Make Finding a Bedroll and Shovel your First Priority for Divinity: Original Sin 2

Make Finding a Bedroll and Shovel your First Priority

Make getting these two items your first two priorities when you begin playing Divinity: Original Sin 2. You will be able to find a free bedroll on the floor of the ship at the beginning of the game and picking it up will not be considered stealing. The bedroll is a consumable and using it will replenish the Health Points of your entire party and both types of armor as well as remove all negative statuses (besides the permanent ones). All the characters in your party will also get a buff that gives them +1 to Strength, Constitution and Intelligence. Make sure you use your bedroll when there are no enemies nearby.

A shovel allows you to dig up hidden treasures or reveal secret passages that can lead you to additional quests and/or characters. However, in order to detect them you need a character with well-developed Wits attribute. You can find a shovel at the start of the game by the destroyed wall near the shore. As you progress in the game, you will be able to purchase additional bedrolls and shovels from many merchants.
