Summary	0004994: "Sell" spells, scrolls, consumables, craftables, etc.
Description	Apologies if this already has an issue kicking about somewhere but I thought it worth dropping in since I know there's been some justified resistance to this idea from the development team. That said, I'm wondering if there's any scope for adding a new doodad at the settlement which lets me trade in my old junk - I have several thousand emit light scrolls I'll never use, for example - for an absolute pittance of coloured shards. I figure, since we can now farm shards ANYWAY from killing mob after mob of trash monsters - but the argument runs that the value of the shards garnered in this fashion versus their intended utility, etc., etc. means that it's a silly idea to do so - then I see no reason why expending a similar amount of time and effort and winding up, in the natural course of things, with loads of X that you don't intend to use... couldn't also allow you (through some mechanism) to trade those Xs for a pretty measly stack of shards.

Internal Weight	Major Problem

leb0fh Oct 24, 2011 1:14 pm reporter ~0017058	There needs to be some way of getting rid of the junk/too low level stuff easily - my settlements are getting littered with spells made purely to let my higher level jems/dusts show on screen to craft [i]useful[/i] bit with.

Or even un-needed things to allow customization of our character on a superficial basis, i.e. different clothes, hats, cloaks, capes, titles, dyes, wings, halo, etc.

I'm thinking I could take 40 mana scrolls at tier 1, and transform them into 4 mana scrolls at tier 2. I have way more low level items cluttering up my settlements then I want but I don't want a currency system since we already have shards, so I think some way to upgrade old worthless stuff should be in the game (it'd make me more willing to collect all that old stuff too!)

allison Oct 26, 2011 6:23 am reporter ~0017137	Strongly agree that obsolete items should have some use... even just crafting into decorations would be fine. It's a bit sad throwing away all that hard-earned old stuff in some random area ;_;

tigersfan Jan 27, 2012 3:41 pm reporter ~0018271	I don't think this is an issue anymore. You can drop old stuff on the ground at the settlement if you want to keep it, but most stuff you can't take with you to the new continent anyway, so there won't be that much build up.
