    In a perfect world, I wouldn't think twice about opening a bundle if I am feeling lucky.

    But in Shroud, I literally don't do it quite regularly because I don't want to have to look through my damn inventory and find all the garbage and clear it out. I don't want to pull out the apples, the rolls, etc.

    So rather than deal with inventory management (punishment) I just look at the bundle and feel bad.

    I always open up mine when I'm unloading in my storage chests. Since I'm sorting and depositing anyway...

    I'm starting to wait to open them until I'm at a merchant with my inventory open.. when you open the bundle everything is selected by default. Find one item.. drag the entire selection over to the merchant window to sell.

    Or if I have several.. still at the merchant as I'm usually unloading stuff I don't want to keep anyway.

    I know that's the optimal way to do it, but ideally you open it when you feel like.

    I only on extremely rare occasions find them, so not a big deal for me. Just put the junk crap in the sell bag and done.

    The cookie that gives +1 focus for 15 milliseconds isn't junk.

    Honestly I only open supply bundles when I reach a certain limit of them in my small bags / chests containing it :)

    Fill up a chest with stackable junk. Select entire inventory and drag into chest. All junk goes in there and stacks and everything else stays in inventory. Very fast.

    I thought you were going to say you hated opening supply bundles because they (mostly) contain junk and so why waste your time.

    Honestly, i prefer grey bundles to yellow ones because at least with the grey, i often get a decent recipe.

    I always open mine as soon as looted, I am still hoping for that day to find something very cool in it. Too bad I am always fooled.

    Occasionally I've found some good stuff in bundles. I've had greater success in grey bundles as compared to yellow or even blue. As I understand it, there is some median which dictates what we'll see. Usually it looks at the value of the drop and adjust. At least that's my understanding. I believe it was a recent livestream i saw that from.

    I love the livestreams. However this is a problem when trying to reference something to people. I'm not even sure which I thought I heard Chris make the comment :)

    Anyway. Grey Bundles > Blue so far.

    weird.

    I open them when I find one of the public chests, so that I can put the stuff that I do not need in the chest as a donation.
    I have never gotten anything cool from the bundles.

    Still, I like that idea. Making stuff you don't want available to new Avatars in the game. Running out and buying a couple public chests tonight :D
