Managing your inventory in Baldur's Gate 3 can be a challenge, but these tips will help you keep things organized and avoid becoming over-encumbered.
How to Organize Your Inventory In BG3
There are several ways to manage your inventory, including selling items, organizing them into bags or chests, and utilizing your storage chest at camp.
Sell Items
You will acquire a vast number of items during your exploration. Many of these, such as Plates, Books, Gems, Old Equipment, and Certain Jewelry, are primarily intended to be sold. Merchants can be found in various villages throughout the game. The first merchant you'll likely encounter is located in Emerald Grove.
When interacting with a merchant, you'll see options for 'Trade' and 'Barter.' Trading allows you to sell items at their default value. Switching to 'Barter' may allow you to obtain more Gold if you are strategic. For more details on bartering, refer to the 'How to Improve Your Attitude With Traders in BG3' guide.
Make Use of The Storage Chest in Baldur’s Gate
If your inventory is full and you risk becoming over-encumbered, selling items is a good option. However, if you are in the middle of a quest or exploring a cave without nearby merchants, you can send unwanted items to your storage chest located at your camp. To do this, right-click the items you wish to store and select the “send to camp” option. This chest has an infinite number of slots, and you can retrieve your items from camp whenever you need them.
How to Select More Items at Once in Baldur’s Gate 3
Managing inventory one item at a time can be tedious. To speed up the process, you can select multiple items simultaneously. Select an item, then hold the indicated button (e.g., Shift on PC) while clicking on other items to select them all at once. This is particularly useful for selling or sending multiple items to camp.
How to Sort Inventory in Baldur’s Gate 3
If you have a large quantity of items, finding a specific one can be difficult. Baldur's Gate 3 offers an inventory sorting feature. Press the “Sort By” button, usually located near the search bar on your inventory screen. You can then sort your items by Latest, Value, Weight, or Type to better organize your belongings.
