Hi all,

I'd like TESO to have the ability to lock important gear so they cannot be accidentally deconstructed, destroyed or similar.

I have been very close to deconstruct gear I use (monster helms and pauldrons, V16 legendary gear, etc.) that I have in my inventory or bank to use depending on dungeon, boss, PvEing, PVPing etc.

Or any other gear you may have in your inventory waiting to be used, sold, etc.

I know I can pay attention, but, when deconstructing, it all comes now to paying attention in order not to deconstruct the incorrect gear, still, sometimes, because of different things (even real life disctractions), you can or are close to deconstruct something valuable.

Sometimes you have the same exact gear, just with one different level, or exact same gear with just a different trait, they are close one to another in the inventory list in the deconstruction window and you have to be very careful not to deconstruct the incorrect one, as they look almost identical.

Currently, the gear that you want to deconstruct mixes with the gear that you don't want to deconstruct in the list, and so I'd like the ability to lock items so they don't appear available to be deconstructed.

Also, when destroying, we should have a warning that we are about to destroy a locked gear / item at least.

Thanks in advance!

    On PC? Use the Item Saver addon.

    On Console? Well... unless ZOS decides to make their UI not suck, you're just SOL.

    If you use Wykkyed outfitter, gear thats saved in a set will have an arrow next to it to prevent you from selling/deconstructing it.

    On console, the only option is to make a mule.

    I made an alt for this reason. You can skip first quest and start in your faction's first town.

    Put things you want in your bank, swap toon, withdraw.

    Your main can't do anything then.

    Not ideal, but the best you'll get.

    Never understood why banked items such as armours show up in the deconstruction screen. Mats fair enough as that's useful, but gear I don't understand why that's included.

    If I were to download and install an addon for every annoyance I find in this game, I would have over 300 addons. Why don't we just get a better UI and option to lock items? Q_Q

    There is a hotfix for this already: It's called "being careful". Honestly... Zenimax should not be called upon because you made a mistake, and this isn't the first time someone has made a thread about this.

    That doesn't mean there could be an option to lock important items. Even when being careful, you can still make a mistake. No one's perfect that I know, and is anoying to have items that you don't want to deconstruct showing in the deconstruction list.

    BTW, I'm just requesting a game feature.

    Yes of course, but that is why I always get my info straight before I hit that button to begin deconstruction. As of yet I have only deconstructed 1 item I did not want to and all it did was cost me a trait to research which was not a big deal.

    That's what I do, and I'm currently running 36 addons. From what I've heard, that's about a normal amount.

    This game needs a lot of help to be tolerable.

    Because it was easier to just make everything the same way instead of having to differentiate or put a lock mechanism on there.
    In other words, as with most of the lack of QOL features...lazy.

    I still shake my head over how they put so much time, money and effort into the art, music, voiceovers, writing etc then completely fell down on basic things.

    Great idea, thanks! I have a dwemer motif and some high-level crafting materials that I can't use yet. This would be a good way to store them while freeing up valuable bank space.
