Container

General term for any item or object that holds other items.

Pointers for opening (objects):

• [[file:pointer gear on 32x32.png]] in range to open [[File:pointer gear off 32x32.png]] out of range

• items that players can equip, that can contain other items at will.

• These objects appear in the world and can be looted. Once they are empty, they disappear.
• chest objects that can be found around the world and looted. Some may be locked. These include various footlockers, baskets, and so on.
• Ore veins and Herb objects, which require some level of Mining or Herbalism skill (respectively) in order to open.

• These items are gained in various ways. As with lootable objects, once they are empty, they disappear.
• Lockboxes that are acquired as loot, and Junkboxes that are gained by pickpocketing. These items are always locked.
• Reward bags, such as the Satchel of Helpful Goods, Sack of Frosty Treasures, and the Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest.
• Quests sometimes use containers when there are multiple quest items associated with the quest.

• These objects contain some amount of a single item. While the pointer for opening these containers is the same as that for other containers (eg chests), you are not presented with a list of items that you can choose to get; you simply get one of the item the object has.
• The water tub objects that appear on the ground during the Hallow's End event, which are looted for water to put out fires.
• The Brewfest Keg that appears when the Brewfest Pony Keg item is used, which are looted for a sample of Brewfest brew.
• "Group Consumable items" such as the Big Berry Pie and the Lovely Cake. These items have a limited number of uses before they are exhausted and disappear. Lightwells and the mage table use the same mechanic.

• These are things that would be considered a container in the real world, but their contents are not represented separately from the item.
• The Water Bucket item that appears in your inventory when you loot the water tub. It holds water alright, but when you use the bucket, the bucket disappears from inventory.
• The and the items hold beer. When you drink (use) the stein, it transforms from a 'full of (beer type)' stein to an 'empty' stein.
• Some letters you can read, some you can't.
• Similarly, many quest items that are containers (like the Dark Iron Fanny Pack) are only considered in the context of the quest, and thus cannot be opened and examined.
