What about, as an additional option, being able to get them as a semi-rare drop while fishing? Like, instead of a fish you pull a storage container (with some fish inhabitants) out of the water.

We already have those gunny sacks after all, so why not add some more former ship equipment gone overboard?

It would be nice if there were more ways of getting them, and the style of coffer or chest was reflective of the way it was obtained, so a chest from fishing had a nautical theme. One from treaure hunting could look like a chest of gold and jewels etc.

I am excited about the storage boxes. But I only really poked my nose in here to say this:

I am a new-ish player. I don't have a character with CP yet. I do not PVP. My highest level of crafting (I think) is woodworking on one character at 22. So I haven't gotten to master anythings yet. Writ or otherwise.

But I did want to say this: Each day when I start playing I deposit all but 500-1000 (depends on how I'm feeling) gold in the bank. This is when I start playing. The day before I would have done my low-level writs (I do all of the crafting on one character) some questing, some running around gathering (at which point I find chests and thieves troves to loot as well) and some "Oooh! What's that?" exploring by running in a random direction. And maybe a dungeon if it pops for my little DPS-y self.

I also do things like craft and breakdown items. I will, when darting through town, also do my horses and buy bag space or even bank space (though it's getting harder to do) with the money my character has collected during the day -- the money she has on her, I don't take it from the bank.

Why am I giving you a laundry list of what I do? Why does this possibly matter?

Well, because at level 23 my little Argonian can make 12k a day without selling things on the guild store at all.

So... That said, as someone who hasn't been here a long time, who doesn't have skill or resources built up, I don't think 200k for an item that has taken some players months to be able to get a chance at accessing is ridiculous.

YMMV of course, but I don't think it will be too hard to save up for, if people are focused.

We recently had to remove a great number of off-topic and baiting comments. Because this thread has derailed quite a bit, we are going to close it down.
