Congratulations, now the price of those things are going to crash, and people can bring dragon pickaxes into the wilderness without risking millions.

The toolbelt needed nerfing, and instead you buffed it.

Sadly, though, it seems as if I'm alone in opposing this.
Wish the community understood that making things too easy will hurt the game, just like how Lodestones severely hurt the usefulness of teleport spells and items.
I'm not gonna put my dragon tools on the belt...

totally agree

How would it hurt the prices of the dragon tools if they are leaving the game for good when you stick them on your belt? They'll probably see a rise in price if anything, nobody usually loses theirs, and loads of them will be gone so rarer items = higher prices.

Sad to see that once you put a tool in, you can never remove it. Poor planning, because it discourages friendly lending of high end skill items.
...remembers when you had to USE EACH AND EVERY FISH IN YOUR INVENTORY WITH A RANGE to cook them...

I disagree. A player can still keep a spare hatchet/pick for lending if they want to. I presume lent tools will be prohibited from being added to the borrower's belt.
As for not being able to remove it: It would kind of be nice to, but then having it unremovable means that players should consider carefully whether they put a high end tool in, or not. Do they just want it to skill with & keep it forever in their belt? Or do they want to be able to resell it later?

I think it will discourage the "flipping" and "merching" that's been atificialy over-inflating the prices of d-tools, and help keep them within a reasonable price range.
when i bought my d-hatchet they were a few hundred k, now they seem to be going for around 2-3 mil. I'd kind of wished I'd bought an extra back then so that I could've sold it now that they're high, but then with this update I won't have to worry about needing to get an over-priced replacement anyway. So, to me, the pro's outweigh the con's by quite a fair bit. What we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly, it's dearness only that gives everything it's value.
