Expect to see transmute stones in the crown store. You heard it hear.

You should be watching. Rob just gives good news
I don't have the data to watch streams. I just have to hope I can find a "news" article or something before too long.
This is how it works:
Every time you equip an item and it gets bound to your account, it will automatically be added to your collection. There's a new tab in the collections menu for it.
Once an item is collected you can make copies of it at a transmute station. You can choose the quality and a trait for the copy, but you have to know the appropriate crafting skill (blacksmithing for heavy armor for example).
You have to pay the upgrade mats and some transmute crystals.
The crystal cost decreases if you collect more items from that set. The highest price shown was 75 if you only have 1 item and the lowest was 25 if you have the whole set.
If you deconstruct any of those copies you'll get all the mats back.
Whatever you do, DO NOT do this with items you have upgraded to Gold, because you won't get those mats back!! It will copy the item to the list as a green item, so if you sell or deconstruct that Gold item, you will loose all those Materials and then have to use more to upgrade those items again!!
So be very, very careful. It will be good for zone, dungeon and trials items that you may not use for a while, but that's it!! It's not an actual bank or inventory space.

We're pleased to see all the reactions and discussion regarding the Item Set Collection system we unveiled on ESO Live today. I'm just stopping in to correct an error I made while describing the feature during the demo. I stated that, when deconstructing a reconstructed item, players would be refunded the full material cost, including the Transmute Crystals. This is not entirely accurate, as some folks watching the stream noticed when I deconstructed the item.
When deconstructing reconstructed items, you are always refunded 25 Transmute Crystals. As I mentioned on stream, the Transmute Crystal cost for reconstruction goes down with every item you'd added to your collection. When set collections are completed, the cost for reconstruction is 25 Transmute Crystals, which matches the refund you receive when deconstructing those items. This is part of the incentive for completing a set collection.
So a more accurate description would have been: Players who reconstruct items from completed collections receive a full refund when deconstructing those items.
Sorry for any confusion, and we're looking forward to folks jumping into the system on PTS next week!

That raises a question. If reconstruction work this way, what about Transmutation? After all transmutation costs 50 crystals and would be twice as expansive, while also not refunding crystals. For players that gathered most or all items from a set there is little reason to use transmutation.

If you get a gold jewel from a trial, I'd rather transmute that for 50 transmute crystals instead of reconstructing it with 4 gold chromium platings AND 25 crystals personally.
Yes. They said when you login the first time to any of your toons, any set pieces you already have bound to you or you equip a set item that is not bound to you yet will automatically be added to your collections.Tsar_Gekkou wrote: »Will our set collections be updated with pieces we already have prior to the update, or is it going to be like when jewelry crafting came out and you couldn't decon stuff from before that update and had to farm new stuff to decon?
I agree. This actually gives a bit more purpose to those "trash" pieces from sets that we usually sell/decon right of the bat. I just hope it's truly as good as it seems. We will find out soon!LukosCreyden wrote: »Really digging this new system. Also, it creates incentive for me to go out and collect/finish sets I normally wouldn't worry so much about, just to satisfy the completionist in me.

the concern is what will this do to the price of currently desired overland gear sets. Just buy the crappiest version of it, and recon it on your crafter to the desired trait. No more 300k precise inferno sorrow staves. Give me that green defending infer sorrow staff for 200gold. Let me recon it as the precise one. Seems like a blow to merchants.

Thats the extreme where its betetr to transmute it. For more common items however it is likely cheaper to just recreate it.

So you do get ALL materials back? On stream you only got one lining back. I'm confused.

The one lining was when Rob deconned the Hat of Mother's Sorrow, @Milo.
That was a dropped gear piece from the PTS character template ... and not a Mother's Sorrow Hat created from the Collections at the Transmute Station.

Are you going to revert these changes then? Would be nice, cause some people have those wepons, but we can't obtain them anymore to complete our collections.
