Hallelujah for the new update!Follow

Even if they hadn't done anything else, I would be happy that they finally allow you to turn in stacks of items! For me one of the worst grinding aspects was painstakingly turning in a stack of twenty items one at a time.

Also, fixing the issue where buyers in the bazaar would still be advertising their buy lines even though their inventory was full and can't buy anything is another nice fix.

I tried turning 20 items doing one of the Crescent Reach tradeskill quests this morning. It didn't work like I expected, but it was still an improvement.

I put a stack of 20 in the first "give" slot. It took 10 and returned the rest to me. But it didn't dump them in my inventory, it kept them on the cursor.

So I clicked the mob again. This time he took 5 and gave 5 back. The next time it took 3 and gave 2 back. And so on. It seemed to divide by two each time. It's still a bit more involved than I would like, but it beats the heck out of doing it one at a time.

I haven't tried doing two stacks at once. That could be interesting.

That's still reasonable, if that was the plan. I was thinking of using it on some of the many bone chips quests for faction, as doing 8000+ bone chips one at a time would take forever. If you can do 400 chips at once and it take 200, that would be a huge time (and hand cramp) saver. Last time I remember doing one was in FoBone for Cabilis faction, and 2000 chips took over an hour due to having to stop for the one KoS roaming guard.

EDIT: Tested it out: So far, 2K bat wings in S Felwithe got me from dubious to indifferent in a few seconds. 3K bone chips in N. Felwithe got me from scowls to apprehensive. 3K bone chips in Field of Bone did nothing to faction, still indifferent to the quest NPC and scowls to the Crusader (SK). I think that quest is broken, as I've been the same faction levels for over 6K bone chips and should of maxed on some of the other factions, not just the cabilis legion.

NPCs seem to take all 4 stacks if you give all 4 slots full stacks.

Don't want to burst your bubble but bat wings are sold in pok. So your bazaar trader will only be preying on the unsuspecting or the desperate.
On the other hand I sell pods of water.....

Don't wanna be a spoilsport but what's the point of returning half of every stack?? Seems like just making things harder for no good reason...

Yep, it was a bug. They reportedly fixed it with the latest update, though I have yet to verify this.
