Note to Self
DAoC allows stacking of materials!!
You can "stack" stacks of components in one inventory slot, up to a quantity of 100 of each item. So, you buy five "stacks" of 20 bronze metal bars each, and you drag one to the other. This combines them into one "stack" of 40. Continue with the rest, and you'll have one stack of 100. This doesn't reduce the weight, but it does enable you to hold many different items without using up too many inventory slots, especially if you use a skill like armorcrafting, which might require you to hold two or three levels of components.
