Request: Make it possible to hide/lock selected items from sell/deconstruct/research

Mishoniko · April 2014

Also this would work around the deconstruct-eats-your-helmet bug (though that is getting fixed next patch).

(because of the extraction/merchant gold bonuses that these items then provide).

I agree that locking would be a nice feature, but I thought I should mention that wearing gear with those two traits does nothing. It only affects what you get from selling or deconstructing that piece of gear.

Thanks for that, Lupus. I Think I understood it all wrong with the intricate/ornate in the beginning.

Despite this misunderstanding I think that a sell/deconstruct lock would be very helpful and useful.

I agree 100% but to make it real easy make a "Mark as Keep" tab identical to the "Mark as Junk" tab in your inventory. It would keep you from being able to destroy/sell/deconstruct/research these items but they would be in a separate tab. You would have to intentionally move to that tab to rid yourself of any of these items. This would also be extremely easy for the devs to code.

This would be incredibly useful.

I would also like to see something like that.

Food4Thought · April 2014

My two cents worth ...

Something needs to be in place. There are times when I can't sleep and end up in game at 3 in the morning.

Imagine now how many equipment mistakes I have made with vendors or deconstruction because I simply not thinking clearly and my hands are on cruise control.

There is an add-on for this. Works quite well for me.

Paying attention to detail works well for me.

Why can't people simply pay attention to what they're doing & be more careful?

AreoHotah · April 2014

Yes pls. should be simple to add.

SunfireKnight86 · April 2014

god yes, this please

You can use this to give you hint what gear to sell/deconstruct

Not to threadmine, but as an avid drinker, I need this to be looked into again. I've deconned a tonne of legendaries..

Necro'd thread, but just in case people read this again:

While I agree that this should be available in the base game, as somebody has already posted, there's a fantastic and easy-to-use mod for this:

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info300-ItemSaver.html

All it does is let you mark things as locked (and hide them in the various screens you want hidden, like merchants / decon etc.). I know it should be doable without a mod, but just use it, it's really fantastic.

Gillysan · September 2014

I posted here originally when I didn't know about the addons. I'm now up to 39 addons. There was a recent update that messed up ItemSaver (or might have been RA?) and people decond things they were saving. It was caught fairly fast but a bit of damage was done.

ResearchAssistant is great too but across characters it doesn't work perfectly. Most likely a problem with the API than the addons code.

Wuggums47 · September 2014

That would be great.

SpAEkus · September 2014

There are a few that might help

ItemSaver-puts a mark on item but doesn't lock it out

FCO ItemSaver - marks only with more features

ItemLock - Full Lock but alpha version

Just FYI, Itemsaver also removes locked items from shopkeeper, decon, and research lists, if you choose to have it do so. All three are toggle-able separately in the addon settings (so you could, as I do, remove saved items from shops and decon, but still show them in the research lists).

@elowan‌

Sorry I didn't see that in the addon notes, thanks for the update.

Syntse · September 2014

I'm surprised that this has not been implemented yet. It has been discussed before. Just recently deconstructed one of my created items accidentally. So yes this is really needed.

Going to check out those addons.

HellRazeD · September 2014

To date I havent got any addons, because we have 4 computers all with it installed (all mine...) and they all use the same account. Its a giant pain in the rectum to update addons and ensure all have the same addons, so Im just not using any.

Because my son has one character on the account, and my husband has another (the other 6 are mine), it can get very hairy, and there have been some instances where something I have banked for a character, or to research later, has been deconstructed by either my husband or my son.

While having the addons is fabulous, it would be nice to have it as a native feature, instead of having to create it for myself.

First off, I completely agree that this should be in-game functionality. Before I discovered the addons, I accidentally deconstructed more than a few items I was saving for research.

That said, these addons really do work. ItemSaver (here) is fantastic, light weight, and allows you to both add a visual queue for saved items, as well as filtering them out of merchant / decon screens.

As far as addon management, I use the free Minion addon manager that esoui.com puts out (that's also where I get/ find all my addons). Once you're managing all the addons through minion, all you have to do is occasionally open it up and it will automatically check for updates. It doesn't need to stay open / run in the background, etc.. I haven't manually updated an addon since a few weeks after launch.

Addons should be updated / available across all characters in a given game installation. You shouldn't have up update them separately. The only thing that is character specific is the addon settings (most, but not all addons allow you to customize their setting to specific characters), but that's pretty much a one-time-only thing.

Having just started a new char, it would be helpful to have a tickbox to either allow or disallow vault access while at the craft tables.

That way we can just use our char inventory to craft instead of our account inventory. Might be easier than trying to find a way to hide individual items that could be stored in both places.

What about it, Z?

Nestor · September 2014

What I have started doing is putting items to be researched onto a Mule's Bag. This keeps them hidden from any crafting/selling efforts on my Mains. Since I am at the point where each item takes 12 days I am not having to shuffle things around as often as I would for the first 6 traits.
