Can these spawn directly into the chest instead of in a bag???

Actually, it's likely better in the bag cause you don't have to keep grabbing each resource (For people who have ever tried to grab shimmering light, you'll know what I'm talking about). The drop right now is actually a function that puts them into bags but I might rewrite it to drop directly in the chests when the time comes as you suggested (Depending on which method is the best).

Why?

Because I hate having to look in bags to see if it is resources or masterpiece..

Yeah shimmering light is a pain, but it would just make it easier to see them faster...

Just a thought.

Or can the bag say "masterpiece resources"

Hmmm k. I personally think it would be more of a pain to drag around all the items inside the chest to find a resource underneath a stack of armor though.

Im all for the bag but is there any curtain reason that you spawn resources in the chests. Regs are really used for alchemy because no reason to work scribe since you have the skill tickets to get scribe. Maybe spawn something more useful such as actual ingots or something. Also maybe powder for the bag of sendings. Maybe this would intrude on that quest but for the people who actually search in chests maybe thats one way we can get these items instead of having to do the quest. I dont mean specifically ingots but something else besides regs.

Once it gets done I'll probably look at incrementing each wep to +x where x is the amount we increase new ones by.

But this system is a low priority thing as events and quests have taken priority, as well as fixing random bugs and issues all around.

just why would you want to stand next to a chest dragging stuff around longer then you have too? I mean personally, if you are picking a chest, and im in the same area, im going to have eyes in that chest as well as you as soon as you pick it, and i can guarantee you id be grabbing stuff. Bags are better. Gotta remember, just cus you cant see it, doesn't mean its not their.

Actually, because not many resources drop in the bags, can probably make an exception and have them spawn directly in the chests to test it all out.

no, leave the bags please. There is plenty to sift through in the chests already + no rare masterpiece resources will spawn in a chest anyway. so who cares if you gotta spend 3 more seconds opening up a bag. Besides some of the master piece resources are a pain to grab.

This is true. Shimmering Light is particularly nasty to try and grab. I'll make a choice when the chests get converted over to the new system.

Im totally for bags, my issue is that regs are basically a useless thing to keep on the chests since really the only thing worth getting the regs for is alchemy. No one really works scribe and regs are so cheap like other resources that perhaps getting rid if regs and adding something else. I understand your plate is full. Just an idea:)

Well the problem mostly lies in the fact that LRC is easy to get and the reg salesmen sell reagents by bulk. Tbh, 100% lrc should have never existed and should have had a max of around 80%. Although it's really helpful, it removes something that was once mandatory to the game. Only craft skills such as alchemy still rely on them.

You could incorporate mass amounts of reagents into specialty recipes. Like 1500 bloodmoss and 1000 black pearl into making the arcane circle. etc etc etc

Well I could if it made sense. Maybe for some recipes. Like making a war fork out of blood moss might not be the most logical thing
