About Inventory Clutter in AO (specifically the inventory system built into Roblox and not the custom AO one) By @Lumina_Delhttps://forum.arcaneodyssey.dev/uploads/default/original/3X/b/d/bd5e7466a30ed5462af86ad6e9a46722a10a9a28.png
Theres a few posts about this topic already but I dont think ive seen one about this part of the system.
The later you are in the game, the more your inventory becomes filled with more and more stuff that you may only need situationally and if you have more than 10 items you may need at a moments notice this problem becomes worse and worse
Theres just way too much stuff and if you forgot what the name you are searching for is you have to search out the item one by one. which is incredibly hard because stuff like your magic and weapons have the same slotsize as the 100 different meals you cooked to farm your cooking level or if youre searching for your clan flag or camp marker.
Right now the following are a really big thorn in the eye when you want to look for them:
Journals
Food items
Cooked meals especially
Brewing materials (or just materials in general)
Crafted Jewels (you cant even use them from here, why are they here?)
Potions (because some of these may be really situational or just too low level to be useful at your progression)
Tools (because youre not gonna need a Wooden Shovel if you have a Gold Shovel already)
It would really ease up a lot if we could just blacklist items from appearing in our roblox inventory by enabling that in the AO inventory. The item should be grayed out until you un-blacklist it again.
I was thinking of making a Suggestions post about this but im not a high enough trust level on this forum yet so I just wanna know first if this is also as much of a problem for others like for me
Edit: Another thing: With the amount of items I have at this point, the game slightly lags whenever I open up my Roblox inventory, and the blacklist feature could also greatly help with that
I’m assuming that you are talking about the backpack and not the custom inventory.
I think a simpler and better way to help with finding items in your backpack is with sorting tabs (similar to those in the inventory). It’s like whitelisting instead of blacklisting, which I think is better. Also adding the rarity and order sorts from the custom inventory would be nice.
Some things that would also help are:
Being able to search categories or terms in the backpack (e.g. searching up “fruit” would show all fruits)
Even more specific category sorts. For example you can sort by “food” and then by “meals”. Or you can sort by “misc” and then by “journals”.
Having the backpack already be sorted by category and not randomly scrambled
Fix the bugs related to the backpack (and sometimes inventory) such as same items in different stacks and the backpack scrambling whenever you touch anything
Some of these would be nice in the custom inventory as well.
It would help a lot if you could search with broad terms such as the above comment said but, having tabs for the types of items would definitely help a lot, it’d also help if the inventory didn’t completely scramble everytime you click an item
I once full on crashed roblox because I tried to trade with someone. Like the game full on went “roblox.exe has stopped responding” and I had to use task manager to close it and reopen it to play.

Oh yeah that would definitely help also, and while it does kinda fix the problem i was meaning to address with that post, it would only partially fix the aspect i had an issue with,
because you still need to type into the search bar or scroll alot to get the item you want
Might be alot more time investment to implement maybe also but thats not something i can judge clearly since i never messed around with the backpack code.
My aim with that suggestion was mainly keeping the amount of items you have in your backpack at the same time to at max 1 page if you do put time into blacklisting items so you can grab things quicker without having to scroll or type into the search bar when you need the item immediately.
YES
also theres a bug about unstackable items
yes i know that food which contain the same ingredients but are fed to the cooking pot in a different order will give different stacks but im not talking about food
my golden shovels wont stack, i got them all myself
right now i have
1 golden shovel
12 golden shovels
3 golden shovels
i cant stack them (for some reason)
