transmute crystals

    Still waiting for the upfront cost for one transmute.

    Because if it's more than five this system is bollocks.

    So, you want to be able to transmute something everyday for doing 2 normal dungeons?

    If the punchline is 'your an entitled child who wants everything handed to him' you dont get an answer.

    I didn't need one. We all know the answer.

    Yesterday in a few hours of playtime I got more than half the crystals required for a retrait by doing exactly what I normally do in ESO on weeknights. After one evening of not doing anything different I'm halfway to a BIS trait on my powered Maelstrom fire staff, or decisive Infallible staff, or charged Ravaging dagger, or.... That's perfectly acceptable progress in my book.

    Believe it or not, but we don't subscribe to your newsletter, nor are we following you on social media. None of us was sitting next to you when you did exactly what you do normally in ESO.

    You may want to tell us what exactly you did and what you got. Your comment as it is is rather useless.

    This, now it looks like PvP get plenty of drops from reward from the worthy.
    Now this can be an bug as in drop chance is higher than expected, it might also be ZoS way to get more players to PvP.
    Time to zerg a bit after the event :)

    I noticed that new characters got lots of reward for the worthy then I leveled pvp on them, far more than caracters with fully leveled pvp skill lines. so leveling pvp noob characters might work well

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I doubt that’s true. AFAIK it’s one Reward of the Worthy per 20k earned AP.

    I'll have know my newsletter is at a record number of subscribers!

    Yesterday I did a couple of pledges, spent a little time in PVP, and finished the night with a run through vHRC. I got 26 crystals by the end of the night.

    Of course, I would have received far fewer crystals if I had spent the evening in solo PVE questing. But that's only fair, since traits are virtually irrelevant for solo PVE questing.

    Last night I ran with 4 people to check this all out. We did a random normal, swapped characters, random vet, normal pledge, vet pledge and vet HM pledge. Out of the dungeons we did, not a single person in the group received anything from a final boss.

    Normal Undaunted Pledge - Fine (Green) Transmutation Geode which always gives 1 crystal
    Veteran Undaunted Pledge  - Superior (Blue) Uncracked Transmutation Geode which can give 1-3 crystals
    Veteran Undaunted Pledge Hard Mode - Epic (Purple) Uncracked Transmutation Geode which can give 1-10 crystals
    Your first completed random dungeon through the Grouping Tool per day (per character) (normal or veteran) - Fine (Green) Transmutation Geode which always gives 1 crystal

    [edit] I'm thinking I'm going to need to learn how to PvP to get more at once. Once I've retraited my main items I think the system will be fine, as you'll slowly get items to retrait so will have built up a stock of crystals. It's just the first start that's a bit rough.

    Just do you you normally do and see what you get. That’s how the system is designed. Posting in the forums is one of the only things that won’t get you any crystals.

    Can't wait to get home and start farming! Should be 5 per pledge so need to do 10 pledges a day from now on. Probably a bit of PvP as well....

    and for what? a bit dps more, lol
    ppl start having fun once again!

    Well in hindsight I realize my plan to grind this stuff won't be a thing - drop rate is a bit lower than I first thought.

    Well I'm also having fun again so all is well I guess.

    Btw. yes I chase stuff in this game for weeks just for a bit more dps :wink:

    I know, I also knew mail was full of them after leveling pvp on an character first time during midyear mayhem It was weird, yes I might have messed up and mail from previous one was added to.

    On one character (I've not played in few weeks) upon login, I've got: RTFW mail with geode (probably from the last time, I logged out before I've received the mail?), campaign end (with gold), campaign end (with geode), then I've got like 22k AP and found two additional RTFW (with geode in one of them).

    I've heard the AP count for RTFW is not restricted to session, so it would seem I was at 18/20k the last time I've logged out.

    First rewards for the worthy mail of the day (Large Uncracked Transmutation Geode, 4-25 crystals)

    Doesn't look as if it's that simple. "First rewards for the worthy mail of the day" may be an oversimplification.

    I PvP'd for a while yesterday evening and received my first ROTW mail at 22:30 local time. It contained an uncracked geode which rendered 4 crystals.

    I Pvp'd for a while today at lunchtime. I received a ROTW mail at 13:40 local time, my first one today. It did not contain a geode.

    So, what exactly is the "First of the day"?

    Is there in fact a cool down of 20 hrs or 24 hrs between these "guaranteed" rewards? There was only 15hrs or so between my two first of the day ROTW mails.

    Does anyone know?

    Question @RaddlemanNumber7 , what is your local timezone? It could either have a cooldown, or "reset" at a set time like writs and pledges.

    I'm pretty sure it resets at the same time as writs etc. For me this is around 7 or 8 AM CET every morning.

    Edit: yes you might be on to something that there is a cooldown between the rewards of the worthy...

    Alright. I'm MDT which is currently "server" time I believe (pledges reset at midnight for me). 8:36am here now.

    So your first RFTW was received at 3:30pm MDT, your second was at 6:40am. I think that crosses out the thought it "resets" at a standard time. Either the reset time deviates from other "standard" reset times in game, or possibly a cooldown.

    It might be an timed cooldown 20 or 24 hour like random dungeons. For random dungeons you see the reward is 1/3 of normal before timer is up. Don't think its any visible for rewards.

    And yes it look like PvP is the best way to farm them, reward for the worthy is very fast to get.

    To all the entitled whiners in this thread. Transmute is not something to replace your grind but to supplement it. It was an official response from the devs.
    I play how I want to.

    These random timers that we have to personally keep track of are really starting to tick me off. Is it too much to ask that crap resets at a set, standard time for everyone like a normal game? Seriously? It's not gonna give anyone an upper hand.

    I got my next ROTW mail at 19:15 local. and that had an uncracked geode in it. That's just over 20 hrs from the last ROTW mial I received that contained one.

    So, from this, it looks like there could well be a 20 hour cool down on the guaranteed geode drop for ROTW.
