I have a couple of ideas that would make the armor boxes more interesting and would give them a purpose in the game and make them worth the extra materials it takes to craft them while still being mostly for people who want to buy a full set of armor at once.
- Include a seventh item in the box. It could be a random item with a chance of being more valuable than the extra crafting materials it takes to make the box. If the boxes were made so that the armor inside them opens up soulbound then the seventh item could even be more valuable on average than the extra materials. People would get a bonus for buying their armor set all at once and having it open souldbound would prevent people from farming the boxes.
- Have the armor inside equipped with a random rune set (6 runes of the same type). This isn’t that different than the first suggestion and would also mean that the armor opens up soulbound. People would even get a chance to find a valuable set that they could salvage for a profit, but on average it wouldn’t be something that people could farm because they would still be mostly paying for the soulbound armor itself.
- An even simpler idea, let the boxes cost less to create than crafting the individual armor components, but have all of the armor inside soulbound when it is open. This would work too but I think the other ideas would be more fun.
i personally like all of these suggestions, as it stands it takes WAY too much to craft the armor boxes and isn’t work the materials you put into the box
I actually roughly tried to count resource usage for items (for armor boxes)
and compare it to what wiki says they cost to make, and guess what?
…the armor boxes uses the same, if not less resources.
Though it seems you have to get the recipe drop to be able
to make those armor boxes …wonder when or where they drop from.
