Please consider increasing bank storage capacity or changing how home storage containers function

Yellow_Monolith

480 bank storage spots with ESO plus doesn't cut it anymore with one stam and one magic character for each class and the home storage containers are too clunky to organise or find gear fast. If the bank storage capacity can't be increased, at least let us access our home storage containers from any banker. It would be a major quality of life improvement.

i don't have ESO+ and with two mule characters, one for hirelings and one for bank, i can manage without problem.

you don't have to save each set in the game for just in case a future use. Save only rare or hard to find items, like arenas weapons, or make up your mind on what sets you wanna switch from time to time.

it's hard to believe you don't have enough space with 480 bank space and craft bag on. But i do agree it would be nice to access home storages from places outside the home.

Just wanted to recap how much inventory space players actually have without the crafting bag ... since these kinds of threads get somewhat tiring:

- 15 characters with in-game gold or crown purchased bag upgrades (up to 140 each character) = 2,100 slots
- Mount bag space upgrades (15 mounts x 60) = 900 slots
- Personal bank space (with upgrades & ESO+) = 480 slots
- Home storage bins = 360 slots

Total: 3,840

Personal Guild Banks = 500 slots each (up to 2,500); limit of 5 guild banks


If a player doesn't have any personal guild banks, we're still approaching 3,900 inventory slots ... not including the crafting bag or stacked inventory.

So, the first question for any player feeling constricted on inventory ... have you hit 3,840 character and bank slots yet? Even without ESO+ you’d only subtract the double bank space (240 slots).

If you can't manage what you have in that allotment of inventory slots that's your own fault [shrug].

^ post above warrants a humor section to be added to the forums

240+120+200 = 560. Almost like one for each type of item for craft bag

I say i need more space. But that's ridiculous. I need less stuff.

I hoard pure and simple. that's the issue

Agree but you can have up to 18 characters now not just 15.

I don't understand how storage space can be such a problem for other people.

My characters each carry their own equipment. With 200 bag spaces each they can easily carry spare sets of equipment, food, potions, soulgems, lockpicks etc. and still have over 100 slots for drops. (And in reality most of my characters only have 1 set of equipment because I don't use all of them for multiple different roles.)

I don't have ESO+ most of the time so crafting materials are divided between my crafters inventory (he definitely doesn't carry spare equipment, except stuff I want to sell), the bank and a 60-slot storage chest for trait items and non-racial style items. I always keep the bank at least 1/2 empty so I can use it to pass stuff between characters.

I have a second storage chest for stuff I don't want to lose but don't use often like XP scrolls and indrik feathers and berries and a 3rd one which is currently empty but might get used for useful and hard to find equipment. Oh, and I use the house from the Summerfall promotion as storage for furnishings I might want later. Because each type of item is kept in one specific place I always know where it is, unless it hasn't been deposited yet.

I do periodically find my bank is filling up, but that's almost always because I've been picking up consumables from enemies faster than I'm using them, so then I just go through and sell or trash all the ones I'm least likely to use. Once it was because I had a ridiculous number of treasure maps I was going to use "sometime" but then too the solution was simple - use them or delete them.

My bank is full with quite a few motifs, so I would welcome a lot more bank space. I actually am surprised ZOS did not add this and more inventory space yet, since it is something they are selling in the crownstore, and could make them more money.

Add to this that my main character's inventory is full with stuff I mostly want to keep(memento parts, runeboxes, berries/feathers, daily rewards, leveling rewards, etc), I would also welcome more inventory space. A maximum of 400 would be nice for now. This would also cut down the amount of (annoying) times I'd have to visit a city before continueing questing or whatever I am doing. Going back to town is at times very inconvenient.

Edit: Increasing the space for house containers to all be 60 would be nice as well, but using a house to store is very inconvenient due to not having access to it like the bank, and it not being shown with what is in the bank. Which often made me forget I even have something. Which is why I hardly use house containers anymore.

Just don't hoard stuff. Only thing we may need is an extra space for furniture maybe.

I have a similar problem with my garden shed.

I was working on inventory management yesterday. I am an ESO+ member with max bank slots. When I finished clearing out my bank I was using 55 of the 480 available slots. Most of my characters are at 35-50% inventory capacity. My secret? Deconstruct everything I am not currently using that is easily replaced by farming or shopping. I use one container to save crafted pieces I frequently use. One for gear obtained in trials - which may or may not be hard to replace. One I keep empty to swap gear sets between characters. One I use to put research items in. One for guild store items for sale. And one I keep 2/3 piece set items I use (like willpower and agility jewelry). I also have one to store pvp stuff in (like coldfire siege, FC's, recall stones and keep repair items). And my other container is for sub-level 50 gear for new characters.

If you have that many chars OP how about using some as mules? I have 18 chars and some dedicated mules for the following things:

PvP Magicka and AD Siege
PvP Magicka 2
PvP Tank and EP Siege
PvP Stamina and DC Siege
Rewards for the worthy

Stamina
Magicka
Tank
Healer

Training Gear Stam
Training Gear Magicka

Furniture (just bigger stacks, one offs are in furniture houses)
Surveys and items for the guildstore


None of these chars is using more than 150 slots or I would have clean up too often since I also do writs on them. I have 100 slots in the bank used and my housing chests are also not very full. The big ones are also for Stam/Mag/Tank/Heal for PvE and the small ones mostly for Arena weapons and some other random things.

I do have a shared guildbank but that is just full of master writs since I am too lazy to do them regular. Could just have another mule with that.

I have pretty much all PvE metagear for all roles. That usually includes 5-7 body pieces + jewelry + weapons if they are used.

At the start of a patch I decide which MagDPS, StamDPS, Tank and healer I want to play for that patch as well as one char for PvP per alliance and then shuffle some things around if needed.

I have no space issues whatsoever since I have 380 empty bankslots which means I don't need to clean up daily either. It's just about organizing it properly and to not hold on to stuff that really isn't useful. Like recently I went ahead and cleaned out some really old sets I had in my bank for over two years without any use. If it's collecting dust for that long it's unlikely it will be useful again.

As a note at the end, keep in mind that PvP chars are really good mules since they don't really pick up anything.

Agree, the only thing you want to keep is bound items. no reason to keep non bound item around if you don't need them.
Prices tend to go down over time.

Second thing to drop is easy to replace gear. Armor tend to be easy to replace.
keep weapons or jewelry.
inventory insight is nice for keeping track of items you have spread over characters and in housing chests.

Yes, people hoard, and...? Does this mean they should not be allowed to ask for QoL upgrades o.O

Why should they have to waste time due to long loading screens between chars to access mules...?

It's not just extra sets and mats anymore now there are furnishings as well and no where to keep them (if it were not for decotrack I would lose my %$£"!^& mind. I know that, LOL)

Yes, it is doable as is, but even with bare minimum items kept, it is a huge time sink that takes away from game play.

Except you can't count other toons as bank space. So you can take 3,000 slots off your trolling post.

ESO is a fairly expensive game to get into and play as games go. Asking for and yes, expecting, more storage space in a game with this much gear, this much grinding for the gear, and this hostile of RNG, yes, it's totally reasonable to expect more storage space.

Why can't you count other toons as storage? This has been a practice ever since the beginnings of MMOs. It is not new and is a very common.

So no we do not really need more storage, use the tools available. Do you seriously have 18 main characters? I think not.

Even a person having each class and build would only have 12, 6 classes times 2 (mag/sta).

Cavedog

We shouldn't have to use characters as mules. Period.

The only thing a toon should have to carry is that toon specific gear.

There is no reasonable justification for ESO being so lacking on storage space. They continually add more gear and materials to the game, so they can continually increase our storage space accordingly.

It's not their intended purpose. People may use them as such, but that's not why ZOS made them.

The game doesn't come with additional character slots. Those have to be purchased.

Add ons like Inventory Insight make bank characters manageable, those on console don't have that and make up a sizable population. The load screens alone act as a deterrent to manually searching for gear on alt characters.
