Can we please get rid of or increase the Transmute Crystals Cap from 200?

I understand the idea of rewards existing as an incentive to run content, but the converse is also true - if you can't use the reward, it's a disincentive to run the content.

@baratron, if you think the only use for transmute stones is for changing the trait on set gear, then you are certainly welcome to place that limitation on yourself ... which ignores the advice other forum-goers have posted.

What advice? Are there actually people saying "transmute non-set pieces that have no bonus" as if that suddenly makes them much stronger without a set bonus??!!

Yeah, I'm mystified because transmuted pieces are not only Bound to your account, they are also locked to prevent you from using them for research on another character. So you can't transmute a crappy Iron Sword to Nirnhoned and then use that as a free trait research item.

And unless things have changed since the first or second Clockwork City PTS, you can't decon a transmuted item to get the new style stone out, so it's not a source of free Potent Nirncrux either. (Although an Xbox One player says that he's done it, so I'll have to try it on the current PTS, which is the only place I'll have spare Transmutation Crystals.)

No but you can transmute to nirn decon and sell the nirn ... Or bank it what ever floats your boat

Rake · January 2019

yes

SugaComa · January 2019

If you have such an abundance of crystals then it's not like they're rare ... So I would simply suggest of you're not using them either trait change and decon for a chance of getting that trait stone as an item or just throw away spare nodes you will get more dead easily ...

THEY SHOULD STACK UP IN THE CRAFTING BAG INSTEAD OF TAKING UP INVENTORY SLOTS !

Remove the geodes and pay the crystals directly. Make them character bound and not bankable. Reduce cap to 50/100 (double for eso plus). Remove chance to get trait stone from deconned transmuted gear. Nerf sorc.

Everyone is happy.

Forgot to mention that transmuting must make an item character-bound, else there's no sense making crystals character-bound too. But yes, absolutely sensible proposal. Oh and I especially liked nerf sorc. ^^

victory.immortalb16_ESO · January 2019

As I'm relatively new to transmuting, the limit for me does seem really low. I need 50 per piece, and have two sets I'd like to transmute so I can use them, for a total of 700, not to mention more for the weapons and jewellery.

No idea why there is an artificial cap on the total you can hold, but a more sensible cap would be 700 which would be enough to transmute an entire toon's gear, jewellery and weapons.

Or just not have a cap at all, which would be fine with me and would free up some space!

It's not intended to be used as a substitude for looking for gear in the right traits, it's just that you can't get all jewelry sets in your desired trait without transmuting them.

This is what I was going to say but without capitals

Just have them in the crafting bag the 200 limit isn’t helpful because of how easy to get at the end of campaigns

Changing them to a crafting material we can keep in the craft bag would make a lot of sense.

Twohothardware · January 2019

Can we find out if the Transmute cap is being looked at?

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Hearts_Wake · January 2019

No cap please.
But,
If we were able to stockpile crystals we wouldn’t have to farm for them. And if we have crystals we don’t have to farm for fear. The balance they want to keep of people playing content to get things needed is a fine line here.

On the same hand. I done paid for all my bag space. Stop forcing me to use my space on rng geodes. And it would be cool to bank them.

I know it would be to much as well but,
Lemme stack em

SaintSubwayy · January 2019

The cap is just there to look bad

Honestly you can stack up to 10k crystalls on one char (200slots with 50 er geodes) and the never bother to gain more...

Kind afunny really...having a cap thats so easyily avoided

Cap serves no purpose for game balance.

30 slots tied up right now on my main character with uncracked Geodes.

Are you maxed out on bank, character bag, mount inventory, and home storage bins on all 15 characters?

If the answer is "no", then you don't have 30 slots "tied up". You have 30 slots you've yet to unlock.

I, for one, have all 15 of my alts with max inventory space, max bank space, all my home storage bins...and I'd really like at least an increase on how many crystals we can hold XD

What does that even mean.

You can't bank geodes anyway.

Setting the cap at 200 doesn't mean we're deleting and not keeping all the other Transmute Crystals we constantly get when we've already got 200. It just means they are taking up our precious inventory space for no good reason. I have 10+ slots on each Character holding uncracked Transmute Geodes. Can we get rid of this artificial cap at 200 altogether or at least increase it to 500?

My name is BadShogun and I approve of this message.

KhajiitFelix · January 2019

YES PLS

Jazz_Funk · January 2019

I don't know how they decided on a number of 200 but it is too low. I either have not enough or so many in small numbers sitting in containers that I don't want to open because I have reached the 200 cap that the containers are taking to much inventory space.

SaintSubwayy · January 2019

Removing the Cap is actually overdue...the Crystalls are already coded as a Currency, just remove the cap already.

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Ppl will just stack the Geodes in the inventory.
Like your bankaccount cant hold more money...ah I just keep the paycheck at home then, till I can turn it into money... or would you just throw it away?

Tigerseye · January 2019

Agreed.

Caps don't make me use things, they just make me more hesitant to keep doing the content that accumulates the item/currency in question.

Jakx · January 2019

I've got 12 50 transmute crystal boxes sitting in one characters inventory. The cap is stupid. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in before they monetize the ability to increase your cap by 5 transmute crystals for 1000 crowns.

richo262 · January 2019

I'd say 250 non+ and 500 ESO+ is an ideal position.

All I do when I hit cap is transmute a junk weapon to nirn, then decon for pot nirn.

Nerf the crafting bag too

Sure, as long as you are prepared to refund everyone their ESO+ fees, since they started paying them.

Or you can persuade ZoS to do it.

...because other games have crafting bags, with generous caps, sub-free.

Not to mention easier ways to list things for sale than this game does.

I don't think they can be made stackable because every Geode comes with a varying amount of Crystals. They just need to majorly increase the cap or remove it.

I think it's more like they respond to rng.

So, every time you open one, you get a different number of crystals, within a certain parameter.

Therefore, they could stack - as it is not a predetermined number, per geode, or anything.

It's just a random throw of the dice, each time.

kind_hero · February 2019

I don't get it why people would be against having more crystals. What is it to you?

I have 200 crystals plus around 200 more in geodes (gold ones with 10-50 each) spread across 3 chars. So I don't have as many as some players here, but since I can keep these geodes for ever (I keep the 50 crystals geodes as backup), I do not see how the system prevents me from having more than 200. It is just annoying that several inv slots are taken by these items.

I only see this limit as an other reason to sub, so you can have 200, but 200 is not that much since we have jewelcrafting, and people tend to play with JC traits quite often (infused, swift, protective, etc)

You would argue saying this is a reason to reach the cap less, but many people, like me, want to have more crystals for times when new gear.

I would increase it to 200/300 or more

If they want to keep the higher Transmute cap as another reason to sub that's fine but the caps are way too low with respect to the number of Crystals we receive from daily activities. Raise the ESO Plus cap to at least 500, 1000 would be even better.

Twohothardware · February 2019

@GinaBruno Can we get some kind of dev acknowledgement on this transmute cap and whether we can get it raised for the next DLC?

Nearly 100 here in the PTS forum have clicked agree on this post that the cap is too low.
