Default lab vault upgraded?

How the laboratory item vault evolved from dominions I? Specifically, how many slots do we have to store items?
reminder : the restriction on 14 slots led to two things :

1- having to store excess items on placeholders leaders, which was bothersome somehow.
2- item bombing abuse : most often than not it was not voluntary from the player doing that, but still a pain. Is this fixed?


Lastly, do we have a tool which can tell us where our items are on our leaders? A search box, or a table listing items possessed on all leaders? try to find your staff of storm in a big game, you will understand the problem...

thanks in advance for the answer.

The lab has been enlarged quite a bit. It now has 50 slots and that should be more slots than you have unused items plus some more.

The priorities are still the same, but surely you should be able to spare some slots for gifts as well.

Good questions....and the answers are?
no answer is an anwser...

human behavior 101 : when a question is ignored, then the answer is no/we dont know/we dont feel its of importance/we wont change our mind.

choose one

for you and me I suppose. I believe there is no tools for searching where is located a given item (artefact) or class of item (the others) as of now. I was just throwing the question into the air, in case one of the dev would concur it would be of interest to have such a tool.

Correct, there is no search function for magic items and you cannot deconstruct magic items either.
