    Hi all! Dear developers, i bought Artisan Box of Plenty for 190,000 igg hoping for NORMAL resources (this is Royal Artisan Pledge reward, right?), but first time it gives to me 1 garlic, next week - 1 cotton... You kidding or what? I propose to remove low-quality resources from those obtained from the chests, as well as to make this chest cumulative - so as not to click on it once a week, but so that it works according to the same principle as ingame rewards - it must be openable and and you can take what you need from there. And every real world week a new random resource would appear there. This is rare and expensive reward and when i bought it i hoping the rewards will correspond to the money spent, but having received garlic and cotton, it seemed to me very much that I was grossly deceived! I really hope that you listen me and fix this misconception as soon as possibly. May be you could add a chance to get rare patterns? Thank you.

    Even with the price of silver ore these days finding one in the box still leaves the name ironic.

    perhaps it could be changed to act like a gathering node, providing a chance (unrelated to skill) to have bonus materials and XP

    Or just leave it the way it is and change the name so it isn't so deceiving.

    Artisan box of practically nothing

    I have always wondered about that box since the name and functionality is truly an oxymoron. Is it meant to be a joke or have the times changed so much that the value of what comes out of it has become insignificant over the years due to how the game has changed.

    My solution would be to change its functionality into that of an orange supply bundle. Superman @Elgarion can make it happen ;)

    There was never a time when that thing made sense. It has always been a completely useless item, and basically just a rare decoration.

    The value of items received hasn't changed, I think the name is due to its recurring nature so over time you build up free stuff even then it's still meh.

    I just counted all the box has yielded since persistence:
    • 14 x Animal Hide
    • 5 x Black Pearl
    • 7 x Copper Ore
    • 17 x Corpse Wax
    • 15 x Garlic
    • 8 x Gold Ore
    • 8 x Granite Block
    • 14 x Iron Ore
    • 24 x Mandrake Root
    • 17 x Nightshade
    • 1 x Obsidian Chip
    • 14 x Raw Cotton
    • 18 x Serpent Scales
    • 15 x Silver Ore
    • 15 x Spider Silk
    • 13 x Sulfurous Ash

    You can make out as a bandit on this. Put it on your vendor for 500,000 gold.

    This item was useless even when it was new. One garlic, or one cotton and etc. was never worth a double click. Sometimes you wonder what the designers were thinking.

    No, this not the same. Seeds have functionality. If you mean the cost - i agree, this seeds is too expensive, but if you got eternal seeds for free - this is good.

    not really. a plain garlic seed, if you hit all the waterings, will give you 16 garlic per plant. you'll never get more than 2 from an eternal seed.

    Thanks, I didn't know that. Then this is even more deception than Artisan Box of Plenty, these seeds are not only expensive but completely useless. If there was a chance to get more of these seeds when harvesting, I would still understand, but since it is designed now, this is just a mockery!
