Transmute Cap Increase to 1,000 with Update 28!

Taleof2Cities

If you're not ESO+ it still goes up by 5x (to 500).

Also, some improvements to PvE Transmute Stone sourcing coming ...

Actual amounts could change before going Live on November 2nd (just FYI).

Yay!

Starlight_Whisper

Wait I didn't see them mention better pve sourcing of transmute stones.

...I would quest for stones just saying....

VaranisArano

Nice! There's a QOL improvement I didn't ever expect to see.

I can finally get some of those geodes out of my inventory/mail!

Yes, they did mention that ... details on Monday PTS patch notes.

I'll curtail my excitement until I hear of the stupid Rapids change has been reverted or not.

Thanks!

The reason, you can collect drop sets and they will go in your collections. Then you go to a transmute station and recreate the item for mats and transmute crystals, in any trait your crafter knows, (that the items normally drops in.) The more items of a set you collect, by binding them, the cheaper it is to recreate it.

This is account wide, you'll need to log into all characters to add their unlocks.

I wonder if already deleted bound set will be counted? Probably not

Can someone explain a lil better the decon and reconstruction thing i see everyone talking about it but im hearing different stuff from different sources?

Cooool sweet thank you!!! This helps with inventory problems a bit. Please make siege stack too.

No. For the set piece to count, you need to log in with the character it is on.

Not good enough. They should be unbound so that they can be sold and traded. We have loads of pvpers who have more geodes than they'll ever need and pve'ers who desperately need geodes for all the different sets they use for different content. I get why they're not tradable but intentionally making the game more grindy isn't a solution.

Huh?


It's going to be a lot less grindy for everyone with the new system.

You don't have to keep gear set pieces in inventory anymore ... the Item Set Collection automatically stores any bound set piece accountwide for any set gear and ability-altering weapons in the entire game.

You may want to keep gear set pieces you've golded out the quality. Because it will be more expensive to create a new piece from scratch in your Item Set Collection at the transmute station (which uses gold improvement tempers).

But, overall, the new system will eliminate the need to re-grind gear after after it becomes bound to your account.

I can't think of any player (who understands this QOL improvement) wanting to go back to re-running old content.

Nice this is awesome news I got so many crystals I don’t know about others but I try to hold on to them for as long as possible 😭

This is awesome and greatly been wanted by the community in large. Plus I will be making a ton on reconstructed gear!!!

Reconned gear is bound. Can't even use it for research

With regards to the crystals I'm unsure as to why there was such a small limit in the first place. They implemented something we asked for YEARS ago and people are losing their minds over it

Major_Lag

Awesome. So now my transmute crystal mule can go from having a totally packed 200/200 inventory to somewhere around 180/200.
That's a MASSIVE QoL improvement!!!!1111!!111!!!1111! /s

Transmute crystal cap is moronically dumb and shouldn't even exist in the first place, especially not when a single character can easily hold a quantity of crystals about a hundred times over the current cap.

Does this mean PvP is fixed

The limit was low because transmute was supposed to be the last resort after you ran content 50+ times but didn't get the item you wanted in the trait you wanted.

I love the new system, but I think people who want to use it a lot are actually going to grind old content **more** because they'll want the complete set in their sticker book for the lowest transmute cost possible.

And I'm ok with that.

But can we buy/trade them? I’d do unholy things to just be able to buy them out of the store or from a PvP friend with gold. As a support main i’ve got about 10 million sets that are forever changing in traits depending on the meta, and really not enough time to change them all.

I think ZOS tried make us earn and spend crystals, but PVP gives you too much, PVE - too few and on top of that people suffered, but kept hoarding geodes, and they just gave up. Kinda.

Of course not.

It was stated the way players get crystals will be reworked.

No, @Astrid, you’ll still have to acquire stones through the usual means.

@redlink1979 is correct.

Some minor improvements coming to PvE geode drops.

I'd be fine if they switched the 50-cyrstal geode to level 3 rewards in PvP.

But in the end, if you run pledges any day and trials every week, you get plenty of transmutes, it's just a trickle rather than a batch of 50 each month.

Nairinhe

I meant that there is (was?) a general imbalance. And together with hoarding of geodes it gave an impression that system works not exactly as intended and devs kind of decided to pave roads where people already walk.
