You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

so, with all the new and exciting sets available...no storage space or mannequins as of yet indicated for housing...tons of bind on pickup stuff...

is anyone else spending more time than they'd like on inventory management...

right now i'm at 200 bank slots - i think i saw somewhere that the max capacity has been moved to 240...anyone know if that's true...

with eight characters i'm finding i need to constantly juggle bank space with them all...just in unique set jewelry in itself i must be using around 60 or so slots...the crafting bag has been a big boon; however - i think i need a bigger "boat"...

at least every other day i log on i need to ensure i'm deconstructing gear to make more room...

anyone else having some inventory management concerns...

any tips or tricks from any of you overly organized folks on how to keep the game flowing without putting in too much time in juggling gear amongst all your characters (each character has a 100 plus slots)???

Bank capacity has always been 240 since the beginning of my time (August 2015) playing the game.

200 is the limit on personal bank space, though. That might be why you've got those two numbers in mind.

Edit: As for tips, I recommend creating multiple accounts a having a personal guild bank. Super easy on console. Having multiple accounts is NOT against TOS. It has been brought up in the forums before. On PC though, I believe each accounts has to be linked to a unique game key. A work around might be to invite a bunch of randoms in the starting area and hope they never play the game again. Or invite 9 really close friends that you trust.

Max out each characters riding capacity, gives you an additional 60 slots per character, buy Backpack upgrades for all characters, get rid of any ring/necklace that is not of purple quality, get rid of gear with useless traits, max out your bank capacity to 240. All the above take time or gold so sorry I have no quick remedy for you.

Those are a few of the things that have helped me.

Yep, we used to be able to only go to 170 on personal bag space with all sources, so 60 come from horse bags. We could only go to 110 on personal bag space (110 + 60 = 170). Now we can go to 140 on personal Bag Space so the total is 200.

But to answer the OP's question. I have one Mule that holds all my Crafted Sets for leveling characters, one mule that holds all my jewelry and some dropped set items, another that holds mostly dropped set items, and another that holds mostly dropped set items. Then, I have dropped sets squirreled away on my mains. If it was not for Inventory Insight, I would go insane.

Personal inventory is 200, bank is 240, also depending on how desprate you are, you can create a guild, add 10 accounts and you'll have an extra 500 slots.I know pc has codes for new accounts, xbox would be a pain making 10 new accounts, like i said depends on how desperate you are for space.

8 alts would give you 1600 slots if they were upgraded all the way.

Also, don't forget a few inventory slots bought by mules are cheap at early levels.

Using Alts as mules is fine until you want to start leveling a new character, I used to have 4 but am down to 2 and I have already bought 2 new character slots.

I even have a second ESO account with 8 mules that I have bought additional bag space for and I filled them mailing inventory to that account.

AND I have the crafting bag.... boy am I a hoarder and I feel your pain OP.

Since all the Accounts would come from the same IP, this would be noticed and the extra accounts disabled and the guild disbanded.

I dunno how the pc side works I just remember people talking about how they got extra space. OP could also just get 10 friends to join a guild same thing 500 additional slots.

It's perfectly fine to have as many accounts as you like, and as far as I know there is no issue with getting 10 and making your own guild. You'd only get into trouble if you full-on multi-box, meaning you are logged in to multiple accounts at the same time AND are controlling more than one character from a single computer.

geonsocal

great stuff...ugh, I'm only at 200 on my bank space...

looks like I either need to bite the bullet and pay either 4,000 crowns or about 60 to 80k in coins or so for those 40 more bank slot...

thanks

Edit: yikes, just checked eso Academy - the cost of going from 200 to 240 bank inventory slots is 300k...decisions, decisions...

It is easier on PS4 because you can have multiple users set up on the same PS4, all accessing the PSN via a primary PSN account. Each of them can have their own ESO account and only one user can log in at a time, so there can be no breach of game rules.

I can do the same on xbox, just a pain, I don't about PS but xbox I'd have to make 9 different accounts with separate emails. Unless something has changed.

So families can't have multiple accounts for everyone to play?

Nah, of course they can. There are probably hundreds (maybe thousands) doing this exact thing right now. There is no way ZoS would disable extra accounts from the same IP address.

@wayfarerx

Your right, you can have multiple accounts. It's when you make 10 of them, and then create a guild with those accounts. All 10 Accounts in the Guild will have the same IP and that is where the flags get raised. You might get away with it for a while. It probably all depends on what you do with the Guild and other accounts.

I saw a post, not too long ago in fact, from a Gina type person that said exactly that, don't make 10 accounts to make a guild.

I don't think you would lie, but I would love to see that quote, in context, to try to figure out what the problem would be.

If someone wants to spend $300 dollars to get 10 accounts just so they can have some extra storage space in a guild, how is that any different from having multiple accounts in order to use the extra characters as mules.

I don't doubt they may look into it, since multiple accounts from the same IP is something you may see with a larger scale gold-selling operation, but you would think a quick phone call to the account owner, or a quick look at the players activities would show nothing is up.

I only have 130 slots in my bank, i just dont have the gold to throw away on the next upgrade.

Sigtric

My bank is less full now than it's ever been.

More sets: more thought into what I actually need to keep. Am I reallllly going to use any of these overland sets I'm holding onto? Nah. Throw them out/sell/decon/whatever.

Maybe? Maybe. This year? Probably not. I can farm them again later if I really need them.

Once I realized I didn't really have to save every stupid little set item that I might need later, storage got so much easier and I'm suddenly a LOT more wealthy in game.

@geonsocal it takes a bit of mental prep. I just had to sit back one day and really think. Am I REALLY going to use this?

Some of it was easy: I don't currently have a character this is good for.
Some not easy, but not difficult either: It's good and I can use it but.... Nope don't want to switch that set up

3 Mains, and 2 others on the side. What I usually do is get the personal inventory up to 90 or 100 slots, then any extra would come from the Mount upgrades.

Own guild is a great idea.
I started my own guild about 2 years ago and it works well. Actually I have a guild bank full of 1T sets parts just in case one of the guildmates (only few ppl) or I need some.

nine9six

I have 12 accounts (and a few personal Guild Banks) and have spoken with ZOS regarding issues logging them in and getting emails for 'new computer' prompts. They gave zero ***.

FWIW

12 accounts? Damn, that is crazy

Yes, this is correct. I created my fourth guildbank earlier this week. I needed it for all the dropped glyphs.

Errr, "can't reach this page" error?

edit: NVM, it worked the third time I tried it. I guess it really is the charm!

edit 2 : Dude that was someone abusing the "Free Weekend" trial keys for their own benefit. We are talking about paying customers here, not freeloaders looking to abuse the system.

Nestor

@danno8

Hmm, I can reach it from the link above. Here is the post in question

Just a warning if anyone tries to do the same thing. I created a guild over the weekend for more storage with some trial accounts. Well Zenni got wise to this and deleted the entire guild. I lost probably 500k or so of mats. Pretty upset but I can't blame them. So just warning people if they bring the trial accounts back don't do this.

Email I received from Zennimax

"Greetings,

It has recently come to our attention that your guild reached the guild bank threshold through the inclusion of multiple accounts with free weekend keys, and that many of these free accounts appear to be duplicate accounts. Please be aware that creating multiple free accounts to get access to guild storage is not intended behavior, and is disruptive to the game service. As such, we have disbanded this guild.

Thank you for your understanding."


True it is talking about the free accounts, but all accounts are free now unless you choose to sub. And, maybe they don't care if you use 10 sub accounts to do this. All I know is I have seen enough evidence to lead me to believe that setting up 10 or more accounts in order to create a guild is not kosher.
