do i need to keep this items or what?

jahes64

hello everyone
i have a lot of items which i am not sure if they are junks or useful.
i have a lot of letters with name of "Letter" about chair, mulahey, tanzok, davaeorn,... and i got some other letters during DORN's quests and a lot of other various items like key, wine and other items which i needed to gain access to second underground floor in Durlags Tower, plus a bunch of wards from various places in Durlags Tower or from npcs which claimed that these wards are going to help me in there.

so shall i just throw them away or what?

Once you're done with Durlag's Tower you can pitch all that stuff. The letter about the chair is worth some money if you sell it. The others can generally be discarded once you've read them, or completed any quest they relate to.

Find a container somewhere and dump it. If you've completed that part of Durlag's tower you won't need those items anymore. And the only scroll that you'll need to hold onto if my memory doesn't fail me is the Invitation you get later on in the game that let's you get into the castle with the dukes.

Once used, quest items usually become worthless.

I usually pick some house or room in an inn where I use one box to store all my magical treasure and another to hoard unused quest stuff. Nowadays I pretty much know which items I won't need ever again, but keep them out of tradition.

You can copy some of the important notes directly to your journal via 'copy to journal' button. Once youread a note and have your journal updated, you don't need to carry those letters any more. If you need to have a letter the note will say 'this stuff looks important, you need to carry this' (as is the deal with the invitations to the coronation in Duchal Palace at the end of the game)

The 'chair' letter is a random drop, is worth100 gp or such for the joke.

A cheap price for a profound question.

i dont think that is a good idea since they will disappear anyway, however it takes longer time.
i did placed all of companions inside friendly arms inn and put these items on inventory of some of the companions that i never use!

As far as I'm aware any item you put into a container should stay there forever. Its items left on the ground that will disappear.

i did put some items in one of containers in friendly arms inn but after a while which i came back to collect them, none of those items were there

I always stash my stuff at the Jovial Juggler and have never had items disappear...

BG1 they should stay. BG2 they could disappear if you leave them in a building that could become your guildhouse (like the Mar'vae Guildhouse).

If you're really worried about it, sell it to a shopkeeper. It won't disappear but you'll have to pay more to get it back. Think of it as a bank charge for using their safety depsoit box.

If I ever have any doubt about an item, I dump it in the barrel in Beregost outside of the Jovial Juggler "Just in case". That way it doesn't take up space in any of my precious inventory slots. After all, it's not like money is a problem after the initial part of the game.

But that stuff all sounds worthless after Durlag's. Certainly the notes are worthless. And you can always copy them into your journal if you want to keep them for posterity.
