Transmutation Gem Vendor

Love Wizard

Why isn't thing a thing yet? Add a transmutation gem vendor, price it at whatever you want. There's literaly no downsides, and it would be a fantastic gold sink. Stop forcing me to PvP every campagin ;_;

It’s not a thing because ZOS wants you running content to obtain gear ... not buying gear at the guild stores and changing the trait on a whim.

Don’t Like PvP?

You don’t have to do it ...

There are still transmute rewards for PvE.

@Taleof2Cities Dont worry in 6 months it will be lmfao

There are a fair number of Alliance zone pledges that I enjoy so I just do them when they come up in the queue and that seems to keep my transmute gem count adequate. What I'd really like is a boost to the cap so I could store more of them than 100 (200 w/ +).

That said, how others want to play and manage their gear is no worries to me. I wouldn't mind or care if they were available for sale.

What I much more mind is the very concept of 'ZOS wants you to (pick anything)'. I neither need nor want any input from a game's developer on how I should play the game that I paid for.

Very unlikely.
The gems are easy to get, just join a 30 day campaign, Sota-Sil is most causual. Join an zerg and do pvDoor until you get rank one. Do this on all alts. No skill required, you will get that in a few hours unless horible group, then just leave and come back next day. Do not collect multiple reward for the worthy mails on one day unless they are in danger of timing out.
this give you 1-2 RoW container with 2x5+ crystals and an sweet 50 crystal geode at the end of campaign.
You also get 5 from normal trials.

It takes about 1 hour/month to get 50 transmute gems if you home Sotha. Do that with each character and you'll be swimming in gems.

There's a downside from ZOS' perspective.

It would mean less players playing PVE and PVP content that give stones in order to get their transmute stones, which are supposed to be on the rarer side anyways, intended to be a last resort when grinding fails to get you the correct trait rather than the ability to frequently trait change whole sets of gear at once.

Pvp you get tons of transmute gems. Seriously, just hop into a campaign and join up with people. It's a lot of fun if you give it a chance, even if you aren't the best pvp player.

I just want a vendor where I can sell them, damn things take up all my inventory.

Pretty sure my stamDK's whole relequen gear is xmuted... same with my one of my other toons, like rocking 7 pieces xmuted gear...

LOL... Says the guy posting on the forums - I love the irony of it all!

Personally I would more than welcome another source for transmutation crystals. But if that never happens, I'm cool with that too.


You see, I just enjoy the game - even if I can't do and achieve EVERYTHING.

So they go to a campaign, add little to nothing for an hour, and then disappear for a month after "experiencing" not only a playstyle they have no interest in but the woeful, godawful Cyro performance.

This. Zos has avoided tokens for gear outside of one unique and solitary instance. Zos also wants people to play the game to gain the crystals and gave us many ways to gain them.

I think OP is being a little dramatic in their post. Even if you do the PvP thing as many do, it is laughably easy to get to tier 1 reward on a character, and fast to get all characters to that point.

If you dont want to pvp, keep running the dungeons till you get the trait you want. You'll be doing pve content that way, right?

The PVP people get easier access to transmute crystals because they dont pve as much and dont want to be "forced" to run dungeons to get pvp gear.

Not Emperor title but the new Empieror title added to the Jester's Festival with new achievements. Apparently there will be pie throwing and there is an achievement and title for doing so within Cyrodil. It is already in the achievement list in-game on PC for the curious.

I can already imagine the many complaints once it goes live. Everything from "why add PVP to a PVE event" to "these PVE pie throwers are making PVP unplayable"

You don't actually need to PVP for the 50 stone coffer if you hate PVP so much. Just go into your campaign, grab an AP buff from a delve boss and find a keep you can repair from ~70% to full. There's your Tier 1, no PVP required. (You could say that it's already possible to buy transmute stones with gold or AP, in this way, since all you need are wall repair kits and a bit of time).

Anyway, you'll get more than 50 transmutes just doing the pledges every day for a month, especially if you do vet hardmode.

I came here thinking that it would be such a great idea to have a vendor that we can BUY things FROM using Transmutation Stones - how disappointed I am that the thread isn't about that at all

But that's my suggestion anyways Let us use the hundreds of excess Transmutation Stones, that many of us have to purchase in-game items.
Be it furniture, armour, potions, food, siege - I really wouldn't mind. But having inventories full of unopened geodes on all of my characters truly is very annoying, even with the extra limit from ESO+

You just have to do some PvDoor


PvDoor is the name of the tactic of capturing empty keeps and avoiding fighting the enemy.
if anything the 50 stones is a bit easy to get.

Some of us only go to PvP for transmutes. How does that benefit PvP or PvE? I am only there to get my stones, I dont enjoy it at all. You as a PvP-er dont benefit from me, since if you are on my team I will just bring you down. If you are on the opposing team, youll get no satisfaction from killing someone that is a wet noodle. I am like the bow/bow magicka sorc that spams Mage's Wrath on enemies when they are at full health in hard mode vet dungeons - no one really wants me there...

Id be fine with system being the same as it is currently, except that every 30 days i would get 50 stones per character that i PvE with...like if that was possible id be all for it. As you said 1 hr in PvP and you get 50 stones in 30 days. What type of PvE can i do to get the same or even close to the same results? Make trial coffers give 25 transmute stones and Ill be happy with it

Cause that makes sense...no person wants to farm the gear and play the RNG game. you seem to think pvE-ers enjoy farming more than PvP-ers...thats false..

When they were first introduced I was hoping they'd be able to be traded.

If you do a random dungeon everyday, you will end up with 50 stones by the end of the month for sure. More if you do pledges.

One thing people are forgetting is that the reason these stones are more available in PvP is that PvE players are expected to run the content for the gear with the trait they want. This was a bone thrown at PvPers so they wouldn't have to do so much PvE.

Starlock

I don't know if a vendor is needed, as I'd prefer if the developers could add in some sources of transmutation crystals that don't require PvP or group content. World bosses and treasure maps would be a nice way of introducing transmute crystals to overland content, as would crafting writs. It wouldn't even have to be a guaranteed chance.

Like i said I'd like the reward per time spent to be on par...you are assuming PvErs want to run dungeons

Wow... this makes a lot of sense and I hadn't thought about it this way. I've bemoaned PvP before as a PvE-er, but I feel like this is a pretty balanced approach to things.

is there a PVE activity that rewards you 50 crystals? and that's just 20 mins on one character maybe quicker for some players.
