Where do you keep 8 backpacks invisible on your person, which are all loaded with 10 Breastplates?

I'd rather not say ... It's ... um ... personal.

Spiderling Silk - Drop rate

Given the number of drops added to spiderlings for newbie quests, the effective drop rate of spiderling silk has decreased hugely over the last year or so. Could the drop rate be increased? "Qute" of question asked at the Fan Fare
---------

I have hunted for Spiderling silks for use in tradeskills, for over 2 years, and can
attest to the fact that, the drop rate of Spiderling Silks has greatly decreased.
I hunt for the silks in many diff zones and the decrease of silk drops is easy
to notice, if you've hunted for the silks for any length of time.
Today, I and my Pard, hunted 3 different zones for the silks, killing over one
hundred spiders that could conceivably drop multiple silks each time they died.
We got 8 spiderling silks, a lot of newbie armor quest pieces and saw a lot of spiders that didnt have anything on them. yes, I'd day the silk drop rate
needs another look, upwards adjustment.

Black Marble Mortar and Pestle

The unfired ones are not yet containers and thus can be sold in the Bazaar in that form.

The firing trivial is a whopping *17*... which if you do not even have that low of a pottery skill, anybody can obtain in 5 minutes or less (or under 30 seconds if you have the guildmaster skill points to spend).

While it's hard to get non-tradeskillers to think of doing something like firing their own product, it at least is a temporary way to sell the M&Ps.

Ohhhh another thought.

I've submitted the idea in the past but the Blackburrow Brewbarrel has been in the game forever. It's a brewbarrel.... it's portable... it's already got a combine button on it. Think that bad boy needs to become a mobile still!

Only if they increase the drop rate a bit. The blasted things are too rare already.

Anyone care to guess?

One non-tradeskill example Tanker mentioned is Feign Death, which has a difficulty of 28 (this is from memory, so I could have the number off by a bit).  He also told us that one skill has a difficulty of over 50, but he didn't name it.

Anyone want to guess what this skill is? I'm guessing FISHING myself

Begging might be a good candidate...

I finally hit 151 begging and I still have never gotten a success... All failures doesn't help the skill up formulae much either.

I have a rogue and a while ago I added a begging attempt to his evade hotkey. I use that hotkey every time the skill "ungreys" during battle, and his begging skill did go up. It went up fairly quickly at first but now it's been stuck at 193 for about a week despite hundreds of attempts and so far as I am aware he's never begged successfully. Skillups in begging are really hard to get at that level.

Frankly, I'm not at all sure why they even have that skill in the game. It seems perfectly useless. I'm only trying to max out the begging skill because it's a long term goal of mine to max out all of his skills.

One bag I would like to see a token for is:
Blackburrow Cask (drops of Gnoll Master Brewer in blackburrow)

I know it is used in some quests...would make selling it a LOT easier.

Thanks
