If you want a weight reducing bag, buy a tailored large bag from an aspiring tailor, they reduce weight 10% also. When I was still making them, I was auctioning them for 5pp and still couldn't sell them easily. Or find a low quality bear skin, and 6 spiderling silks, and most tailors will combine for you for a very low fee. This bag above has value only as a quest item.
Could someone tell me what drops this bag. Is it a random drop off any of the shamans in the warrens? I know there is a named shaman near the king. But not sure if he drops it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I looted mine in the Warrens from a shaman in the room right next to the King room. I was attacked by the greens and I'm still using the bag because on my server weight reduction bags aren't so easy to get.
Well, it's not dropped in the warrens, it's dropped in the new area Stonebrunt Mountains. There it is random off any shaman, I got 2 from like 4 kills or whatever so not uncommon or anything.
Actually, it drops both in the Warrens and in Stonebrunt off of random Kobolds, not just Shamans. I've spent several levels hunting in the area and I've seen a ton of them.
Yes it works - put 6 heavy onjects in it and you weigh less. One thing I noticed with my evil eye bag is that it dors not do stacks correctly. If I put in a stack of rations at like 14 stone I dont get the full reduction like only the amount for the first item in a stack. I wonder if this is true with summoned weight 0% bags?
Ummm.... stackable items only weigh the weight of 1 regardless of how many are in the stack, so why would you expect go get more weight reduction on a full stack than on a single item?
I tried combined 2 milks in it just to see if the bag would destory them and it gave a message to the effect of, "You do not have Alchemy skill." The milks stayed too so this is ok for carrying stuff around in. You don't have to worry about hitting the combined button...unless you have Alchemy then I don't know what will happen. I got mine off a Greater Shaman FYI (Big Suprise).
Even if you are NOT a Shaman, you can still use the normal medicine bag. I've done it with my druid for making dyes just to see if it would work. It tells you "This item is trivial for you to make" because you can't increase your skill at all (because you don't have the skill) but you can still combine them successfully.
Now, I had a terrible success rate for making the dyes this way, about 40% so I waited until a Rogue friend of mine showed up to do it with his poison skill.
Now, I'm not saying they didn't make a new kind of container that can only be used by Shamans because they've already done that with races with the Racial Tailoring sewing kits that can only be used by Wood Elves and Halflings respectively.
That's what this probably is. A bag that can only be combined if you are a shaman class character. They probably just decided to make the fail message a little more ambiguous.
they changed the plain old medicine bag a little while back so only those with alchemy skill could use it. They did it because people without alchemy skill were making their own potions whereas they shouldn't have been able to. Really, try to combine some dye materials, doesn't work.
then does it still have a weight reduction component? if it does i wanna get one, seems to be onlny thing of anyworth to a ranger in this dungeon (low str and all)
