We need a furniture stickerbook

BXR_Lonestar

I was just going through my characters to clean out their inventories, which has become quite a task since they all have at least 10-20 stacks of transmute gems, but I also noticed as I was going through each character that over the course of the past few events, I have several pieces of bound event furniture pieces that I don't want to use. I then went to go to one of my "storehouses" to unload the furniture pieces when I realized that my main storehouse is at capacity.

It was then that I realized that we really should have a stickerbook for furniture/housing pieces - or at minimum, those limited time furniture pieces that are bound and that you aren't able to sell. Not only would that be a helpful way to manage these items, but it is much easier to go through your stickerbook to find the item you want and to recreate it than it would be to dig through my storehouse.

I could also see some propensity here to expand the furniture market if the stickerbook applied to every non-achievement related furniture piece. You can learn how to make a furniture piece by obtaining the blueprint OR by buying the furniture piece and deconstructing it (similar to deconning armor/weapon pieces). That might lower the demand for blueprints, but it would also increase the demand for furniture pieces themselves.

Lastly, if reconstructing them came at a cost of transmute gems (even a minimal cost of 5-10 gems), it would also help some of us with the overwhelming surplus of gems we have, and give us more incentive to decorate our houses (I have been slacking in this regard).

Anyway, just a random thought to further improve inventory management in this game, which is abysmal.

Imo the event furnishings should be made unbound instead. I do not need 27 jesters boxes.

Most of the furnishings from the anniversary and jester events are trashable.

They’re bound because you can buy them from the Holiday Achievements furnisher (Heralda), so there’s no reason to keep them cluttering your bags if you don’t have a project in mind right now. You can always buy them from her whenever.

I’m not concerned about the event furnishings but I would like a stickerbook for craftable furnishing plans. It’s absurd to not know if I have one or be completely ignorant of those I don’t have.

We’ve asked for it before and never got it, so hopefully that addon will come to consoles soon.

Furniture Catalogue addon if you are on PC/Mac. Maybe it will also be released later this year on consoles.

Well i see that we got a "furnishing vault" for ESO plus members due to some of the changes in our ESO subscriptions and the content that is included, but this is just going to create more problems for the server than it will solve. We will now have yet another bank-like storage system to try to hold onto all these furniture pieces, and all of those items will still be hanging out clogging up the server. And once someone hits the cap of 500 items (I know housing people literally have 1000's of items they're holding on to), they'll go back to having these items in a "store house."

IMO, a stickerbook for furniture pieces is just the best way to eliminate all the clutter and not create further storage issues.

Yes, having them available at an event vendor is nice too, but why should people have to pay gold for an item they already received before and just did not see a use for them until far down the road? A sticker book avoids having to incur the additional cost and solves so many other issues, I just don't know why it is not a thing at this point.

We already have a system where once we learn a recipe we can craft as many of the item we learned as often as we want. I don't understand what a stickerbook would do that isn't already being done.

I found a use for them, too. When I built a life sized music box I rotated the Jester's boxes so the top was facing forward then lined the sides of the music box with them as decorations. I ended up using about 12 or so of them and was glad I had that many.

I just want visible tracking. It is absurd that we have to rely on a google doc sheet that gets updated a few times a year to know which plans we have learned and which we still need to find.

If you are on PC get the Character Knowledge add-on. It keeps track of all that, as well as provisioning recipes, motifs and scribing and is very easy to use.

Edit: Just saw you are on console but maybe it, or something similar, will come there, too.

Sure, maybe. But the game already tracks everything else but recipes/plans. It makes zero sense that this wasn't implemented alongside other collectable/set trackers in game.

You people on PC play a different game than we plebeians on console.

On PC we just go to a crafting station and craft any furnishing we have learned the pattern for. Is it not like that on console?

Yes it is. But there are event furniture pieces that, to the best of my knowledge, there is no blueprint for so its not like you can just break them down and hope you can get them again down the road. So often you leave those furniture pieces in a "store house" just lying around in no particular setup as storage (many people do this). Not only is it cumbersome to go through when you do decide you want to use a particular furniture piece, but I'm sure the clutter doesn't help server performance (much like our bank storage and holding onto old sets apparently clogged things up - so we got the sticker book collection for armor sets). They could do this too for limited availability furniture pieces rather than give us a furniture vault, which is basically like another bank storage system that will inevitably get clogged up for many people, and potentially cause server issues.

The idea should be to allow people to be able to destroy existing furniture pieces (to clear out their storehouses) while maintaining the ability to recreate them later. In that way, deconstructing the furniture piece (like deconning armor) could also serve as an alternative way to learn how to make furniture pieces. It reduces clutter, reduces stress on the server, and gives players more options for learning how to make furniture pieces. It creates incentive for people to go out and grind for transmute gems (Assuming they're used in the reconstruction process), creating more incentive to replay dungeons or play in PVP.

Overall, I think it is just a common-sense solution to the problem they are trying to solve by giving plus members exclusive access to a 500 storage space furniture vault. It's just another box to get filled with junk before it spills over into other storehouses.

I have my inner hoarder locked in a cage in my Vampire Vestibule at the entrance to ... Kelesan'ruhn

Doomchar Plateau is my preferred warehouse as it's a very large open vista that I've no visions or ideas to decorate atm so there goes all my furnishing that's "maybe useful in the future" (N.B. I only use "earnable" houses)

The 500 storage space furniture vault is definitely a step in the right direction but I mosdef agree with OP that both a furniture stickerbook & an option to deconstruct furniture would be very useful.
