Honestly

I destroy the extra, they are abundant

I wish there was a way to donate these or sell it

We need to be able to transmits a full 5 piece set.

what makes this a "need"?

pvp = AP = geodes simples

Zos officially stated that they did not want transmutation to be the main approach to getting your desired, finished set, that they wanted there to still be a "time" investment into completing a 5 piece set. In Cyrodiil you only need to reach 25k alliance points for each character to lock into that 1st tier, which nets you 50 crystals(per character) at the end of the campaign. 30 days is a lengthy period of time but who wants to play a game where you can get your completed endgame gear set within a week or two?

Naah. Its good like this. You NEED to learn that you cant have everything you want right away

Actually during the PTS when ZOS first implemented transmutation, the cost was originally 40 stones. They increased it to 50 (and also increased the amount of crystals that dropped from various activities.)

With it being the case that increasing the requirement to 50 from 40 being a deliberate decision, I don't think the chances of reverting it are too good.

Run random dungeons and you end up with way too much. And it is shared per account...I now just destroy them.

To everyone who has to much transmute crystal. Transmute random weapon to nirnhoned, deconstruct, get nirncrux, profit.

maybe for pvper

for pvers accumulating these crystals is a huge pain the a** and it would be really appreciated if there was another way to get more faster in pve... you probably have to run about 15-20 dungeons on average just to get enough for 1 item which is waaaay too many.

hopefully you can get these as well through the antiquities

I need to keep mine in the chests they arrive in because they are coming out of my ears. If you feel you have not enough, do tier one on your home campaign on each of your characters. Pledges, trials, battlegrounds are good sources too.

Transmuting doesn't use trait materials, so for transmuting into Nirnhoned you don't need nirncrux.
That said, this is something to do if you really have nothing else to do with your excess crystals and would throw them away otherwise - getting a nirncrux out of deconstruction is by no means guaranteed.

In theory, I agree with you. But you're not considering events where you can get additional 'bonus' transmute gems and not only that but when you defeat any of the final dungeon bosses, you have a chance to get a bigger geode that can yeild up to 10 transmute stones. Although I've never gotten more than 2 out of these . So if you're running dungeons on more than one char it shouldn't be that agonizing to achieve the required 50 to transmute.

On the dropped sets, you only really have to transmute jewelry because they don't drop in the newer traits (like bloodthirsty for example). The rest of the gear can be farmed and then I use whichever comes up first, preferred gear trait or 50 crystals. If I'm patient, I keep going and collect more crystals. If not, I use them and start from scratch again.

i agree the limit held should be increased to 250/300 but getting more than 50 a month is very easy
6 per day from pledges =42 pw
8 trials =40pw
total 82 per week without going into cyrodiil or battlegrounds

6 per day is very unrealistic. Very, very few people can do hard modes of vet dlc each day. More likely you're looking at 5 per day. On top of that, not every trial is reasonable to find a group for either.

More likely you'll get a group for the crag trials, ncr, and nss. So more like 25 per week.

So it's much more likely gonna be 30 per week from dailies, and 25 per week for trials.

A far cry from per month, but not as much as you're making seem realistic either for most either.

Beyond that a lot of people cannot reasonably do this much grinding during the week.

So let's check out something a bit more reasonable but still constituing daily play.

If they do like the dailies on the weekend, and 1 trials during each of the weekdays...they are looking at 25 crystals per week on the trials and 10 more per week on the weekend. That's 35 crystals per week if they are dedicated and playing each day but have a life that prevents them from playing more than 1-2 hours during the weekday.

Which means they'll take about a week and a half per pieces, or 15 weeks for the full set, nearly 4 months to transmute their full set. And that's people who are playing everyday without fail, and always playing something that will let them transmute. Most will take longer than too.
