Item flag- to prevent accidents

We need to be able to set the "No sale / No Destroy / No Salvage" flag on an item we own. It is far too easy to accidentally lose a valuable item. The recent change to the Repair/Salvage buttons was very helpful but it is still easy to accidentally Salvage a valuable item. It is also way to easy to accidentally sell an item and I have even accidentally deleted an item due to latency and mis-clicking.

I know this has been mentioned before but I think this is something that should be addressed sooner rather than later.

 

That is a great idea, I haven't "Miss-Clicked" yet but I know some day I will and I'll lose something important. I'd be willing to offer all the Dev's a night out with free drinks if they can make this happen.

 

AMEN! Something I think is sorely needed.

 

I'll tell ya another "gear button" I'm paranoid of is the one on the sign for your Lot. I think if you are giving up your lot it should ask you multiple times.

Un-Deed Lot? y/n
Are you sure? y/n
Are you absolutely sure? y/n
Are you on any medications or have you been drinking tonight? y/n
Do you have a note from your Mommy? y/n


If you answered No to any of the questions above you are too drunk or stoned to make this decision, please try again tomorrow. (Then set an in game timer)

 

I agree that salvaging is risky currently but not so much accidentally destroying or selling. Both of those actions are followed by at least one prompt that I can click out of.

 

Get a small bag and place 'valuable' items in it while crafting.

 

While this works for salvaging it doesn't work while selling items to vendor.

 

Change the name of the small bag to "DO NOT SELL!"

 

I agree....see my wish, where I show a way to implement locking an item in your inventory.

 

Yes, yes, yes. I vote for do not destroy and do not sell flags for items. I have to really concentrate on not selling or salvaging my new 2 handed axe if I forget to equip it after repairing it

 

I have accidentally included an enchanted, masterworked sword with a crit into the selling window of an NPC and sold it for a pittance. It is not a nice feeling. I spent hours mining the silver that resulted in that sword!

In my opinion the fact that it can easily happen is reason enough to provide a guaranteed way to prevent it.

 

I wish that would work... but all items are listed in the 'sell' screen, and it doesn't matter if they are in a container or not, while the container itself and its contents aren't listed seperately at all.

All you get when selling is a list of ALL items contained in your inventory. When you are trying to sell 60 war hammers/halberds, it's very easy to include an item you didn't intend to in the sell column. Lost a 2 handed +8 banish undead Sword that way

 

The simple fix is to ask an explicit permission for all "Crafted by Someone" items, on irreversible operations.

 

I imagine that wouldn't be a nice feeling, considering I'm a miner myself. In reviewing this, I actually didn't think of selling to a merchant but selling (listing) items on a vendor. I do agree that there may be a need for more security when selling a to a merchant.
