Just a little poll, since I found current house storage inconvenient (I'd rather they put the space together once we acquire new boxes), so I wonder how many of you have used house storage frequently?

    I've been finding them quite handy to store all of those master writs and surveys which usually clog up my bags :smile:

    Anything I want to save but don't have immediate (within the next week-month) of using goes in housing storage. One toon stays AFK in a house with access to all of them (and the banker assistant).

    Easy and convenient.

    i just noticed last night that my skyshard hunting's been paying off and i've filled my combat passives, so i dumped into tempering and did my first 178 vouchers' worth of writs. soon as i get home from work i'm gonna finish up and get my first storage box. then i can empty out a mule and delete and restart that character slot with a fighter. i'm pumped.

    I use/have them, but I forget I dumped a bunch of stuff in them and never really go back to see what’s in them. Kind of like my old mules.

    i'd love to use them but the cost vs what you get is asinine. I can make an alt either free or for 1500 crowns & start with 60 inv where as i can buy a 60 inv storage for 2000 crowns or 200 writs.

    I have them but I don't visit them frequently. I find they're most useful for stuff I want to squirrel away that I know I won't need for a long while, if ever, but need to keep around, such as if a bad set gets a buff later on.

    I just have the one from leveling right now, but I use it a lot as a means of transferring items between characters without juggling my bank storage.

    My storage boxes are full so I guess I am using housing storage all the time. Can't remember what I put in there though. Should probably go check. Might save me from grinding gear for a couple of characters I decided to start playing again.

    I've got the one you get handed to you. It's a good option. In fact, it's such a good option that when I can, I'll be getting the other available options, then I'll rename them to reflect what they're holding.

    I have at least one girl visiting the coffer every day. Usually more like 5 of 9.... It's not like they're somewhere inaccessible after all.... I just use the five free inn rooms so far!

    Having the space combined would definitely be more efficient for me. I have a hard time remembering what items I put in which chest.

    I have all of the storage boxes. The small ones I store things like jewelry to decon, recipies, surveys,plans treasure maps and glyphs. Big boxes have purple gear to decon, pvp stuff, lowbie stuff and stuff that I have nowhere else to put.

    I have them all and use them. I bought some with writs and some with crowns. I had a pile of crowns from sub and thought to myself "what would improve my ESO life the most" and the answer was getting rid of mules. I hate logging in/out, and I never remember what is on those mules.

    Two boxes full of monster helms (one magicka, one stam), one full of magicka DPS gear, one for support gear, and the rest for PvP stuff.

    My bank is way overstocked from when I had eso+. So I use my two house boxes often, as the new storage.

    With ESO+ and a max level bank I have so much carp saved for later, that I use the chest for thinks I want to pass from character to character immediately. That way I do have to search or scroll through nearly as many items. Plus I can just port to whatever house and I'm off and running.

    Nope.

    I have no way of getting them since I don't craft or PvP, and those are the only two ways to obtain them (they aren't tradable). I guess I could trade gold for the crown store versions now.

    They are also bugged, resulting in all your items being deleted at random (there is a post about this almost daily on forums/Reddit). ZOS requires you to name all the items that were deleted in order for them to generate them for you (good luck remembering them). Here is one post from yesterday. They simply aren't reliable enough to store valuable items in, so even if I had a way of getting them, I wouldn't use them.

    So much this.

    I would have bought all the coffers with crowns since I have enough left, but NOPE, not going to take any risk on my items.

    Even recently another thread here in the bug section showed up with no answer from ZOS (of course).

    I asked in that very thread for someone to give assurance in case the items get lost to have them restored ASAP at least and with no fuss with customer support but no one answered to that as well. So I'm not buying.

    I wrote:

    "Please, if anyone can comment on this would be very appreciated.

    In case of missing items, will they be restored with no fuss as it should be since it's a bug and not our fault?

    I don't ask if the bug is resolved because there are people reporting it so it's clearly not resolved, even if can rarely happens or under rare circumstances.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom "

    I really don't have that time nor the will to fight/beg support in case something disappear from coffers. Too bad because it's an awesome feature I really wanted, but not worth for me if the bug is still around.

    Nearly maxed on 7 out of 8 storage containers.

    The other one is half full.

    For me, it’s mostly crown store and regular furnishings, end game weapons (e.g. vMA), and leveling gear.

    Obviously most of us would use storage. Who in their right mind would not. Granted, I store items I am not going to grab every day but the storage is great.

    Most of the other answers in the poll are clearly not needed. It is either yes, no or do not have any boxes.

    Wow, is this seriously still happening? I remember that it was (supposedly)patched, hell I even tested the fix by depositing a few crap items in the coffers with a character and then proceeding to delete him and the items were still there after that.

    I know that there are some bugs that keep resurfacing every once in a while, but come on ZOS, do I have to keep a screenshot of everything I have in those coffers just in case they magically decide to disappear?

    Are my items even safe if I don't delete the last character that interacted with the coffer? because afaik that was the supposed action that triggered the bug the last time.

    I was used to having separate housing storage in LOTRO so going to another location besides the bank or another room just doesn't bother me. I'm liking having lots of little caches, I can put different stuff in different chests.

    The question was whether you had been using house storage FREQUENTLY but unfortunately ‘frequently’ was not defined and therefore the results of the poll are meaningless.

    I suspect the reality is much like irl - that we store a lot of junk and paperwork (maps and surveys) with the intention of doing something with it ‘one day’.....
