Invites and newbie questions

[ninetydegrees]

I've got three invites. If you or someone you know is interested PM me. No strings attached.

Newbie questions: I'm collecting all sorts of stuff I can't really use yet because I don't have the proper equipment or the right skill yet and am quickly running out of space in my inventory (or whatever it's called). I've stored some items in my house but still. Is it worth buying the bigger, more expensive 15-item bags or are the cheaper bags better in the long term? Also can you sell your bags? It doesn't seem so.

I personally think it's worth it to have the bigger bags. You can't sell your bags, but you can give them away or use them for storage inside your house (for example, fill a bag with goods and then drop it on the floor).

All items are generally things you can get again, so you can consider donating stuff to a shrine or selling it at auction if you don't want to hang onto it for the time it takes to get a new skill.

Thank you, Sasha. That was quick and very useful. One more question if I may: what is a 'worthy' donation to a shrine? I'm a bit puzzled by the data displayed in the window: I see my current favor in a progress I think and a multiplier (?) in green on the side. Is the latter the important number? If so what is the minimum it should be ideally?

[sasha_feather]

An item's "worth" to a shrine is generally its economic value. There isn't a minimum. The green sliding bar is how close you are to earning an emblem.

Reasons to donate are:
earn mood points (get your mood up)
earn imagination points
work toward an emblem
earn favor points that you can spend to increase speed on learning a skill, if you want (spending will zero out the green bar).

You may occasionally find that donating something causes the shrine to say "feh" and give you no points, which means you donated something that has little to no economic value, like one cherry, for example. But it's fun to try donating different things and see what happens.

Using Fairly or Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder will increase the value of your donation.

That was very helpful, thank you. I tried different things today to see what was best.

Haven't seen/gotten/made (?) that powder yet but I'll keep that in mind.

They just changed the data display in the last couple of days. Obviously the slider bar is pink, not green!

If you would like to add me in game, my user name in Glitch is the same as here.

I'd love to. I've just added you. I'm the little Apolline.

Adding to the previous comment: shrine powders increase the value of a SINGLE donation, so are best used just before large value donations of a single kind of object eg 3 identical music boxes, a large pile of meat etc.

[ninetydegrees]

Haven't gotten to the point where I know what shrine powders are but I'll remember this, thank you.

I have filled my inventory with large bags (as well as tool boxes etc) and pretty much never use the small ones any more. Definitely worth it.

[ninetydegrees]

Thanks for the advice! I finally managed to collect enough c to buy one. Now I need a tool box... ;)

I'm with everyone else here, I have pretty much every slot filled with the bigger bags. (I also have a spice rack and element bag too.) It makes it a lot easier to collect things through a game day.

What I like doing with my old smaller bags is leaving them on a random street in Ur for someone to discover and maybe use.

I'm also seconding the 'donating spare stuff to shrines'. Especially when it's resources that you get img for when you collect them. Like piggy meat. Shrine donations are handy because once you hit a certain point, you get an emblem - and your first emblems will unlock further skills - and those can also be used to speed up learning time.

Thank you for the advice. I got a bigger bag and starting making more donations and it helps a lot!
