Something is terribly worng with the amount of Trans crystals we can earn...

dolphezious · August 25

Give us a normal amount of Transmute crystals for the love of god. What the hell, I need entire month to transmute 2 set items, beacuse I play only PvP. Im not farming 10 dungeons per day with different characters to get 100 crystals. This is simply absurd. And doing BGs and getting 1 (!!) [snip] crystal per day is basically insulting us players and our precious game time. Im not counting the "worthy" rewards which can sometime give you 4 (!!! - what the ***) crystals.

There has to be a solution to this. Make currencies transfer. I dont care what amounts, just make it possible for example to turn useless APS to Transmute crystals. Even if its 5000:1 would be worth it.

The handling of currencies and wasting gameplay time just beacuse the currency system is all confused and not proper is absurd. Its literally game breaking for me. How can i test the sets if i cant get the currency to do so? Its insane with 500+ sets in game, but yet, I can not play the game beacuse I cant recreate that sets, beacuse you guessed it, beacuse of low number of transmute crystals.

Oh and for the love of god, gives us SAVE option for Infinite archive. Where is the logic to play 8+ hours a day to achive something? Who in hell can do this? Its not logical, and its useless to even try. It just doesnt do its job.

Thanks for reading this.

The transmute crystal grind...is something.

I've taken to turning my PvE toons into hastily thrown together PvP builds, just to Tier in GH for the 50 crystals every 30 days. In 7 days, I'll receive 200 crystals, which will leave me with about 350 total. Only 1 of my characters is a PvP main, but I needs them crystals, baby.

Then, of course, the daily randoms...this has lead to a contentious and controversial practice of speed running/W2W pulls, where yeah, at CP 1630 I can keep up, but that doesn't mean the level 14, brand new players can. This has caused much division in the community.

Rumor mill was a chance at a possible 100 Crystals being earned from PvP Rewards of the Worthy, but I'm not sure whatever came of that.

If you have tier 3 and your alliance wins the campaign, you get 100 crystals instead of 50 for that character as end of camaign reqards.

My only source of transmute crystals is playing Tales of Tribute against NPCs. It's usually easy to win the game, but I only get randomly rewarded about 5 transmute crystals every 15 - 20 games I play, so it's definitely not a great option. But it's the only way I can get them (that I know of) without playing with a group, and I prefer to mostly solo the game, with rare exceptions.

It's good to know I'm not the only one struggling to earn them!

Only if you're in the top 10% on the leaderboard I think?

It is still insane how much you have to grind transmutes.

Make your calculation of how much transmutes you need to make ONE gear. Minimum transmute costs per item is 25 transmutes provided that the stickerboard is full for that gear. You need MINIMUM 11 items (7 gear, 3 jewelry, 1 2h weapon for a one bar build), normally rather 13-14 items depending on your build. That is the strict minimum you need to complete one setup is 275 transmutes, but normally rather 325-350. Provided that the stickerboard for all equipment is completed.

Considering that the grind to complete the stickerboard for a gear takes a long time and most of the time you need gears from two to three different dungeon/trials it is much much mor likely that the item transmute costs are far higher.

It is really insane. It is like a treadmill we are in: A new DLC is released with new trials and new sets. We start to grind several weeks or months the new gear that we need for new end content. We try to fill our stickerboard as much as we can and then start to grind transmutes for months to equip our toons. A new DLC is released and all over again.

I'm in the opposite boat, inasmuch as I must reconstruct a pair of daggers every so often to store 50 crystals (25 per dagger), then give them to alts to hang onto, just so I can accept more crystals without going over the limit. After awhile the "storage" daggers start to get numerous enough to clog up my alts' inventory slots.

Note that I definitely do not farm crystals by doing random dungeons on my characters each day, but I get crystals often enough from playing ToT against NPCs, as well as from PvP RotW, that I cringe if I see crystals in my rewards, since I need to remember to check my current balance before accepting any more, lest I accidentally exceed the limit and lose some.

I also don't reconstruct or transmute a lot of gear for my characters to actively use. If I did, I might feel like I weren't getting crystals often enough-- but I've got so many reconstructed "storage" daggers that I could probably outfit all of my alts with ease and still have "storage" daggers left over.

I used to spend my excess crystals on transmuting a crafted piece of L1 gear to the Nirnhoned trait, so I could deconstruct it for a chance to get back Fortified Nirncrux or Potent Nirncrux, but lately I just buy some Nirncrux from guild traders if I don't have enough to do master writs.

Or just get to tier 1 on multiple characters in Cyrodiil. I think that gets you about 50 in 30 day campaigns. Do that on enough characters one month and you’ll have a lot.

This, and also save all Worthy boxes to open one a day for guaranteed daily transmutes, usually 4, sometimes more.
