Backpack pouch uses and limits...

The backpacj puches and simmilar items allow players to do a couple of things, but are limited in a way that needs to change.

You can place items in them, set prices on those items and set the bag to sell its contents. This is awesome because it makes you a walking connie, with none of the fees or limits. The downside is this; when someone goes to buy something, they have to not only select the item they want, but offer the coin too pay.

It is also handy to help reduce the visual clutter of goods.

What these things need to do is allow you to sell the pouch with goods in them. It could have a saftey feature that will reduce the price to 0 if items are removed from the pouches. Also connies need to be able to accept stuffed bags. This way you can offer better services as a crafter to the public (make all in one adventure kits filled with gear for a fixed whole set price)...

I don't think the current consigner code could handle a bag...you'd have to place a bag on the connie and then allow a prospective buyer to view the guts of the bag.

I'd venture to guess that the reason buyers have to also offer a price when you treat yourself as a walker consigner is to allow bartering.

You are selling 40 pieces or armor at 12s a piece. A buyer wants to buy a full suit and would like to buy them at 9s a piece plus provide you with some tech comps. They can drag the items they want to buy into the "receive", offer up the cash and the comps and you can agree. In that format the buyer doesn't have to goand change the original prices downwards.

Selling a complete armor would be great for beginner armors.

Just add a way to browse the content of the pouch from the consigner.. but just set a package price for all of its contents, so the buyer must buy the container + all its content.

Still now you can add 10 complete beginners armor.. or sets of beginnerspells or sets of jewlery to a consigner.

Would be very good for some trades!! [Y]

Also just giving my formula pouch over to a guildie so s/he can take whatever they like in there.. would be great to be able to trade a full pouch.

We use to be able to trade bags with items in them but it was a bug and easily exploitable. People were taking bags with items in them they weren't meant to have taken etc.

I'd LOVE to be able to sell package deals but they would definately have to code in a confirmation popup box (yes I know, popups are evil but in this case it would be a need) listing all items in said bag.
For example:


Are you sure you wish to trade Kenaf Backpack Pouch containing:
10 Gruok Kebabs
10 Minnow Kebabs
10 Beef Kebabs
10 Vegetable Soup
10 Pickled Minnow Nuggets
10 Pickled Gruok Nuggets
10 Pickled Beef Nuggets
10 Beef Stew
10 Minnow Stew
10 Gruok Stew

And then you'd hit yes or no. One conf box per container being traded with items inside. If you were trading all full bags it would be a lot of popups but worth it IMO as it double checks what you've sold.

That would solve a LOT of trade problems for sure when you need to trade masses of items to people and can only do 15 items a time. Confirmation box would be the key to doing this though. Of course you are still going to get those people who will insist on being less than attentive and still trade things they don't mean to but I'm sure we still get that now anyhow.

The connies can handle the bag as an item, thats all it is. There could be a right click option to view contents.

If they had it before, they could and should have it again...

Trading with items in them isnt a bug, its neglect on the bag owner... You can name bags and see their contents anytime. The secure option for the bag could enable the popup you speak of Merriweather...
