What do you keep in your inventory?

[Dough]

I'm curious as to what things people carry around in their pockets; restorative items, equipment to switch to, or even thorwing equipment.

I'm sure someone will correct my foolishness, but I give everyone 5 Spring Waters and a lantern and then hand out healing 'things' when needed. I only recently started stashing Sobering Wine, so I don't really have a stock of that to pull from yet...

I realize I'm necroing, but this thread helped me a lot when I started, so I thought I'd add my kit (mostly because I know I'm going to forget something if I make another NG):

Arisen:
- 8 Tagilus Miracles (for random Death encounters)
- 3 to 5 Harspud Sauce and Mushroom Pottages
- eternal ferrystone
- Godsbane
- elite lantern
- Wyemking's Ring
- Blessed Flower (because I tend to avoid dragon barf better than my pawn)

Main Pawn:
- 4 Nostalgia Dust
- 4 Peppermint Seed
- 4 Cockatrice Liquer
- 25 Mushroom Pottages
- 25 Harspud Sauce
- 5 liftstones
- light pickaxe (he's a bit ADD)
- 4 rancid bait meat (for farming Death)
- 30 to 50 blinder, silencer, sleeper, and petrifying arrows (for guest pawn training)
- fiend luring incense (guest pawns usually need the normal mobs in the Rotunda and Abby)
- Wyrmking Ring
- drake/wyrm/wyvern tears
- gold idol forgery
- expediting papers
- 6 wakestones
- 8 skeleton keys (for Gear3 in the Ward of Regret and Bloodless Stockade)
- backup Heaven's Key and Dragons Glaze for Living Armor mishaps and pawn training)

One Guest Pawn:
- 250 blast arrows for Death
- nothing else--if they want curatives, they have to pick them up themselves

Skeleton Keys, Elite Lantern, Eternal Ferrystone.

More importantly, items that cure petrification

My main char only keeps the absolute essentials: gear and items such as drake's tears etc. No curatives, nothing else. I don't personally use any curatives, maker's fingers, or blast arrows (or arrows of any kind). Blast arrows are so broken it's not fun to me (just watched a youtuber fail at 2nd form Daimon on his main MK only to watch him switch to an assassin and spam blast arrows, using only the base arrow attack mind you, to stun lock Daimon to death as if it was child's play). No buff items (looking at you liquid Vim). Nothing on my main character. BUT, and it's a big butt, I let my pawns pick and hold whatever curatives they want and I even purchase shrooms and warish to put into their inventories. So, with the maganimous cloak, they keep me slightly above empty most times.

I do this in part for a small challenge and in large part because I LOATHE opening the inventory mid combat, pausing the game, and healing up to my heart's content (this method is so archaic, I wish it was done off with as it destroys immersion along with the flow of combat). I don't use any personal curatives at all even after a fight, because they are just too plentiful and this game is just too easy once you get some decent dragonforged gear, fashion or otherwise.

Lastly, I do allow myself wakestones, because of their "auto" use after death and I also tend to loath the traditional saving and loading systems that games like these use. So, in essence, I offset all my disadvantages in this manner, lol. Ah well.
