Hey guys, Prolexia here! Some of you know me from Alexina and you likely know that I've been around a long time. As I've seen this company and game grow throughout my time here, I think that it's important to give credit where credit is due. You guys have made some AMAZING strides over the past few years since I've left, and giving the game a chance once I've come back by the Server Merge has been quite fruitful and delightful. Getting to know all the changes that USED to be archaic, and revamping them to better suit how gaming itself has changed has been quite a treat to say to myself.

With that being said, I'd like to discuss an area for improvement that hasn't been touched on yet, Doll bags. As far as I've remembered since about 2013 when I first started playing, doll bags have been a useful part of the game and have helped pick up MILLIONS of gold for just myself at this point, probably in the hundreds of millions! But, as time has grown on, there has been a LOT of included and added updates to items that they can't pick up for you. With the most egregious of situations being the ancient Mari bags, which I think we've all given to new players as hand me downs when we get the newest/greatest Gacha ones over our years of playing.

With that being said, I think that the area for opportunity can go as follows:

1. Allow a menu to see what the doll can pick up, and toggle what that doll picks up while in summoning.
2. Allow an easier way to see what the dolls pick up while put up in the auction house without using the wiki!
3. Provide a small update to pick up all items for their respective needs. (e.x. Incubus King/Tani bags pick up Hillwen Ore Frags but not Soft HIllwen Ore Fragments??? Or Emerald Cores??? Seems like a small oversight)
4. Be able to put up bags on the auction house outside of their bag packs! Or at least be able to put them in regular shops like in Dunbarton, OR we could pay a gold fee to REPACKAGE them to sell them again. Drop trades for these bags of the past allow threat of scamming, and lets leave that in the past!


Let me know what you guys think, and do you guys want to see a change like this?

    Some long overdue features there, especially choosing what kind of items a bag can pick. I don't care about cheap/common leathers, let my doll gather fine/finest only. Same with more hillwen/shyllien items.

    Yes! Give us a checklist of things they pick up (have it categorized or even reuse the life update menu) and have us select/deselect what we want them to pick up! I think that's a great start.

    I just want the Detective Squirrel to NOT give me Acorns. Either that or I can stack them. Manually stacking them is a chore when my inventory is a mess.

    Don't mean to necro this thread, but with the new commerce update and the outpost item requirements, dollbags that can already pick up Hillwen/Shyllien needs to also automatically pick up Soft Hillwen and Stained Shylliens, and dollbags like Moonlight Ferghus needs to pick up materials like Fine Wool and Wheat Chaff alongside the normal mats that he already picks up. Making 5 Fused Hillwen Alloy is a nightmare already. You also need 1000 Wheat for Flour and.. I don't know if any doll bags pick up wheat.

    We need a doll bag or a pet that actively picks up all dropped loot regardless of what it is. The Samoyed kind of does, but it needs the update that the doll bags got, and get the same AoE loot effect.

    One of the Black Moon doll bags does food items I believe. And absolutely agree that soft hillwen and stained shyllien should be picked up by their respective bags. It's a nightmare trying to get enough.

    Yes. The soft hillwen needs to be added to the hillwen-collecting dolls. I also would like to leave on the option to collect fine and finest leathers, but leave other leathers and cobwebs alone until I say otherwise.

    But on top of all of this, I'd like to set a customizable priority tree. If there is a certain thing I'm collecting and I'm rushing through a shadow mission or dungeon, I'd like the dolls to pick up what I currently value most so I can leave the non-essentials behind and not have to pick up the good stuff myself or wait on the doll.

    Soft hillwen to hillwen dolls, stained shylien to shylien dolls, and for the love of god -- fine wools to wool dolls, fresh grass/flower to crafting mat dolls, please.

    If Nexon comes out with a doll that actually picks up ALL craftable items, that'd be when I open my wallet and do gachas.
