Now I'm sure you're ready to go adventuring and collecting all kinds of treasure right? But you don't want to just lug all that gear around, and you might ask yourself what do I actually need? Now while it's good to have an ace up your sleeve, you don't want to be like Nodwick over here. That's a ticket to back pain if I ever saw it!
These are the kinds of things that come to mind. Some rope, a lantern, some rations, and a backpack to carry it all. But maybe you just want to make it easy on yourself and buy a pack. Below are two examples of just that sort of thing.

Below are the kinds of things one might look for if they had less noble intentions. Like say "visiting" the secure area of a museum to "borrow" some valuable artwork.

I like to make checksheets or lists. This way you can put things in order of priority to buy, or keep track of what you have.
