Speaking of Collections...

WeerW3ir

Wouldn't be way too overpowered if you can collect literally ANY gear from collections after you have it? It would just destroy the economy both for guilds, and both for the sets., and NOT even that is the biggest problem. the biggest problem is you SHOULDN'T be able to collect any gear from the collections. not random rolled ones.

Just look the collections in Destiny games. Random rolls of the weapons/armors cannot be crafted, but the static rolls can be. so i suggest the same into eso too. no random trait crafts!!

it's true that it would hit a bit the economy for people that sell set pieces, but usually everyone hoards important sets rather than dumping them and then rebuying them when needed. So in reality i think this will mostly help the hoarding and the grinding.

It would make the less-desired set pieces have market value; plus, it would still be desirable to just buy the correct set piece/trait combo than to spend research and transmutation crystals on it. (Believe it or not, there are players who just don't craft and have no desire to do so.)

It still cost precious transmute crystals and the cost to gold out or even make jewelry purple.
An briarheart dagger or mother sorrow staff of bis trait might become cheaper because more transmute stones around.
But something with an junk trait is cheap anyway and you can transmute and gold out today.

For dungeons, well I assume they will drop more transmute crystals and it will be easier to get gear as people are not farming stuff they might use in 2 years as hard.

I really doubt this is going to impact the economy as badly as everyone thinks. People are forgetting that it takes Transmute Crystals to recon gear, and there are a lot of people in this game who don't regularly PvP and thus don't have a ready stream of Crystals to use. Yes, ZOS is increasing the amount of Crystals from PvE drops, but I doubt it's to any degree that lets people just start churning out reconned gear left right and center. There are, as was already said, also a lot of people who don't bother with crafting at all. There will be plenty of people still buying the more expensive set items because for those people it's easier to just buy the item than to mess with farming it themselves, and also because they don't have the Crystals to be able to craft things willy nilly.

And as has also been stated, this will actually give off-pieces like Shoulders/Helms, Mag weapons of Stam sets, and Stam weapons of Mag sets, actual value, as people will be collecting entire sets to make reconning cheaper and because a lot of people just like collecting things.

Agree with the above posters ... this is a minimal hit to the economy.

Monster Sets, Arena Weapons, and Dungeon Sets are all BOP and thus not in guild trader circulation.

Only Overland Sets are affected.

Sorry if this is obvious / has been talked about before - but is it confirmed that re-conned gear from collections is going to be un-bound, like any crafted gear? (ie. sellable)

Reconned gear is bound upon creation, so you can't trade/sell it.

Reconstructed gear is definitely not sellable. You can give it to your other characters only.

Arunei

You also can't use reconned gear to research, so you can't recon something and then have an alt research it. It seems like it'd be a waste of Crystals to do that even if you could, though, when you can just as easily make a level 1 tier 1 item with the Trait for another person to research and not waste temper mats/Crystals.

bmnoble

You still have to farm the gear at least once and a lot of people just hoard the sets they want in storage never buying it again anyway, don't think it will have that big of an impact on the economy.
