Give me more uses for Transmutation Geodes.

YstradClud

I only play one character and I have just about run out of inventory space because I have no other uses for these Geodes.

Honestly there comes a point when you should just destroy them or make a new character.

phaneub17_ESO

I play 18 characters and I'm always looking for more. I don't want to PvP and I'm tired of doing random dungeons.

I guess your right. Might be a sign its time to finally reroll.

I always seem to need more. I even put myself thru the misery of PVP every month for them. But I do like to experiment with different amour and the armory system just seems to call to me. :-)

If there's a set you've collected all the pieces of, you can reconstruct a bunch of set gear and stash it in coffers as crystal storage. I have 120 Hats of Frostbite for exactly that reason - each cost 25 crystals to make and each will give me back 25 crystals upon deconstruction. You can also use your crystals to transmute weapons to nirnhoned and then deconstruct them for a chance at potent nirncrux.

Yes I have already made another gear set for healing and I like the armoury system as well but I think I'm at the point I need to re-roll because the only other spec I really need to make is a tank spec and I don't think Templars are that great compared to Dragonknights at tanking.

Reconstruct 1 piece of gear for 25 transmute crystals. Put it in the bank.

Deconstruct that same item later on to get 25 transmute crystals back.

This is how you save thousands of transmute crystals beyond the 1000 limit.

I only play 1 character as well. (200 days played)

Once you expand the scope of your gameplay, you will constantly run out of transmute crystals.

Multiple builds for PvE dungeon tank dailies/pledges
Multiple builds for PvE dungeon healer dailies/pledges
Multiple builds for PvE dungeon dps dailies/pledges
Multiple builds for PvE dungeon trifectas for all roles
Sneak build for justice farming
Harvesting build with max run speed
Imperial City farm build
Multiple builds for Imperial City PvP build for both dps and heals
I currently have 7 different heal builds for PvP battlegrounds
Multiple builds for PvP battleground dps
Niche PvP battlegrounds builds (e.g. Meridia's Blessed for Capture the Relic, Max runspeed for Chaosball, Tanky healer for Chaosball, etc)
etc

I haven't even touched PvE raids or Cyrodiil.



I rebind keys 1-5 and play Mouse1+ASDF w/ inverted mouse. WASD has never been optimal for MMOs or FPS.

I do this too 😬

FYI, it is best to do this with items that have short names in the UI, to avoid taking up a second line of text. I recontrust Iceheart helms.

Second FYI, never reconstruct Mythic Items for the sake of future deconstructions. MYTHICS CANNOT BE DECONNED.

I have a couple of 50 crystal geodes knocking about but honestly if I hit the limit I just transmute a weapon to nirnhoned and decon for the potent stone.

With the cp perk slotted it's a very, very rare occasion that I don't get a stone back. NEVER destroy geodes you are throwing away gold!! 😱

just construct whatever amount of items for 25 crystals cost and save them. Whenever you need crystals, just grab that items, and decon them to get 25 crystals back.

Currently this is the only solution to store nearly infinite amount of crystals.

Tips one: Save the Cyrodil 50 crystal geodes end of campaign reward, they are you deep reserve.
Have an bank alt or alt you don't play much pick them up.
There is no reason not to have an bank alt unless you have 12 character, but make the bank alt something you might want to play as you can not transfer the geodes.
If you don't PvP, recreate an monster set or overland set you have all pieces of for 25 crystal storage.
Then you have enough for your liking transmute weapons to nirnhoned and then deconstruct them for a good chance at potent nirncrux who sell for 24K on PC-EU so destroying them is stupid as each crystal is worth almost 500 gold.
Note that one random normal dungeon give 10 crystals and two vet pledges and the normal dlc pledge give 7 on each character so its pretty easy to earn back.

notyuu

Use them to transmog a dagger into nirnhoned
decon nirnhoned dagger
sell nirncrus for gold
ta-da you found a use for crystals

That's great dedication to one character. I haven't done any trials yet either but probably better off sticking with PvE then PvP because I play on 200ms + latency.

Redguards_Revenge

I play one character without ESO+ and I constantly have to play the shuffle game for about an hour or 2 before I actually play the game. It's why I just wait 30 days for junk to be removed from my mail and play for a day...then quit for 30 days...rinse repeat...

ReeceLavellan

Something I use my geodes for when I reach 1000 is reconstructing jewellery with the triune or bloodthirsty (or whatever rare ones there are) traits, then deconstructing them to get that rare trait material. I can then use it for some master jewellery writs! I only play 1 character myself as well, so I know your problem! It would be nice to have something more to do with them though I do agree!

phaneub17_ESO

Here's an idea: Create Ensembles with Transmute Crystals that you can give, trade, sell to other players. They are player-made costumes that uses the style motifs you have collected that fit in the disguise slot. It allows other players to use the appearances of motifs or styles they don't own as a disguise item. The Ensemble items cannot be deconstructed so other players can't get access to the transmute crystals used to make the Ensemble. Each Slot takes 50 Transmute Crystals, a full body (Head, Chest, Legs, Shoulder, Belt, Glove, Boots) must be completed so each Ensemble takes 350 Transmute Crystals.

This is pretty much what most of my characters look like!

I definitely would not appreciate any more uses for transmute stones. I never, ever have enough.

My problem is a severe lack of crystals. I really don't understand why crystals are so heavily locked behind a pvp-wall. I hate pvp and while I am forced to do it occationally, just to get some crystals, I think the pvp community would be much better of without players like me (I mean, how fun is it to play with people who hate what they are doing and who only do it beacuse they have to - by design). Getting one single crystal for doing a normal daily dungeon is just - meh. I wish they would introduce more ways to get crystals; could be fun rewards for doing other specific quests. Or as login rewards.

They're stupidly easy to get.

I've started playing on a new server so been doing random normals for the xp on a few characters. You get 10 per random, per character, once a day.

If you're lucky and get base game dungeons (aside from like tempest island), you can do them in like 10 mins. Realistically, an hour for 40 gems is a very good return.

I have more crystals than I know what to do with.

K9002

Transmutation should be expanded to changing not just traits but also item styles. We can already convert geodes to trait materials such as nirncrux. Why not make it convertible to style materials? The expensive and coveted stuff like culanda lacquer, ancient sandstone, shimmering sand and so on. Same rules as changing traits - you have to learn the style page for that specific weapon or armor piece.

if you have done the latest vet trials and got the gold jewelry, can’t you can make gold jewelry to deconstruct for as little as 25 transmute stones, depending on how much of the set is collected? Gold jewelry mats are insanely priced, but yeah like many others have said, throwing it all away isn’t good
