BUNDLE

This command is used to combine single items into large bundles, thus making them easier to organize and manipulate.

The maximum number of arrows or bolts in a bundle is 100.  Some skins just can't be bundled (myklian scales, massive troll king hides). The maximum number of skins in a bundle varies with the creature/skin.  Herbs are always a maximum of 50 bites in a bundle.
