Where to store alchemy/crafting parts?

[󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡Atlas]

do you carry around all the crafting components...forever? I need a storage chest to dump all these random monster parts. What are we supposed to do when this encroaches on our 99 slots of party inventory?

Thanks in Advance!

Either use them or sell them. They will take up your inventory space otherwise, so hoarding too many will have a drawback.

You must fulfill a couple of cart ambitions to expand your inventory size. Also you can get a random event from high lvl caravan hand bro that expands it too.

As for crafting items I prefer to:
- sell most of it (especially that's easy to find or not so useful)
- craft gear if I find it useful (nets, armor attachments, cocaine etc.) ASAP

Thanks Brother (appreciate your replies in other thread too =))
How do you increase your inventory size? Is it RNG or can i pursue it?

Regards!

There are two cart/wagon ambitions that will increase your inventory size at the cost of a bunch of gold. They will only appear after you've completed the "professional" renown ambition and will appear randomly along with the other ambitions in the pool.

A level 6 or high Caravan Hand has a random event that can increase inventory size (once per campaign). This is completely rng with event luck, but you can increase the odds by having multiple level 6+ Caravan Hands.

How many times can you get wagon abmition over again ? I am at 150 slots at the moment, but I seen ppl on youtube who have like 250. Is it possible to get that many or were they using mods ?

[eightysixties]

According to wiki you can get 62 extra slots via two cart ambitions and one caravan hand event. Peasant militia origin has 108 inventory slots instead of usual 99 at the start. So the upper limit is 170 in vanilla. And definitely not 250)

There should be a Seperated Inventory for Weapons i will keep, sometimes you acendently sell some stuff you wanne keep.

I'd like to see something like that also, not only for the weapons but all the stuff I want to keep. That's a time management issue for me.

It's possible someone in our retinue will further expand inventory space. That'd be a nice addition. I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be able to hire porters, for example. Or use slaves for that purpose, if we'd be allowed to own slaves after all.

[PIT_DEFENDER]

Oh thats horrible I guess ill have to start throwing away things, but everything seems so useful ;p

I found a caravan hand, so if I level him up to 6 and then wait for an even tigger and then just keep reloading ill eventually will get that event right ?XD

[gazomierz]

Should work. I'd say tho it's not worth the bother. Event should trigger on its own anyway. Just don't hoard junk in the meantime.

I find the whole crafting experience in BB to be a big waste of effort* for the most part but then I have never had all the parts to any of the "good" items people have reported on. Plenty of garbage items to get though if you want to waste your gold and storage space. That said, after the events that give you better storage it does not hurt to cart them around until you get bored at a high price market and sell them all.

*having said this, it is most probably because I am not a dedicated or good player.

google battle brothers mods

download "bigger cart - base and ambitions - dlc compatible"

while you are at it also get tryout talents and faster and scout location and and .. well u get the drift ;D

[andrekroon27]

Yeah the bigger inventory is a mod as has been said.

As for crafting, most things are not worth keeping around or crafting and should just be sold. Some things are worth crafting if you have an immediate use for them, such as poisons, antidotes and reinforced nets beyond the first 2 or 3. Then there are the toptier materials which you want to always keep, which are mainly Thick White Fur, Bones of both the troll and lizard kind.

You also want to keep witch parts and hearts of the forest on hand if you want to use them, though not everyone considers their craftables worthwhile, if you dont just make witch necklaces, if you do then keep most of these around for night vision, experience pots, second wind, and potion of oblivion, only sell them if you accumulate truly a lot of them such as more than 4 or 5 or whatever number youd consider too much.

Other things like Alp/Wolf/Nacho parts just sell unless you've acquired a full set to use on something you want, such as for example crafting a necklace or combining them with the rarer materials if you have acquired those or making some of the more common potions such as Lionheart or Ironwill or Happy Powder, all of which are useful, just don't make too much of them. The exception is early game where it's worth keeping singular parts around unless you need the cash.

You don't even need mods to 'cheat' your inventory size. You could just download BBEdit from the stickied thread and only use it to increase the cart size.

As others have said, a lot of the craftables aren't really worth it. I've never used any of the amulets, for example, since they go in the same slot as wardogs and falcons.
