Backpack vendor in Jobe/SL

[Lenvee1]

Hello,

Where is the backpaks vendor in Jobe Harbor/Market/Plaza please (outside Starter area, I'm 50+) please ?

Thank you

I don't know of one in Jobe, but it's easy enough to run thru to ICC hub and get one. there used to be an NPC in Harbor with "Traveling" in his name according to a search. I don't really buy anything in Jobe other than stims, but I can't imagine that after all these years there's not shops with basic packs in them.

In the ICC Shopping Hub as you enter turn left, take 2-3 steps, turn right, buy one from "Containers" terminal. You'll also find them in any Fairtrade or Basic/Advanced/Superior Clan/Omni shop. My sub is frozen atm so unsure of SL but think they're in Hardware Dimension.

Basic Omni/Clan shops don't have a backpack vendor. And the Fairtrades in ICC and neutral cities have a lot higher prices for packs (and everything else too) than the regular superior/advanced Omni or Clan shops or the startup vendors distributed around cities (like the ones in OA hill for example). I don't remember ever finding packs anywhere in SL. All vendors outside in harbor/market/plaza were removed some time ago, so if one of them had packs for sale, they're gone now.

Not in basic shops, but in Advanced and Superior Stores.

Old Athen - left of mission terminals at backyard 16 - Clan Basic Startup Equipment
Clan Cities - Advanced Supplies - Clan Containers
Clan Cities - Superior Supplies - Clan Containers

Borealis Fairtrade - ICC Containers (nearly same price as in clan and omni stores, only 5% higher)

OT Cities - Advanced Store - OT Containers
OT Cities - Superior Store - OT Containers

Not in basic shops, but in Advanced and Superior Stores.

Which is kinda what i implied in the next sentence while mentioning that the neutral fair trades are now more expensive than the clan/omni advanced or superior shops.

And while it's true that the basic packs are not that much more expensive, but especially for a new character with low CL, the named special packs cost insane amounts in the Fair Trades. Like pretty much everything in the ICC/Neutral shops. Everything costs way too much in there for a new player. Which is sad because ICC shops are the ones that the new players go first.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand, anyone been able to find a pack vendor in SL/Jobe yet?

My shop info data is from pre-18.7 so might be outdated. But from having scourged all of RK and SL to collect shop inventories:

Only the Outzone Supplier sells backpacks in the Shadowlands.

For future reference, this was the SQL query.

SELECT 
t.`TemplateId`,
t.`Name`,
isn.`name` AS ShopName,
isl.`id` AS ZoneId,
isl.`name` AS ZoneName

FROM 
aoitems_live.`Templates` AS `t`
JOIN ItemShopMap AS `ism` ON (`ism`.`lowid` = t.`TemplateId` OR ism.`highid`=t.`TemplateId`)
JOIN ItemShopNames AS `isn` ON (isn.`id`=ism.`shopName`)
JOIN ItemShopLocations AS `isl` ON (isl.`id` = isn.`id`)

WHERE
t.`IsCurrent`=1
AND t.`Name` LIKE '%backpack%'
AND isl.name NOT LIKE 'general%store%'

TemplateId  Name              ShopName                ZoneId  ZoneName         
----------  ----------------  ----------------------  ------  -----------------

Thanks.

But isn't this the the vendor at the LoX area, right? So not really a place where a newbie could buy packs?

I used to hate not being able to get packs from SL vendors when i used to farm PB patterns and arul gems. Good to know that it's still better to stack your bank full of empty backpacks if you go hunting anything in SL that requires a lot of inventory space.
