is this a known problem?

[Poo]

i was sorting out stuff in my crafting supply chest and i was moving a stack of 60,000 boards and i dropped them and they landed on one of my never-ending water jugs (the ones ya get from chucking water jugs at water elementals that you bind to water troughs)
and my boards disappeared......

so i found them.... in the jug!
i cant open the jug, but they are obviously in there due to the weight.
so i tryed to put another in there.
yup, they went in.
so for good measure i dropped one last stack in there.

now i have a jug labelled a container that you cant open, haha

Wierd
I have a stack of arrows that is called an arrow but its the graphic of a stack
I found it in a quiver given to me
I can move it np but when i move it its something like 66567 arrows
If i try to take just some it still moves the whole stack
Im gonna try putting it in a quiver one day and see if i can use em
Dunno whats up with it

 

[Martyna Zmuir]

Thats hilarious

One of these days, you're gonna find me there, axe in hand, studying that pitcher. I have a carpenter that hasn't finished her training yet and a very lazy lumberjack....

 

[MagicStar]

Thank god its just regular wood
Imagine val ingots?
Thatd be a real ouch

We had this problem one year with the Catskills holiday "sour milk" containers. People were dropping stuff into their backpacks without realizing the things were going into the container and they thought they were losing items.

At least it's locked down, so they won't decay.. You just have to figure out how to get inside. Fun game. My first suggestion is a straw.

 

[NBG]

Try the vendor trick.

 

[Sevin0oo0]

Try the vendor trick.

probably can't since it's almost 200k stones.
says there's 4 items, wonder what the other 3 are?

One oxygen and two hydrogen? Oh wait the two hydrogen would stack.. never mind.

Hydrogen is a new item... it hasn't had the stacking code applied yet because it can be used in baking (when, of course, applied to the oxygen).

what an idiot, told ya i was - comes from poor reading comprehension....
"a stack of 60,000 boards and i dropped them
so i tryed to put another in there. yup, they went in.

that's 3 + water=4?, duh

 

[Tjalle]

So 3,8K stones of water then?

 

[Lady Storm]

Wonder if it can water the fish or plants with that weight....hmm just thought of it if you do water the fish do they get the lumber.....

I had an item go into a "Rare" that was a container.

In order to get it out I had to put the container item on a pack animal then open the back back. I was able to open the container then and pull out the item.

Is was a bit stressed since the item that got stuck in the container was another rare lol. I did get it out using the above method.

 

[Tjalle]

I was thinking pack animal too but with 180K stones that has got to be one strong ox.

 

[Lord Nabin]

Aye!

 

[Lord Nabin]

I wonder if one of those new chests would work that hooks you up to your bank from your house.

 

[Tina Small]

I really want him to try an axe on it and see what happens. Will he get a puddle of water and piles of boards?

 

[Tina Small]

I wonder if one of those new chests would work that hooks you up to your bank from your house.

The chests of sending are like bags of sending--you can't use them to send a container of any type to the bank, just single objects or single stacks of objects.

 

[Flutter]

You don't think the boards displaced the water?
Putting the item on a vendor usually works.

Gotcha so what is the benefit of the Chest then? It holds more charges or something?

Like I said before you are always learning something new even after 14+ years Love this game!

I think they have 50 charges per day and those charges are reset back to 50 each day at server maintenance without having to recharge them like you do with a bag of sending (which also eventually become "saturated" and useless). You can also set the security on the chest of sending so characters other than those on the house owner's account can use it, if desired, and if they are on accounts that have been updated with the right theme pack (Gothic, I think). Other than that, they seem to work just like a bag of sending and have the same restrictions on what you can use them on (e.g., can't use on containers or cursed items).

I don't think a vendor would accept that much weight (over 183k stones), especially if it's stuck inside a container.

 

[Lord Frodo]

UMMMM And it only took you THREE time doing this to figure it out.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
Fool me three times UMMMMMM
JK

 

[Poo]

you should see me in the back of my ambulance at work!

*poke*
owwww!
that hurt?

*poke*
OWWWWW!
really? that hurts, that shouldn't hurt.

*POKE*
LET ME OUT!
oh.... so that hurts, huh?

 

[Raptor85]

it would take forever but if it's considered a container you might be able to unlock it and steal them out

 

[R Traveler]

I have item inside runebook and pack animal trick does not work.

 

[outcry]

Not that one person mention this but did you at least report it as a bug on the bug fourms?

 

[MalagAste]

Perhaps you can put the jug on a vendor and buy the items out of the jug????

 

[Barok]

Be careful, you might get whacked with the ban-hammer for exploiting...
