Invites and newbie questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
