In a future update there is supposed to be a new storage UI separate from the regular "bag storage" space for collectibles so that your bank/bag isn't cluttered with such items and so that you might actually keep more of them.

In Update 6 there is a plan to simplify provisioning which includes getting rid of many lore appropriate ingredients to also help with storage clutter.

So... what do Provisioners (and other crafters) think of a new crafting mats storage area like the soon-to-be added collectibles UI? A crafter's pantry? You could still use the simplified recipe coding system but would be able to continue make a wide variety of dishes.

I was thinking of the following mechanic:

Basic Pantry: 100 space.
Each level of skill per craft (global): 1 space.

The skill per craft being global means whichever character on the account has the highest level for a craft. So if among all of your characters the highest level for each craft were as follows:

Alchemy -1
Blacksmithing -1
Clothing - 1
Enchanting -1
Provisioning - 1
Woodworking - 1

Your pantry would have 100 + 6 or 106 spaces. This would be a new account with a level one character. Here would be a more mature account:


Alchemy -50
Blacksmithing -38
Clothing - 6
Enchanting -5
Provisioning - 50
Woodworking - 42

Your pantry would have 100 + 291 or 391 spaces.
