For those of you with some experience, how sandboxy is this game? I've heard mixed reviews on that front.

Questing and Linear Leveling progression is a bit themepark (Crafting proficiencies excluded), the rest of the game is open world and large scale.
Housing/Commerce/Crime/PVP is pretty deep, and impactful. Protected zones make for less PVP interaction than I'd like, but that's to cater to the not-hardcores.
Sail your merchant ship with 20 packs of high priced resources and get jumped by player pirates and you'll feel the weight of pvp pretty quickly.

The knockback(2nd skill) gives mana back. Also 4mana/sec isn't bad, it's obviously awful ooc but in combat you regen is 4, so it basically doubles it. The other passive that increases it a lot ooc combines fairly well and you should be able to heal up with bard so it makes up for it. But yeah mana regen is a bit weird in this and the "drinks" aren't quite as potent as they were in wow. You can make basic potato soup very easily though, need 1potato+1something else for each soup(have to craft 3 by 3 though) and they grow in like 10mins so you can make a very large amount very quickly and cheap, then you can just drink between fights for mana. Spamming newb potions might work too but think it's more expensive and it's also annoying to get mana pots cause they use bay leaves(so you need bay trees and gather from them but it's like 4hours cooldown so it takes forever to build up).

I have a small question.
I made a pack last night without paying attention to the destination where I had to go to deliver it which was on the other continent and I don't have a boat yet, just the little ferry thing.
Is there something you can do with the pack? Like put it in the bank for later, or something. I would have liked to postpone my delivery till I build my boat this weekend. I couldn't figure out what to do with it.
Is it possible to drop it on my farm and have be safe?
I ended up hitching a ride with someone, but I was wondering if there were other options.

You can drop the pack on your farm and it will be safe there for 6 days from the time of creation. After that the pack will be destroyed. Players cannot remove packs from farms or other properties unless they go unprotected due to not paying taxes.
I swam way out into the ocean. I found a cute island and there were people building houses and they had a lovely farm. I was so happy. I waved at them and danced. They killed me.

Your farm is a good place to store a pack yes, the protected land function of the farm counts for placable items as well as plants. It will be good on your farm for a few days.
A word of caution when sailing your goods: There are pirates with radar boats level 50 now. They will indeed fight you for your bananas. So please bring friends or risk losing your resources.
Also: Turning in your packs for Gilda Stars is infinitely better than turning them in for gold.
Mana Stars is just ..ok. I tested it with another character and you get some mana back, but it's on a 60s cooldown. If the CD was around 15-20 seconds, It would be much better.

It's not like I'm running around OOM all the time. It takes like 10-15 mobs kills in a row to go OOM. But I'll still take those pots!

So I havent gotten to play yet cause exams are this month and buying this would make me fail them all.
But I have to know, how bad is skill spam is it like wow with a hundred abilities on your bars? Like ESO/GW2 where its fairly limited? Like WoW Classic where its a fair number but not insane?
