Is there any way to keep a drow cloak?

    This. The bg2tweaks pack has a component that lets you either disable the disintegration completely, or have it happen over the course of several in-game weeks (to more closely match PnP)
    Also, if i remember correctly the Solaufein mod has a non disintegrating drow piwafi cloak you can nab if you take along the titular npc along in your party.

    When I ran the tweaks mod I didn't choose the gradual decay of drow items or whatever it says. I thought that would just mean the items disintegrated as soon as they hit sunlight but I've been wearing a drow cloak for a bit now and it's still there. I have another in my pack just to see if that mattered but it's still there too.
    Yes I had to eekeeper them in.
    Eagerly waiting for an updated Solaufein mod :banana:

    yeah, as far as i am aware, the script that checks for the items and destroys them only runs when you leave the underdark. if you cheat them in before/after that point, nothing of note should happen to them.

    The check for drowning item decay happens in the three wooded areas that appear after the underdark. If you put items in a bag of holding before leaving the underdark they should survive the transition - when you're finished with those areas you can leave and re-equip the items from the bags.

    Scripts can find items in bags of holding, especially in EEs. You'd have to get much more creative to keep them. There are also some other checks for drow items in the scripts.
