Blessed items

Post by +Colibri »

I would like to remind you, to have all blessed/insured items in your top-level backpack. If you have it in a container (bag/backpack/box) within your backpack, the blessing/insurance doesnt work.

It's because when you die, all your items in your top-backpack are checked. A container is treated as an item, it ignores all the items inside. So if a container is blessed, it keeps it with all the things inside.
But if it isnt blessed, it falls in your corpse, along with all the blessed things inside.

Keep your insured/blessed items on yourself or in the top-level backpack, or the blessing wont work and you will loose the items.

(I'll add a pouch that will be blessed, but you will only be able to put blessed items in there. To help organize your backpack.)

And when you loot your body any blessed items you have in your inventory will automatically go to the bottom of the bag if anything in the same location is looted back into your bag.

I've had pets seemingly disappear because of that little side effect.

Has this been done? Or where is it available? I have a few blessed things that would be best not to be cluttering the main pack for when I [claimall

Yes, for runebooks, spellbooks, etc... I'll try to put them in at the next server release.

Just bought a backpack for blessed items and noticed that I can't cast chiv or mage spells if those books are in the blessed backpack... am I doing something wrong or is there no workaround for this?

You can only cast the spells when the book is in your main pack, in my experience, unless someone has found a way around it (and if so I'd love to hear about it). The only exception that I've found is that with a relayered Omni Magus spellbook, you do not need to have a book in your backpack to cast spells, only to be able to pull/drag icons.

If you type or set a macro to say [cs followed by the spell name with no spaces, for example: [cs holylight , you can cast spells from spellbooks inside a blessed container in your main backpack.
