Make Stone and Metal vouchers tradeable

xariama

Don't think I need to say anything more. It's ridiculous that they are the only resource vouchers that aren't tradeable. Might want to consider this.

Vouchers that drop from lockboxes can be traded. Only certain type of vouchers can drop from lockbox packs, not including ones for any SH-produced resources. Not just stone and metal but wood and food as well.

Afaik, there are no vouchers from other sources (events, quests, dragon flight, giveaways) that can be traded except by inter-alliance donation or temporarily joining a guild in need. Sometimes containers with vouchers are not bound and can be traded.

This all looks working exactly as designed to me. Vouchers aren't meant to be a primary source of SH-produced resources, unless people want to farm a lot of DF.

Not even close. Metal, Food, Stone, none of them can be traded. Might want to do a little more research first. I refer specifically to the ones you get out of a Stronghold Chest of Power.

I told you what kind of vouchers can and can't be traded. The devs are very deliberate with this. The only vouchers that can be traded are the ones from lockboxes.

I did not tell you metal, stone, etc. vouchers can be traded. I know they can't. Everything in a stronghold chest of power binds to the character opening the chest. The game was designed this way. You're not meant to be able to trade those vouchers.

Ed: noticed a typo

And why is that? I ask that because in the last week and a half, I've purchased, either through Zen or the market, 225 of these Stronghold Chests of Power. And NOT ONE of them has given any Stone. This is why these need to be tradeable.

Are people not tending to your guilds quarry? The vouchers help, but they aren't needed and most guilds have an abundance of the basic resources.

Stronghold chest of power is shards only, the vouchers one is the Stronghold chest of campaigns, and comes inside the Stronghold starter pack. Said Stronghold chest of campaigns is not random, you can see what will be the selection in the tooltip and upon opening you are asked to select what vouchers you want out of the list.
You can open all the boxes on the game, and you are assured not to get stone, it's not in the list.

Stone is free, tend the building, the vouchers are close to worthless if we talk about the lockbox variant as compared to the key cost. Getting a useless stone voucher for a cost of the key is an insult.

If you are in such hurry, run DFs those do drop basic material vouchers or build the support buildings that add to the needed resource.

Each does contain a minor voucher for common resources. You know... the ones that are so insignificant in value as to be completely forgettable?

I also question WTF the OP is trying to build that they think unbound piddly-widdly vouchers would solve their issue.

I mean, I am bottlenecked on wood right now, and Janne's guild was bottlenecked on food back when we were in the same alliance, but if you're buying Chests of Power to get more of SH-produced resources... you are definitely doing it wrong.

Though when you progress more, I guess you'll have a nice stock of shards.
