I think a storage chest summoning stone gift from Nicholas the Traveler would be great. For me, it would be nice to have the option of conjuring a storage chest while farming when all slots in inventory become full.

Moonstalker · Aug 12, 2009, 02:20 PM // 14:20

I agree. I often forget specific things that I need when it's too late, or very inconvenient to go back and grab it.

Pistachio · Aug 12, 2009, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Yes, it would be nice, but ultimately I think it would be a bit too convenient for players. I don't think everything should be at our fingertips.

If the game isn't easy enough already, go play Sesame Street Adventures. The game has farming, and many people do it. However, the game is not about farming. If you can't remember to bring things you need/want, why would you remember to bring something like a Xunlai Summoning Stone? Unless they were extremely common, you wouldn't use them very much, so you'd soon complain that you need space to store them.

Seriously.... stop farming 10 hours a day, or make use of the things we already have. Mercantile Summoning Stones are already designed for farming.

I've never used a Mercantile Summoning Stone while farming. I use them when doing chain vanquishing, long dungeons, etc. Why would I want to use them while farming, given than most farming runs are very short duration and I can just unload my pack as I pass through the outpost when it becomes necessary? And how does a merchant help if I'm farming for something other than cash, such as collectables? I just don't see how they are "designed for farming" when it is pointless to use them while farming.

And the merchant doesn't solve all the problems of filling your pack while on a long non-farming run if you don't wish to merch all mats, collectable drops, useful weapon mods, runes, etc. I find that my pack starts filling up with stuff I want to keep, leaving less and less room for stuff that I will merch.

I actually think it's a decent idea. Not for the farming aspect (ahem...bring a Superior Salvage Kit), but for simple convienence for accessing items in your storage when you want to.

lol why have bags then?

majikmajikmajik · Aug 12, 2009, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Ohh yeah this is a great idea, now vaettir farmers never have to leave the explorable area!

Ooh i forgot my consumables, never mind i got a storage stone!!

I am fully aware the game isn't all about farming. It was merely a suggestion...that is what this forum is about. As far as Sesame Street goes, I gave that up about 33 years ago at age 7. I do not farm 10 hours a day. If I received Mercantile stones I probably would use them. On the highly improbable chance that Anet created Xunlai stones, you and others of your opinion could always sell them if you were so unlucky to have received them. That is what I do with the items for which I have no use.

A level 24 chest? Add RoJ, SF, Echo, AP and Call to Abbadon. /signed

Umm unless you have been living under a rock, then you should know that with SF we DO have everything at our fingertips.

OP: It would make everything too convenient. With a merch stone and this xunlai stone, you would never need to head back to the outpost.

Hm...

The Command Post doesn't have one.
Why?
Answer that and you'll answer why can't this be done.

[Ah, herro there.]
Full inventory fix that Nick already provides.
If you need back into your chest that badly, just cut the run short. :/

Mercantile won't help with all farming options, no, but many of them it will. The Vaettir farming is the best example, as most people who farm them will zone in and out until they have a filled inventory. Materials can be stacked up to 250, so it takes little space to save materials. Weapons, runes, insignias, however, can add up quickly. Collectibles are also stackable up to 250, so they don't take much space either. The ability to sell stuff not worth salvaging for materials and to buy more ID kits and/or salvage kits is what allows farming to continue for areas where you don't re-enter a city. But as you noted, the farming that wouldn't find a Mercantile Stone useful wont' find a Xunlai Stone useful either. Since you rezone into a city often, why need Xunlai?

I am curious as to 'why' Xunlai can't be in the Command Post though.

Yawgmoth · Aug 12, 2009, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Xunlai chest isn't in Command Post because either it's a poorly designed location or there are technical difficulties in accessing account items data while outside outposts. If there are technical obstacles then they almost surely disallow such a summon.

But if it's doable without too much work then I don't see any single reason against it, although I wouldn't use it myself.

crazybanshee · Aug 13, 2009, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Eh, too easy. They've already made this game so easy that the average 2 year old can dtsc for max kurzick, why make it any easier?

Zahr Dalsk · Aug 13, 2009, 06:27 AM // 06:27

I think NOT, for bloody obvious reasons.

This wouldn't actually make the game any easier - just more convenient.
