Uncracked transmutation geode drops are BS

If it says it drops yellow between 4-25 it should be a random number in between not 4 crystals 90% of the time.

Same goes for purple it drops 2 crystals 90% of the time

Why are they so cheap even with ingame drops?

    The drop rate doesnt even make any sense financially, transmutation crystals arent purchasable in the crown store, so why make them such a chore to farm?

    @Earrindo Due to balance reason. You still want to play the game instead of being BiS ten seconds after obtaining the gear.

    Oh I understand that bit. But how does grinding pointless, endless dungeons (or pvp) somehow alleviate the grind of going for the optimal trait in the first place?

    It isnt that I dont understand the concept, but as a more casual player who wants decent gear, the transmutation system does next to nothing for me.

    You are guaranteed 50 crystals each month if you hit 25k AP in PvP. That's about an hour of just following the zerg in Cyrodiil and doing nothing. You also get 4-25 (so 4) crystals every day for hitting 20k AP (same amount of time as above).

    That's a lot of crystals. You aren't supposed to be able to transmute a full set. They're designed for the extremely difficult to farm items like monster shoulders and set weapons (vMA, vDSA, dungeon/trial). Body gear is easy enough to farm without transmutation.

    90% lol. I once, O N C E, OOOOONNNNNCCCCCEEEEE got 5 not 4. I can't even imagine how many of these I have opened. They should just stop the LIE and say that they contain 4 and the one in a million when someone gets 5 they will just assume it was a bug.

    I play pvp and i notice that i get only 1 gold geode every day (which drops 4 crystals) no matter how many rewards of the worthy i get. You just probably don't transmute that much

    No, its because i have multiple characters that i pvp with, and each of them gets a 50-stone box at the end of cyrodiil campaign for level 3 contribution. Plus the usual daily 4 stones for every char(got 25 today actually, but never saw that happen before).

    so every character gets 50 crystals at the end of campaign? I thought it was once per campaign, im mostly a PvE player but I do PvP once a day for the gold geode

    Pretty sure battlegrounds do not count towards cyrodiil participation. Not sure about imperial city(i rarely play in there), but i'm leaning towards no.

    Well that's where i get most of my AP. Cyrodil is a horse riding simulator, most boring thing I ever do in ESO, not even worth the 50 crystals, how much AP aprox to get level 3 contribution?

    Just to clarify, you don't need to put in a level 3 contribution to receive the 50 crystal reward at the end, you only need to reach level 1.
    However, if you get to level 3 and your faction wins the campaign, you recieve extra rewards, possibly including another 50 crystals. If you get on the leaderboards, that's another guaranteed 50.
    So, while it's totally unnecessary to reach level 3, it is possible to get 150 crystals a campaign as long as you're lucky enough to be on a side that cares to win the campaign.

    Because, before, in 27 runs you might get the gear piece you needed in the right set, in the right trait, maybe. (9 traits, three sets)

    Now, in 27 runs, you're pretty much guaranteed to get the gear piece you're after in a trait, and you can use the stones you've earned in those 27 runs (even at 2 per geode) to have the correctly traited item.

    The difference is pretty phenomenal, even more so with jewelry and weapon drops.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    As a casual player suboptimal traits are working out quite well. Traits become important once you want to tackle the harder parts of the game. But you can do most Vet Dungeons (barring DLC) with Impen or Invigorating gear. You will be less powerful, but people usually overestimate the degree of power you get from those traits.

    You are guaranteed 50 crystals each month if you hit 25k AP in PvP. That's about an hour of just following the zerg in Cyrodiil and doing nothing. You also get 4-25 (so 4) crystals every day for hitting 20k AP (same amount of time as above).

    That's a lot of crystals. You aren't supposed to be able to transmute a full set. They're designed for the extremely difficult to farm items like monster shoulders and set weapons (vMA, vDSA, dungeon/trial). Body gear is easy enough to farm without transmutation.

    Yea its possible, i never actually had less then 3 contrib (if i had any at all) :)

    Oh I understand that bit. But how does grinding pointless, endless dungeons (or pvp) somehow alleviate the grind of going for the optimal trait in the first place?

    It isnt that I dont understand the concept, but as a more casual player who wants decent gear, the transmutation system does next to nothing for me.

    You are guaranteed 50 crystals each month if you hit 25k AP in PvP. That's about an hour of just following the zerg in Cyrodiil and doing nothing. You also get 4-25 (so 4) crystals every day for hitting 20k AP (same amount of time as above).

    That's a lot of crystals. You aren't supposed to be able to transmute a full set. They're designed for the extremely difficult to farm items like monster shoulders and set weapons (vMA, vDSA, dungeon/trial). Body gear is easy enough to farm without transmutation.

    Just to add, i am getting my inventory clogged by 50-stone boxes i cannot open because i'm at 200/200 already. Cyrodiil has it's perks ;)

    I play pvp and i notice that i get only 1 gold geode every day (which drops 4 crystals) no matter how many rewards of the worthy i get. You just probably don't transmute that much

    No, its because i have multiple characters that i pvp with, and each of them gets a 50-stone box at the end of cyrodiil campaign for level 3 contribution. Plus the usual daily 4 stones for every char(got 25 today actually, but never saw that happen before).

    Just to clarify, you don't need to put in a level 3 contribution to receive the 50 crystal reward at the end, you only need to reach level 1.

    Yea its possible, i never actually had less then 3 contrib (if i had any at all) :)

    Ha! Same for me. By the time I care to look, I've already reached level 3. It goes by so fast.

    That's why I have a mule toon where I collect all my 50 stone geodes (login on your toon that receives geode but don't collect it, relog on mule and then collect it). TBH I have used this geodes maybe 4 or 5 times, usually what I get from RFTW is enough. The best part about transmutation now is possibility of retraiting jewelery that's why I suppose I may use it more often.

    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    Well if I play 2 Alliances, DC and AD, AD is probably gonna win but I have much more contribution with my DC character I can get both above 3. How does this work?

    Win or lose doesn't matter in regard to the end of campaign geodes, so long as you've reached Tier 3.

    You can also get 4-25's in the first RFTW mail of the day, easily done in Cyro or BG's either one, vs the 2-10's from Vet pledges, and 5's from trial weeklys.

    PvP is still the fastest way to earn, hands down.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.
