Marked as Junk

GeorgeBlack

How come items we mark as junk, dont stay and go to the junk category?
Why should I mark an item as junk and go to destroy them all together, when I can just destroy it on the spot.

If mark as junk worked properly, once I marked all those style/trait materials as junk, they should go in that part of my inventory until I unmark them(and then I can destroy them every hour or so.)

So Zos? Can you rework this tool and help us save some time every day?

Zolan's Junk Handler, if you're on PC. There are other addons for junk as well (quite frankly I wish I had downloaded Zolan's far earlier, it's amazing.)

I'm pretty sure the point is to mark everything you want as junk, then it's just two buttons to sell it all without worry of selling something you want to keep. There is a sell all junk option at vendors.

Yeah, console. Xbox. We hit Y to bring up an item context menu for things like split stack or stow or lock/unlock or destroy or link in chat. Never seen mark as junk.

For you, does it show up as an option for any item, or only some items in some situations, such as only unequipped etc?

It shows up for any item that is in your bag, there is Use, Split Stack, Link In Chat, and then Mark as Junk. Hm, that is odd that you don't have anything like that on console, it makes life faster.

Can I have your style material?


Basically what you are asking for is to have stacked items put into junk if there is already one in junk?

You have to click the "Are You Sure?" Nanny button each Destroy, where you do this once when Destroying all Junk. So, less clicks over all.

In all my time of playing this game, I have never found one piece of junk. Sure, sometimes I have to destroy an item to make room for another item.

Console typically is a lot more of a hands-on experience. Pc has an automatic transmission with power windows, console has the 5 speed stick shift with hand crank windows.

I started eso about 2.5 years ago, so some has changed, but when I started... Where pc buys the game and gets free connection, we also have an extra platform subscription to cover. Where pc had text chat forever, we had an on screen keyboard to hunt and peck letters on a controller, that showed up in the ‘say’ word bubble, and people randomly playing the radio into area voice which is like jamming all unsecured communication signals. Where pc had combat logs to record and process actual damage numbers, we had an external stopwatch to count the number of seconds it took a person to kill the bloodspawn boss before the ceiling collapsed: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/244687/blood-spawn-dps-test

So I’m not surprised that pc has this Mark Junk quality of life benefit. It’s not the first nor the biggest by far.

There is an addon called JunkBuster.
Its amazing, especially because it lets you automatically move all stolen items in the junk-category. You wouldnt believe how convenient that one is.

I get confused by this issue because on my main account, things that I have previously marked as junk (foul hide, carapaces, etc.) always go into the Junk category, and I'm not using an addon for it. On my secondary account (purchased about 2 years afterward) and on friends' accounts, the stuff always ends up in Miscellaneous. I like the way it works on my main account, but I've never been able to figure out why it works that way without an addon.

I use my junk flag for the opposit of junk. Most of the gear I use on my characters is flagged as junk, so I can easily take it off and put it in the bank to pull it out with another character. I also tend to throw any keepsakes or alternate gear in the junk folder.

I started doing this before the ability to lock items existed, and the only down side is the gear showing up on the deconstruction screen. But in the 4 years of putting my most valuable items into the junk folder I have never accidentally sold them.

Thanks for the links to the junk handling mods. ^_^
