Lockmastery Keyrings 09/10/2011 03:43 PM CDT

Idea for an improvement.

You carefully examine the slim mithril keyring and determine that the weight is about 9 pounds.

Could keyrings be improved so that when used they reduce the weight of the lockpicks on them (like warrior sheaths reduce weight on weapons in them)? For many i'm sure this isn't an issue but I like having a lot of neat picks but it becomes cumbersome...can you imagine a rogue who is encumbered by the lockpicks of his craft?

Yes please! Lockpick weight adds up extremely quickly.

Just echoing for some improvement here. I think my toolkit weighs in at something like 15 lbs.

The problem is really how low-weight items stack, right? Is it possible for lockpicks to have their weight set to one coin (like sonic armor)? Would this fix the problem?

Good idea. Keyrings now reduce the weight of most lockpicks and keys by 50% or 1 pound, whichever is less.

Thanks!

And a side question - did you put the 'or 1 pound thing' just in case, or did you actually spot some lockpicks that weigh >2 lbs?

Although, in response to myself 10 seconds after I posted, I did just remember that there are things that aren't 'lockpicks' but function as them and can be put on a keyring, like those hatpins and stuff. Still not very big I can see how something might be over 2 pounds now.

It is a matter of covering edge cases. I don't know if there's a 20 pound lockpick lurking somewhere out there, though it is a funny thought.

Functionally, something like that hatpin is just an altered lockpick. Keyrings only take lockpicks and keys, but they don't necessarily have to be named "lockpick" or "key" explicitly.

Oh...just wondering...does this mean one pound lockpicks CAN weigh .5 lbs (50%) on a keyring?

My keyring weighs 5lbs now, down from 9lbs, so I guess i've already answered my question...

They're out there. They're called massive glaes clubs :)

Kudos to Finros for the snappy responses and updates.

As a rogue I like knowing we're in helpful hands.

Second that. I'm slowly discovering Finros ownage everywhere I go.

Is it possible for LM keyrings to get updated to be proper containers?

When an inventory window pops up, it's empty. Apparently, this is because of them not having a container tag in the stream. Game window-wise if you look IN the keyring, there's nothing. If you look ON it you see the lockpicks, but you can put lockpicks both IN and ON them. Just figured that if there's any chance of this being fixed, it's right after someone has just recently looked at them.

Also... I lost 5 pounds overnight with the new Finros LM keyring weight loss system!

I'll put it on my list of things to look into at some point.

I take comfort in knowing that the bottom of your list at some point may reach the top.

Appreciated!

Care to share what is presently on your list?

It's a long list that I have no real chance of completing in the next few years, even assuming that nothing else were added to it. There's no absolute priority because things shift around as circumstances change, and smaller projects are always easier to get to at any point. But no, I don't plan on itemizing it here.

The hiding changes were very well received thus far from the comments I have heard in game and out. Very good work there.
