Quick answer

Choose the Crescent Rising Illustrated Vault if you need a compact, single-set case with etched artwork. Pick the Great Wave Vault if you need room for up to three dice sets and want a lid that doubles as a rolling tray.

Size and Capacity

The Crescent Rising Illustrated Vault measures 10 x 6 x 3.5 cm (4 x 2.35 x 1.35 in) and holds one standard set of dice up to 28mm. That’s slightly larger than typical dice, so it accommodates most sharp edge sets without a squeeze. The Great Wave Vault is a rectangular case measuring 16.5 x 7.75 x 3.75 cm (6.5 x 3 x 1.5 in) and holds up to three standard sets of dice up to 25mm. If you carry multiple character builds or backup sets, the larger vault saves you from juggling separate cases.

Materials and Finish

Both vaults share a black walnut wood body with magnetic closures and felt or velvet lining. The difference is in the artwork and protection. The Crescent Rising Vault features etched custom artwork filled with dreamy lilac paint, giving it a subtle, durable finish that won’t wear off with handling. The Great Wave Vault is individually hand-painted by an in-studio artist and sealed with a clear resin layer, which makes the surface more resistant to scratches and scuffs. If you plan to use the lid as a rolling tray, the resin coating on the Great Wave Vault is a practical advantage for daily table use.

Portability and Storage

The Crescent Rising Vault ships with a protective velvet bag, making it easy to toss into a backpack or dice bag without worrying about scratches. Its smaller footprint fits neatly in a crowded game bag. The Great Wave Vault is larger and heavier, and while it doesn’t include a bag, its felt-lined interior and magnetic closure keep dice secure. The trade-off is that the bigger vault is less pocket-friendly but doubles as a rolling surface, reducing the need for a separate tray at the table.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Capacity vs. Portability: The Crescent Rising Vault holds one set and is small enough to pocket. The Great Wave Vault holds three sets but is larger and heavier. Choose based on how many dice you need at the table.
  • Artwork durability: The Crescent Rising has etched paint that is part of the wood. The Great Wave has a hand-painted design sealed under resin, which is more scratch-resistant. The resin finish better withstands frequent lid use as a tray.
  • Included accessories: The Crescent Rising comes with a protective velvet bag. The Great Wave does not include a bag but offers a rolling tray lid. Factor in whether you need extra carry protection or a built-in tray.
