Tenderfoot Thahd Lina Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello. I'm now playing A1. I have a question. I dumped few items in a fort. A few meal sacks, few trophys etc in one pile.Went battleing. Then I dumped some of my food (meat, mushrooms) there, and went farming mobs again. Now i wanted to go and sell all of the trophys and MY FOOD IS NOT THERE. T_T wattahell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I know stuff stays in fort emergency in Avernum III if you dump it there... Is avermum 1 different? There might only be certain areas to store stuff, like the Exile series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I remember a room was designated for storing items in A3, but I can't think of one in A1. Interestingly, the A1 manual says: Originally Posted By: Spiderweb Finally, if you leave an item in a town, the item will still be there when you return. For example, if you can’t carry all of the items you want to keep, leave the excess in Fort Avernum. Another inaccuracy, perhaps. But are you sure you didn't go back to another save or maybe leave it in a different town than the one you're searching? I just left food in the middle of two different towns while I traveled around, and it was still there when I got back. Edit: Oh, and welcome to Spiderweb software. Please leave your sanity at the door. Unlike your food, it may still be there when you go back for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk S M Adventurer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 In my experience with the First Avernum Trilogy, I have noticed that dropped items do remain where you put them in all towns and even dungeons. I found this out accidentally by dropping cursed items after I get them identified. I drop them outside the sage's shop, leave town and return. The items are still there, right where I put them.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes. There are some suggestions of designated storage areas left over from the Exile trilogy, where you did have limited areas that remembered items. All of the Avernum games store anything you drop anywhere except outdoors. —Alorael, who wonders if you hit one of the more irritating bugs. If there are too many items on the ground (or in containers) in a town, the game loses track and they start vanishing. It takes a ton of items to do that, but you can reach the limit if you hoard everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Lina Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 I know that all items are where they were dropped intown, I just never dropped food before. *OK_face.jpg* Also, I can say that my arrows are missing too. I suddenly had a thought - what if the intown "wandering" NPCs are GODDAM THIEVES and it's them who are picking up my stuff? O_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The only thieves wandering around the town are in your party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Lina Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 If seriosly - I think I'm right. My food is gone, my arrows, also my cloaks and pants. OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think I remember something like that happening, but as I recall, it happened if you piled a lot of stuff in one area, or on one space. If you spread your stuff apart, even in the same town then you would be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
