are all items with zero weight quest-related?

[baron667]

the adventuring type does things in scrambled order. visiting random locations, caves, mines, if accessible.

it happened to my chara quite some times, that he picked items in a cave, where he had to return later for a quest, and re-explore the place in order to get the message at the end: "you've found a shield, bring it back to XXXX" or whatever.

there are still some zero-weight items in my inv, picked up at random places, mostly dungeons.

there is a black robe (not necromancer's) for instance. will there be a quest for it eventually, or not necessarily?

There are a few zero-weight items that are not quest related. Black robe, dark shirt, dark pants, etc. They're handy for mage & ultra-light thief types who don't wear any armour. Eventually when your armour skill gets high enough it won't encumber you, but normal clothes will always weigh a few pounds (and you always wish you could carry just a couple more pounds of loot).

The real tip-off that an item is quest related is if you can't drop it (even if you pick it up before the quest actually starts).

thanks, that's exhaustive
