Renaming
Yes, months ago I came up with, and advocated for this name. Back then, chapter 2 skill descriptions and the new website were not available yet, so we were lacking vocabulary.

Because of the Ashes Spells, I believe the proper verb is Hold instead of Carry, and we need to redefine Item as well. Since this particular thing has no common player term for it, I advocate to use the vocabulary from the new website, "Bundle Item". Thoughts? -PanSola 07:39, 24 February 2006 (CST)

Bundle Items ''Bundle items are special objects in the game world that don't fit into your backpack or bag—your character must carry them in both hands, preventing you from using melee attack skills until the bundle item is set down. Bundle items are always associated with quest or mission objectives, and represent items that you must personally deliver somewhere else. Using instant map travel while carrying a bundle item will only rob you of the bundle item in question. Some special bundle items give you a magical bonus when you drop them (or while you carry them). In a group, bundle items are usually carried by professions that use magic, since carrying one does not prevent you from casting Spells, Enchantments, or other magical skills. ''

Maybe "Carrying" and "Holding" are different concepts, one for in-game special things only and the other for ashes only, or they can be interchangable. Most likely though, is a lack of sycronization between different writers d-: -PanSola 07:53, 24 February 2006 (CST)

Oh and yes, over at Talk:Collectable Drops I already discussed the "trophy"... -PanSola 07:54, 24 February 2006 (CST)


 * Sounds like a good idea. You said new web site, I thought there was some Factions specific site I didn't know about. :)  --Rainith 12:39, 24 February 2006 (CST)

Ok, because of the "Drop Bundle Button" interface element, I'm going to just rename them to "Bundle" instead of "Bundle item" (feels too bulky). Whatever is in the game trumps whatever is on the site. I doubt most ppl care anyways so I'll just wait one day and do the rename if no one objects. -PanSola 11:19, 1 March 2006 (CST)


 * One of these days I won't be surprised to see a "Throw Baby" button added to the UI. 12:07, 1 March 2006 (CST)
