Inventory Shrinkage

tinythinker · January 2015

I still have my mount space even though it isn't bound to a particular horse, but I am down about 40 or 50 items in carrying capacity. Is this due to some change I missed or a bug? I had all bag space upgrades finished quite a while back on my two primary characters.

It's a bug. When you first log in, it doesn't count your horse upgrade capacity reliably. Then it feeds anything in those slots into a woodchipper.

I noticed that I had 10 less inventory slots on a character that had the Bags horse upgraded to +60, which was due to the fact that my new "Riding Skill" only has me at 50.

Maybe that is where the missing 10 are for mine -- oh, yes it is. I only randomly got back the horse slots it is crediting me instead of my full 40.

In my case I got 50 knocked off... but got them all back when I equipped a horse through the menu. The problem is, the items are gone.

Provisioning items got converted. Collectibles got moved to their own tab. This might account for some of your loss.

Well, I only got 30 back when I equipped my horse as the system didn't properly give me full credit for all of the mount space I had achieved

It doesn't, though. I had it happen on two separate characters, one who didn't have any provisioning items before the patch. Additionally, the character went from having 148/150 to 100/100, which, if it was just the provisioning items getting converted wouldn't have lined up that smoothly... it also shouldn't have destroyed four purple recipes in their inventory.

Apparently, horse storage is now volatile. It vanishes when you log off, and takes anything in those slots with it.

EDIT: Okay, I might have the issue solved, but I can't be sure.

I only ever buy the Imperial horses, I always figured it was a waste of money to buy the starter 17k horse, because it has the same stats, and I never got around to buying any of the 42k horses.

Looks like that might actually have come back to bite me. If you don't have a horse OTHER than the Imperial unlocked on your account, Horse inventory resets before logging in. If you have another horse, it doesn't seem to happen.

There's a reason I bought the +10 slots horse. And paid a lot for it. If we bought those horses, we should get the +10 in our skills. We paid way more than the 2500 gold it costs to train 10 levels.

From the AuA they made it seem like you could max everything out at 60 with the new Riding Skill.

Hopefully they get this sorted before it goes live. People losing huge chunks of their inventory items and space would be a nightmare for ZOS.
