So I've only gone and screwed up again. I bought the VR16 lockbox on my lower character. I thought, "No worries, I'll go bank it. No harm done". IT WON'T LET ME BANK IT. WHY???
Basically you're allowing people to buy these boxes knowing they can't open them or even bank them. Here's an idea.. just don't let us buy it until we're the right level. This is ridiculous.
Here is a picture of the offending item.

If you can't open or bank this item, there is absolutely no point in letting people buy it in the first place.

    Nope. Can't open it, can't put it in the bank. So it's just sitting there taking up space.

    it says bound... must bound equipment can't be stored in bank or traded/sold, only the bound armor can be stored in bank as far as I know

    Lol I'm sorry to hear that. This is my second time so far. The first time it happened I got so agitated I took a week off work and grind to VR16 just so I could open the damn box. I'm not going through that again, but I'm damn tempted.

    There's account bound and character bound. ZoS like to keep us guessing which is which :wink: A lot of BoE items can be stored in the bank, even once it's bound.

    Funny you say that. I remember Brian mentioning in the last ESO Live that character bound basically means account bound in their game. So why I can't store it in my bank I really don't know.

    Collectibles are "bound" too, aren't they? There needs to be some clarification before we equip, buy etc....

    Not too sure tbh. Haven't tried banking them, but things like trophies bank fine, so we know it's not limited to just equipment

    Containers can't be put in the bank.

    Now if the OP could open the container, the items could probably be put in the bank.


    But obviously if s/he could open the container, this thread wouldn't exist.

    Collectibles and trophy fish don't bank anymore :( they are the ridiculous kind of bound like said container is.. Can't bank.

    It is pretty ridiculous they would allow you to buy it and can't open it.

    Yeh luckily the char was V11, but I wasn't planning on leveling him to v16 anymore. Obviously he's v16 now :p still I hated it, just wanted to open that boxes I bought. I don't understand why they can't be banked

    ^Pretty much this. I have to say, though, that I had no idea you couldn't open those lockboxes if you buy ones that are above your level. So I'd agree that it's silly that you're able to buy them at all if you can't either open them or transfer them to a different character. Not being able to bank a container is expected. Not being able to open a container you are able to buy is just crazy IMO.

    I had a quest-starting item (a journal of a bandit sorcerer in Rivenspire) that was "too high a level for me to use", and I couldn't even bank it...luckily I didn't have to get all the way to VR16 to use it, but I did feel your pain for a little bit.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    If you can't open or bank this item, there is absolutely no point in letting people buy it in the first place.

    Awhile back I bought 4 of the purple VR16 armor lockboxes, only to discover the same thing. My Support ticket resulted in a generic email saying my issue was resolved without even mentioning what the issue was. My follow up to that resulted in a "it's working as intended, there is no problem here". Needless to say I ain't impressed. As many have said - if we can neither bank nor open the container, just don't let us buy it... or at the least give a warning about it prior to purchase.

    100% agree. Even a pop-up saying "Your character level isn't high enough to open this reward. Continue with purchase?" I would imagine implementing something, anything, would be fairly simple and save a lot of support tickets.

    i thought the same, but was told you need to 'open' them, then they can be banked.
