Would you like a repair assistant and/or a deconstruction assistant?
Or even just upgrade the current assistants to include one/both of these features?


Whether they came as another reward for having ESO Plus or were sold on the crown store... I would love to have these assistants.

Let's pretend they were free, or whatever makes you happiest. Let's not worry about cost or how it would be obtained.
The question is simply, would you like to see these things in ESO? Do you think other players, or yourself, would enjoy having an assistant that could repair and/or deconstruct?

This thread is not about bankers gaining the ability to give us access to guild stores, or getting guild store assistants added to the game. While I agree that it's something I would like, that's not the topic of this thread. Thank you.
:)

    I would prefer that my merchant assistant had the ability to repair stuff instead of a whole new assistant. Still can't figure out why she doesn't have the ability while every other merchant in the game does...

    I keep repair kits in my bank, and as such, have access to repairs on the go via my banker.

    Not exactly what you're asking for, but it's a reasonable work around.

    how about a new assistant that can access the traders ur part of...and the ability to repair our gear at the craft stations...cuz u know I cant understand how can a smuggler have the knowledge to repair weapons and armors made by master crafters in the back of his alley...but the master crafter cant repair its own gear or create repair kits...

    I use repair kits that drop from completing crafting wris. I am swimming in those. Not voting, just saying what I do.

    First of all, I am not sure it would be worth 5k crowns (or more) for such an assistant/unlikely upgrade of the old one. After all, this would not be for free.

    I vendor anything below purple quality and decon the rest. I spend much of my times in dungeons and trials and get a lot of gear drops.

    As for the repairing, like others who have posted here I am awash in free repair kits. I cannot remember the last time I paid for repairs.

    I have a decent stash of crown repair kits just from daily rewards. My banker can provide one if I really need it, or I can just carry one or two around.

    I have basic craft tables in a storage container in case I need on-site furniture crafting, which doubles as on demand deconstruction. Assistants aren't permitted in PVP areas so they don't help with inventory there.

    I wouldn't use it because I often do the crafting daily quests so I have tons of repair kits (over 200 of the max level ones last time I checked) and I'm not going to use another method while I've got those. But I wouldn't be opposed to the option being added.

    Personally I think if it did happen it should be added to the merchants rather than adding yet another NPC.

    I would absolutely love it if they just upgraded the current to repair/deconstruct (moreso deconstruct). As most of my time is spent farming, I hoard materials, so everything I pick up that will yield materials is deconstructed, it would be very nice doing so while on the run instead of having to head back to do so.

    Just don't need them, or the "upgrade" to the others. What I NEED is that the two bankers I bought on NA should also be available on EU, darn it.

    I'm not buying the merchant anyway - I'm always running across wandering merchants as it is when not near towns.

    I'm perfectly happy if they make this an option for those who want it - I just won't buy it.

    My merchant should be able to repair my armor (if it's a gold sink, why not make it available in the field? Still won't work in Cyro)

    My banker should have access to guild functions. What's wrong with being able to deposit into my guild bank wherever? Or list items for sale as I find them?

    Or at least give us this functions in our HOMES!

    But like writ boards/turn in - player housing will never get features that would keep us out of towns.

    No makes sense how it is now. But i think all of us will agree if the current personal merchants and bankers gain full functionalities if placed in a player house.

    Once upon a time, @Gidorick roamed these forums - full of amazing ideas lightyears ahead of our time. He spoke of portable dyes early on, and now we have stamps! Well... look for yourself.

    Being able to decon on the fly would be amazing.

    Yes to the Decon assistant - my bag and bank seem to fill up too quickly lol and I need to be mindful to make sure I have space for actual useful drops - so I do leave stuff unlooted.

    If I could hand off the mostly useless stuff that drops in this game to a decon assistant to deal with - that would be very useful for me.

    I have stacks of repair kits from craft writs so there’s no way I’d buy an assistant or even use my merchant if she offered it.

    Wouldn't use it. Gear doesn't get damaged anywhere near fast enough for mobile repair to have much of a point and crafting stations are everywhere for deconstructing.

    I’m not interested in those.

    Deconstructing assistant after I’ve maxed crafting? Not needed. I only decon a third of the purples I get. Sell or use the rest.
    I have stacks of repair kits from 3 years of crafting writs and all the free ones Zos gives.

    If you want to buy it from Zos, go ahead but it’s not as useful as a banker/merchant.

    This is what I want:

    Fishing assistant: a Dwarven automata called the Fish Dwife that you deposit fish into and receive filets (+what ever the rate of Perfect Roe) back after a cute animation.

    No. Because for around 50 *** dollars, the merchant and banker should already be able to do those things. It’s absolutely criminal that they don’t.

    It's so much cheaper just to buy repair kits in guild traders, about ~50 gold each. If you do crafting writs every day, you'll probably get lots of them.

    But a guild bank feature for the banker, that I'd want.

    He was against these ideas, not for them...

    Edit to clarify; He was for these ideas in the scope of his own personal ideas, including "encumbrance". Not just having them to have them. He expressed concern over everyone just freely having access to it.

    You have repair kits and can find crafting stations scattered about the land. Most homes even have them now. Gotta leave some incentive to go to town from time to time. The merchant and banker that we have now is plenty.

    No, because the service would go down in value and it would have a bad affect on overall immersion, IMO.
