We've had an influx of some new thieves, some of whom may look disturbingly like "Beaker" from the muppets:
Accordingly, I thought it would be appropriate to remind everyone how to keep your platinum safe from thieves during town invasions.
For this project you'll need:
1 lockable box (can be made by a new character with 50 carpentry/50 tinkering)
1 backpack
The "magic lock" and "magic unlock" spell
1. Place the box inside your main pack and open it.
2. Place the backpack inside the box.
3. Cast "magic lock" on the box and drag the open box gump off to the side of your screen.
You can now place items directly into the backpack within the box and they cannot be stolen. Additionally, you can use regs, bandaids, runebooks/runes and potions through the locked box but thieves can't steal those either. You CANNOT, however, equip any items within the box, so, for example, light (under 10 stones) weapons locked within the box are unusable, and vulnerable while outside the box. You also can't drop items directly into the box, you have to drop them into a subcontainer within the box (thus the backpack).
4. To access the contents of the box, just cast "magic unlock" on it. You'll also need to do this if you accidentally close the open box gump to reopen it.
5. Remember that items under 10 stones can be stolen, so make sure your box has more than just platinum in it or the thief could just steal the whole thing outright
