SafeBox Junk

Today I was standing in the Rawl bank and a safebox appeared. And I said to myself, "Meh" and logged out.

Why? Because there is never anything worthwhile in them. A small amount of gold and one or two blue items that need to be sold to a fence (i.e. nothing "sellable" on the market).

Add in the fact that it sometimes results in a bounty and I felt like it wasn't even worth the time to open.

Thoughts? Has anyone found anything worthwhile in these?

    Agree, as well as pickpocketing, also legerdemain levels away to fast.

    I still like to get them when I can, because I like the challenge of potentially being caught (particularly at banks), unlike the ones you can sometimes find in peoples' houses, which often are far, far too easy to get to without getting caught.

    As for finding worthwhile items, not really. I think there should be a higher chance of purples from strongboxes. If there already is, it should be even higher, especially considering the risk involved.

    As for legerdemain leveling too quickly, I disagree only because there really isn't much of anything worthwhile in the skill set, so it doesn't feel like it necessarily *should* take long to level. If there were more useful passives in there, I'd feel like it should be more of a challenge, but as it stands, I think it's fine.
