I recall some items on live that were favored by monks. I believe they were called coin purses or something like that. Basically, they reduced the weight of coins on your character by a percentage.
I think it would be cool to implement coin purses into the emu if it is possible. I don't really know the specifics offhand about what item settings would be used for that, but 13th floor may be of some use.
Here is a list of some coin purses, which I assume are the items I was thinking of:

As long as they have something special set on them so we can tell them apart from other bags, it shouldn't be too hard to implement. From looking at a few examples, the only thing I can see special is "bagtype". It seems that the coin purses are all set to bagtype 0. Other bags I looked at are set to type 1 or 5.
Bag of the Tinkerers (Bagtype 1)

Hand Made Backpack (Bagtype 5)

Frizznik's Endless Coin Purse (Bagtype 0)

Here is a list of known bagtypes from the wiki. It definitely isn't a complete list though:
Code:
o 2 = Quiver
o 9 = Alchemy Container
o 10 = Toolbox
o 11 = Books (for research)
o 12 = Mortar & Pestle
o 13 = Quest Related?
o 14 = Mixing Bowl
o 15 = Spit
o 16 = Sewing Kit
o 18 = Fletching Kit
o 19 = Brewing
o 20 = Jeweler's Kit
o 24 = Lexicon (wizard research?)
o 25 = Elemental Grimoire (mage research?)
o 26 = Books of Binding (necro research?)
o 27 = Enchanter research?
o 46 = Tackle Box (for fishing)
o 51 = Trader's Satchel (for Bazaar trading)
o 53 = Augmentation Sealer (for applying augments)
o 54 = Cooking
After doing some database searching, it seems that bag type 0 is for bags that also reduce the weight of coins. Assuming that I am not falsely remembering that as a feature on Live. I just did a database search for items with itemclass set to 1, bagtype set to 0 and bagwr not set to 0. This resulted in all of the coin purses and a few other purses that I assume serve the same purpose. The only bag that stood out from that search is this one:
Tailored Small Bag
http://eqitems.13th-floor.org/item.php?id=17047
I would be curious to see if this Tailored bag actually does have a 10% weight reduction benefit on EQLive. If so, it would be safe to assume that bagtype 0 is for coin weight reduction as well as the normal item weight reduction. And if that is the case, we could just check the main inventory slots for a bag with bagtype 0 when calculating player weight and then just reduce their weight by the amount set in the bagwr field.
As far as loot all, I believe that is an option with the new SoF client, but I am not at my EQ PC atm to check for sure. If so, I am sure it would be possible to code it in.
