[ 1] A tuft of cactus needles - a brand new small plant treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 2] A desert snake's tongue - a brand new small flesh treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 3] A dried desert lily - a brand new small plant treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 4] Some desert willow roots - a brand new small wood treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 5] A desert lizard's tail - a brand new small scale treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 6] A bit of sand-worn quartz - a brand new small stone treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.
[ 7] A shard of petrified wood - a brand new small amber treasure
Price: 1 platinum, 3 gold, 5 silver.


This looks really ugly to me. What if we structured it this way:

Quote:
[ 1] (1,3,5) A tuft of cactus needles - a brand new small plant treasure
[ 2] (1,3,5) A desert snake's tongue - a brand new small flesh treasure
[ 3] (1,3,5) A dried desert lily - a brand new small plant treasure
[ 4] (1,3,5) Some desert willow roots - a brand new small wood treasure
[ 5] (1,3,5) A desert lizard's tail - a brand new small scale treasure
[ 6] (1,3,5) A bit of sand-worn quartz - a brand new small stone treasure
[ 7] (1,3,5) A shard of petrified wood - a brand new small amber treasure


Of course, this would be confusing to n00bies, which is why it should be an auto option, but if the obsidian is colored black, platinum is white, gold is bright yellow, copper is brown, I believe it would be easier to understand.

As long as it is an auto option, I think this is actually a good idea.

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who thinks the new list format is horrendous.

I prefer it.

So you could leave it toggled.

I like the proposed suggestion.

I like the proposed suggestion too, but I would add that in addition to making it an auto option, denoting currency would also be a good idea:

[ 1] (1p,3g,5s) A tuft of cactus needles - a brand new small plant treasure
[ 2] (1p,3g,5s) A desert snake's tongue - a brand new small flesh treasure
[ 3] (1p,3g,5s) A dried desert lily - a brand new small plant treasure


Maybe it's just me, but I'm horrible at remembering which order they go in, and if there's an obsidian slot or not.

Why not just leave everything in copper? A newbie can figure out how to use a bank, and has to deposit 3400 to deposit 3 platinums and 4 gold. Why not make the store listed item 135 copper? For 1 gold 3 silver and 5 copper?
