Compare loot by shape, stack size and confirmed value

The item database treats inventory space as a shape, not merely a number. A six-slot object may be two cells wide and three cells tall rather than a one-by-six strip, and that geometry changes whether it fits beside the gear already in a bag. TamasDB therefore displays width, height, occupied slots and a visual grid. This makes comparisons useful at the moment of packing instead of reducing every object to a price list that ignores real placement constraints.

Vendor value per slot is a simple carrying-efficiency metric: confirmed vendor value divided by the number of cells occupied by one item. Full-stack vendor value per slot adds the confirmed maximum stack size when an item can share the same footprint with identical copies. These values answer different questions. Single-item value per slot helps compare objects that are already on the ground; full-stack value per slot describes the theoretical efficiency of a complete stack. A partial stack should be judged from the quantity actually carried, not from the full-stack headline.

Neither metric is a live market price, a drop probability or a command to pick the item up. A lower-density quest object may matter more than an expensive collectible, and a large object may be worth carrying when spare cells would otherwise remain empty. Conversely, a high total price can hide weak space efficiency. Use the value fields together with item category, stack status, quest links, merchant relationships and the shape of the remaining bag space.

TamasDB only calculates these comparisons when the required fields are confirmed. Missing price, footprint or stack data is shown as unavailable rather than replaced by a guessed value. The item list can support a first pass, while an item detail page should answer what it is used for and where it connects. For an actual packing decision, the inventory planner can compare a set of known items on a grid, but it still cannot account for personal risk tolerance, unfinished quests or an unknown player-to-player market.
