Mules

Mules are mounts that assist in the transport of goods, resources, and gatherables to increase a player's carrying capacity.^[2] Mules transport goods on a much smaller scale than the caravan system.^[3]

If a player dies there will be a period of time before their mule despawns. Other players must kill the mule to be able to loot it.^[4]

If a player's mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items as the player (based on their flagging status).^[4]^[5]

Carrying capacity

Alpha-2 inventory user interface early preview.^[8]

Personal inventory limits^[9]^[10] are tied to a backpack.^[11] Material and gatherable items are subject to quantity rather than weight limits.^[12] Caravans and Mules are intended to be the primary mode of transportation of goods beyond these limits.^[13]^[14]

Mules can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.^[15]

Caravans will have carrying capacity limits and customizable stats, such as defensive points, speed and number of hired NPC guards.^[16]
- In addition to expanded inventory capacity, caravans also provide ancillary benefits relating to successfully completing trade routes and other quests.^[17]
- Items transported by caravan must be stored in crates.^[18]

In my opinion, and this is of course subjective, but weight management is not a compelling mechanic for players to have to deal with in an MMO setting.^[12] – Steven Sharif

Inventory capacity has quantity (stacking) limits based on the type of item.^[12]^[13] For example: The stacking limit of potions might be one hundred. The stacking limit of food items might be 999 or 1000.^[13]

A player's inventory has sections for different types of items.^[19] Quest items for example will not fill a player's regular inventory capacity.^[17]

Inventory capacity will be relatively limited for new characters.^[17]
- Additional capacity may be obtained in-game by purchasing higher quality backpacks from crafters.^[12]

Players will have the ability to search for items they have stored in various locations (such as personal storage and node warehouses).^[20]

We want you to know where the things are; and then the meaningful aspect of that thing is traveling to those locations to access some of those things, particularly as it relates to materials and raw gatherables.^[20] – Steven Sharif
