So in my quick slot i have 800 magicka potions . When i look in my inventory its store by 100 so i have basicly 8 items spaces taken up that should really be just one. Its the same potion same level and all. The game does this with health , stamina and magicka potions. when you click on stack all items it does nothing. Why ?

    each spot can only contain X number of 1 item ... some items can stack 200 ( crafting materials ) others like potions its 100

    I would have to disagree thats stupid becuase poisens which are craftable you can stack as many as you want i have 1k + in some poisens so i dont understand why potions would be any different that to me was just deviced so you inconveniently need more inventory space they need to fix that

    Potions are not poison. You use 1 potion every 45 seconds. You use 1 poison every few seconds.

    Poisons stack higher since they are consumed much faster by an active player. Considering one crafting attempt of a potion yields 4 potions but poison yields 16 it would seem logical poisons would stack higher than potions. Really no reason to think otherwise outside of personal wishes.

    Quick slot shows what is in ones inventory for that item and does not indicate what can do into a stack.

    I hope this clears it up.

    Odd, because mine stack to 200, at least in the bank.

    Crafted potions still stack to 200. Nothing has changed since they raised it to 200. Yes, you are correct.

    Seems ridiculous that crafted pots can stack higher than trash pots you find off the ground. Where is the consistency? Because I've noticed this too and it's strange.

    I would suggest it is odd, but not ridiculous. That is a little strong. Besides, that is not really what OP is talking about.

    OP seems confused that he can see all of the crafted potions of the same type in his quick slot but they are still in 4 stacks in his inventory and also mistakenly compares stacking of crafted poisons to crafted positons which is not and should not be the same.

    Whether poisens are used more frequantly the potion still doesnt change that in yout invetory both should stack up the same i dont know why people on forums insist on defending things even when they know it makes no sence

I dont know why people on eso forums insist on defending things even when they know it makes no sence. The point is its taking up more inventory then it needs to and they need to fix it . If i have 1000 of something it should take up one item slot with 1k next to it regardless of how much im using it or not. Lol So your saying potions being stack at 100 or 200 a pop in your invetory makes sence. So if i have 800 of one potion same quality, type and all it should take up 8 or 4 if its stacked max at 200 slots wich is still taking up more space then it needs to lol come on people. So by end game play throughs people are going to have 100s of magicka, stamina and , health so make sure you have half of your invetory freed up for potion alone since it obviously make sence to have them max stack at 100 even though you might have 1000 potions and even though they could easly be stack all together if its the same potion on a patch or something how dare i think of such stupidity. What will the system crash if potions are stacked at 1k or something it doesnt for poisens lol

    You hurt my eyes and sense. There, it had to be said.

    Yes but still my friend the point im trying to make is they should stack the same as they do on poisons . I have 800 magica 500 stamina and 800 health potions so between all that thats about 10 slots if we stack by 200 . 10 slots for 3 different items and mine only stack by 100 but even if it stacked by 200 that still kinda dumm

    Armor and weapons are one thing but potions ,poisens and consumables are another i would think all these consumables things should all stack up as much as you want maybe on a future patch

    Personally I agree with OP. There is not really much logical reason other than to eat up inventory space, to force things to have multiple stacks. x100, x200 - it's a clear attempt to bloat your inventory.

    I think things should stack indefinitely, as long as they of the same quality, level and potency.

    The only thing that shouldn't stack in this way is armor and weapons, imo. But materials, potions food - makes no sense really other than to try to hinder you.

    yeah this is unnecessary it shows the full amount on the right thats what it should show on the left one full amount one inventory space as it also does in my quick slot it only divides by 100 in inventory clearly to bloat your inventory

    Yeseeep and I’d agree it makes no sense but lots of UI to screen A, B and C make little logic in this game unless you’ve been around a while. Then you just accept it

    It doesn't "divide in inventory", it gives you a total elsewhere. The inventory stacks are the reality, the running total is just a handy reminder.



    ...and why are you carrying so many damn potions in the first place.

    Wtf are you taking about the point is it shouldnt stack that way no matter where you put it in the bank or anywhere its all the same item its still going to take up to much space its not like armor or weapons that i understand but consumable of any kind that are the same should stack as one item period its taking up to much space being divided like this i dont need a handy reminder of how many i have i need them all to stack up into one item its not rocket science how are people trying to find logic into something that should be so simple

    Solution: Add a potions and poison bag to ESO+ that works exactly like the crafting bag and done! Let them stack up to whatever in there.

    After all, the argument is exactly the same. Tradeskill items stack to a certain amount in inventory, but have no limit in the craft bag - could do the same with potions and poisons.
