Ok, seeing as how Verant raised the weight of spits, presumably to match the
raise in weight of all other trade skill containers, I was just wondering if
anyone had been using them to save weight?
I can understand people using large sewing kits and toolboxes to save weight
over backpacks, but I thought spits were originally heavy enough so that
using them wouldn't give any noticeable reduction in weight?

... and it looks like Medicine Bags are going to be the new replacement for
monks. 6-slot, Large size, 0.4 weight (i think)

Not for long, now that you mentioned it. ;) Spits only changed after
someone mentioned them being missed here...

Nah! Concordance of Research, 6-slot, giant size, 0.2 weight. Little
pricey though.

The oh so easily available fletching kits are still lighter than
backpacks at 2.0.

Shhh, keep it quiet. I need to keep at least one bag.

Ultimately, it works the way it does because it's the way plastic
exterior transtemporal mechanics function when you're dealing with
omni-dimensional ripple effects triggered at the end of a continuum
packet. - Kurt Busiek

Oops, I should have done more research. I just assumed that a large metal
spit would weigh at least as much as a bag... but apparently not in the
weird EQ universe.
