Cauldrons are great for storage. They were a great alternative to chests a while back as you could get as many as you wanted for free if you had friends to help you. One person restarts as alchemist, drops cauldron, restarts, drops, restarts, etc... carries cauldrons to main island, gives them to friend, and then maybe restarts again and does it all over again untill you have enough cauldrons. By this method- they're cheaper than chests, and they also store more. But I still thought chests were too cool, so I used them once I was able to afford. The power to lock is nice also if you want to keep a house that you can let people into.
