Help for stables

A pack horse and a material cart carry gathered goods for you, on top of your backpack, ingredient bag and carriers. The stable masters in Willowdale, at the Crossway inn on the Fellmarch and in Greyhearth sell them. You can own one of each.

The pack horse

It carries 20 items of any gathered goods, and a stack counts as one item. It follows you everywhere except into buildings, caves and mines. There it waits outside, and it catches up as soon as you come back out, however you got there.

The cart

A mule pulls it. It carries 40 items of ore, wood and hunter goods such as hides. It keeps to roads, paths and open ground, and it follows you along the way you walk and across the willows. Where it can't go, or when you travel some other way, it waits where you left it until you come back for it.

A woodcutters' track from Stonewall Fork, on the east side of the village, takes the cart into the Wild Willowdale Forest. The Dark Willowdale Forest has no track, so the cart can't go there.

Neither the horse nor the cart goes down the Saltway or into Saltwick.

Picking things up

New goods go to your ingredient bag or a carrier first. Then they go onto your cart, if you are with it and it takes them, then onto your horse, and only then into your backpack. Goods on your horse and cart never make you encumbered.

Selling, crafting, the caravans and the depot all use the goods on your horse, and the goods on your cart while you are with it.
