ZOS any chance we'll be able to bank Transmute stones in the future?

ks888

These things are taking up some serious bag space. For those of us who PvP alot, they accumulate quickly. Even an increase in how many a character can retain would be awesome. Any chance we can make this happen at some point? Thanks

Jade1986

For the love of Sanguine YES! The fact that we cant bank them, sell them, trade them, or even transfer between toons is downright ridiculous!

Why not just remove the cap instead? Makes more sense than banking which is a half solution at best.

200 limit is far too low. I’d also like infinit bag space for everything

Funny you mention infinite bag space. I view the Transmute stones as crafting materials and originally thought they’d just go into my infinite crafting bag (ESO+) with the rest of my mats. Seemed pretty obvious to me, especially considering how much crafting you have to know in order to use transmutation stations. Not sure why ZoS felt it should be treated any differently from all the other crafting materials.

I wish they'd just bite the bullet and make ESO+ infinite bag space for everything. When you take in the dirt-worst customer service and poor performance on cosnole I'm not getting nearly enough for my money out of my sub.

Infinite bag space with plus would make the game so much more entertaining because I would have much more time to spend on activities i actually enjoy such as progressing through difficult PvE achievements or playing PvP in BGs or cyrodiil.

They think that they need to place all these constraints and time-sinks on us in order to keep people logged in and playing, but adding something like infinite storage space to + will not cause me to spend any less time on the game, I will spend the same amount of time i do now, but just spend it actually playing instead of doing menial inventory/bank management. If anything I would spend more time playing the game with less busy work things such as inventory management/training horses, going to collect surveys that I've been to 100 times etc.

Give us infinite storage for ESO + now!!!!!

(yes i realize this will never actually happen)

Feanor

They could do that of course. But then they would drastically lower the drop rates because the reason the cap exists is to prevent hoarding crystals. I prefer it the way it is.

Turelus

The cap is there because they don't want you to be able to switch meta instantly without playing the content every patch.

However the fact they made them inventory items to start with before becoming currency has kind of negated that point because people can just store them in their inventories.

I doubt you'll ever see ZOS change these to be bankable or remove the cap however as it's working as intended and any inconvenience on the players side is caused by their attempts to bypass the intent of the system.

We gotta be careful talking about the eso+ sub. Used to be able to dye costumes all you wanted for free with it. Saviors might come in and remind us how good we got it. Hehe

Ehm, you still can dye costumes with ESO+... Don't think they've changed anything about it.

ks888

Yeah, but considering you get the uncracked geode's a ton in the Rewards for the Worthy, any one who PvPs on any regular basis has a ton of bag spaced used up by these things. It's like asking me to decon what I've earned by earning AP. Is ZOS' solution for us in the PvP crown to just earn less AP, thus less RFTW? That hardly seems like the right way to do it. I earned them, now give me a way to retain what I've earned without it interfering with what gear my toon can carry, siege, food, pots, etc.

ks888

Or - give me another way to consume them, convert them, something. I'm to the point where I need to just destroy so my character doesn't have to return to the bank if I want to stock up on siege and camps (since those don't stack).

Katahdin

They need to increase the limit to at least 500 if nothing else.

200 is way to low, stupidly low

Grimm13

Have not tried this, but will they store in the new house storage?

swippy

i don't think they'll store in the housing storage, because we can't even bank them. i assume they have the same flag as other items that can't move from inventory without involving the mail system (e.g. Runeboxes) but i haven't tested it either.
but even if they did it'd still be a pain. you'd probably get 1 slot per stone or something.

if they just allowed the geodes to stack it would go a long way. 1 slot for gold geodes, 1 slot for purples, and i don't even know if they have blue, green, or white geodes. let those hit 200 before starting a new stack (like potions do). it's a pain having to reassign every single skill point before i decide what to use my rewards on.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam

I like how everyone is saying the limit is 200, it's actually 100, just 200 for the subscribers.

Two hundred is exactly where they want it. When a new set comes out they don't want you to almost instantly convert a full five piece set. Kinda defeats the purpose of the new content/sets.

MMOs survive on content being repeated. These stones cut into how much players must repeat certain content to get what they want. Raising the limit or allowing them to stack would farther remove how often content is repeated.

The stones were never meant to remove the grind but simply replace the grind with one that gives a guarantee that you will eventually get what you want.

i see what you mean, and i even agree.

my wanting gold geodes to stack comes from my reluctance to waste something that, under the right circumstances, is very useful, and therefore desired and valuable. i hate wasting things.

but yeah it makes sense to not want everybody to perfect a 5-piece set in a few minutes.

method__01

also prevent opening geodes if you are close or near the limit cause the extra ones are wasted
give us the lock option at least-very easy to click onto them when browsing inventory

mocap

i could even buy crystals storage upgrade from crown store just to get rid of this geodes (i mean place them somewhere else).

If anyone has ever said why having a cap on these is a good idea I've yet to hear it.

Yeah... not buying it. The grind to get drops for specific slots would still be there and the other grind to obtain the stones could even be tweaked if transmuting was thought to be too easy to achieve.

All they've created with the limits is yet another inventory management hassle in a game already full of them. The stupid things don't even stack.

Again, ZOS solution would be to just drastically lower the drop rate. I’d not stir the sleeping beast in that regard. I like the way you can earn these in PvP, and I certainly don’t want it nerfed. I have a mule specifically for keeping stuff I can’t bank. It’s not a biggie.

Muttsmutt

logical decision considering ZOS' interests:

remove cap for eso plus

real decision that we have to accept despite it being against everybody including ZOS:

the system stays as-is

lolz... yeah I forgot that entirely. I always play subbed and forget the free account issues people are forced to endure.
More and more SWTOR by the year.

MLGProPlayer

Just get rid of the cap. It's a currency.

I get that they sell double the transmute slots with ESO+, but how many people are acrually going to sub for 200 transmute slots? That's not enticing. 200 is barely a step up from 100 and will still leave your inventory cluttered.

Ilithyania

yes plz remove CAP.

Tsar_Gekkou

They won't even let us bank runeboxes for god knows why, and won't even implement a search function for guild traders. I doubt they'll touch crystals and geodes, at least not for another year or so.
