There is a new type of bag available in the latest episode.

"If possible, containers and consumable items will fill this box before other empty spaces. The contents of this box will not move when inventory is sorted."

To be a bit more precise about it's functionality, it acts as an invisible bag (items won't appear in a sell-to-vendor list, on the trading post, in the salvage all lists and won't be deposited or moved when the inventory is compacted) and prioritize consumable items and containers. Here's a few examples of items that it takes:

  • Unidentified Gear
  • Luck
  • Champion Bags
  • Material Bags
  • Daily reward chests
  • Ley-infused Sands
  • LS currency
  • Food/Utilities

This bag has some very useful features: Unidentified gear won't be automatically salvaged, and containers are grouped allowing to process them together easily.

However, there seems to be a problem that makes it a bit annoying to use depending on how you like to manage your inventory: Having items that you'd normally want to deposit in this bag (LS currencies, ley-infused sands) forces the player to individually click each one of them to deposit.

Personally, I would prefer if items that can be deposited were not prioritized or to allow items to be deposited from inside this bag. I've also seen people say they would prefer if the bag wasn't invisible but then Unidentified Gear would be salvageable from inside the bag.

I know people have different ways to manage their inventory so it would be interesting to hear what kind of other problems and solutions people have come across or if anyone has found a way to use this bag without any downsides.

The invisible-ness of these isn't intended, and should be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
