  • If you don't have premium lockers, your locker location is just listed as `locker`. If you don't have a paid subscription, you need to run the script at each locker that has contents with the locker open.

Default Query

After you've run ;invdb or ;invdb refresh all on each of the characters you want to load:

Example with my bamboo-shaped gold vasculum:

>look in my vasc
Fashioned from a thin sheet of gold, the cylindrical tube is painted vivid jade and chartreuse and decorated with origami cranes caught mid-flight.  Two small doors allow access to the interior, which appears to be filled with small compartments to store foraged items.  A small sleeve on the side is perfect for housing a pair of snips, while a tiny hook on the opposite side has room for a pair of gloves.  You quickly read the chalk-scribbled note on the lid:

1.  a trollear mushroom (2 specimens)
2.  a sprig of Imaera's Lace (1 specimen, which is ready for plucking)

>glance
You glance down to see a bamboo-shaped gold vasculum in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.

>;invdb +boh bamboo-shaped gold vasculum
invdb: bamboo-shaped gold vasculum added to the boh list

>;invdb-test refresh
...

>;invdb q item loc=hands char=xanlin

Items designated as a bag of holding type item are typed 'boh' in invdb.

>;invdb q item type=boh

Items inside certain item stacking containers may be assigned a new type in invdb, such as ore, specimen, or gemstone.

>;invdb q item type=specimen
