Collectible and Gem Bags!

[Xaaon]

And an Apparatus of Kwalish!

An artifact? how'd you get that from the container items I listed? maybe you were thinking of The Book of Infinite Spells instead of the infinite scroll case?

Thank you for doing something so simple yet so needed.

You are bringing back the fun of grabbing collectibles that hasn't been felt since anyone had their first level 1 noob.

Now if we can just convince you to somehow squeeze an extra pack slot in...

Im wondering if the medium packs will collect and such effectively inside a bank account. With all the new collectibles coming out, and their value medium and/or large may become very nessecerry. And since the Large will be a rare drop.... that serves teh plat sellers, why would DDO want to help the platsellers with the way they run their games?

People who are limited on account, space, toons etc. are players. Well I havent seen many sellers lately, maybe they finally were removed? Is DDO on our side finally? Anyway these bags are a great help, but the large functionality as a rare item is not a good idea. It will be overpriced at auction hurting only your average player, further feeding peoples ideas of selling items and platinum for real money. As long as the games goals are within reach of normal game play plat sellers will have nothing to sell. But when you make many goals outside the grasp of a normal player, that is when sellers and ridiculous inflation occurs.

Collectibles systems for loot, which dont require to much repitition, will make the game fun and enjoyable and scare away sellers, although it complicates the market. But its like building a maze to your house, tough for your friends to get in at first but once they know the way its no problem, and it would deter anyone from soliciting you.....


ON PACK MANAGEMENT- I have used a house rule for years that each item has Weight and Bulk. Each player is limited by how much they can carry in sense of both Bulk and weight. This would be EXTREMELY easy for DDO to manage with computerized calculating. Its a little harder in PnP so a lot of people just make bags of holding standard so as not to have to do to much calculating writing and erasing. Give us INFINITE slots with a limit on the total BULK (size) of our gear. This can be expanded by bags of holding. Weight likewise could be adjusted by antiballast magic. So instead of wizards pushing +6 str items just to carry their loot they could instead get an antiballast for their back and decrease their gear load by 100 pounds etc. Anyway this is the way to go... maybe i shoudl post this in Dev section as new thread?

Would love to see the large gem sacks hold more than 30 as i have a gem mule that already has 3 backpacks full. As large packs are supposed to be rare drops that means I have to find about 3 of these rare items to replace my mule.

Guess it doesnt matter as it is a mule and they added another slot for me to make anyways)

Would like to see large packs upped to around 50 or so tho as they are rare and I think there are a lot more gems than collectibles, which a large bag holds 80 of.

I like collectibles. The way I approach the game, they help provide a sense of surviving off the environment. I have a mule for them. So I looked forward to the new medium bags. But then:

90,000 GP?

This disappoints. It seems like good tech, existing for a utilitarian reason, but the cost/benefit ratio fails. I'd have spent 5000 GP for the utility to indulge my hobby within a hobby - but this DQ's it for me.

Make the cost reasonable for gathering Khyber Prayer Pamphlets, Shamanic Totems, and Intact Spore Pods, and I can do more than wish.

You got a small bag for free. You can find a big bag in chests. The medium bag is a luxury and so you have to pay significantly for it.

If it were me, I'd suggest making a new mule (maybe with your new slots) and running the wavecrest quests again. I think you can choose to get two collectible bags instead of one collectible bag and one gem bag.

Where can you buy the medium bags? Who sells them?

My expectations were up as I'd hoped to cut back on using a mule. I hear you, though. At least it hurts less to reroll a mule.

Also, "Empty Handed" general vendor in House Jorasco.

Collectible Bags should have their Stackable number increased (currently 100 per stack). Just so at least Ancient Brozen Tokens from the Desert can take 1 slot in the bag (especially when u have 700 tokens)

[Dark_Helmet]

Hello everyone!

The developer you may know as Zyrca has been kind enough to sit down and tell us a little about a new featured item in the game, called BAGS!

I hope you expand the bags to hold tomes, spell components, and dragonshards.

I also wish you would let tomes stack as well as up the limit for Dragonshards (currently max of 20). Yes, I pulled that many dragonshards and can't sell them for much

[QuantumFX]

OK, I really like the bags so far. I have only 2 wants for them though.

- First: Is there any way we can get the collect button made into an item we can drag to a hotbar? It would be helpful when in a quest with zergers.

- Second: As already mentioned - Efficient Quivers, Scroll Cases, Component cases, Tool Pouch, etc

This gem bag is nearly useless if it takes my gems out of the SELL window. I don't really want to tote this stuff around. Change it.

What happened to the Sell Gems button that I saw in the screenshot? I ran around to many different vendor types and did not get that option... Sure its nice that we can hold a bunch of gems. But if we can't sell them from the gem bag whats the use? I don't want to drag them all out stack by stack then sell them. May as well start ignoring the fact that they exist again.

I concur.

That's exactly what I asked. What the heck happened to SELL GEMS!!! At the very least we need an "Ungather" (Empty/Dump/etc.) button so we don't have to drag and drop each type of gem back to inventory to sell.

[dnisis]

I really like the new bags. It would also be nice as stated for other types of bags. On my sorc, I have about 4 compartments of my backpack filled with components, scrolls and wands. By the time you add these bags and the new bags for the stuff in the orchard and my different optimizer items such as fire lore, glaciation etc, there is no room to pick up new stuff.

One of the best idea's I have seen floated on the bags so far!
Way to use the noodle, yo.

Small bags are bound

Medium bags are exclusive (you can only carry one at a time but have as many as you want in the bank). They are not bound are are tradable and mailable.

Large bags are unbound, and auctionable, tradable, and mailable.

Small bags are tradable, auctionable and mailiable. I have attempted and succeeded
