I mentioned this in another thread, but I can't resist repeating.
I think a great solution for this would be to provide a separate storage for crafting materials, but make it cost like 20,000 or more. This way only the dedicated crafters will buy it and it will play into the immersive qualities of the game.
Sorry, kinda late coming to this thread, however what you say about focusing on the character is one approach but it only makes sense where each character has their own bank. With the bank restricted to the account - and up to 8 characters, all of which could be wildly differing levels, the limitations on the bank are far too restrictive.freddy_hgnrb18_ESO wrote: »I think this is where you, as the character (not a player) have to decide which crafting path to focus on, and possibly only keep materials for that, or those crafts.
Alternatively, if you have more than one character focussing on different crafts, use the in game mail system to send appropriate materials to those other characters for their specific crafts.
My nightblade is focussing on Woodcraft for Bows, Clothing (for Leather), and Enchanting.
At the moment i'm not keeping any Ore/Metal bars and selling them to improve my gold balance to buy more space in both bag, and bank.
Also don't forget you can 'feed' your mount once per day, and part of the bonuses is additional carrying capacity (1 space per day up to 100 extra spaces)
It all comes down to character specific focuses.
That's because in Skyrim we had mods that gave us unlimited bag space.Indeed, I'm starting to learn this. A hard habit to break, I must say.Yeah just because we have the ability to pick up everything that isn't nailed down doesn't mean its a wise choice to do so. So yeah just work on a few crafts at a time and vendor or sell to other players stuff you no longer need.
How do you transfer items for crafting to your other alts if your not allowed to send your self any mail?
Absolutely, I think we mostly agree that no single person should be a master of every craft. I just wish the bank was a bit larger or had mats tab. Typically in MMOs, I save as much crafting stuff as possible, since I know eventually, I'll have an alt in the profession.clocksstoppe wrote: »Imo it is perfectly justified to make it so that players cant be jacks of all crafting trades. If im a blacksmith and you are an enchanter, how would you feel if i could dump every rune i find in my inventory and will thus generate competition for you without having a single consequence, while still leveling my smithing at the same speed?
