I burn thru too many of these and the process of obtaining is slow, all to just delay builds from being complete. This I consider more a convenience item, can we please either speed up rate of obtaining or add them to the crown store????

✭✭✭✭✭That's as pay2win, as it gets. Any alternate means of transmutation stones will kill the market of proper traited item market.Edited by susmitds on November 7, 2018 4:29PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Hell no.
This, But I really do not think we have to be concerned Zos would add such things.
Suggestion for OP. Get each charcter to tier one reward level in a 30 day campaign. That will grant each character a 50 gen geode. Also, open whatever RotW you get once each day to get a geode that will grant 4-25 gems, usually 4-10 though.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Opportunities for additional transmutation stones are averaging once a quarter. You'll want to gear as many characters as possible for Undaunted Celebration for the Mysterious Reward Boxes, then keep an eye on both the ESO Anniversary event as well as the early-than-expected return of Midyear Mayhem.
Then just have your crafter ready to transmute a piece of gear every 50 stones so you're never that close to the cap.signing off0 -

LOL, gear traits are not that important. You lose only a fraction of a percent of damage with each trait that's not optimal. You'll be hard-pressed to notice the difference. And it's especially irrelevant for doing random normals for the Undaunted Celebration. Weapon traits have more impact, but still not going to make to break you in PvE. Optimizing trait is about as useful as golding out armor--i.e., "nice to have" but not "needed" by any stretch of the imagination.
If you're doing competitive endgame content, then yes, you'll probably want every optimization available, but if you're doing that kind of content, you'll have no difficulty getting enough stones (and you'll have enough gear drops that you often won't need stones).Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

Some players probably have a few characters they've never run dungeons on, and may be hesitant to include them in this event. But because it's a lot of free stuff including collectibles unique to the event, it's worth running the event on as many characters as possible per day.
For my "second string", I'll keep a Damage build, a Heal build, and a Tank build in one each of my housing coffers. So long as my skill points are allotted correctly on each character, I can just take the build I need and queue that role.
It's surprisingly stressful to run dungeon events on 14 or 15 characters per day even on Normal, so starting to prepare now - who queues what and needs to use which items - will make the event as a whole feel less... daunting.signing off0 -

✭Ever heard of Pay to Win? If not, you just described it.
It's not though. Pay to win is adding masters weapons and gear to crown store, or access to these things strictly thru a cash shop.
This is pay for convienence. Transmute stones are available in game, I didnt ask for that to be removed. I asked for crown store to supplement. All the current system does is slow me down instead of allowing me to properly trait "on demand" so I can play competitively in what I enjoy (pvp). Instead I have to wait 30 days, or open reward bags 1 day at a time for RNG.
I am playing multiple characters at a competitive level and constantly swapping gear that require retraits.Edited by Malamar1229 on November 7, 2018 6:13PM1 -

So? You don't need your gear to be in perfect traits to run dungeons for the event. You don't even need to use dropped gear--just craft Julianos/Hundings plus one other set. This notion that somehow transmute crystals are something that everyone needs is downright ridiculous.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

If you like PvP how are you not drowning in them? Every toon to 25k AP each month won't take you long. That's easy 5-600 a month adding the ROTW ones.

Lots of gears. This doesnt impact others negatively so I dont see the big deal really. It's a matter of convenience and convenience comes with a premium. Repair kits and potions are also in the store....0 -

This is pretty much it. Beside gear being very much secondary to how well someone plays, traits are even tertiary.
As Code pointed out earlier, for running normal dungeons during the undaunted event having gear perfect is far from necessary.0 -
Acrolas✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭The point wasn't the traits themselves. The point was to dust off characters and use them during events that specifically award additional transmutation stones. Undaunted, Game Anniversary, and Midyear Mayhem are the three best "speed up rate" returns on the stones.signing off0 -
