At least make a zone table or maybe an Alliance table that has a pull down menu that can hold all zone or Alliance sets.

174 is the limit, assuming we never get a new profession. After that we won't be able to fit them all in one house anymore.

174*4= 696. This would be all of the sets in all 4 equipment stations (blacksmith, tailor, etc).

And then the other 4 slots would be occupied by the transmutation station and consumable stations, e.g. enchanting.

You'd have no room for lights, or flair, or anything else but it would all fit.

It's already too many crafting sets, with very few of them actually being useful and cool

I don't know why they keep adding more and more sets every update - many of crafted sets are boring and add nothing worthy to the gameplay. It feels like they exist just to make people buy more crafting stations for their guild halls

Like the OP, I've collected all the sets for my own house. I love housing and wanted to use it's full potential. I also love my house and what I've managed to do with it. Because it's something I've done for myslef I don't just want an empty house stuffed with sets, I want something I can be proud of which at the moment I do.

Already I'm having to make sacrifices to keep up to date; I've been full for over a year so each new zone I need to remove things to fit in the new sets. On top of that I can only physically fit in another 2 or 3 zones before I have to abandon any aesthetics and just cram them in.

There definitely needs to be a better solution but for the life of me I can't think of anything that would work well enough. Hopefully something can be done in the next year or so tho, before I have to either ruin my house or give up on new sets

I think they should only release 2 craftable sets per zone dlc/chapter

All the alliance sets are identical and in triplicate. They could cull 2/3 of crafting stations from the base game zones now that One Tamriel lets others into different alliance zones. If you look at the name of the set and the lore, it is clear that one or two of those sets don't belong in that region. Hundings belongs in DC, not EP/AD.

From there, they could move 1 from other zones into the base game zones (it would be a freebie, so doesn't have to be a desirable set). End result is most zones will have only 2 crafting stations like Craglorn.

Regarding crafting stations themselves, i've requested multiple times that this endless sea of crafting stations in guild halls is getting ridiculous and is just consuming the furniture limit in households.

My ideal situation
1. Writ vendor ONLY sells 1 basic crafting station of each type.
2. These standard basic crafting stations now go into your collectible tab, can be placed in any house.
3. Writ vendor sells Animus Stones for 50 writs.
4. Animus Stones have a dual function now, either used to create training dummies, or take 5 (250 writs worth) to any crafting station in the overworld and it will imprint the station upgrading your standard basic crafting station back home.
5. Your collectible basic standard crafting station now has a drop down menu that allows you to craft the newly imprinted set and other that you add.

Convert all existing Attuneable stations to either 5 Animus Stones (if not attuned, or a mistakenly duplicate attuned) and for the attuned ones simply unlock that crafting station so your standard basic station upgrades and is now able to craft that set via drop down window.

End result, you have 1 Blacksmith station that you have upgraded via Animus Stones (250 writs for 5, same price) to have a set added to it, and you can keep adding sets.

Furthermore, you could have it so that guild members can share their unlocks in the guild hall, Player 1 has imprinted 10 crafting set, Player 2 has 5 different ones. Both players can craft 15 sets, but only in the guild hall. Plus whatever the house owner has imprinted. Take a lot of stress off guild masters to collect all these sets, most will still do it eventually, but in the interim only takes 1 guildie to collect it for themselves to share with the guild. If not that, at the very least, guild masters won't have to go through the hassle of reorganising their sea of crafting stations alphabetically when a new crafting set comes out.

I am 4 more craftable sets.

However, the sheer number of Crafting stations need to be addressed.

Maybe we finally need a Guild Hall.

1. Main Area, normal house rules apply
2. Seperate Load Cell Crafting Room no duels, no animated housing items, max item limit of say 800.

Set x 4 stations is a pain and takes up way to much room and way too many furnishing slots in a guild hall.

I like the 1 station per set with all crafts included (BS, Cloth, JC, WW) idea. At least with this you can have a dedicated crafting room and be able to use the rest of the house for guild activities and decorating.

You take a beautiful home and fill it with a sea of crafting stations - what a waste!

I think like 25-35 sets would have been enough for this game.
You can adjust them further with glyphs and traits, although those need a bit of balancing so more are viable.

So many sets only causes 80% of them to be redundant, what's the added value of adding more and more?

I like that ZOS is always adding new sets that are able to be crafted.

For my guildhall it has been very easy to keep up with the new stations. I keep active people only that enjoy our guild. Friends and guildies, that understand how important it is having all crafting stations available for everyone.

With space, we have not run into an issue. In fact our guild hall has only become more opulent.

If more space was ever needed we already have purchased another of the same home. I did it on my alt account to avoid any future issues.

It is a simple solution and not costly for a guild of our size.

So I am not worried or concerned in the least by this.

That's fantastic for your guild but won't help us individuals much. I can use a second house but then friends and guildies won't have access. Lots of people like to have a one-stop-shop for everything in a pretty setting!

I don't mind more sets. I think ZOS needs to create sets that are interesting and/or useful and not be so strictly locked into a pattern of 3 sets per zone DLC, 3 sets per dungeon, 4 sets per trial, etc. If the sets aren't necessary or fill a role, don't add them simply because you feel you're forced to create a certain number of sets.

Perhaps they could also explore moving drop sets into crafted sets at some point if it would not unbalance anything with that set.
