Cosmetic Box Alterations

[Callum 134]

As someone with an average amount of Cosmetic Boxes opened, and being an Ironman, I can tell you now that a lot of the rewards are ridiculous. The concept of paying $2 for Elegant or Villager items is quite absurd given that most of these items have an alch value of roughly 100 gold. Whilst this is all a gamble, my personal view on this is that for the monetary value against the general and common rewards obtained, the items are slightly lacklustre and could use an improvement. The purpose of this thread is to throw a few ideas into the hat on both how to improve the boxes in their current state, but also additional items to make these more worthwhile.

NOTE: As an Ironman, a portion of these changes will be directed towards Ironman accounts over Ecoscape accounts.

Alch Value Increases:

As stated above, for the sheer quantity of Villager and Elegant items that you receive, the boxes are currently not worth the investment. Whilst it's not so bad the first time you obtain these items as now you have that Fashionscape, getting multiples of them become a pain. My suggestion here is to increase the alch value so that at least when you get this duplicate rubbish, at least you can get a few gold coins. Now I'm not saying throw these in the 100M+ range, but something worthwhile so that they're not complete trash.

So as the majority of the Cosmetic Box loot came from Master Clue Caskets on OSRS, a few more will be included in here alongside additional items from other parts of Ely.

Box Usability:

A simple one here. As we know, Ironman accounts can't trade with anybody and these boxes are the only way of obtaining specific cosmetics. I'm asking for a system where you can select the Use option on the Cosmetic Boxes on another player and it will give a dialogue box confirming (with the ability to turn it off of couse), to transfer boxes purchased from Ecoscape to Ironman accounts. 

This feature would be especially handy to the Event Managers for any events that they host regarding boxes, so that Ironman accounts don't have to wait for an Administrator to login to claim them.

If anybody has any additional suggestions, feel free to leave them below and have the community vote on their favourites.

YES YES YES, Currenty the boxes are damn right awful for their price, so anything that would change them would be amazing

I'm all for adding more stuff to the boxes and make them worthwhile, but I can't support being able to "trade" them from an eco account to an iron man.

We redid iron man with the purpose of "standing alone" and if you have an eco account that's filthy rich and you can purchase loads of boxes from other players it takes away from that.

Now I know these boxes are from donating and all that, and there really is no harm in your suggestion but in my opinion iron men shouldn't get any help.

I can see your point in this. My recommendation to this would then be to adjust the privileges of the Event Managers exclusively so that they could handle these boxes at the end of the given event if an Ironman was to win them.

Definitely support this. The risk for reward ratio on these boxes is horrendous.

Just spit-balling here, but what if a super rare category was added that included all of the previous exclusive monthly items.

That's a really nifty idea, would like to hear more opinions on this.

But on topic: I been slowly adding items we have available to do so into the cosmetic boxes from this specific list, as you can see a few are crossed out, that was from me. Alot of these items are currently not even functional/available in our cache, but will slowly work on adding what we can.
