i carry 36 slot boxes, ~4 of them are full with poisons, potions, backup raid gear, status items, random clickies, etc etc

1 full box is just poisons!

this has been a complaint for scouts for awhile, can we please implement this? i'd also LOVE to be able, as an alchemist, to combine 5 poison vials into a single 500 trigger vial. i'll even blow some fuels on the combine. this doesnt make me any better on raids, it just means i dont have to watch and recast poisons every 8 minutes. with all the +procchance buffs now they can really go quick. please please please?

edit: if you dont want to put in all the recipes (and thus double the number of pristine discos for alchemists) then just have the alchemist npc in each city (including haven!) accept the vials + a small fee to combine them. please? PLEASE?

We're looking into both of these ideas (bigger stack sizes and ability to create more charges per vial). I can't give any definite answers on what/when anything will be implemented, but it's on our radar (and consequently scrawled onto my little white notepad here, where it will be lost among pages and pages of other crap that I jot down, only to be rediscovered some weeks later, with much the same joy that I imagine an archaeologist feels when unearthing the remnants of some ancient civilization bearing mathematical equations predating the technical level of other cultures found in that era ;)).

Any plans for potion bags? I realise the bigger stacks would aleviate the problem somewhat, but a potions bag would eliminate the problem altogether.

As for the bank FTW comment, how many stacks of the same poison would you go through on a raid? (I don't know, never raided with a non-bard scout)

Depending on the raid, a run through EH will require around 10ish poisons of each type, and you will burn a few switching them around if you get thrown into a group without regen and your chain pulling.

Also, Tender poisons hit for more than Expert Caustic and have more charges per vial. Not the best solution, but eh... =)

i already carry around 36 slot boxes... and i have to carry a pouch for ammo. unless they made it like 80 slots, a "potion bag" wouldnt be worth using in one of my 6 primary inventory slots. (although, to be fair, give the tailors the ability to make a mastercrafted potion bag w/ 80 slots and i'd probably buy it)

really the end state goal here is to just not use as many inventory slots, and also have more triggers per vial so we dont have to friggin watch the buff window so much to recast them. atm, i'm a bigger fan of more charges per vial than i am of inventory stacking. both are pretty easy fixes.

I think there was a post somewhere that portable containers are capped at 36 slots and thats why there isnt a mastercrafted box for T8. I assume it has something to do with the mouseover tool tip feature.

It'd be kinda cool to add a new inventory slot and allow it to accomidate items like the harvester bags that will only allow you to put crafting rares/raws into it. You could have a potion/poison bag, harvesting bag, backup quiver, portable crafting bag (allow it to hold raws + fuels + portable crafting stations) or any other number of custom clutter causing bags. The possibilities for bag types is fairly large and could be a very worthwile addition to several different crafting types (tailor, tinkerer, woodworker) not to mention the possibility for increased sales to those people who craft the items that go into these new containers. Lord knows, all my toons carry around at least 1 strongbox filled with nothing but potions/poisons/utility items that I would love to put elsewhere.
