Why does Milgrym's Weapons sell so many weapons that don't fit in Crossing-sold containers? 10/13/2017 05:49 PM CDT
The following weapons sold at Milgrym's don't fit in any container sold in Zoluren (AFAIK):
- stalwart ironwood quarterstaff
- steel-banded deobar cane
- ash-handled pike
- narrow-headed spear

This seems really newbie-unfriendly: "Nice spear you just bought; enjoy carrying it around forever!"

There's also nowhere (AFAIK) in Zoluren to buy a weapon strap, which means newbies who want to use Staff/Pike/HT get to make a trip to Illithi before they can store their freshly-bought weapon.

Can we add weapon straps to the stock at Berolt's?

You're in luck! Berolt already sells weapon straps, they just aren't in the front room with the rest of his merchandise. You can find them in the storage room reached via the doorway in the showroom.

Oh wow... how long has that been true?

I'll see if I can figure out how to update Elanthipedia so this shows up in a search for "weapon strap"; right now there aren't any hits in Zoluren for it.

Since August 2015.

How are you searching?

When I search for weapon strap, leather weapon strap (2), the one in Crossing is the first search result: https://elanthipedia.play.net/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=Search&search=weapon+strap&ns0=1&ns110=1&ns111=1&ns112=1&ns113=1&ns114=1&ns115=1&ns116=1&ns117=1&ns118=1&ns119=1&ns120=1&ns121=1&profile=advanced

It's also listed here (ignore the rare tag): https://elanthipedia.play.net/Weapon_strap

And if you search for noun=strap, you'll find it here as well: https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Special:RunQuery/ItemQuery

Going to say since 8/12/2015, ha! Fairly recent update.

Anyway, I was curious, so I went ahead and had my baby cleric with 0 Outfitting make a strap. Granted, investment for tailoring book, store-bought tools, and jute fibers was like 3 gold kronar, so more than just buying one from Berolt's, but was able to make a functioning (marred burlap weapon strap) strap. And learned 3-4 ranks of Outfitting.

I often use leftover leather/cloth scrap for straps which I dump onto donation shelves. So for other people reading in a similar situation, doesn't hurt to rummage those or even hang out in the Outfitting guild and offer someone a few coins to make one.

Yeah, this is where I was looking. It's listed there now because I updated Elanthipedia to list it; the issue was that the "Leather Weapon Strap (2)" item was missing the "itype = weapon strap" attribute.
