Heynow Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am sorry if this has been covered before, but as there seems to be no search mechanism, I am posting my question. I would like to know the difference between the Premium Storage Box and Premium Storage Case you can get from the commendations items vendor. Both cost the same amount. I want to know if each holds a different type of armor? Or? Can someone please let me know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRifle Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) There is no difference other than the name of the container. Understand that those random reward containers are really a gamble. It is likely that whenever you pick them as your quest reward, the item you get won't be a benefit to you at all. It's like playing in a casino. Of course, there is also the possibility that you may win an awesome item that you can use, but like in casino gambling, you are betting against the house, if you know what I mean. My advice is that you spend your comms on sure things that you know you will get. But if gambling (and losing) is your thing, then hey, more power to you.

Irullan Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have been trying to figure this out too! It seems like the case has been giving me mod items? But I have not tested it enough to feel conclusive. I DID figure out that if it says a weight value ("Light Jeweled Case" "Heavy Titanium Box") it seems to correlate with the type of gear you get- light/cloth, medium/leather, and heavy/plate.

Heynow Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks for the info so far. I am just wondering to wonder. I buy my gear with my commendations but if I have leftover it doesn't hurt to add in a couple boxes. Plus, I have alts that can use the gear as well. I was just curious. Thanks!

I understand what you're saying and that's cool. There is always the chance that the random item could be used by one of your companions or an alt, as you said. I have seen players link their random reward in general chat just to be funny because the item was useless to them. There are times when the item they linked could only be used by the opposite faction, so it's really a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesOG Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This is an old thread but I wanted to say I have spent many a commendation on these boxes and I have not been disappointed. The guy above saying the casino comment is assuming that this currency is actually valuable- when it has no value to the game makers- that is they want to give you equipment, but it is a gamble. The boxes have weights and item role ratings. Other than that I do not really know what the difference is sometimes between say a box of the same weight designation etc. But I would buy boxes with higher role ratings, and try to get ones that hint at the equipment given.

Ghostbacon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I read in a post (so it may be true or not), that the closer your level is to the level of the box or case, the better or more accurate to your class the loot is ? Also the crew skill Treasure Hunting has you gather these types of item boxes too, so that's another way to get them if they're " your thing " .
