nice Idea but i have 3 professions BS, Cloth and Woodworking my bank is full of 100 of each material need to craft and each trait and race stones, i don't have enough space to hardly send items to other toons on my account which is why i have to have a Mule character which holds trophy's and other materials (logged onto and access when needed, Shouldn't have to do this).
I also have an alt that does Enchanting and Alchemy..i also want to do Provisioning but have No space. game need space, nice Idea but 30 slots still is good But i like the Shared account bank, so all we need is :

1 Character Bank 100 slots..maby
1 Account bank 200 or more slots
1 Bag space for each character 80 slots or more
all with possible upgrades of course

Now This will solve Everyone's problem, even if say Clothiers made bags, or sacks to increase space.

Yes, there are currently too many crafting materials. Especially base materials. And in particular provisioning.
They are aware and are reworking the system accordingly. Provision is the first to be targetted. Others sill propably follow.

Better to rework it and lower the totaly types of materials then giving more bank space/specialised bank space.
The amount of storage you need serves as limiting factor to how much you can craft and as test to how comitte you are to crafting.

We dont need less crafting material. What we need is players who realise that you can not save everything.l

If you want to save everything, it is choice and has to have consequences.

In my opinion, this small crafting vault per character would just serve as space for couple of professions. You dont need that much room for provisioning as you can carry materials with you for the food and drink you use.

I at least, dont understand at all the fuzz about provisioning having too much ingredients. It is the only profession that only takes 10 or less slots from my inventory. None from bank.

Only profession that annoys me with ingredients is enchanting, always too many runes but never the third type so i could actually make something.

What i keep at bank? Reaits for armor and weaponry. Resins and tempers plus such that everyone uses. Enchanter runes too. I have 3 character, each with their own skills on professions. One does metalwork, one woodwork and third clothing. They keep material for their current level on their inventory (Craftying vault is to correct this). They also have ingredients for food and drink they cyrrently use. Only thing that i have to swap to other characters are weapons as only one destroys stuff (For achievment). This would need more a mail that i can send to my characters rather than more bank space.

1 Character Bank 100 slots..maby
1 Account bank 200 or more slots
1 Bag space for each character 80 slots or more
all with possible upgrades of course

this was only a kinda estimate of what i have seen on these forums that alot of players have asked for or sugested (as well as myself) i doesn't have to be that exact amount, just adding a Character bank would improve things on there own or even increasing items to 1000 from 100 a stack.

dont take this as what it should Be as is just a rough idea.

besides i'm also one that likes to keep Fluff crap ie trophy's ,costumes ect.

I like the idea of a special 20 slot bank, but not for crafting. I'd like to have an extra space to put Trophy's and Pets. Anything you might want to save, that is not a mat.

Blacksmithing 9 raw 9 refined=18
Woodworking 9 raw 9 refined=18
Clothier 9 raw 9 refined=18
Enchanting 14+19+5=38
Alchemy 18+9=27

This is only if you have 1 stack of each. Needless to say, the refined stacks can be balloon these numbers quite easily.
...

While some extra place for stocking some raw materials might be nice, that is probably better placed in the personal inventory of all us hunter and gatherers.

Therefore you rather have
Blacksmithing 9 refined, 4 tempers, traits = 13+
Woodworking 9 refined, 4 tempers, traits = 13+
Clothier 18 refined, 4 tempers, traits =22+

with 16 traits (soon 17/18) and 14 (more?) style materials common to the last three crafts

Given that indeed you would want - at least for some of the refined materials - to have also more than one stack it's easy to see that 30 slots per craft can fill up easily.

Therefore, why not increase the number of slots - automatically - by 3 for every level of crafting known in each craft (3 to 27) or by 2 for the number of skill points spent into crafting or by 1 per level, 1 per style, 1 by level in tempering or some combination of that.

Best would probably be for that to be either a personal space (per character) or based on the highest skill of all character to an account.

Right now the cost for extra bank space is prohibitive.

Alright, here’s the deal:

• A lot of gold is spent on baggage needlessly.
• Cannot filter mats uniquely from other useful items; it’s Food mats + Enchant mats + Fishing mats + Black/Cloth/Wood mats + odd Trophies. This category is way too impacted without a filtering mechanism. Please fix this.
• Trophies are worthless if they take up baggage. Some are cute, but if they do not contribute to gameplay – I am forced to delete them. We need a Trophy Locker. I am open to purchasing larger lockers – but it should be a reasonable cost and not at the Guild Bank fee. A Trophy that’s in a Locker cannot be accessed for warfare, however should be accessible if the Toon is in a Town having a Bank so we can show off our fine collection. Another idea is to purchase a Home (ala Skyrim), and that Home could come with one display case, with the option to purchase more.
• Hireling deliveries are not dependable. I am at my wits-end trying to figure out just when a hireling delivers the goods. Originally I used to get them first thing in the morning – and that was great! Then after the 1.3.3 update – they began arriving in the afternoon. Then there was a day where I didn’t get them at all and had to wait 24-hours. It’s been another 24-hours and still nothing. I am beginning to believe that the next delivery cycle begins 24 hours after picking them up. If it were in the real world – I’d sack the hireling for not sticking to the contract. I can accept that deliveries should not stack up, but the cycle needs to be consistent.

Thanks, KF

The problem with keeping crafting materials on the character doing that craft is that you're probably going to want any other characters you have to also pick up those materials as they go about their business. Which means They have to have space to pick them up and your Bank has to have enough space to put them in so that the character who needs them can pick them up. There is really no way to get around needing the space on more than a single character, unless you find that only gathering one type of material on one character actually provides enough. However this is likely to lead to spending a lot more time farming (instead of playing) with individual characters, when you could just do a single run picking up everything and then transferring it to the bank for whoever needs it. It really makes most sense to store materials in the bank so you have one less step of transferring items.

But there is No question that anyone who does crafting Needs more space!
As I mentioned in another thread about this: For 1 stack of each material for two levels (so you can save for the next level or craft for an Alt at a different level) the space required for each craft is as follows:
Alchemy: 18 reagents, and 2 solvents = 20
Enchanting: 19 essence runes, 4 Potency, 5 Aspect = 28
Provisioning: 4 main ingredients, 6 secondary ingredients = 10
Armor and Weapon Trait Stones = 16
Blacksmithing: 4 ore, 4 ingot, 4 improving = 12
Woodworking: 4 rough woods, 4 sanded woods, 4 improving = 12
Clothing: 8 raw material, 8 refined material, 4 improving = 20

For only two tiers of all the crafts 118 slots are needed for a single stack of each material, not counting items to research or deconstruct. This is not hoarding. Yet it is far more than the space you begin with, you won't be able to purchase all that space as soon as you'll need it, and it leaves little room for saving special items. Thus I definitely agree that it would be nice if there was some way to separate the material storage from other storage, or at least account for it in some way that would allow space for other things without the ridiculous juggling between Mules that is currently the only solution.

I think you should get more inventory slots unlocked, per skills you put into crafting that way you actually have to put something into the crafting to get the extra space, maybe 3 or 4 spaces per skill point you put into a crafting area, or something of that nature.

I like this idea, it seems like a very useful reward for investing in a craft. It always is a wrench to decide between putting points into crafting and putting them into something that will help you survive. Alternatively it could be nice to reward an inventory space for every 5 levels you gain in a craft, since leveling a craft doesn't count toward your character level or skill points, it would make leveling up a craft a little more exciting. Leveling a single craft all the way to 50 (which does take some dedication) would therefore gain you 10 inventory slots. If you do all 6 crafts it would be similar to feeding your horse oats every time, but probably isn't going to happen as quickly.

I would also like to see something in our journal that would allow us to keep our trophies in without it taking up any space.

YES. I find it very disappointing that I feel obligated to throw away souvenir items because there just isn't space for anything that isn't useful. I feel that being able to keep special trophies, memoirs, and rewards would add a lot to my enjoyment of my characters. I would also include disguises in this category. Keeping certain things from a character's adventures seems to give them more 'personality' and that in turn makes me more dedicated to the game when my characters feel more 'real.' I know not everyone finds this important, but there are certainly people who do.

I like this idea, but for trophies and pets.

Hello my name is mike and I am a hoarder.... I have all 8 slots used 1 is a craft alt 1 is my daughters alt I have max bank space and bag space on my main and craft alt and still have all my mules full to the gills.... please for the love of god give me more space for my materials!

Where's the "I can't be arsed to read through this disjointed and poorly typed poll" option?
