Zenimax, please, put the gear collection tab available soon!!!

I mean... knowing the new system is coming, now I'm struggling with my inventory trying not to deconstruct anything and hoarding my sets, lol.

PLEASE, can you at least give us the option of start adding gear to the the collection before the full implementation of the system?

You can, right? RIGHT? XD

Elvenheart

If you have any duplicates of pieces, now is the time to deconstruct/sell those so you can have room for pieces are normally wouldn’t save between now and then 🙂

Kosef

just farm the sets again once the system goes live. I'd only keep the dungeon sets right now. Overland will be easy enough to farm.

This, started this process. Any duplicate gear you will not use next month kill the one with bad traits.
You will want all three weighs of monster sets however.
Don't bother with overland sets you don't use, focus on stuff who is harder to get.

Inventory insight is very nice on PC:

If you have the space, save the bad traits. More traits you know, less it costs to reconstruct.

I am sort of kicking myself. I deconned about 1500 bound items in the spring of 2020. All were duplicate and inferior traits, but still, if I knew this was coming, I would have held off. I also broke down about 18 months ago and deconned about 250 arena weapons, again duplicate/inferior traits. Ah well. This new system is going to be pretty cool. Once it is implemented, I will probably decon every thing bound that is not already gold, as I dont use purple gear anyway expect maybe some jewelry.

idk

Pretty sure that the answer is no. We are testing it now and offering feedback and that includes the part of the collections.

If you are not a subscriber that is an added 240 bank slots that can be obtained for a small price. Make sure you have all chests and if that is not enough, maybe another alt.

I’m kicking myself because years ago I got a BSW inferno staff on a low level character before I even knew what it was. Of course, it’s long since been rendered into materials or is in the vaults of some npc vendor who is having a good laugh at my expense right now. I’ve tried for years to get that staff back at 160cp, and probably have every BSW set piece BUT that one just ready to be absorbed into my sticker book 😔😂

(P.S. Just yesterday City of Ash was one of the pledges so I did it on normal with five different characters, but of course I didn’t get the inferno version. I even got another restro staff out of a chest of all places. For just a second I thought it was the inferno one. 🤪)

Tenthirty2

Can someone shed some light for this poor noob?
Why are some ppl mentioning having to farm overland sets and other gear again???
What's changing?

I'm only CP200th-something but have 2 epic sets that I'm fairly happy with rn. I don't want to have to farm them all over again?

Elvenheart

Well, with the sticker book, once you have a piece that’s bound to you, you will never have to farm for it again, just reconstruct it at a transmute station if you ever get rid of it, or decide you want multiple copies for other characters. Anything you currently have now that’s bound except for crafted sets will automatically go into your sticker book. If you ever get rid of a set and decide you want it back, you just reconstruct it in a trait you have learned. But reconstructing pieces cost transmute stones and materials, and to reconstruct pieces for the lowest amount of transmute stones you need to have every item in that set unlocked in your sticker book. So people are now going to farm for pieces just to unlock all the items in a set in their sticker books.

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, but doesn't the system only apply to bound items? Overland items are bind on equip, not bind on pickup. I thought the new system was only for bind on pickup items. Is that not the case?

Ok, now it sounds like the market for every single piece of equipment just bottomed out and every major trade guild will be in danger of folding up shop.

Nah, most major trade guilds ride on gold mats, not overland gear.

Also, there will now be a market for "off" pieces of overland sets - heads and shoulders, body pieces of BiS weapons etc
This actually increases the market.

Now I tend to buy weapons with trash traits and transmute already. Purple jewelry is already expensive too upgrade so better to buy with the exception of briarheart

Now we getting more transmute stones might have an larger effect

redlink1979

Deconstruct the easier sets pieces to get if you really need space because the new update only goes live by 2nd November on PC n 10th November on consoles.

Expecting the set collections any sooner than that it's a bit delusional.

traits don't matter (those are based on the research that character has done, just like regular transmutation)

The only thing the "sticker book" tracks is the item itself. So, if you get a Perfected False God's Inferno staff in Decisive. It's added to your book, and you can create a Perfected False God's Inferno staff in any trait that character has researched (so infused, or nirnhoned for example)

So, as long as you have 1 of the item itself, you're good!

There is going to be major fallout from this for trade guilds I think. It's going to effect my sales bottom line very noticeably I think. I guess we will see. I'm really nervous about this change now.

@tmbrinks
Looks like you are right on that. I havent been on PTS. I read it as the more traits you collect on an item, the cheaper it is to reconstruct. But I guess that is not right. So if you want to spend 25 crystals to make an item, you need 1 of each piece of armor and one of each type of weapon.

So I guess its not the traits you want to hold onto, its the weapons you would never think to save. Staffs on stamina sets, bows on magic, etc.

That is admittedly probably better. I read it as wanting to farm all 9 traits of each item, not so you could reconstruct it (based on research) but to lower the price. Good clarification.

You missunderstood my point.
Whats the point of the whole game if you just get once the weapon and after it you can just duplicate it any time? Okay. Raid gear, dungeon sets fine. But random zone drops? You can literally call down everything after it... The only way would be if they implement random rolls so the random rolled gear cannot be collected. Okay. You have it as a sticker in your collections. Like in a pokemon sticker book. as a dude said before. But collect everything? Seems way too much... And makes the whole mmo part dead.

Just compare the collections to the one in Destiny games. You get a random rolled weapon. You have it. But you cannot collect it again. Now you have a weapon which only have one roll. You can collect it anytime. This is what eso need as well. Have a sticker book. But do not be able to call down the random trait gears!!!

I still don't understand what you're getting at. For random zone drops, you realize that right now you can get what you want through transmutation or just buying the trait you want from the guild vendors, right? This just makes it less of a hassle.

It's no more easy or difficult than it previously was. You still have to obtain the item through the same means as before. This doesn't change the difficultly. It makes the process less time-consuming and saves bank/bag space. It also reqires that you've invested the time in researching traits and farming transmute crystals.

Elvenheart

If bind-on-equip weapons we don’t need because we already have them in our sticker books (or in our inventories) stopped dropping for us, we would lose a source of materials, the ones we get from deconstructing items. It would also make learning traits harder too. Also, we would lose the opportunity to sell the weapons we don’t need for ourselves on guild stores to people who might not have them yet in their sticker books. And instead of grinding for that last weapon in a set, we might rather buy it on a guild store, too.

This, you save the good trait items, the bad ones you can just recreate, earlier you saved it if rare drops because you could always transmute and upgrade but farming it again might be an pain.
Today I killed off all blue jewelry I had duplicates off in blue or higher quality. Same with monster sets of bad traits and duplicates in set and weight.
Got an prayer shawl resto staff on an 46 doing random dungeons, its an joke set so probably get an buff down the line and get an role so keep.

Well, if you like grinding trials/dungeons because you deconned gear from there that wasn't used for YEARS... and suddenlyit's meta again, be my guest.

I for one, welcome being able to do something other than grind continuously for gear.

You realize new players STILL will have to grind all this? Do you have any idea how many YEARS I've run vCOA and *never* seen a BSW inferno staff? This isn't making it too easy, it's making it less controller throwing frustrating.

When BSW was BiS/meta, I had TWO mag DPS that BOTH needed 2 BSW staves. FIRE staves, but you could lose the back bar DPS with lightning and still make vet trials cutoffs.

I ground for months... I *still* do not have either of those staves, AT ALL.

Please tell me how if rngeezus *ever* chooses to bless me with one that being able to duplicate it is a BAD thing.

I feel your frustration. Many years ago I got a BSW inferno staff on a low level char long before I knew what it was. Of course I no longer have it now. For years I’ve tried getting another one but no luck. 🤯
