In my opinion:
A) Boat = Seahorse
B) Everlasting items defile the game by making it lazy. Currently we have item Keys or Tools that hold 100000 charges of most materials. This method is tried and true.
C) The master resource book is probably the best suggestion on this post. +1 for it, because it helps everyone in the short and long run. {I'd like to mention here, the ability to make rune books with more rune slots. 32 runes in a single rune book, plus the ability to have a Master Rune book 'Key' which holds 12 such rune books is something I'd chase after and would also feed the EVO economy, if they were only player made}
D) Resource Box = a bank + Current resource Key's A-Z
In closing I'd like to thank you for posting your ideas, though they may not always be used, they often times inspire idea's from others. I do hope, however, that the Master Rune book idea can be implemented. It's a great idea.
