no you cant remove things from bags without destroying it all or unless your putting itno a different bag. why are you trying to do this just curious
One thing I do is experiment with herbs and seeds to see if there are any usable as bait in traps. I assume that a basket of 16 pounds of seeds/flowers, for instance, would not properly be considered to be bait?
Also, there are quests to supply village sages with the various herbs and, if I've already stored them in containers, it forces me to hunt them down again in the wild. I'm not even sure if the sage would accept herbs measured in pounds.
