Ok, lets put a few things into perspective first.

1) Nothing, in game nor in RL is going to hold as much as a backpack (this refers to schoolbags, packs, satchels etc..) So we are not going to allow you to strap a bookbag to your back (when we all know that it is a shoulder worn container and doesn't have a large capacity) and have it hold 200 pounds. That isn't feasible or realistic.

2) Bodybags are provided by a specific merchant, hence why the general populace is unable to make them.

3) As for the exceptional craftsmanship wording, I find it hard to understand your wanting to remove it, since it is what allows you to create larger containers in the first place. It takes time,skill, and most of the time blood for those to be retrieved from critters. Now, if it becomes such an irksome perk, that is having the wording exceptional craftsmanship in the name, I am sure we can just remove the ability all together. Which means reverting back to the former max capacity.

One thing to bear in mind:

Haversack - shoulder-worn
Backpack - back-worn
Bodybag - shoulders-worn

That's a net total of 5 possible container slots; if (to lowball a capacity) 150-pound variations thereof were floating around, that's 750-pounds of potential carrying space on a single character, not accounting for any other containers.

I have to agree....but only because I like short tap discriptions.

This might sound silly, but I was gone for a time so do forgive me. What is this Exceptional quality thing? Does it happen naturally or do we have to harvest blood to make them? I ask because Valla mentioned blood and honestly I am a little befuddled.

Edit: Alright, so maybe I should have read news 50 before posting. <smirks> Is it safe to assume that the very large backpacks cannot be made with fabrics then? If not then would it be possible to introduce a random exceptional woven fabric so that we don't have to have pelt backpacks to have big backpacks?

When you skin something you have a chance to get an "exceptional" skin. Use all exceptional skins in a tailoring process, and you get an exceptional item. For containers, that means more capacity.

Thank you Trevor, that was what I gathered from reading news 50. Should have read it before posting, but confirmation is always appreciated by me.

It's fun to hide in your own 151-pound backpack.
