Hi all!
Loving my Bard in Ashes, just hit level 11 for the first time the other day and thought "let's try this crate system everyone is talking about that is so good for money making!"
Watched a guide about how it works…was still a bit confused, but eventually got 2 green (uncommon) crates after finding the very hidden crate mount and decided to take my crates to Sea Hook from Joeva!
There's level 20-25 3 Star elites on the way…oh well, high-risk, high reward! I avoided all the mobs, got to Sea Hook…and it's an encampment so I can't find a citizen commodities vendor to sell my crates. Google search why I can't sell my crate and it says "encampments typically do not buy crates."
The problem: Crates are not explained very well in game AT ALL. The description of the crates in game is something like "sell to a commodities vendor at another settlement. Longer distances typically mean better prices." It doesn't say anything about "only tier x and above settlements have all the commodities vendors to buy your shipped crates."
Feedback: I know it's an alpha, but crates (while still an early iteration of the system) need a much better introduction, clearer tutorial on how to assemble them, and possibly be more rewarding? I've only run one so far and it failed because the vendor wasn't there, but 90+ silver per crate through max level (for now) mobs seems quite high risk/medium reward.
Anyone else have a similar experience with their first crate run? I know there are tutorials for crates (I watched one) but I still screwed up my first run because of how obtuse and under-explained the system is.
Thanks for letting me vent!
