Neither mercantile nor Xunlai would be useful for most farming, but my argument isn't about farming. Both would be very useful for long outings in elite areas, dungeons, or vanquishing. Activities where you may be between outposts for 3+ hours at a time.

Yes, collectable items and mats are stackable and you are unlikely to fill a stack of any single item. However, the problem is that on a long run you may get many items. Say you do a vanquish starting from ToA and doing Black Curtain, Tallmark, Tears, and either Twin Serpents or Stingray before being able to get to an outpost with Xunlai. Think of how many different types of collectables, mats, and rare mats you will end up with. Plus any runes and mods worth keeping. You really end up hurting for space well before the end of such a run. The merchant stone helps, but the space available for merchfood dwindles rapidly.

"Wow, we are all at 45+ DP and a party wipe is imminent."
"Nobody has any DP removal???"
"No worries, I have a Xunlai Summoning Stone!"

Oh that is so different from this story.

"Everyone is at 45DP"
"Good thing I brought a stack of powerstones!"

Because, newsflash, if you have enough money these days, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

What kind of abuse? How different is getting items from chest than just bringing them in first place? Or is there some exploit that involves bringing more than say 40 items with you to explorable?

We got Merchant Summon stone. That Gives chances enough to clear inventory.
