#Invention tool that notes items when you open them (Geodes, Birds nest, etc.)

Geodes are the main target, but there are plenty of items that you need to open which can be annoying to do. Geodes for example give about a 50% chance for a non stackable gem, so you can only open about 50 of them before they fill your inventory up. Birds nests are a lesser example, since you turn 1 full nest into an empty nest and some other item (seed, jewelry, etc). This could really use a fix, but just noting the output doesn't really fit and would almost be too powerful on its own.

I propose a middle level tool that while in the inventory, spends 1-2 charges to note certain items when you "open" them. Gems from the Geodes, Birds nests, and whatever else gets added onto it once opened would be noted, allowing for a better experience when opening them. It's not really all that powerful as its just a minor utility item, so it shouldn't be too expensive to obtain and use, but the cost per use can't be too high because of the mass number of items it would be used with, so even 2 divine charges is quite expensive for such an insignificant utility but isn't absurdly costly either.

This could solve the minor issue things like Geodes have, but also be adapted to potentially help with many other situations as seen fit.

We literally have magic notepaper

Sometimes a QoL has a cost

#

And magic notepaper is cheap to make or pay for

#

In fact it’s unfortunately flooded into the game thanks to MTX

#

I love my magic notepaper. It’s necessary during my afk PvMing

uhhhh, why do you think i said it had to be an invention item which COSTS DIVINE CHARGES?

#

that ain't free

#

the point is to automatically note it as they are opened, rather than require you to do several extra clicks to work around it, which includes notepaper

The redundancy of having two invention items that do the same thing minus a click or two is the reason why I downvoted.

hardly redundant when one requires you to manually do it and can be done on anything anywhere, while the other happens automatically and only in very specific cirucmstances

#

I would say Tier 92 armor is redundant then because we have tier 90 armor

Not every minute inconvenience in the game needs to be solved with some automated-stackable solution. This is a video game. Running to the bank once and a while to clear your inventory is just part of the gameplay.

This suggestion really doesn't need to be tied to invention, it COULD be how it was implemented but it seems unlikely and i'm personally not a fan, obviously the jist of it is that opening bulk amounts of these items is awful, of which suggestions have been made before to change this https://discord.com/channels/303835144073248770/1183673203839746171

Invention just seems like the best place to put it outside of dedicated machines for each specific item.
