Players earn gold through various means in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Completing side quests serves as one way; meanwhile, looting chests and the bodies of dead enemies can also prove lucrative. Of course, there\u2019s always the pickpocketing route, an ability users can improve by investing in Dexterity and Sleight of Hand skills. Some players are raking in their riches through unconventional means, however. And strangely, the strategy in question involves hoarding lots of boxes \u2013 nearly every box in the game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players\u2019 are hoarding crates worth 200K in gold In the BG3 subreddit, a user named Stompingchicken said they introduced their former roommate and his brother to Larian Studios\u2019 acclaimed RPG. The brothers fell in love with it and quickly realized that containers have a value of at least a couple of gold apiece. As such, they\u2019ve since become \u201ccrate merchants\u201d who hoard nearly every container they run across. After getting a new box, the duo sends \u201cit right to camp, and every person they can trade with they pawn off all the goodies they can.\u201d It\u2019s not a joke, either. A screenshot the Redditor shared shows the brothers own an Opulent Chest that holds 4,710 crates. In addition to weighing several tons, the thousands upon thousands of containers have a value of more than 200,000 gold. Commenters in the thread are amused by the tactic. And, apparently, the OP\u2019s friends aren\u2019t the only ones hoarding boxes in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. One person said they \u201choard chests for inventory management.\u201d Another person said they collect pretty much everything else. \u201cAnd here I thought I was bad with my habit of hoarding every bottle, and skull, and rotten cheese, and rope, and cup, and plate, and fork\u2026\u201d It would seem the crew at Larian really did develop a game for pretty much every type of RPG player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are becoming super rich by hoarding crates Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are earning their riches by hoarding and selling every crate they find while exploring the game.
