Game Mechanics Inventory management improvements; pouches & teleportation scrolls

Going out, acquiring items and then trimming down your inventory at a hub (identifying, selling, stashing at the bank) and then going out into the world again is simply part of the gameplay loop of any MMORPG.

But this loop was significantly shortened ever since the Gavel update. Unless you wanna pass up on extra loot, you gotta hit a town very frequently. The world has changed around this; I was surprised to see that even the shroom-munching tree-huggers of Nivla village have a bank now. If they didn't, I'd have to keep running back to the Emerald Trail while questing in Nivla Woods. I remember questing and wandering for a good bit before I felt I had to return to a hub loaded with goods when I played old Wynncraft.

But there's no use reminiscing. Wynncraft is now so rich in features and has so many items that need to be balanced against Minecraft's limited inventory system. Two hotbar slots are used for essential features. Five inventory slots are used for jewelry and the ingredient pouch. The latter, together with the emerald pouch and stackable health potions, are good examples of features that help players with inventory management.

With that in mind, there are more item types that I think could be "pouchable". Like powders. Or dungeon items (keys and currencies).

And a simple, elegant solution to teleportation scrolls; a single all-purpose teleportation scroll. Locations can be added to it as you acquire/purchase them. Basically the same as now except you don't need a separate scroll item for every town you might want to visit. Activating the teleportation scroll would open a GUI with all possible locations, sorted by province. You could have a location of choice pre-selected or favourited to save time.

Thank you for reading.

 

While I don't really agree with the teleportation scroll idea since I like keeping the ones I need handy for time sensitive issues a powder pouch would be sick. Going to gbank during raiding just to stuff powders in my chest is always a hastle.

 

I miss old TP scrolls that were consumed on use...

I still got ~5-6 Tmpo Town Scrolls because I was on a level 30 account at the time and TT was a good transport hub at that level because from there you got a bank, and travel scrolls from Ragni to Almuj

 

Inventory is a mess but so many things with scrolls have been suggested to the point where it's either not happening or they're cooking something up.

It's never a problem to have too many if you have five classes

 

I think it makes sense to have a powder pouch. They could also add a profession pouch, for your grains, string, oil, meat, planks, paper, ingot, and gems. And maybe something for runes aswell

 

Powder pouch is such a lovely, no-brainer idea

 

I think maybe they could have tiered pouches for professions/powders similar to emerald pouches. Make them quite a bit more rare than emerald pouches in loot chests, maybe relegate them to only appearing in 3 or 4 star chests, with the corresponding tier to the level of the cave or challenge to arrive at the chest (again similar to emerald pouches).

A tier 1 profession pouch may appear like the tier 1 emerald pouch but have a blue sash instead of green and a small hammer or other tool symbol on it to show what it is at a glance. Similarly, the powder pouch could have a red sash and a picture of powder in a cone (look up Moroccan spice market for reference image).



ALTERNATIVELY, just let us stack profession drops in our ingredient pouch and have a little box we could earn from raids or lootruns to keep our powders in.

 

I think Deusphage said that they didn't want the player to be like a walking bank who could store everything in their innumerable pockets once
