Recycle Bottles?

Well, I'm finding good bottles are getting hard to find... also that it seemed quite unreasonable why not... people should beable to keep the bottle after they drank it... I mean, it's good money you know? Druid can then buy it back from the people they sold their drinks to... I don't know, what do you guys think?

Hey i think its an innovative idea, but maybe it helps the economy too much, who knows.

But since you don't lick each bottle clean, how about after you drink a potion you get a "dirty bottle" that you have to clean with water first before it becomes a normal "bottle" again.

This image just came to my mind:
Knights and mages standing around chugging dozens of potions and after each one slams them down on the ground to break them for no apparent reason except maybe to look cool.
Hahahahahahahahaha :biggrin:

One reason for the lost bottles would be, that if you drink them hastily (like most times in a battle), you won't waste your time by putting them back in your pocket.

ok, so let's overload the server by making it remember where we all dropped the bottles and then when you walk on a square with a bottle on it, you can well, pick it up

Na... I think it's already taking too long to drink it... Some times I die because I try to drink it and I know well in advance that 2 more hits or so the deamon would die... maybe I could've made it without the bottle... So I think putting it away is an idea we can work out.

Also, I noticed a small bug... I found a way to make monsters invisible and no one else can touch em other then you

*ggg* good one eh? Bror, I'll mail you about it later.

Hello all!

One problem of the idea, that people could keep their bottles after having drunk them that this recycling could destroy the glasblowing-economy. I am a master glas-blower and I earn much money by doing this job... so, please do not change this system!!

May the Gods bless you!

Since there are people who are glass-blowers (please tell me the correct term) I think reusing bottles automatically would be pointless but you could make it so that recycling glass/ruined items is a skill like smithing. However even with a maxed out skill the sucess rate should only be no more then 25% so people could still make money by making bottles. This skill would make it so that people have a chance at using bottles again but it would not be a very good one.
