Revision as of 12:38, 28 June 2015

Vessels are containers that can hold liquids, although in general you can fit solid things in as well. If you put more than ten items into a container for liquids you will only see them as "various undissolved substances". You will still be able to count them though.


Precise weights (as measured on the post office balance) and capacities (figured out by actually putting things into the container) should be bolded. Weights gotten by hand-weighing the container, and capacities gotten from appraise, shouldn't be.

This table uses a special template, {{Ves}}, to calculate useful ratios from the weight and capacities. See that template's page for details on using it.

Itemdb Properties Capacity Ratios
[1]  amber demijohn This is a amber glass demijohn. It has been created to hold ice-cold water, perfect for counteracting the heat of the desert sun. A special lining inside the demijohn supposedly keeps the water cool. It is covered by a wicker frame which protects it against sharp knocks that might otherwise cause it to shatter.

It appears to have something written on it. Written in scrawled letters: "Bloody Stupid" Johnson's patent insulating lining.  || demijohn ||&&&&&+1800 2 ||&&&&&&+900 1 || &&&&+14000 15 5/9 lb || 4000040000 || || || &&+2314287 2571.43

[12]  beer tin This smallish tin is just the right size to fit comfortably in your hand. On its side, wielding a pint glass of something that looks like it has been drunk already, is the picture of a kangaroo wearing both a hat and a broad grin.

Harbour mistress' cabinet, Genua  liquor demijohn This is a liquor bottle, for storing liquor. As amazing a coincidence as that may be, it's probably not a good idea to go looking for divine intervention. It's most likely just a happy state of intersecting affairs rather than a sign that the Gods really do take an interest in your life.  demijohn &&&&&+1800 2 &&&&&&+900 1 &&&&&+4000 4 4/9 lb 1680016800 &&+3402000 3780     9 1/9 lb filled
