The grey umbrella is 2 points for charm but the silver handled cane is worth 5. I already have one cane but I was wondering if you could have two silver handled canes or if your only allowed one. I just to see if any one knew before I tried it.

No, I don't think so, reda. We USED to be able to have two of the same, but then Ben changed it. Try it now.

I have not tried this, but I was searching through some older threads, looking for something else, and I found a large discussion on this. We should not be able to do this any more. Infact, when the change first occured, there were cameras disappearing and all sorts of stuff. Did not see anything referring to it being changed back, just the clitches being fixed. (Dr, I hope your patient gets well soon.):)

Actually, (light bulb goes off) I just realized you are not in an agency. As long you do not plan on using a agency locker (you wouldn't be able to get it back), my understanding is that yes, you could hold 2 of the same item. It is the locker that rotates the items and no longer allows you to hold 2 of the same item. (If my understanding of the Sleuth Admin post are correct. There was a lot of confusion at that time too.) Any one who was here at the time remember, Jstkdn maybe? I'll see if I can find it again. It was pretty buried.

It was the locker that allowed one to hold two of something. If you were holding a very expensive perfume, for example, and tried to buy another one, you couldn't. But if you set one in the locker, bought another one, and then got the first one out of the locker, you could hold two. It was the locker that let people get around the rule about holding two of something, and now that Ben has fixed this there should not be any way at all to do it anymore. So if anyone is still holding two of something, it is because they used the lockers to do it before the change was made and have not put the items away again since.

I HAD to try it after that! You can't take a second item if you are already holding one like it - not as loot OR from an agency locker. If you try from a locker it will just swap back the first one. (otherwise, if you are taking different kinds of items it juggles - new item to one hand, older to other hand, oldest to locker).

Isn't it great that we can all juggle now, though?

And it didn't even cost any skill points to learn!
