additions to key inventory

[Avanthar]

I have a list of suggested articles that could hopefully be added to key storage.

Diseased Bark
Captured Essence
Bees Wax
Coffee
Melisande's Hair Dye
Pet Rez potions

I know there are drops from Paroxymous and I assume Dread Horn and Travestry (Help Merch...) that could be included as well...I just haven't gathered them yet.

Also I wonder if the creation of new key for elixers

If anyone has any other ideas please please please add them to this list...

of course I have no idea the scripting issues or time investment of such things...besides being a selfish request to help clean up and organize my variety of full chests it would help reduce shard item count....

Thanks

I understand where Avanthar is coming from on the subject. For the most part..... the peerless items we get are useless. As in they have no purpose in the game..... yet. But those of us that hunt them are very reluctant to simply pass on collecting our spoils because of the effort and death it takes to gain those objects. So few of us do the peerless it would not be the top of the list to get into keys for me. Given we have limited staff... and they give us everything they got... we all appreciate it. I would rather see the events and games continue over working keys for those items.

On a lot of the other stuff you mentioned. When staff had time for the bees wax, coffee, pet rez pots i could see those being logical items to add to the reg keys and ranger keys.

I personally do think an elixer key would be very helpful. Keeping that stuff organized is a headache.

And as Avanthar said... any bulk item... especially the non stackable... that we can add to keys... be it new keys or added to existing... to keep the item count down is in every ones best interest.

My thoughts i guess.. Great idea. 100% behind it. Would like to see staff work or do events over those if there is a "this or that" time restraint.

While there is always a "this or that" time restraint, adding some of these to keys should not be too time intensive and we will work on getting some of them added at the earliest opportunity.

bumping up to re open the discussion...

I very much enjoy the key system as it simplifies my weight management (which always seems to be a problem) and keep my materials/bandaids blessed and at hand which = less down time in game. I'm a proponent of all items falling into one key or another as my least favorite aspect of UO has always been inventory/bank/house lockdown organizing. I do agree with Merch though that priority-wise I would see key item additions above what we have already as a low priority change compared to widespread events or even an end game melee oriented gear set, but still a great to have.

As of 2 March 2013, the following have been added:

Diseased Bark --> wood key
Captured Essence --> reagent key
Bees Wax --> reagent key
Coffee --> grocery key, 3 flavors, along with 3 flavors of tea
Melisande's Hair Dye --> potion key, along with hair dye and special hair dye
Pet Rez potions --> ranger/tamer key

Still working on elixir key [and have a working prototype].
