[QUOTE="Jedi_Solo, post: 3222373, member: 40245"] If it's useful to some then it isn't really wasted space. You may never need that line but that doesn't mean some (maybe most, maybe very few) will need it. I fully agree that if they removed one or two lines, over the space of 1000+ items a lot of space will be saved allowing us to supposedly get more items. I say "supposedly" because we can't be sure what the space would be replaced. I'm assuming more items but I could be wrong. However, I am willing to give them more lines if that means that it'll save me time next summer when I blank on what slot a particular item uses or if Item Type X uses the same slot as Item Type Y from three pages back. This will especially be useful for items that don't require a slot or items that need to be held. Just as an example - do you need to hold a Pearl of Power for it be used? As far as the book says you don't, but does that mean that it just works from the bottom corner of your backpack? I'm assuming yes but just using an example I've been asked before. The slot listing seems to be able to answer that question (since the bow is listed as not using a slot but needing to be held). I'm glad to see that it will seem to appear for every item because if it didn't appear I know that would be the one item my brain will blank out on one day next year. After all, I know I will NEVER use all of the items in that book. There are waaaaay too many items already for me to ever use - so I won't be sad to lose out on a few of them. I may have found those items to have been really, really cool - but I'll never know those are the items I missed out on so I will never really care. [/QUOTE]
