Let us Sell Transmute Crystals!

Bobargus

If we are going to be able to sell transmute crystals, then i want to be able to outright buy them too.

According to Steam, I've averaged 60 hours of playing per week over the past 2 weeks. I have 125 transmute stones. The people who are at the cap, and have to play a mini game of creating items to decon them into mats: is running dungeons all you do in the game?

for me, i just dont use up transmutes that much

it compounds with other things too

if you have a full set collected, its only 125 transmutes to recreate a 5 pc set, which if you arent happy with, can then decon to get that full 125 transmutes back

majority of the gear i recreate is from fully collected sets, so if i want to change builds down the road, i just decon to get the transmute back

so overall my net cost in transmutes is very low, and i still have a trickle of them incoming from pledges, and mostly pvp (the 50 transmute geodes, sometimes 2, at the end of the month, then the uncracked ones which i sometimes have like 1-30+ of them sitting around)

so the only really useful way to lose transmutes would be to make weapons and transmute them to nirnhoned and decon

i pretty much never use transmute option anymore, i just recreate gear in the correct trait because most of the times its A) cheaper and B ) i can recover the transmutes if i dont like the set

Isn't the cap one of the buy eso plus mechanisms. Good luck with that. Even if they increased it to 5000 we'd still fill it and complain later down the line anyway. I destroy them, they are easy to get and also utterly worthless in reality. Its never an issue.

it would be a real bonus if eso+ had unlimited transmute storage, the double cap is not even remotely a bonus nor a reason people sub (the craft bag and maybe DLC access is the primary draw)

If we can't sell them, at least raise the storage cap and make the 50 crystal geodes stack.

Even if we could transfer them it would be something. Yes, Agreed it would have made sense to have unlimited crystals with eso plus and that would indeed be worth the sub to some folk. I don't have eso plus anymore so I destroy what I don't need or use.

I recommend booze.

I had a plan to reconstruct 3 sets of Spell Power Cure and give them to alts for running dungeons as healer, without having to strip and swap multiple times. This, I presume, I did while hammered.

So the next day I made 3 sets (so that's now 6 sets) only to discover: blam! No more excess transmute problem!

So, sup up!

I guess you could tramsmute some items and sell them. It's an extra step but it's essentially selling the crystals. Cheap though.

Just remove the cap.
There is no good argument for capping them.

The people who are always in need of them due to constant build experimentation will STILL always be in need of them.
It'll make no difference to those players. Now for the players like me who main tank and don't get nerfed every patch, the geodes pile up. Yes we can "store" them via reconstructing completed set items and filling our banks and home storage chests. I've done that. EVERY. SINGLE. SLOT. So now the geodes are piling up in my inventory again.

I right click and destroy them now. Storing transmutes in this way only delays the inevitable situation I'm in now.
So just remove the cap. Its detrimental and serves no purpose except to frustrate.

Just remove it.

You cannot sell transmuted items themselves.

If you mean to an NPC, then that’s not selling the crystals. It’s wasting them, and you might as well save yourself the time (and not mislead forum readers who are not familiar with the system) by just clicking destroy on the geodes instead.

that doesnt change the value of the item to sell to NPCs

you cannot sell transmuted items to other players because it becomes bound upon transmuting

might as well just decon the item to get trait material out (such as nirncrux lol)

I'm now guessing OP meant selling them to players. I don't sell things to players so it was lost on me.

Why would you destroy them when you can at least recon them for Nirncrux?
