Not sure what I'm doing with this yet but..
-a heavy grey oilcloth backpack with supple brown leather drawstrings-
Holds up to 150K silver weightlessly. Backpack itself is VLA and can be lightened/deepened.
Tap to move coins from pockets to pack (removing encumbrance) & rub to move them all back to pockets (weighing you down). Doesn't look like they can be stolen from my test, not sure about navigators/rift though I doubt it as it's not really on your person and doesn't require open/close like a coin hand.

Does the backpack holding coins detract from it's ability to hold other things? IE, if you stick 150k in coins in, does it hold less than when it has 0 coins in it?

The coins are probably held by a script and are not an actual item inside the backpack.

Right, this.

Do want... Don't think I can pay the price for it though

Occasionally when you remove the coins from these backpacks you will fumble and drop some on the ground. (i've dropped 30k before on the ground, and it was a pain to pick back up).

O, did you buy Gnimble's old backpack?

no, I just happen to have a good friend that lets me borrow it occasionally. To be honest, I was script testing it to see if there was a fumble rate (because I heard a rumor) it was like 1 -2%... Not really significant impact on value if you only use it like most would (storing the coins from a single hunt)

The most I ever dropped was a around 100 coins.

What did you find the rate to be? I admittedly wasn't very thorough (mainly because I wasn't overly concerned if it didn't happen like every other time or something), so I only did like 110 or whatever.

I honestly never kept track. I had a lich script that would scoop up the coins if the spill msg appeared.
I can't stress enough how fucking awesome this backpack is in the rift and you keep 20k with you and an Koar Emerald. Carrying, literally, all the boxes you can possibly hold, and going from the scatter to the pool is suicide, assuming you can even climb the thread with all that weight. Rub backpack, raise emerald, 1 deed plus shitloads of deaths/time saved. The time saved alone was worth the 20k and I never lost an emerald from uses.
