Cap on transmute stones?

I’ve been playing since beta pc. Now I am on PS4. Can somebody please use their intelligence and get rid of the cap! It is seriously not wanting me to do dungeons any more. I love the dungeons, but then I have a “thing” taking inventory. Do something with them like undaunted keys, make those a currency. 😲😆

    I believe Zos's thoughts on the matter is the system is intended to make the grind for gear less of an issue but also that we still do content because we cannot stock up on the stones. Seems logical.

    What most of us do is we stock the largest which come from the 30 day Cyrodiil campaign rewards and use the rest, discarding small geodes if we are not needing them.

    Currency unlocked I ment. As I’m not doing the dungeons anymore; they are great to do. Once you hit the max 100/200 excuse my Frenchman but your f*****d

    What needs transmuting? I don’t need anything doing? Apart from next patch. However I’m not one of these min/max people. I like my character and I’ll always adapt. The fact is I can’t do dungeons anymore because of too many transmute stones. It has stopped me from doing them 😭

    Don't want to use them on your regular gear?

    1. Craft a level 1 weapon.
    2. Transmute to Nirnhoned.
    3. Deconstruct for a chance at Potent Nirncrux.
    4. Profit?

    Yawn. I’ve been doing that for years mate.
    My argument is I think the transmute mute cap should be lifted higher.

    Ah, I see.

    ZOS isnt likely to do that. They don't want transmute stones to be the primary way of getting gear in the proper trait, so restricting the amount players can store in currency or their inventory is all a part of that.

    Just because you don't use your stones for that purpose doesnt make that less true for most players. The benefit for ZOS - players have to play more content to get the stones they want when they want it - far outweighs the benefit to individual players having less inventory issues (and how ZOS causes inventory management issues deliberately is a whole 'nother essay).

    So I suggest you use those stones and clear your inventory if that's truly what's making you not run the dungeons you want. (Its not actually stopping you.)

    Selling the Potent Nirncrux, if you get one.
    Best used when you have more than enough transmute stones for your needs.

    If you dont need transmutes, then why do you want the cap lifted?

    You're not helping your argument

    Destroy them. Why not? Or transmute something to nirn and decon for mats. Turn stones into a bit of cash. Maxed out decon passives will give you 75% of a potent nirn from a weapon.

    And you are pointing out exactly what Zos probably intends, that when new gear comes out players will still do the existing content to get new crystals.

    Beyond that it really seems like you do not need them and having a surplus does not stop you from doing dungeon other than you choose to stop.
