Happy Tuesday!

This week, Paklin has found a solution to a long existing problem folks have; he's found an answer to the age old question -- "Where is all this burden coming from?" MAMAS shops throughout the lands have been updated to assist adventurers in their quest to reveal the mystery! There are two new weighing additions at these locations:

  1. You can now ASK {CLERK} ABOUT WEIGHT to get a short (25 items) list of your heaviest items, sorted from heaviest to least heavy. If you have armor or big weapons stashed somewhere that you forgot about, this can be useful to find those types of items!
  2. Alternatively, you can ASK {CLERK} ABOUT TOTAL for a full list of your inventory, sorted from lightest items to heaviest items. This is more useful if you have something like an untied gem pouch/bundle somewhere that you forgot about with lots of little stuff you may not want to be carrying around that can add up to extra burden.

The fee for either of these is pricey compared to their basic single-item weighing. It mirrors the skill-based fee that rent-a-forges use, but is instead based on your appraisal skill. It also comes with citizenship, Platinum and Premium discounts like rent-a-forges. Neither of these reveals the weight of the item, just the respective order items should be listed in. There is an RT associated, because there's a lot happening for a single command -- gathering a list of items, sorting, and then printing out potentially hundreds of items!

Oh by the way! Fang Cove and Theren now have MAMAS locations, as well! We'll let you guys find them!

Big cheers to Paklin for all of this! We kept seeing the issue come up on player Discord (in the past couple weeks while he was working on it, even!), and we've had assists from players in game for years as well. Hopefully these new options will help you track things down when you just can't solve the mystery with the obvious things!
