    Collapsible Research Kits?

    Any chance of seeing some collapsible spell/tome/hybrid/song research kits? Both the tinkerer and researcher in me agree its a good idea .

    Unlike most of the other collapsible containers, research kits already have 10 slots, so there is not as much need for something like this.

    I would *really* love to see this. The need is mainly for the fact of researching out in the wild. I like to keep an inventory slot open at all times if possible. And I also like to keep all my bags as weight reducing bags. So if, like just about every other TS, we could have a collapsible research container, it could be taken out when needed, then put away so to speak.

    There's really no reason not to have this. I mean, it's more believable to have a bag of paper, pencils that can be unrolled and such than it is a mobile distillery or sewing machine..

        'Researching out in the wild'... You mean you would just happen to have the correct inks/additives/solutions/etc to make spells out in the wild? I've got a whole mule dedicated to just holding the various vellums/papers/parchments/etc and also the research kit.

          It's not a question as to whether you'd carry every single ink and solution around with you, it's more that I could carry specific inks and/or solutions around and write on a piece of paper with them 'out in the wild'. It certainly makes as much if not more sense than carrying around a portable spit and needing baking supplies, or a portable brew barrel and needing brewing supplies. Heck, even if a player only carried around the ingredients needed for practicing with powders - that alone is reason enough to have a portable pen & scribing kit.

            It is equally unlikely that you would just happen to have the patterns/waters/etc to make cultural armor/augs "out in the wild" yet the collapsible toolboxes/sewing kits exist. So as an argument against a collapsible research kit, that is not a particularly strong one.

            For the record, I have been approached "out in the wild" to do a combine. "Dude I have been looking for you for days, can you make me a Velium Mastodon Cloak, I have all the parts." How nice is it to just whip out your collapsible and combine on the fly? That sounded un-necessarily dirty, yet I assure you it is not.

            Ditto, people have asked me to make spells in some far off zone, while having all ingredients, and I have had to decline since I did not have the kit on me.
