The Case of the Missing Strongbox

Post by onemoregenius »

So there I was, absentmindedly moving things around in my bank box, when I decided I needed to drop my strongbox to free up some space. I log in today and realize, I'm missing my precious strongbox! Ya know? The one with all my cool stuff in it, like ointments, essences, oh, and all my EDs! Yea. That strongbox.

Anyway, I dropped it by the Spirits of the Totem guild house beekeeper. I wanted to throw up this plea that if anyone happen to come across it and pick it up, would you let me know?? I'll even reward you from my small pile of EDs!

I realize this is a long shot, but can't hurt to ask. Thanks Excelsior!

You can of course reply here or I am Xalvador in game.

WOW, this sucks. I hate when something like this happens. I really do hope you find your strong box. If I hear anyone mention anything of such I will let you know.

If you dropped it and no one came across it, the item decayed. Unfortunately I do not know if a decayed box of items can count for backup if so you can send a ticket to staff for an item retrieve. Perhaps you may still get your items back :)

See this page for more info: http://www.uoex.net/codex/services/recovery

Hope it works, good luck!

I'm working under the assumption that it decayed. But thought it was at least worth asking if anyone came across it. Thanks for your responses!

An idea for future reference, you can store ed's, ointments, gold etc in the [exex Just deposit them in an exex box located near most banks (and in many player's houses)
- - In game name:: Simply Delicious - -
Find my HUGE Rune LIbrary
- Main Floor Housegates
- Bottom SE corner, look for the black and white housegate tile (looks like a QR code you can scan)
Rune displayed @TC -- Far West Wall: Simply's

That is a great reminder! I always forget that I can use exex to store stuff even after all these years lol

you should do a recovery the maximum charge is 200 ed and just the stronger box alone is worth 100 ed

The only problem is that the strongbox held my ED and according to the codex I need ED in my bank box to complete the recovery. A catch 22 if I ever heard one...

If 20 EUR donation is not an option then you can always try pawning something valuable for a loan and rebuy it after you get your stuff back.

Thanks for the offers. +C actually messaged saying he'll try to recover it, just couldn't do it right then. So I'm thinking he's gonna be able to get me sorted. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your reply Loni! It was actually recovered by +C a while ago.
