After being 2 weeks in the reinc, I got my Chest creation skill to 100%. It took 10 chests and 1 coffer.

The trap and lock creation skills are still 70%, but I might leave them there. I am next pondering if it is worth it to start grinding Minecrafting skill. It is now 30% and probably takes several days/weeks to get it 100% (as I usually get sidetracked into something else). I also might reinc away in April if I get enough potions and chests done before that.

I haven’t really sold any merchant or alch services, so my cash flow has been negative (since I have been buying potion packs and herb jars). To cover the expenses, I sold my latest infinizity orb for 1.5M gold.

Now I have 4M in mithrils:

This chest is made from wood and is an excellent item for storing your hard-earned money.
