Yes, it is possible.
You must have spell transmute (you will find it very early). |

how early is that?
I've just started and seen 3 or 4 houses.
Just did the quest of clearing somebody's sellar.
It would be a bad thing if i mist something important like that.
Thanks |

Well, you will not find one, but several perchament with this spell, you will not miss it. I think I found first maybe after 2 hours or something like that. |

You make a lot more gold by actually selling the items to merchants. Transmute changes the items into a fraction of the gold they're worth. IMHO you are better off taking a donkey with you and carrying all your treasure to a merchant.

Sometimes you can't carry every item with you back to town, and during certain parts of the game, town is a very long travel away.
Transmute is one of the most useful spells I've seen in the game. I play a solo character with a packmule and used magic just long enough to cast transmute so I could make sure every item went to use. |

Hmm... that's cool that transmute worked well for you. I never used it after I found out how much it discounted everything. I took three pack mules and carried everything to merchants. I never had to leave a single item behind, even when the merchants were far away. Different strokes I guess, both ways will work.

I do not use transmute, I do not use mules, I usually reach merchant with characters with not full inventory. I pick up only very expensive items. I have 1 200 000 gold now (20 hours in game) and I think I will never use them. Sometime I buy several potions, usually I buy several pieces of armor and weapons, but still I have much more than I need and probably than I will ever need.
1 very good item = 1 000 normal items = 100 average magic items - so I do not see reason why to pick up something else than first class of items, I do not need to have 10 000 000 gold at the end. |

How far have you gotten soloing through that dungeons? I think that on the way from the trading post to the dark forest it would be impossible to survive with just one char on normal difficulty...

Llama I wonder how strong is your character now (and in what part of story you are). I wonder how much quicker is developement of 1 character party than 8 character party. |

Without spoiling:
It's challenging but you level rather quickly. The Goblin Fortress is pure hell though. |

Yes Sero, I have far more money than I need. I do not bother with changing things into money, I do not bother with mules and picking up normal items. |
