Heya,
I just moved from custom house to a keep. I want my crafting to take place on the roof but... Is there any way for me to drag this 60k stones chest to the roof, up the ladders?
Just wanted to be sure before I start doing something else.
You should be able to drag it anywhere within 1-2 tiles of the tile you're standing on, that is you can shift a chest up to 4 tiles in any direction most times. The following guidelines are what I would recommend and should work in the 2D client for sure as that's what I've tested them with:
1.
Never move while dragging the chest. This is unnecessary and a waste of your character's stamina.
2. Make sure that wherever you are standing is within reach of both the origin tile and the destination tile. I can't count the number of times I went and tried to drag it from 3 tiles away instead of 1-2, don't worry you get the hang of it eventually.
3. If you are dragging up stairs in Keeps/Castles, you may need to drag to within one tile of you but you should still be able to make 2 tiles at a time up stairs.
4. If you're going to go dragging it up a ladder, stand
next to the base of the ladder drop it onto the bottom of the ladder move up to the top of the ladder where the wall is, turn your circle of transparency on in the 2D client so that this wall vanishes from sight temporarily (I haven't tested this with SA client) and drop the chest down on the tile just north or west of the wall. This works best with visible walls, if you're trying to do this on a wall that's not visible from the roof (EG north or west walls) it may be a lot more difficult. Shifting the ladder temporarily to a visible wall would be a lot easier to do.
5. Sometimes it may be necessary to move objects or redeed decoration temporarily because these items may impede the line of sight your character has or make the chest go behind them, turning it invisible. Planning of your intended route is the way to go, and carefully picking interim destinations will help greatly in getting that chest to where you want it to go.
6. You probably already know this, but dismount from your pet before doing this. It is a lot easier to see an item if your mount does not get in the way, and if you park them in a suitable spot beforehand, they will quite happily wait for you to finish whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.
I've not tested this with a gargoyle character, human/elf/gargoyle though should work fine for this.
If you can't get this done yourself, I will be quite happy to create or bring a character on whatever shard you need this done on and help you drag it around. I think that with a little practice you can quite easily drag it around yourself.
