Water jar is marginally better than Waterskin

[Xuhybrid]

For the cost of materials and height in the tech tree, you'd think you'd be able to take more than 1 sip from it right? Wrong. It's basically a waterskin that weights 5 instead of 0.3, that's 16 times as heavy, and it doesn't leak. The only thing you get for 4.7 weight is non leaking water. This thing needs to hold more than 100 water. Seriously.

120 Stone and 60 Keratin is pretty ridiculous for how llittle of an upgrade this is.

If these stats are true, I'd have to agree that it sounds very underpowered. What if it's hot and you're deep into the forest? D:

[Umbra]

Yeah this is a good point. it should have 3 - 5 sips.

[Xuhybrid]

I'd even be happy with 2-3 sips. I don't mind an additional weight cost for the convenience but 1 sip really isn't going to cut it :)

No leaking is a huge difference. Sure, if you're near water it doesn't matter since you can make a quick trip to refill your waterskins. When you're out in a cave or just away from water having 3 full non leaking jars is a godsend.

With Hatebringer on this one.
Being high in the mountains or in a cave, having a non-perishable source of water, no matter how small it may be, becomes incredibly important to have around you.

That is an absolutely obscene crafting cost...

[VbHD]

Yeah that is kinda stupid it only gives one sip.

I agree with both sides on this one.. Conclusion: It should stay the same in stats, but have 200 units (unlike the waterskins 100). Seems like a fair deal for all parts, right?
Let's be real here, it's not a bottle but a -jar- of water, weighing 5 instead of 0.3. 2 sips is fair and not OP at all..

You dont get it guys, you can have a waterskin and a jar full at the same time. Its a second water source.

[Xuhybrid]

Yeah either that or lower the weight. Something has to be done at least.

I think we get that you can have both at the same time, it's just a matter of them being that far apart on the tech tree. And maybe also that it's "supposed" to feel like an upgrade, idunno..
I think many people feel like having 3, maybe even 4 sources of water on them at any given time, and when you have 20 weight units of simply water on you.. well, it's a bit heavy for a mere 4 sips of water, when it's a fifth of your total carryweight (assuming you didn't level up your total carryweight that is).

I've just got to crafting water jars and it's a huge disappointment. Way too heavy for what they do.

[saice]

I would have to disagree. While I would like to see the cost come down some the whole not leaking is a god send for any trip inland.

[Mansen]

Water skins shouldn't leak in the first place - Jars should be placeables for long term storage in your house.

Realistically.

Maybe it gives more water value over the water skin? So it would fill your thirst more? I haven't gotten it so I don't know but that's the only logical sounding thing to me, if not then it does sound like it sucks.
