Quantity Multiplier please for alchemy and provisioning

ButtersEP · July 2016

Like the title says, a quantity Multiplier ether by fixed amounts (10 20 whatever) or a free counter that lets us select. Crafting 200 pots and a stack of food right now takes way to long with the animation. It would be nice to click a few things and be done.

Yep, if your on PC there are a few addons that allow this, and they are nice (Multi Craft, Craft Store and Cookery Wiz are ones that come to mind)

I could not imagine doing this on the consoles.

@Nestor Are those addons allowed?? Mod said it's clearly violating the ZoS ToS/CoC

I don't want to get banned, but on the other hand I'm also looking for more convenient way in crafting these foods

Officially those add-ons (craftstorecook, multicraft, etc..) are not allowed. But everybody uses them and noone got in trouble (if they'd ban all users, 95% of the PC players would be banned).
They're in the "tolerance" area.
You can use them safely.

@Wow

I have been using these mods for almost two years now. I would not worry about it. While technically they might be against the TOS, in practice, they are a convenience item, not an exploitative one.

The Automation the TOS refers to is where you would gain a competitive advantage like in PvP or Trials like through macros and such. Automating the client side operation for crafting would not fall into that area. It's not like making 50 Purple Foods faster than the next player is going to get you anywhere.

Besides, they are among the most popular addons for the game. And, quite frankly, if enough use them, ZOS might add the functionality, like they did with the Loot Log (which used to be add on only)

Do you really believe it?

Just checking a few from my Minion: Lore Books almost 2 milion downloads, minimap 1,5 mil, Skyshards 2,3 mil - isn't it enough for ZOS to add their functionality?

@Gargath

I would imagine that those kinds of Addons are not something ZOS wants to integrate into their UI. I mean, it is a point of the game to find these things. Just because the community came up with a Lead a Player by the nose way to find these things does not make for a better game.

There is a difference between an addon that reduces button mashing and one that shows you where all the goodies are. It is why we have a Map that is all but blank when we first come to a zone. We are supposed to fill in the map with our travels and exploration, not have it already filled in.

So, you can include Destinations as a mod that probably would not make the cut either.

Gargath · September 2016

While I mostly agree with you, the number of addon downloads shows clearly that it is likely only small amount of players, probably newbies, who do not use these most useful addons and most ESO players use them and their map isn't blank like ZOS would probably wish.
By those downloads ZOS should see what they need the most from game. What developer could make is to implement these addons for better game stability, with a toggle in settings - who likes the map covered by skyshard locations, he gets it, who doesn't like, toggles off.
What about Master Merchant, Awesome Guild Store? These are a must for frequent traders, and not having them means only we loose time and gold. And especially MM needs to be implemented officially imho, since it likes to generate problems and errors with LUA thing.

no, that is talking about macros or addons, which would allow people to automaticly press multiple skill keys for them, which would give them unfair advance in fights in the game.

these addons just help you with crafting and yes, they are allowed, don`t worry

"Multicraft" addon is they addon you are looking for, yes
