We've made you is a very nifty container!

It's generally worn, it's the size of a fully embiggened hitman's backpack. Like the linked containers we occasionally sell at auction, the items inside this container magically teleport through a "watery portal" and are stored in the Merelew vaults. These aren't linked to any other bags, but the mechanics are similar. They'll hold up to 200 items (for now, we may adjust this number).


G>tap my eddy
You tap a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame that you are holding.

G>look my eddy
A small pocket is barely visible within the circular movement of light.

G>l in my eddy
The interior of the swirling eddy seems to funnel downward where it attaches to a watery portal. You suspect you'll have to look into the watery portal to view or get any belongings.
(LOOK IN PORTAL -or LOOK IN WATERY PORTAL)

G>l in port
[Assuming you mean a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame.]
There is nothing in there.

G>app my eddy
The swirling eddy is pocketed, and can be opened and closed.
The swirling eddy is fairly malleable.
It appears that the swirling eddy can be worn.
You are certain that the swirling eddy weighs exactly 10 stones.
You are certain that the swirling eddy is worth exactly 3125000 Kronars, 2500000 Lirums, or 2255000 Dokoras.

G>rem my eddy
You take off a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame.

G>focus my eddy
You focus your magical senses on a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame.
The swirling eddy has a definite magical pattern, which apparently is an enchanted item.
You recognize the pattern as a manifestation of Lunar magic.
It seems to involve Transduction and appears to allow displacement.

Essentially, we're increasing your carry capacity by 200 items, and forgiving the weight of those items by storing it off your character and giving you a portal to access it. This gift works the same way for both subscribers and F2P attendees, and will bond to the character on pickup.

Is the eddy compatible with STOW? How does it interact with things like item hiders since this is a new noun?

Any ETA on when the decision about the final capacity will be? Whether I buy a ticket (or tickets) to the fest is completely dependent on the gift quality (every year) since I don't care about shopping for more vault filling stuff or grinding games.

Thank you!

Seems to work? I can't speak on hiders, I'm not familiar with those.

>Any ETA on when the decision about the final capacity will be?

There are no plans to shrink their capacity. We are monitoring them and the resources they're consuming with a possibility of increasing their size down the line -- likely not during HE, but after as folks settle in and start using them and we have a better idea of "normal" load.

Are the eddies supposed to have a weight limit?

Surprising that a portable vault has both dimensions and weight capacity.

>measure my eddy
You are certain that the eddy's interior length measures eighteen spans, are certain that the eddy's interior width measures thirteen spans and are certain that the eddy's interior height measures nine spans.
You are certain that the eddy's interior carrying capacity is about one thousand seven hundred stones.

Not really, as allowing someone to store 200 items with the dimensions of an embiggened hitman's back without it counting towards your item limit or burden is already something that was previously auction-only.
