Managing bags can be a real pain if you are a Scavenger like me, even with five bags you need to take every opportunity to sell junk to merchants when you deliver quests. Else you will stand there in the middle of nowhere and decide whether to throw away an Mmmm Gud or a Battered Mug. There is a simple thing that can make junk selling so much faster (except the NRarity addon) that I discovered somewhere in tier 2 when you get enough bags to play around with, but a surprising amount of people are completely unaware of it. Thus, as a Public Service Announcement (Threeee Dawgh!), I present:

How To Automatically Sort Bags

Now the picture should tell you all you need to know, but anyway. On the side of each bag is a small arrow-thingy. Clicking on it will bring up a menu like that above, and you get set what items that will go into each bag. You can set it to type or (and this is the gud stuff) rarity.

I run with the following config:

Bag 1: weapons, armor, potions and dye (Misc > Dye). This is usually full with Book of Biding, teleportation scroll, potions, healing gear, bear helmet and whatever I think I might need.

Bag 2: same as bag 1. This ensure that all valuable stuff goes into the bag to be safely kept when vendoring, and the BOE gear then mailed to a bank alt standing in Altdorf.

Bag 3: crafting. Everything I get from Scavenging is placed here and I generally vendor everything except the blue and purple stuff. This bag fill amazingly fast so it’s better to clean it whenever you get to a vendor. Or spillover will enter the second bag as in the screenshot.

Bag 4: grey and white quality (Rarity > Utility & Common). All pure junk goes here. Some dyes are grey or white and potions are white but they will be placed in the second bag unless it’s full.

Bag 5: same as bag 4.

And that concludes this Public Service Announcement. For more things you should know but never ask about see the wonderful thread “6 weeks of WAR and I only just found out…“.

Remember kids, be careful out there in the Capital Wasteland.
