While wearing a belt of pouches and a soft leather backpack, <exa pack> and <exa worn pack> actually examine the belt of pouches. Any ideas why?

Cause they both count as packs

Try <exa second pack> Or just get scrips from Sybarus and name them "Gear" or "Loot" and then <exa gear>, <exa loot>

I have <nick p worn backpack> and <nick b worn belt> and fixed my aliases/triggers accordingly, it just was... uncomfortable. Recently changed to the belt. Oh well!

If you want the pack to be first (aka the default) just drop your pack and pick it up again. It may have changed because of the order in which it was recovered on login. Whichever one has entered your inventory last ( OST recently) will be the one that is your "pack."

Oh indeed I can do that. Already getting used to the p/b/po formation though. Can't login recovery mess that up though? Will have to drop and get pack each time I guess.

Refer to your backpack as backpack and give a different label to your belt of pouches. For instance, mine is pbelt. So if I want to examine my worn backpack I have to <exa backpack> then if I want to examine my belt of pouches I <exa pbelt>

It gets much better when there's a pack lying on the ground, guess where all your items will go when you try to put them in pack.
Therefor, a very simple and easy thing to do is buy multiple packs on bazaar and label them, then always use label name instead of "pack" or "pouch".

put swords in mallorwep
put platemail in mallorarm

etc

To avoid that, since I don't have an Avenir pack and thus no labels, I use "worn backpack" in aliases triggers.

I couldjust show you where those packs are at a later time, work atm, but if you're awake later, they are stupidly practical.
