Not directly tied to the conversation, but... I generally enjoy tradeskills in this game. I looked it up real quick just to see, but it doesnt look like trades changed all that much since I last played the game in any time intensive capacity. I'd love it if they just let some autist go wild in, not necessarily an overhaul, but just expanding out the list of shit you can make. Its power levels. Reconsidering any overlap with spells. etc.

I absolutely hated that the thorn potions didnt stack with druid thorns or fire mage shield. I understand why... cause I dont exactly think SoW pots should stack with SoW for obvious reasons. But I would like to see that shit have some kind of bonus when used with the spell. Little "quirks" or "combos" like the mage has with spells for example, used with potions? It would send my 'tism into overload. "If I use the thorn potion with the mage fire shield, then not only does it damage the attacker on hit, but causes them to ######!" Like add a bleed, or burn dot to it or something. Use a SoW potion with a SoW spell on and it upgrades SoW to have a weak levitation effect. Reverse that for levitation and levitation potion, where it gives you a weak speed buff.

Just nerdy shit like that does it for me, personally.

One thing I really don’t like though is that some of the way tradeskills have been implemented have created weird incentives for high levels to farm lowbie dungeons.

Like in EQ there really wasn’t jack shit reason for a high level to go slaughter Blackburrow or Crushbone. If you wanted to skill up tailoring you just went and killed crag spiders in EK which were more or less just best for that purpose, but in MnM it seems like the best thing to do is to slaughter skeletons in the newbie dungeon to farm cloth or tattered armor to break down into tailoring mats. Similar issue with disenchanting where killing low level named mobs for DE mats is incentivized, not to mention it removes lowbie drops from the economy.

Largest I’ve seen is 10slot player made bags advertised for like 10 silver

if you’re brand new I think you can get a 6 slot from the shady gnome guy if you hail him to start a quest, otherwise buy a 6 slot pouch for like 50copper to save up more newbie yard trash drops

There are 16 slotter backpacks I'm pretty sure. I know 12 slotters exist. You can get satchels and pouches from teh bag vendors near the West Bank or Night Market.

What are the largest bag sizes currently in the game? Backpack, pouch, or otherwise? And any tradeskill primers I can read or watch?

From memory of doing all the available trades on the public test: You get 1 backpack slot that starts off at 10 slots, 3 bag slots that start at 8 slots, and 3 pouch/belt slots that start at 6 slots (1 pouch slot is usually used for a spell book). I think tier 1 and the largest vendor bought bags are the same size. For every tier after the first, you add 1 slot to each. Bags generally use the most mats per combine.

While they made Blacksmithing only have 5 tiers, I think there were still 6 tiers of leather/cloth, last I played. It was very difficult to get either tradeskill that high on the public test, since no one was really selling tier 4+ mats and the vast majority of the server was under 40. They may have recently changed the tradeskills to where leatherworking makes backpacks and tailoring makes pouches, instead of them both sharing all bags.

Lizardmen have been teased, and I'm sure theyll have at least infravision or similar. But my problem with the races in general, and it may be the art style - but none of them look like "greek gods" if you follow what Im saying. Theyre anorexic looking, or look like your average dude on the street, or outright monsters of huge proportions. Iksar still looked a little lanky, but they gave off a "Im fit and can bench 405" kind of look.

Deep Elves are anorexic, Humans are hobos on the street and Ogres .. just dont fit what I would consider the "vision" of a monk. Play what you want, but again, not a single race gives off an athletic appeal that I would consider is appropriate for a Monk.

I really hope they add flying kick just to see a big ass Ogre come flying in off screen. It will be amazing.

Yeah maybe it will be better when the lore is actually “fleshed out” but some of their class/race combos really give off “subvert expectations” vibes with Ogre Monk being one of the standouts

Agree with the anorexic vibe for the elf race(s) too

At least MnM Ogres don’t look like EQ Ogres, supposedly some fearsome beast warlord race that just looks like my 600lb life victim of the obesity epidemic lmao
