Let us bundle our gear

imnotanother

I am talking about creating a system where players can group like gear in a "box" or "chest" and sell them, via guild trader, to other players.

The Pack Merchant could sell a "pack" for X amount of gold that allows you to create a single (1) box.
The merchant could sell certain boxes that allows the buyer to view the contents before purchase. The other type would be a surprise box that would be more of a gamble to the buyer to purchase.

The items would have to be in the same category. So for example: you could sell some Blessed Thistle with Cloud Mist or a Helm of Twice Born with a Bracer of Hundings Rage.
But you couldn't sell a Bervez Juice with a Foul Hide.

The boxes quality would be determined by the lowest quality item in the group.
So if you have 2 purple items and 1 white, it would be a white quality box.
1 gold and 1 purple would equal a purple box.

Players would still be able to list the box for whatever price they would like when listing in the store.

What do you think about this idea?

I would like this feature to be able to make full sets of armor and bundle them together for buyers, thus allowing more listings for myself and a potential ease of shopping for the buyer.

Personally, I would probably create some white quality boxes with gold quality items, just to give a good surprise to people and brighten up their guild trading experience.

Inventory management does needs a upgrade.

If we could at least create sub-categories or "folders" to manage our gear more efficientely would be a great improvement.

Not quite what I was talking about but it would be nice to be able to make a "Favorites" option to the gear that places it in a separate tab.

Yeah, I know. I was just digressing. But I did give you awesome!

I have thought that Gear Sets should be listable as a set, as long as it does not otherwise get around the 30 item limit (as in you could list 6 5-Item sets, but that is it).

The question does remain, does anyone buy complete crafted sets? I know the few times I made something in a crafted set and put it up for sale, the items went piece meal, which tells me people were buying it to research traits, not use as a set.

Most likely it is bought for research but then you'd be able to package "research bundles"

Sounds like a good idea we all can use

Somewhat unrelated but in an old MMO called Anarchy Online there was a common scam where players would sell empty containers. They would link an item to chat to prove that they actually had it, and maybe put one or two of the items in a set in the trading window along with the container. The other player would pay for a full item set but get almost nothing.

This was in the days of only player to player trading, no AH, no guild merchants etc.

It would be a nice addition. Adds a small gold sink, while giving guild traders more options.

I like this idea!

Would let me bundle my 5 piece Fiords Legacy set that I have been sitting on!

Currently no easy way to present these in a guild or otherwise!

Oh Funcom, is there anything you can't screw up in a hilarious and or egregious way?

I love this!! We should be able to add armor to the crafting bag that we plan on saving for research. I can't tell you how frustrating it is for me if I accidentally sell something I intended to keep for research only to have to buy it back. If I put it in my crafting bag, I won't pay attention to it until I'm at a crafting station

well, the fact that there is already crates or urns that we pick up, like the urn at the start of the game or the shipments from the thieves stashes, shows it is possible.

i'd like something like this as i often create starter gear for new characters or pick up set pieces that just sit in the inventory till i can use them, perhaps make the inventory-chests or urns craftable using existing resources.

there definitely needs to be a better way to organise our inventory and there is already in-game storage methods available, just not available for player use yet.

You can lock the item to prevent accidentally deconning or selling items.
