Where does the "metal box" come from?

**kitiara** · 23rd December 2007, 09:15 PM

Hey all -

Does anyone know where the "metal box" comes from?

I think way back in the day they were stealable in town shops. Is there any way to get them now (besides finding them for sale)?

Thanks!

do you mean the gold ones?

You used to get one when you where co-owned to a house pre AOS you could not un lock them or move them but if a House IDOCed they where in the loot. I aso think there was a bug Post AOS they they where in the moving chest when they where IDOCed.

Yep the gold ones - thanks, spree!

The reason I ask is, I only have one and have always wanted more. LA seems a bit high priced for them compared to other shards, but it makes sense since LA probably didn't exist when the metal boxes were available, so the only ones here were probably transferred over by a vet.

Was curious if there was any other modern way to get them (therefore maybe not justifying the high prices on LA).

Thanks!

If a house collapses with a Moving Crate, then each metal box falls to the ground with those items inside. At least that is how it used to work a couple years ago.

metal boxes were the moving crate items, I think 'Strong Boxes' are the original co-owner boxes Spree was referring to?...

kit you can also get one when you complete the dreadhorn quest. reward will be in one of the "strong boxes".
