Soulstones works fine in Secure chests, you will need max 2 chests for yours. I use gift boxes as nested boxes in my Soulstone chests. You can lock them down there, but just secured in co-owner chest works fine for me.

Thats how I had them :) Got tired of shuffling through them to find the skill I wanted. Much easier for me to run in house and go to the section for the account I want to swap skills around on this way. Only have 112 out and 50 more in each of those kings collection boxes.for the accounts I don't use often. Between the 54 raised beds in that house and 112 stones flashing it makes a impressive amount of lag. May end up making a chest for each account though. The lag in that house really is crazy. What I really need to do is get a castle or two and dump about 10 houses worth of junk in them and close another 10 accts. Just don't get into the whole castle thing though. Now if they made a 31x31 plot you could customize, I would be all over that. Have 6 castles on Legends and the only time I ever go to them is to look at all the shiny things when I take a Siege break and play prodo.

Want to see lag in a house, then visit my castle :(
You can make your castle a 4 floors 31x31 cube.
I too do use King Collections Chests for my soulstones, a chest for each account, only Tina need nested boxes.

LOL I fixed it and put them in boxes. I had this great idea that having every accounts stones in one house owned by an account that will never go inactive was a good idea. If I want to do this I would pretty much need to give up one of my small houses and place another 18x18 just for the stones all together there would be 110 stones per floor from first floor to the roof. Guess it is boxes :)

I have three accounts and several dozen soulstones to be transparent. I was about to cut down to one, I gifted the Abyss House to a trusted friend and tried to give the Umbra Hub away in an essay contest. Then exciting things started happening. I still have three accounts.

Now it could be argued that I have too many accounts but it could also be argued that I have just the right amount. Some in the past have argued that I take up 16 more house locations that I should, But I have exactly 2 18x18s Zento and outside Safe Haven 1 tower Orc Mine and 1 keep Ocrina ISland The other 13 houses are in places like the Tsuki Garden where where very few people even know you can place a house. Most are 8x9s to 12x12s in places no one wants to live anyway..... Other than maybe the 9x14 at the top of Wind Maze. The Little Zento Hub house plot sat empty for quite some time before I placed it.

As to Soul Stones I have 17 active accounts (Considerable less than I had even 2 years ago) 6 of the accounts have 32 Stones each 6 of the accounts have 24 each 5 of the accounts have 5-10 (35 stones total) for a total of only 371 stones another 69 stones on inactive accounts but in the safe keeping of the Garden House owner. 6 accounts are 200+ months old 6 are 48-199 Month 5 are 100-149. The innactive accounts range from 36 months to 96 months, and No I don't play the 3 month game with them or any account. The Blue stones were from the SE release promo, the green were all purchased over the years and I wasted a vet reward on one red one. Now in prodo I own the SW Corner of Zento on Legends and GL and several castles on Legends. Now every house on prodo is full of stuff and the main reason I have 17 accounts rather than 7. I did used to drop all of my Siege houses and condense down to the Wolf House, the Garden House and the ISland Keep and warehouse. But after the second house was allowed I returned in the fall to find crappy dirt plot ghost houses in many of my favorite spots, I could care less if they belonged to someone actually playing Siege but there they have sat as dirt plots ever since.

Of course who decides is too many of anything in UO Do the rares collectors have too many rares? Does GIL have too many Castles and prime house spots? Does Bo Bo have too many Murder Counts? I just happen to enjoy collecting little houses in crappy locations and enjoy even more training up the skills to fill all those stones. What you don't and won't hear me saying is "I am bored with UO" Simply log onto a different toon and play that toon in Character Like Mongbat Capturing Dread Pirates and torturing them with Carrots or Herbert being the village idiot, or Dragon Food pretending to to be a PvP or Old Sharpie mining and grumbling, or The Hate playing detective and killing scripters, Or Old Uncle Perv.......... Errr Doing Pervy UO things. Perhaps too many accounts or stones for some folks taste but just right for me.

No doubt, the Bo has a massive soulstone collection (only 2 accounts) but even Bo doesnt have that many. Bo will tell you can double stack them on the roof.

btw Bo has soulstone envy!

My problem is, I will go wandering around the world with a house placement tool and run across some out of the way location that is either close to some place that interest me, or has heavy spawn around it. Since only a handful of my characters have magery and can gate .. I am Like OH cool place for a house to put a tile and train at. Then with stones I like having 120s but 120s fill the skill cap fast and limit me from putting together different templates so I have quite a few duplicate skills like 120 archery, 110, archery and 100 archery or tactics, Anat, chiv, etc. It makes it really easy to Jewel up a skill or 3 or 6 Taming for example in some cases 120 tame lore and vet real skill is nice like when wearing luck jewels, at other times it only makes sense to have those skills at 90 and jewel them to 120 freeing up 90 points that can give you 120 music/peacing real skill for taming that one in a million GD. The last thing you want to do is die with 90 skill and have a pet that you can't control in a high spawn area. Then there are the skills like Item ID and forensics that are worthless but for whatever reason you just had to take to 100, and of course begging that most of us only unstone for halloween. Although it is kind of fun to beg a pack full of Heartwood stuff and then stock Kelmo's house up with it :)
