Default Too Much Information: Bard Instruments & Bags

Bard instruments and bags are currently displaying a non-classic amount of information.

In classic bard instruments wouldn't display their skill modifier. Like Haste %, this was something that players had to figure out themselves.

Example:

Description: "Stringed Instrument. +9 dex, +15 char, +9 agil. Adds approximately 20% to string songs. Wt. 0.6. magic, lore, no drop item. Found on the Maestro of Rancor in the Plane of Hate. (Submitted by Shada Bladetorm)"

Bags should be displaying pretty much no information. Specifically, they shouldn't display Size and Weight Reduction %.

Example:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Description: "8 slot pack item which reduces weight of items place inside it by 20%. Sometimes given when completing the Nillipus quest. Also found on Rathyl in Najena. (Submitted by Milney)"

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"6 slot container for small items that reduces weight approximately 75%. Holds only small items. Dropped by goblin torturer in Solusek's Eye."

Some items show a weight and some don't, I assume weight wasn't displayed for awhile but was added at some point.

Screenshots are from October 2000 to May 2001

Bars instruments certainly should not display their modifier. Just "Stringed Instrument".

Bags I don't think should display what is shown in the first picture but rather the second picture. Googling around showed large soiled bag and a few others showing what the second picture shows.

Something related, but not mentioned. Items should not show slot at all. See this for example:

Forgot to mention Slot, that shouldn't be displayed either.

There's a few screenshots that don't show weight, seems like that was an early change. We're probably past that point.

So, to recap:

Instruments shouldn't display Modifier.
Bags shouldn't display Weight Reduction %.
Bags shouldn't display what Size fits inside.
No item should display Slot.
No item should display Size.
