Man we really need an increase of number of transmute crystals we can have!

Sheezabeast

I keep getting transmute crystals in my Anniversary boxes, and already being at 200, they go into the abyss Anyone else sad that the limit is so low? Anyone from Zos able to comment if this has been discussed with any degree of seriousness?

Just make them bankable like any other currency

Checkmath

they dont want you to be able to farm the newest BiS set every patch just in blue and wrong traits, so you can transmute the whole gear in one turn....

Too late, i already have some geode waiting for this.

This would just save some spaces if the cap was higher

Yeah I am having the same issue. I'm going to turn off auto-loot and hope that I can stop the crystals from disappearing. Hopefully I don't run out of to much space in my inventory with half open boxes

If they upped the gear level to CP200, then increased the crystal limit to 500 and allowed us to transmute items from CP160 to CP200 for 100 crystals each that would solve all the problems.

This just run shor or vivec campaign on an group of adds once every month.
The problem is this event and trials. Trials is worse as I tend to get into all craglorn then perhaps mol or AS normal trials marathons giving 15-20 crystals.
Drop them in geodes 1 or 5 like from dungeons.

Christ guys, how many threads about this same topic are you going to make within the space of a few days?

The transmute crystal cap is low for a reason. It's to help discourage hoarding of massive numbers of crystals so people can just instantly change over entire sets whenever a buff/nerf happens. It's to encourage people to keep playing the content, and not just stop when they have 940393040 or whatever ridiculous amount of crystals squirreled away.

Deal with it.

Id like to buy some. I hate PVP

They'd just lower the drop rate and restrict certain gear too vet content.. i.e sets would only be obtainable in vet and normal dungeons would just be for EXP + Story and the skill point of course.

It's not suppose to be a unlimited source of trait swapping. And it would be if the cap was to high... Just be glad you you can change traits.

It's like people have already forgotten the incredible RNG game of trait grinding that ESO was only a short few months ago. Now you don't even have to worry about what trait something drops in.

If you have multiple characters, and you PvP, best way to save is making AP on each of them and get the guaranteed 50-crystal geodes at the end of a 1-month campaign. Log on to each character, make sure the mails arrive, but don't open them. Subsequently log on with your mule, collect the mails, and store the geodes.

I am not sure how many AP you need on each character. It may only be 25K, e.g. reward tier 1. I have taken mine to at least 100K AP - reward tier 3.

Narvuntien

I have only a 100 cap. I have to just transmute random monster sets i have lying around. Whenever i hit the cap. I can't hoard just got to use them.

Vanthras79

I hope ZOS gives a good second look to how sparse these are. It would make the game less of a grind, and perhaps moar fun.

Yes it's only reward tier one needed, 25k AP. But if you play enough on a character to get a jewellery mail, you'll get another 50 geode with that too. Last campaign I was over 600th and got jewellery so it's worth a day or two in Cyrodiil

Ridiculous. When I get tired of playing, I don't play, period. Trying to force me to do something I don't want has the opposite effect of making me want to play. If ZOS shares your opinions, they should "transmute" them.

Right. But the fact that you're taking up inventory spaces with those geodes means that you're "paying" for the fact you've got more than 200 crystals. So that's fine with them.

Ah ... gonna hold the game hostage until you get what you want.

That one always works with the devs.

Double the quantity we can store please

I English up just destroying mine. Zos has done this just to be bag fillers

o yeah, "deal with it"...
as I have cap in currency for this and have in backpack 5 other geaodes for campaign end where is 50 crysteals in each geode
I dont see your point

to help discourage hoarding of massive numbers of crystals so people can just instantly change over entire sets whenever a buff/nerf happens

as I will be able to do it because of geodes in inventory

my friend specially farm..or farmed few months ago dont remember which tier reward...but this from which you get geode with 50 crystal on end campaign...and he was trying to farm this reward tier on every of 8 of his characters..

so iof people can do it and keep that many geodes on more than 1 character so what is the point of this stupid cap on those crystals in inventory currency?

think even on those "hardcore players" who can do things like this, who doing pledges or dailys on most if not every of his chars and do you think not so many players could do same thing with transmutation geodes? Im sure most of the best/hardcore/endgame etc players even nnow have enough transmutation crystals in just geodes to change their full build with traits

so as for me:

VaranisArano

Things you can do with transmute crystals when you are at cap, have too many filling your inventory, and want to fix the problem.

• Pull them off your mail on your mule character.
• Pull them off your mail on multiple characters so no one takes a big bag space hit,
• Transmute all those random set pieces you had laying around from the days when "Oh, I don't need this item right now but its a good trait so I have to keep it or it'll never drop again" was a thing. Oh and now the meta changed so you probably don't need Sharpened on practically everything the way you did pre-HotR.
• Transmute lowbie set pieces to Training for your leveling characters.
• Swap back and forth between PVE and PVP by transmuting armor back and forth between Divines/Infused and Impenetrable.
• Transmute random weapons to nirnhoned trait and deconstruct them for the nirnhoned mat which you can sell. Crystals to gold conversion right there, folks! (at least until ZOS fixes it)

Or you can beg ZOS to up the cap for Crystals.

The point is that you’re penalized for hoarding geodes over the cap because they take up inventory slots. Seems fair to me.

GoodFella146

It's what we all useless limitations. If we *** about it enough they're more likely to change it. If we took a vote to see who wants this increased it would probably be over 90%, meaning it should happen if the players are getting their way

Universe

oh indeed, a cap of 500+ or even more will be great
I have hundreds... of transmutation geodes & uncracked transmutation geodes on my characters and I can't do anything.
I did suggest to make transmutation geodes & uncracked transmutation geodes bankable but it wouldn't solve the issue.

Why is there a cap in the first place?

Gathering transmute stones is pretty slow for PVEers, PVPers get them quicker so they dont have to grind PVE content. Sounds fair and balanced so there’s not really a need for only a 4 item transmute cap.

It is to boost ESO plus subscriptions.
ESO plus has double Transmute Crystal Capacity.
A bit greedy

Ley

I have 2 players with inventories full of transmutation geods that would love for an increase in the cap. Once in a while I just transmute gear that I think I may want to use some day, just to clear up inventory space.

Sheezabeast

I have an idea, I wish we could combine lower geodes. Like if you have 5 green ones, you could combine them to 1 worth 5 and so forth. I have more green and purple on my characters that do PVE, more than my characters that pvp and sit on ones worth 50. Basically make them easier for us to keep in our inventory if you are unable to increase the cap.

Probably because as a dedicated PVPer I can get 50 crystals a month on however many characters I own. If we assume base max of 8 characters and that I can PVP with all of them in a 3p day campaign, thats 400 crystals every time the campaign ends.
