Keychains

[Mr Peanut]

Simple enough.

Production?Use pliers to bend maybe 10g of iron, takes maybe 0.25 days.

Purpose? You can add keys to it, which has the effect of an envelope. Lessens clutter on inventory page, and if necessary you can remove keys individually.

Variation? Silver, Gold, Aluminum, Steel. I'm sure there could be, but what's the point? Plain iron does the trick. Only rich snobs would need to waste wealth with a gold keychain.

I don't exactly see a "real" point to a keychain, except to remove clutter. Which is good itself, yes, but it has no purpose.

If keys were set up like Ultima 8 (Ie: Click a key, click a door, if it's wrong it tells you it doesn't fit. Try another key, keep trying, et cetera. When you acquire a keychain, put your keys on the keychain, use the keychain, it automatically uses ALL keys on that chain on the door, and if none fit it tells you) then this would be a good idea to cut down time using every key you own. But it's not.

Plus the majority of people don't run around with 50 keys on hand or anything, so... yeah.

Well for those who DON'T run around with 50 keys on hand, then yes there is no point. but there are some who do, and for these ppl I thikn it would be a good idea.

One of my chars collects keys, any keys, even if they don't work.

He has about 15 now, and it takes ages to get past them all, so i like the keychain idea.

[Bran-Muffin]

I like the idea. *nods* Nough said.

[swymir]

Some people don't run around with bloodlust in their eyes does that mean there shouldn't be any weapons?

[west]

One of my chars has about 40 keys. but only 12 on him at the mo'.

Another collects the dead bodies of his enemies.

We all have our quirks.

[Spectrus_Wolfus]

maybe have it as clothing and you can attach key's to it . he has a fine chain attached to his clothing with key's on it. or something like that. get the most used key's out of your inventory all together.

Well actually I don't mean the kind of keychains that bunch up several keys, but the kinds that are used for identifying them. They wouldn't have to be anything fancy or labeled, just a thread of wool yarn or a piece of hide or a silk ribbon - there are endless of possibilities. They might not hold a meaning to just anyone finding them, but something like this could be easier to memorise the an series of numbers. Even better if we had colours, but it will be a cold day in Hell before Cantr get dyes, so I won't hold my breath.

The attributes should be: removable, not duplicated along with the key, several options for materials and a short production time (one hour, unless a complicated design).

Suggestions for designs:

A thread of wool yarn: 15 grams of wool yarn, no tools
A thread of silk yarn: 10 grams of silk yarn, no tools
A thread of cotton yarn: 15 grams of cotton yarn, no tools
A thread of hemp yarn: 20 grams of hemp yarn, no tools
Copper keybutt: 1 copper wire, pliers
Feather keybutt: 20 grams of feathers, 5 grams of any metal, pliers
A silk ribbon: 10 grams of silk cloth, a needle (to keep it from unraveling)
Leather keybutt: 15 grams of leather, a needle
Glass bead keybutt: 15 grams of glass beads, some metal or yarn or both

combine the ideas, we should be able to make a lable, you can attach it to an induvidual key or a lable for an entire key set that you can attach to a key ring.
also the key ring is great, lets say you need to give a number of people a huge set of keys maybe you're turning over a business or giving someone mass acess to something for some reason and instead of having to hand them 20 keys or dumping them on the floor you can just pass the key ring.
and indeed we should have keyrings makable in every metal and why? exacly as was said, so rich snobs can show off thier wealth with a gold keyring.

[Mykey]

You are absolutely right. In it something is also thought good, agree with you.

[Idriveayugo]

I would like to bring attention back to this suggestion.

It's a pain dropping and picking up multiple keys sometimes.
