When can we expect Book Satchels?

[Eric Ravenwind]

The devs said they were gonna do Book Satchels sometime in a future publish. Just wondering on an ETA.

Just a reminder, book satchels are to hold all spell books, runic atlas', regular rune books, and BOD books.

 

[SugarMMM]

I have A LOT of BOD books that need satchels ASAP!

 

[Eric Ravenwind]

My casters have a poo-ton of books. That includes my tamer lol. Runic Atlas', spellbooks, omg...

Soon™*

* Soon is expressed as an integer** denoting a variable time scale between "now" and the dissolution of all matter in the universe.***

** Said integer may be equal to zero.

*** But probably not until after EJ.

Maybe after the jewelry boxes get a fix? (How do you organize these when there's no "insert before" -- you can't put an object back in the slot you got it out of).

 

[ShriNayne]

I already took everything back out of the jewel boxes and put them into their old chest.

You can start expecting now When/If it actually materializes is a whole different matter

Since I was behind the curve on this (which is typical) I am assuming this is something for the house and not for your backpack? Anything that saves lock downs I'm behind 100%

This was something to go into the backpack of a player, to hold all the spell books/rune books/runic atlas'/BOD books.

Interesting. I like to recall off my rune books so I'm not sure if this would help me much.

 

[Lord Arm]

ive been asking for this for long time. you got rune, mage, mastery, spellweave, necro, myst. chiv, the devs didn't seem to like/care about the idea when i brought up at various meet and greets. good to see I'm not the only one lol. how many items do u think it should hold? my back pack is a mess with all the various books. i don't see them putting bod books in them.
thjere are more mage books now that they added all the invasion slayers. i think the books should only be able to be used if out of satchel or what ever.

I hope it's fuinctional and not like the jewelry box. What a waste that is, great idea, piss poor inplementation. And don't get me started on not being able to move it without emptying it, that just proves exactly how much testing is done on things...

 

[Dot_Warner]

The satchel should be required to come with macros in both clients that allow for the equipping of a specific book and its return to the satchel, including hot swapping between books in the satchel.

It should be able to hold 125 items. (a weight reduction property, a la quivers, would be awesome. Item count reduction even more so...)

The satchel should also be blessed (spellbooks/runebooks/atlas only), and not spew its contents into the owners pack upon death.

Nice ideas. I'm on board.

I keep repeating it: The jewelry box was never intended as a useful present but only as first test for the CC grid containers they spoke of. It's a nice by-product of some upcoming thing they are working at. Nothing more, nothing less. But they know most of their fanboys are gonna buy whatever story they tell and cheer anyway.

It's their 2018 mantra: How can we make those fools stick around another month while putting in least work possible.
