Please lower drop rate on style pages or make them sellable to merchant.

The702Guy

Especially with the UI issues lately, the drop rate on these things are overkill. 7 boxes from crafting dailies and I get 4-6 pages from those boxes. They don't stack, they take a long time to destroy because of the UI issues, and they absolutely flood guild banks because no one needs them after 2 days in to a 2 week long event. At the very least please make it so you can sell them to your merchant, they don't even need a gold value.

Edit: A lot of people are saying to just move them to juck and mass delete but that is not an option on console. You have to do them 1 by 1 with 3 sec timer.

I'd like to know why I can give then to another player, and I can sell them on a trader, but I can't put them in my housing chests or the bank.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

They are SOOOOOOOO annoying. I almost feel like they are deliberately trying to annoy people that farm a lot of boxes. Actually, forget "almost". I am convinced its intentional.

I would be fine if style pages simply stopped dropping once you have them. I have hundreds of these in mail limbo between my main and alt account. Its the only way to consolidate them if you want to outside of annoying the crap out of a friend with a trade window. They dont sell in traders because they are WORTHLESS.

Has anyone made an addon to auto destroy these things? You cant even sell to a merchant, wouldnt care if they gave 1 or even zero gold. They are pointless garbage, but even that being the case, you have to individually right click them all to mark as junk.

We are being trolled.

I wish I could /agree with OP more than once. These things need to be burnable in game.

I feel like ZOS went the "corrupt a wish" route on this one. Players like style pages, sure. But this is just way too much of a good thing. There are 6 different gold styles and they all are basically worthless due to high drop rates. I thought they settled on a system where old event items would go to the random ticket boxes and not clutter up the current event loot tables?

It is helpful that newer pages actually stack, but the inability to store them in banks makes management a pain still. ZOS has got some great ideas, but this part of the reward implementation was not very well thought out. What's the reason we can't sell these for 1g again? Would it break the economy in some way?

SilverBride

For awhile I was giving them to guildies, but the last couple of times I tried no one wanted them. And they didn't sell in the trader even at cheap prices. So I ended up destroying them.

TwinLamps

Its always either pages drop too often or so rare you need to play 12h per day to get any.
I dont mind the current drops, I sent these to my alt accounts and in the end give them away for free to low lvl Bleakrock folk.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

I don't understand why they don't make the old style pages stackable like the new ones.

colossalvoids

Most annoying event yet having max char slots, wouldn't mind even 0 selling price, just anything to get rid of it.

Actually, the new "Imperial" ones DO stack. So ZoS has the technology to make them stack. So it should do so.

Otherwise, you're right, although the "Destroy All Junk" option does work pretty well.

Not entirely worthless. I sold a bunch of the Companions and even Jephrine Paladin style pages in the weeks before the event.

I gotta ask for how much? I cant give these things away.

If you are willing to let them take up space and hold them for 8-10 months they do go up in price a little but honestly not enough imo to make it worth the space.

Ingenon

I find that I cannot give them away or sell them. So I delete them as I am opening the crates. On console, there is no bulk delete, so I end up deleting them one at a time. Which is a bit slow, sigh.

hexnotic

destroying the paladin, and prophet etc pages is going to be a pain. i wonder if the dustman add on has a setting that automatically destroys these?

Sturmfaenger

I would like it if they would stack and/or would fit into my bank - the newer ones at least stack. It would be very friendly to install that feature into the older ones, too.

This is so valid. Seriously zos, why can't these be stored in a personal bank? I truly don't understand the logic there.

Please consider making them stack, storable in a personal bank or chest, and sellable to an NPC merchant.

I'm spending my very limited free time everyday cleaning them out of the guild bank

I mark them as junk and then, at end of day, choose Destroy All Junk on the junk tab. I am on PC, but I don't think this is an addon. I think it is standard game functionality. Can you do that on console? I am not sure how much time that saves you on console. On PC, you literally have to spell out the word "DESTROY" with the keyboard, so doing it one by one is a nightmare. I imagine that is not required on console, so I am not sure if that is saving you any steps.

Starlight_Whisper

Just be careful when too rare we get horrible events

FangOfTheTwoMoons

Agreed. I had so many of the style pages and imperial motifs I went on a destroying spree and ended up deconing a Symphony Helm Motif. >__<

In retrospect I shoulda just marked them as junk, but my rage blined me lol.

It's only a standard function on PC sadly.

Speaking as someone from Playstation you have to press a button to delete it, wait around 3 seconds and then confirm that you do really want this item to be gone. Standard. Afterwards small lag spike duo to the current Server state..
So all in all I would say deleting 1 page takes 10sec at least. It's annoying but managable for me.

Nestor

Here is the quick and easy way to get rid of them:

Mark them as Junk. Then go into your Junk Folder and Delete All Junk. They all go bye bye.

This avoids the annoying DESTROY you have to type in to get rid of each individual one.

FaylenSol

I just put them in my guild bank. My friends and I managed to get a small guild formed and use the bank to have a bit of a page share between us. Most of us are still newish to the game so most of these pages we don't have.

Last year I just left pages on whatever character, and as I would go through them, I'd check the prices on TTC. If it was going for less then 200 for that page, I'd destroy them. Some of my characters I didn't get to for inventory cleaning untill months later. By then, few people were selling these style pages. I could get 1000-2000 for a Lyris page. (Fair warning, this was during the year of Greymoor.)

Since then, someone taught me how to mark items as junk. I put a lot of pages up for sale the first day before prices crashed, some of them have still sold at 500. The rest I've been junking. Be careful with that, I almost junked a gift box.

I have one character who will probably hold the pages they got. And other than a Sai Chest armor page, that's all I'll save to sell later.

Alphawolf01A

In addition to making ALL style pages stackable, maybe an option to combine a set of style pages into a single book (like Psijic Ambrosia pages). Then it only takes up 1 space instead of 7+, and if the books were stackable, even better.

Quick and easy way for PC Players, yes.
A solution reaching further than that would be highly longed-for.

Day 1 of the event the new pages sold. But once day one was over, the only page that really sells is the Sai Sahan Jack.

Everything else is just annoying trash that takes too much effort to delete.

Consoles do not have a junk option. Only destroy.

ThorianB

Out of 6 boxes on one character i got 8 style pages...I hate these things.

UntilValhalla13

At least remove the timer when trying to destroy them.

On PC you can right click to move them to junk. When you need inventory space you go to junk and hit X to clean it all out at once. It is the easiest way to get rid of them.
