Please add Refinement Default setting with Min / Max options

I prefer to refine my materials one refinement at a time instead of in bulk. I'd like the option to set my default refinement to Minimum instead of maximum.

I've almost accidentally refined in bulk due to the default setting and actually did once. When you have over a thousand of a material, that's kind of hear breaking.

It seems like it would make a lot more sense to have the default at Minimum with the option for maximum anyway. If you accidentally did the wrong thing with the default at minimum, then it's not big deal... set it to maximum and then your set. The other way around is not the same. You can't undo it.

    There is a minimum, just press the button once instead of holding it, just like you did before they added the ability to do them all the same time.

    To be clear... this post wasn't about having the Option of refining the minimum amount... it was about having the option to set the Default to minimum.

    Well, you said default, which I completely disagree with as 99% of people would rather max be default.

    We don't really need the option either, as like I said, you can just press the button instead of holding it.

    So it's kind of irrelevant.

    Please re-read the original post. I did not suggest that the default should be set to minimum. I'm requesting that a setting be added so the player can set their default to minimum or maximum.

    It's not irrelevant. Re-read the original post.

    Just curious, but why do you want to refine one at a time? When you have over a thousand, that's a lot of clicking.

    It has been proven over time by the mass crafters that the refine rate for getting tempers is the same no matter the amount.

    Now, if you are looking to just refine some of your raw mats, you can off load to say a Home Container or a Mule AltUnfortunately, the Bank does not work as the station pulls from both.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    housing storage would work for that, because crafting tables do not pull from those (you cant see gear items kept in a storage container for decon/upgrade/transmute/etc)

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I'm not sure how I ever would have found it under that title. I did search ESOUI for multiple key words I expected would find any addon that performed the task.

    I don't know if it's been "proven" as you say, nor do I care. I haven't searched for an extensive study on the matter. I am personally more comfortable doing it my way. Options... I like options. As having the option would not ill affect you or anyone else, I don't see the harm in adding it. Instead of game design that caters to player options, we have to have a player created mod to accomplish it. That's fine.

    Regardless, I prefer the luck of averages to tossing the dice. There is RNG involved, so if you feel prone to misfortune, you're better off going with an average of many results.

    Each "roll" in doing them 10/100/1000 at a time is still an independent event. It's not like they roll once and multiply the outcome by the number of refines.

    I do have the data, if you care to ever look. Link in my signature. But you are always free to do it how you wish.

    If you're after gold mats, the best source isn't refining it's from max rank daily crafting writs especially with Jewelycrafting. The more alts you have with rank 5 platinum JC doing daily crafting writs, the more chances at chromium grains (1-2) and sometimes a full plating (10% chance) you get out of the box.

    Some don't realize doing daily crafting writs is a good source especially those with single or few characters who may not see bulk results with a dozen or more. Others may not bother raising alts to max rank either to understand the benefits behind doing so which is the point of my post.
