Cleric Stronghold

[8-bit]

After being given the stronghold I went to store some items in a cupboard and got instantly attacked. Why is this? Where can I store my stuff?

well, if you get Hexxat and do her quest she passes you a bag that can be used as a bag of holding pretty early on, but if you want a map container, the random ones in wakeen's promenade work.

various bags can be purchased to hold various things, gem bags hold gems, rings and amulets, scroll racks hold scrolls and notes. I dunno what you want to store. I just carry most of it in the various bags and sell it as needed.

Thanks. I haven't got any bags, must have missed them. :(

Yeah, the cleric and paladin strongholds are a bit sub-par in that respect - they're not really your space, they're just places where you get new quests. Pretty lame when compared to the many cozy rooms of the Thief stronghold (although that one has super lame content, so I guess it evens out) or the Ranger cabin, where you get to rest with the beds animation and all.

As for your stuff, you can also store it in any other handy container (that you had interacted with before without trouble). Many players use a chest in the Copper Coronet, I believe, because that's also where several NPCs go when dismissed so it does have a bit of a HQ vibe to it.

Thanks

But the chests won't empty after you quit the game no? I dread losing all my stuff!

Just don't drop on the ground. Every container is fine.

That's great, thanks for the info!

Nothing should vanish from containers, unless something drastic happens to the area itself, like it becoming inaccessible, or changing significantly, which is something the game often handles by simply substituting a new version of the area in question.
For instance, if you do the Mae'Var quests, and leave something in a container in Mae'Var's guild, and then you get the guild as your stronghold, the interior of the guild looks the same, but anything you left in a container there is gone - because the area is actually not the same anymore. It gets swapped with an interior of your guild, which has slightly different properties (allows you to rest etc.).

Those cases are rare, though. You can usually leave your stuff in any container that strikes your fancy. On my first ever playthrough (man, that was long ago!) my party moved into the abandoned house in the slums and routinely went there to chill.

Oh and things dropped on the ground will vanish eventually, but not plot items - letters and keys and whatnot. Other things will, though, so don't leave Carsomyr laying around.

Thanks, appreciate the info. ;)

you lose stuff when you move to throne of bhaal, but by that time you should have a few bags of holding to carry whatever.

Good to know!
