Stockrooms and Items

Written by: Morgfyre, the Legion

The legitimate use of stockrooms is to store items to be sold, and the
reason items do not decay in them is to help facilitate the sale of
these items without penalizing shopkeepers if they don't sell quickly.

With that in mind, stockrooms have been used to store personal use items
with no intent of being sold. This has several negative side-effects:
mainly, a huge number of cheaply made items being stored increases our
database size (which could have eventual consequences of game lag), but
also some cases of poor sportsmanship with regards to other players'
items (ie, storing enemy dark nest eggs solely to prevent summoning a
new one).

Due to these issues, and that storing such items does not align with the
purpose of stockroom non-decay, many of these non-sellable items will
begin to decay in stockrooms. These include, but are not limited to:

- Tarot cards
- Stealth masks
- Mushroom spores
- Crow cloaks
- Black Nest eggs

New instances of these items will begin to decay immediately, but there
will be a grace period for currently existing items.
