Will it stack? No, it won’t.

Why don’t glyphs stack?
Why don’t crown potions stack?
Why don’t crown fortifying meals stack?
Why don’t crown repair kits stack?

I have crown potions that aren’t stacking even though they are called the same thing and have the same stats. And no, they are NOT crown gem eligible (I get why those don’t stack). One stack is from level rewards one stack is from login rewards and one stack is very old.

You need to stack some things in your database or whatever Zos. I have 2 crown fortifying meals (one from leveling one from login rewards) and they won’t stack even though their descriptions are the same.

Non stacking glyphs dated back to launch, long before eos+
And no idea why they don't stack.
Solution is not to keep many around, you only need them for enchanting weapons and armor, its not like you change enchantments often.
Deconstruct or sell the rest, same as its no reason to keep BoE overland sets around in case you might use them.
You can always buy them back, with glyphs you can also easy make new ones on any crafting station.

I have plus. What I’m trying to do is leave nice little sets of things in housing storage for my babies. After food, potions, all kinds of weapons so they can level all kinds etc, the glyphs are just annoying. Also on these alts, they don’t have max bag space yet so having potions and food that doesn’t stack is really pressing me (so much of it is leveling rewards and they are character bound)

Reverb

They stack within the deconstruction tab of the Enchanting UI, so the functionality is in place, I can't think of a valid reason for it to not happen in player inventory.

Why trash potions stack to 100, when crafted ones stack to 200?

Character level rewards are character bound, daily rewards are account bound. That's why they don't stack.

Yes to ALL of these! Why, why,why??

Enchants dont stack becuase each one gets a unique ID. Not sure they can fix this. IIRC, it has been this way in all the single player games too.

The Crown store items have different internal IDs than the Gem Store ones and the Reward ones. If they cant use the same internal ID, then ZOS needs to change the tool tip so I at least know which of the two or three stacks I should use up first.

Game items which have a unique ID, such as glyhps, weapons, and armor, do not stack because stats/perks are only applied when the item is bound.

For example: if you make 7 identical stam glyphs, each is unique with its own ID because the second you place them on armor, the stats will change.

It's been this way since ESO was introduced, and it's unlikely to be fixed in this version of the game.

idk

The reason glyphs do not stack is for safety.
'
They contain so much energy and stacking them could be like crossing the streams. The effect could be devastating to all of nirn.

Why crown store consumables do not stack is likely due to someone at Zos not thinking things through very well.

It’s kinda of crazy if you think about it too much... A single enchanting rune takes up the same amount of space as a trebuchet, but you can also be holding 200 bowls of hot Solitude Salmon-Millet Soup in your pocket.

You gotta keep that BSW divines, just in case, or the Calurionns boots impen, or what about bloodrinker in case you want to make a stamsorc build.

Sloads stacks though, amirite?

dtsharples

Food / Potions crafted by other people, also do not seem to stack with Food / Potions crafted by yourself.
The items have a little note saying "Crafted By xxxxx" which makes it identified as a different object in game.

The same also happens if you, yourself create a potion using differing ingredients.
If you create a Restore Magika + Spell Crit potion using: X Y + Z ingredients.
And then the exact same Restore Magika + Spell Crit potion but using: X Y + A ingredients - they don't stack......

I still don't get it, though: it's an extremely trivial programming matter, considering the stacks are all just a bunch of arbitrary objects given that they already encompass a broad variety of different types. Such objects could contain unique IDs that don't act as an obstacle to them stacking, or simply have a flag that gets set once they're used. It's not really a reason to not do it, so I agree with other people who are curious about why it doesn't happen. I guess the same is true of crafted armour being bound, but while it's not bound it should be identical and only change when something is applied to it to make it not identical. If I craft 20 identical greatswords to sell to the handy vendor it makes no sense for them to occupy 20 inventory slots.

Items in my inventory is one thing...

But Christ All Mighty, please allow the Guild Bank to auto stack when depositing items...Or at least give us the option to trigger a stack from within the Guild Bank menu. It is not fun spending 20-30 minutes withdrawing, stacking, then depositing.

One problem with a game like this is the rationale for something 4 years ago when the game had no DLC, was smaller all around, etc. is it either no longer applies, is more of a nuisance now, conflicts with something, too lazy to update, etc..

I mean, look at their inventory system. I've played SNES rpg's that actually separated each piece of armor/weapon into it's own tab, and was able to split up items under a tabbed category as well. But here, you have to scroll down through everything....

One of those things where a bunch of dorks in the planning stage of the game were at a chalkboard in a boardroom "brainstorming" ideas how to make people waste their time doing nothing and not focusing on the game's shortcomings.

It is frustrating. But I believe the reason siege doesn’t stack is that they can have different health amounts to them. You could argue though that all siege at 100% health should be able to stack.

@Hulda et al: Here’s the thing though with the potions.

I have a stack of 9, a stack of 17 and a stack of 56.

When I drag the stack of 9 to the quick slot menu guess what the quick slot menu says?


82 potions in the first quickslot!

And when I use the potions does it substact from the smaller stack? NO!


Why. Why, why why. Why? why...

chimneyswift_ESO

Why does Sloads stack?
Why is Sloads still in the game?
Why...

Lol but seriously, I agree with the OP here fo sho

Sieges has health, think camps has to so they can not stack.
Geodes are containers.
And yes stack limit on stuff like crown items.

My first thought is why do you have 82 of the same potion in 9 different stacks all on one character?

Stack them. Any potion will easily stack to 82. BTW, it draws from them in order which is a logical condition set in the programing.

They don't stack because then they fill up your bank and bags so you must buy more, hopefully crown ones..

If I remember right there is an addon for that if you are on PC.

Ahh this issue annoys me so much - I have 2 half-stacks of most crown stuff that I have got from a mix of free crates, login rewards, and items from stuff like the crown store starter pack (I wanted the black senche cub!)

Please Zeni make these items stack, I beg you... it's ridiculous.
