I've just finished my new website called The Dragon's egg. There, you will be able to order boxes online so you can work your lockpicking skills.

Check it out

I'm sure the price will go down once he can hunt Gargs easyer, but right now I agree.

How about pricing them like master lockpicks? 4 gold kronars per box. Because I only made alittle over 10 plat on 36 lockpicks.

It is true, as the hunt becomes easier the price will drop.

Yeah... I'd have to agree that the prices are rather outrageous. It doesn't seem to me that anyone picking gob boxes has 2-5 plat to waste just for one pack of them. The website is a cute idea I guess, but is getting a pack of boxes really that hard that someone needs to pay for it? Am I just being naive?

I know plenty of people who'd happily get boxes for someone free if asked nicely. Not me though, so don't ask. ;)

If you really need boxes badly, move to ratha, hang out in the bank and/or green and wear a gweth. About every half hour, someone will want a pack of any combination of sprite, swain, and hatchling boxes opened. Even when no-one is asking, you can go kill these things yourself to get boxes (all 3 drop them pretty often).

Well, most CAN go get their own boxes and I encourage those that would be kind enough to give them away. But there are those that can't really get out and hunt that often like clerics, traders, and empaths. I have some great customers from that demographic. But this business might be a waste of time for say the barbarian...see my point?

The last two I'll agree, and even add moon mages to the list. I know a couple of moon mages that would often buy a pack of rock troll boxes from Heroiklim a couple of years ago when their survival reqs first rolled out. Not sure how much of a market there is now, but when you have the skills to make and sell gweths, why waste the time hunting when selling one gweth will net you enough gold to buy the 13 boxes.

Clerics on the other hand... any cleric that cares about circling will be spending more time in the field than in triage. 4 ranks of primary weapon per circle isn't east to learn from classes.
