Suggestion: Reduce the weight of quills
« on: September 24, 2021, 11:40:00 PM »
This is a pretty straightforward suggestion. Right now, quills weigh 0.5 pounds - about the same as a sneaker. That would be pretty cumbersome to write with, and according to my (admittedly limited) research, a quill on average weighs around 4-5 grams, or 0.01-0.02 pounds.

I know this is such a minor change, but could we get quills to weigh either 0.1 or 0.0 pounds? :)

Is Jacque's inventory that stressed man?

Also +1, it makes sense and does no harm.

I would like to see this change implemented but as a tradeoff i would suggest making it so ink is actually required to write anything.

Logic as it would be about the ink, that's just a game mechanic that doesn't add much to the server. It's good enough that paper is required. Reducing quill weights will be considered.

This has been suggested before and I still support it. There's even a feather of Ma'at I think? Which has a description of weightless and is definitely not.

I really don't think it's necessary to add ink being required as that is extra development time and really unnecessary...
