Xunlai Chest Summoning Stone
Halimahdance
I think a storage chest summoning stone gift from Nicholas the Traveler would be great. For me, it would be nice to have the option of conjuring a storage chest while farming when all slots in inventory become full.

I agree. I often forget specific things that I need when it's too late, or very inconvenient to go back and grab it.

Yes, it would be nice, but ultimately I think it would be a bit too convenient for players. I don't think everything should be at our fingertips.

If the game isn't easy enough already, go play Sesame Street Adventures. The game has farming, and many people do it. However, the game is not about farming. If you can't remember to bring things you need/want, why would you remember to bring something like a Xunlai Summoning Stone? Unless they were extremely common, you wouldn't use them very much, so you'd soon complain that you need space to store them.
Seriously.... stop farming 10 hours a day, or make use of the things we already have. Mercantile Summoning Stones are already designed for farming.

And the merchant doesn't solve all the problems of filling your pack while on a long non-farming run if you don't wish to merch all mats, collectable drops, useful weapon mods, runes, etc. I find that my pack starts filling up with stuff I want to keep, leaving less and less room for stuff that I will merch.

I actually think it's a decent idea. Not for the farming aspect (ahem...bring a Superior Salvage Kit), but for simple convienence for accessing items in your storage when you want to.

Umm unless you have been living under a rock, then you should know that with SF we DO have everything at our fingertips.
OP: It would make everything too convenient. With a merch stone and this xunlai stone, you would never need to head back to the outpost.

Hm...
The Command Post doesn't have one.
Why?
Answer that and you'll answer why can't this be done.

[Ah, herro there.]
Full inventory fix that Nick already provides.
If you need back into your chest that badly, just cut the run short. :/

And how does a merchant help if I'm farming for something other than cash, such as collectables? I just don't see how they are "designed for farming" when it is pointless to use them while farming.

I am curious as to 'why' Xunlai can't be in the Command Post though.
Yawgmoth
Xunlai chest isn't in Command Post because either it's a poorly designed location or there are technical difficulties in accessing account items data while outside outposts. If there are technical obstacles then they almost surely disallow such a summon.
But if it's doable without too much work then I don't see any single reason against it, although I wouldn't use it myself.

Eh, too easy. They've already made this game so easy that the average 2 year old can dtsc for max kurzick, why make it any easier?
Zahr Dalsk
I think NOT, for bloody obvious reasons.

This wouldn't actually make the game any easier - just more convenient.

Yes, collectable items and mats are stackable and you are unlikely to fill a stack of any single item. However, the problem is that on a long run you may get many items. Say you do a vanquish starting from ToA and doing Black Curtain, Tallmark, Tears, and either Twin Serpents or Stingray before being able to get to an outpost with Xunlai. Think of how many different types of collectables, mats, and rare mats you will end up with. Plus any runes and mods worth keeping. You really end up hurting for space well before the end of such a run. The merchant stone helps, but the space available for merchfood dwindles rapidly.

"Everyone is at 45DP"
"Good thing I brought a stack of powerstones!"
Because, newsflash, if you have enough money these days, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
