I believe the assorted coin purses were removed from treasure tables when Skyshrine was revamped in November 2002. Yelinak still drops the Very Large, but the other four (Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large) no longer drop. WTB Small, Medium, or Large on Bristlebane server. Shoot me a tell or hit me in-game mail.

WR for coins Stack?
# Dec 31 2003 at 6:16 PM Rating: Decent
If i have 2 bags that reduse weight of coins will the WR for them stack? for instance i have a Gem Pouch from Nadox with 30% WR to coins. If i have thes also will it reduse coin weight by 70% or will i just get the bigger of the two?
thanks for any input

Unfortunatly they do not stack for the reduction on the coins. I had a dakoit coin purse (from Field of Bone) and a tiny coin purse (from skyshrine) and the weight of 5000pp did not change when they both were equiped.

I forgot which one of the 2 purses was the one that was used in the reduction.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 20 2001 at 1:21 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok, whoever its is that thinks this bag isn't worth AT LEAST 5k, YOU ARE CRAZY! As a high level monk, I can tell you that even a reduction of .5 or .6 lbs makes a huge difference in what equipment you can carry, especially at high levels. Any of you fools who want to sell one of these for under 5k on Karana, give me a tell and consider it SOLD (unless i can loot one first =p). Of course, I have a feeling that anyone posting that this bag is worth less than 5k (let alone 2k) isn't of a level high enough to get to Velious, let alone Skyshrine, so I guess I shouldn't worry so much about it. Well, lataz.

i like how you yelled at everyone, with no prompt in which to do so. i thank you for your helpful insight.

on another note, i think someone needed to be held more as a child. Does your father know youre on his computer?

Drops in Skyshrine

The one I saw dropped in Skyshrine, upper level, past the maze, where you get to all the 54+ mobs.

Two trips up clearing everything and only one of these dropped.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 15 2001 at 4:11 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yelinak drops a dragon bag that gives 100% coin reduction as well. Unsure if that'd be the large coin purse or the ultra coin purse, but, it does drop in skyshrine as well.

# Jul 24 2002 at 10:14 AM Rating: Good
Yelinak's drop is called the Very Large Coin Purse, and it's 70%WR to coins and contents. You can view it here:

#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 14 2001 at 3:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i would fill the slot with the tinkerers bag then that 10 slot 100% weight would be much much more helpful than the 40% weight reduc on coins, unless maybe you are hunting HGs then i would make the exception)

Personally, I would rather have this purse over another tink bag. I don't have enough equip to actually consider carrying another tink bag.

Just a price estimate on Brell, I would say this would go for around 5k to start, then drop to roughly 2-3k after the initial novelty wears off.

RE: Heh 4-6k
# Apr 24 2002 at 1:58 AM Rating: Decent
well i guess it all depends on what server ya play on. i play on cazic one of the oldest servers in the game..so there are so many 50+ folks that can go farm stuff like this...its everywhere. every time an expansion is announced prices start falling...and falling...and falling, since everyone's thinking hey! new expansion...new items...i dont want this crap any more! wurmies used to go for jeez...4k? when kunark first hit the streets, since everybody and their mama wanted one..now theyre hard to sell for a K. same with centi LS etc etc. rarity is definetly an issue...if only one guy's got one...and maybe 10 people want one/can make a reasonable bid on said item...the price is gunna WOOOOHOOOOO wayyyyy up. all about supply and demand broham =) i can definetly see how this would pay for it self rather quickly with a monk. if you have to give away/destroy your coin or run to the bank all the time, your missing out on alot of plat. pretty nice, if i had the cash laying around id buy a couple and i dont even have a monk =) oh and one more thing...not only are prices on specific items different from server to server. the entire economy can vary greatly. so say...FS weapons are worth 20pp on a new server since theyre some of the best weapons any player on said server can acquire...something that dropped in a zone such as skyshrine would be worth...well it would basically be invaluable. very few people would have one and very few people would have enough to pay for one

anyways, im not flaming anyone, just throwing my couple copper into the collective umm coin purse of thought =)

4-6k is possible, just a guess, but you don't sound like a monk. Probably sell for closer to 2k though
Wonder if they stack?
# Apr 14 2001 at 8:40 AM Rating: Default
I currently own the tiny coin purse. Although not a great difference, as a caster with 65str every bit helps. I'm just wondering if the 40% coin purse will stack with the 20% if I have them both in my inventory. 60% wt. reduction on coins would be very nice!! Oh well, food for thought.

My best guess
# Apr 13 2001 at 2:20 PM Rating: Default
I don't know this for sure, but this may drop in Skyshrine since the tiny coin purse drops there. If it is anything like the tiny coin purse all you have to do is have it in your inventory and any coins you are carrying will have a 40% weight reduction. I believe items in the tiny coin purse are also reduced in weight, can't remember for sure, so if my guess is correct this would be a nice item to have. If I am wrong someone who actually knows where it drops, how it works etc, please post the info.

Drops from Wyverns

This item drops off the wyverns and cubes, pass the first pool room. Its a very rare drop.
What creatures?

"This item is found on creatures." What creatures? I would be interested in learning the whereabouts so as to obtain one for myself. :)
Price
# Apr 12 2001 at 10:50 PM Rating: Default
Are you guys nutz? Where you see 250p? Even the SMALL Coin Purse goes for 4-6k on Bertoxxulous. This item is double the reduction coins and items and has 2 more slots.
RE: Price
# Apr 13 2001 at 6:02 AM Rating: Default
Who would pay 6k (or 1k) for a small container that reduces coin weight only 20%? If you're carrying 4000pp, it would reduce the weight of the coins from 100 to 80. Ooh. If you're just carrying random loot, say 120pp, it reduces it from 3 lbs to 2.4 lbs. Ooh ooh.

I would have to agree. The Tiny Coin Purse is WAY over-rated. 20% reduction is almost meaningless even for a monk. I seriously doubt I ever fight with more than 300 plat and gold combined and even with this I would still drop the silver and copper. That is a reduction from 7.5wt to 6wt with the Tiny version of this. Now this Medium Coin Purse makes more sense. It provides 4 slots AND 40%wt reduction. Forget the coin weight reduction for a sec... how many containers that hold 4 items weigh only 0.1? Not many. I would gladly pay 2000 to 3000pp for this. This item might pay for itself after about 10 levels of playing whereas the Tiny Coin Purse would never earn you 5000pp in a million years. If offered the Tiny Coin Purse my bid would come in around 1000pp, just a little more than a Dakoit Coin Purse. Of course I also play on Lanys T'Vyl, the server with the most depressed economy in all of EQ... prices are very low there.
Crazy greedy monks?

Can't think of anyone else this would be really useful for.

You say it only reduces weight of coins by 20 percent???

I might use one if it was free but even then i'd be sacrificing 4 -6 slots of space to have 20 percent less coin weight.. yay. Plus though it reduces the items in it by 40 percent it only holds up to medium items. Again I only see this for monks who might use it to reduce the weight of say stacked food and water (water is as much as .4 or something per 20 stack) and coins by 20 percent.

Anyone rich enough to pay a few k for such a thing would make it lessening coin weight kinda moot though as they'd not be the kind of person to carry around 2000 gold pieces or something and would probably find a tinkers bag a more worthwhile item to spend money on.

If they wanted to make a USEFUL coin "purse" they should have one like this but make it useful on PVP servers by making your money unlootable since it is in the "purse" and you can't loot containers. THEN on pvp servers it would have a very large value.

What drops this?
Heh

I'm a monk, and I payed 600 for the Dakoit coin purse that doesn't really do anything for me really, just to have it for those times you need to haul cash around for trades.

Drool, 40%...

So, this means theres probably a "Large coin purse" somewhere. Think about a 100% coin reduction purse. Go on, think about it! :
RE: Heh
# Apr 13 2001 at 1:13 AM Rating: Default
I don't think it reduces coin WT by 40%, but rather the items in it reduce by 40%. I think this reduces coins by 20%.
RE: Heh
# Mar 22 2003 at 4:46 AM Rating: Decent
its because dakoit is only 10%

I'd love to get this item. Monks at least would pay much more than 250pp for this.
#REDACTED, Posted: Apr 12 2001 at 4:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Pretty nice item, i wouldn't pay much more than 250pp for it since it's only 4slot. W00t 1st post!
