Storage FAQ

I want additional storage space. Where can I get it?
There are a few ways you can obtain extra vault space. You can redeem Reward Points for items that provide additional vault space from Reward Merchants, you can purchase items that provide additional vault space from the Fallen Earth Store, or you can craft your own storage items from components.

 

What is the difference between the “Exclusive” and “Prestige” Safety Deposit Boxes? 
“Prestige” Safety Deposit Boxes may only be acquired with Reward Points from a Reward Merchant in game, while “Exclusive” Safety Deposit Boxes may be acquired with Reward Points from a Reward Merchant or through the Fallen Earth Store. There is no difference in terms of vault space or use. For example:

The 8-slot Prestige Sector Safety Deposit Box and the 8-slot Exclusive Sector Safety Deposit Box are exactly the same in their functionality—they are just acquired from different places.

 

Where can I get these Crafted storage space items?
There are ten knowledge book items that can be looted from tougher Deadfall NPCs or purchased directly from other players or via the Auction House. These are: General Armorcraft, General Ballistics, General Construction, General Cooking, General Geology, General Medicine, General Mutagenics, General Nature, General Science, and General Weaponry. Each of these books contains two recipes for components; these components are used to make Handmade Safety Deposit Box items. The General Construction book also contains recipes for the 8-slot Handmade Sector Safety Deposit Box, 16-slot Handmade Sector Safety Deposit Box, 8-slot Handmade Barter Safety Deposit Box, and 16-slot Handmade Barter Safety Deposit Box.

 

The components for the 8-slot boxes require 150 skill to craft, and components for the 16-slot boxes require 180. These components can be purchased from and sold to other players, directly or via the Auction House. The Handmade Safety Deposit Box recipes only require one point of Construction, so that they can be crafted by anyone.

 

 

 

Is there a limit to how many Safety Deposit Boxes I can acquire?
Yes, you can acquire the following, all of which stack together:

 

 

If you acquire the crafted storage items, redeem Reward Points for vault space and/or purchase vault space from the Fallen Earth Store, you can add up to 144 storage slots to your character, in addition to any storage slots you may have already acquired through gameplay (ie, space in a vault, vehicle or mount storage, etc.).

 

You may not acquire and apply the same item twice for an individual character (ie, you may not purchase two 8-slot Exclusive Barter Safety Deposit Boxes in place of one 16-slot Exclusive Barter Safety Deposit Box).

 

Can I acquire or buy Safety Deposit Boxes for each of my characters?
Yes, since the items are character-bound (meaning, applied to and used exclusively by an individual character), you may acquire and apply boxes to each character.

 

For example:

 

If I delete a character, do I lose the Safety Deposit Box I put on that character and the items associated with it?
Yes.  If you choose to delete a character, you will lose any additional vault space they have purchased, as well as any items still in that character's Vaults, Mounts, Gear, and Pack.

 

How do I apply a Safety Deposit Box to a character?
If you redeemed Reward Points for a box:

 

The character you use to interact with the Rewards Merchant is the character that will receive the item. The item is given to you by the Merchant. You’ll need to find it in your Pack and use it. Its use triggers an attribute that expands your existing vault space by the number of units you just acquired. For example:

 

 

If you purchase a box from the Fallen Earth Store:

Your purchase will result in a special code (located in your purchase confirmation page, in an email which is sent to you, and on the “Subscription” tab of your User Management page). To apply the code to the character you wish to receive the additional storage, from within the game click the Menu button in your User Interface and click “Redeem Key” (you must have completed the tutorial to redeem a key). Enter the code you were provided, exactly as it appears, in the field. Click “Submit” and the item will appear in your Pack. Find the item in your Pack and use it. Its use triggers an attribute that expands your existing vault space by the number of units you just acquired. If you don’t have enough space in your pack for the item and you try to apply the key, you’ll get a message that says “Key Failed.” At this time, you’ll need to clear space in your pack.

Reapply the key and it should work as normal.

 

For example:

 

To use a Crafted item:

Only the character who crafts the Handmade Safety Deposit Box may use it.  Once crafted, these items cannot be traded. A character must acquire the recipe book General Construction, which contains the recipes for all four Handmade Safety Deposit Box items. Then they will need five components for each recipe. These components can be purchased from another player or the Auction House, or crafted with the appropriate recipe and high enough skill. The recipe books all start with General, followed by the name of the tradeskill (for example General Science), and can be looted from NPCs in Deadfall or purchased directly from other players or via the Auction House.  The Safety Deposit Box items only require one point of Construction skill, and can be made by anyone.

 

 

Each Safety Deposit Box is an item that you use on an individual character. When used, the item triggers an attribute that expands your existing vault space by the number of units you acquired.
