Number of crafting upgrade materials

dvstansb14_ESO · February 2017

This has been bothering me since beta... Does anyone ever risk using fewer than max upgrade materials when improving a crafted item? I personally never risk losing all the resources that go into an item to "save" a few mats (esp with ESO's RNG) - doing so is a guaranteed statistical loss over time. For me it's just a useless "knob" I have to remember to turn every time I enter the crafting improvement UI. Am I missing something? (Also, is there an add-on to set it automatically?)

The answer to your first question is yes. Some do and probably only once.

It is not worth losing everything to save one piece. Purple upgrade matts are to plentiful and gold are to costly.

Never seen an addon.
