@ZOS Internal Item Lock

Nifty2g

Hey @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert there is something I'd really love to be added into this game, that would solve a lot of people's problems.
I often find my self selling or deconstructing or purging my bank and I do it in bulk, and sometimes destroy my good trait items or my good items, support is officially not allowed to restore items deconstructed by a player and this happens a lot and I can't get the gear back.

At this time, we are unable to restore items deconstructed by a player. Please note that the system works as designed.
If you would like to see a change in the way the system works, please send us your idea by typing /feedback into your chatbox!
If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know and we will do our best to help.

I normally get this email as a response, anyway, since we can't exactly trust putting items in our junk inventory to lock them as we risk selling all junk or an addon messing with our junk tab that will be more catastrophic and lose a lot more gear, could we maybe see an in game feature to lock our items from this? Simple feature that would save a lot of grief and gold

No kidding. Seeing that response after accidentally deconstructing something that took eight tempering alloy to upgrade (especially at the current prices) is just horrible customer service on a game with no save item feature.

Pro Tip - put your most precious items on another character, then it cannot be touched by accident.

The most precious items I use are the ones I use and need on my character lol

Nifty, this is a terrible idea. What we really need is more confirmations when deleting junk hireling emails.

L2P Issue. Don't click so fast.

On a serious note, being able to lock items wouldn't bad but imagine the bugs it could create.
I also wouldn't want to have to type DELETE everytime I deconstruct a purple or better item.

Item lock would just be putting a restriction on an item that doesn't let you sell or deconstruct not an item safety message

I have an add-on that locks items and it is quite nifty.

I'd love to see a locking system put in place in the base game. It doesn't even need 50 different symbols and colors like the addon, just a simple "lock" so you can't sell/destroy the item would be nice.

All my good gear that I swap between regularly just happens to come immedately alphabetically before/after plain rubedo/ruby ash and I make this mistake alot when deconstructing. Have had to recraft my nirnhoned gold staff at least 3 times since imperial city

That sneaky comment though

My biggest problem is when I am selling gear and for some reason instead of going down the selector goes up and I sell a very important piece of gear, that's happened a bit lol
Personally though I don't trust any addons that touch my gear or bank. I just use combat addons for DPS and resource management

This has been asked for since just about the beginning... never any mention of adding it.

You just made me cry a little bit inside. I saw the Z and was SO hoping you'd say "that will come with scrolling combat text" or something.

Lurk is better than nothin' though

Yeah @Nifty2g I can see not trusting add-ons that touch your stuff. Sorry, I more so meant that I have an addon that locks item and so far has been quite successful in being bug free.

I once upgraded an item with 8 tempers... and it failed, even at 100% upgrade chance. ZOS support was like "Nope, sorry! We can't help you."

I love this game, but sometimes I just want to throw things.

Since we have a ZOS lurker, I'll throw in to support this. I've accidentally decon'd plenty of gear that I was planning to improve in the next menu.

My biggest problems with add-ons is they're unreliable. They're the biggest boon and crux of the game. There's a lot of "quality of life" UI usability that's limited by the game where add-ons ill the role. Yet some add-ons don't get updated with each version change or the developer quits. I get constant UI errors in game, sometimes when just opening up mail. I've not been able to determine which add-on caused the problems, and the UI error logs often gives zero indication as to what broke.

I've accidentally deconned some gear I wanted due to my add-ons failing while playing, too. It's frustrating, but... it is what it is. =/ We definitely need a "lock" item, especially for banked gear. It shows up on every character.

Here's the addon: ItemSaver

A base-game built-in version doesn't need to be nearly that fancy, but this addon is indeed awesome.

Reparing stuff can be dangerous too, normally when im manually reparing im out in the wild and been gridning for a few hours, in fact im in the perfect "fat fingered mode" to destroy my equiped armour.......

Item lock may or may not of just been confirmed with Thieves Guild
I assume it wouldn't be much coding involved to add such a thing, so we can only hope now that it's been noticed

Or perhaps Rich just likes to lurk?

Stalking Z is stalking.

I'd really love to see that as an option. Id also love to see, while deconing, to see items from either your bank or your inventory because right now they just mix together. That way if you just select only from inventory itll be a lot easier to avoid deleting items you want.

This has been asked for many times but I have never seen a positive response of "this will happen..." This was truly a blessing when Destiny added this to the game. From my understanding of it, it was not something that was too challenging to add into the game. Once the feature was added, it was a simple click to lock it and a click to unlock it. LOVED IT!

TBH I wouldn't be happy with an ZOS official version unless it offered the same functionality as this. The ability to make my own filters is great as I can have ones saved for daily writs which never show in any screens, but others saved for selling which will show for guild stores but no where else.

I'd love to just have a check box on the deconstruct screen which caused the deconstruct menu to only pull items from my inventory and not my bank. The ability to sort by quality on this and similar screens would also be very helpful.
