Can someone enlighten me as to the purpose of these teeny tiny little
picnic baskets you find so much on Sollen? Are they a quest item or more
like the club you find on ogres?

They are a random, and rare drop on Sollen Warriors (1 in 50+).
Very valuable, I've seen them on vendors for as much as 50K a
piece. I leave them on the body.

*On the matter of the whip...it really would be nice if they'd make it a
weapon...but what category would it fall into? Macing kinda makes sense, since
it's bluntish damage...but swords, too...since a good whip blow slashes, and
whips were 1 hand slash weapons in EQ...hmm...of course, it's very unlikely
they'll ever make whips a weapon with all the pea brained tween racist POS
twinks in the game and the garbage they'd inevitably start spewing...*

This would be an even more amusing thread if I went by Polychromic.or Poly
for short, here like I do in the RGCUD newsgroup. 😉

Of course they were supposed to be weapons initially but they cited the
reason of their animation in combat being problematic. I think that is a
bit of a cop out though. I mean - look at the short spear animation or
rather the lack of it. But maybe they wanted some kind of attack from
across the screen effect like the way arrows fly around. Oh well. No
Indiana Jones in UO.
