... For tomorrow morning! That's when Markarth and Update 28 go live, right? Being able to bind and then deconstruct the vast majority of my stored set gear is going to free up so much character inventory space, bank account space, and storage chest space that it will be like the beginning of this year when I finally subscribed to ESO+, suddenly found myself with gobs of free space, and felt like I could finally go questing, do daily writs, and receive mail from hirelings without dreading the possibility of trying to pick something up and have to spend 45 minutes doing "the inventory shuffle" to try to free up a slot or two.

    Agreed! Just going to wait and see if there are any launch-day issues before I go crazy with the deconning ALL the THINGS...

    I'm excited to free up space. I've been hoarding sets for over a month now, and I'm ready to clear it all out.

    I'm absolutely expecting something to bug out though. I know that we can add things to the stickerbook by deconning, but I'm going to be really careful about checking that every piece is bound and unlocked in the book before I take it down. It'll take ages, but all of that sweet inventory/bank/storage space is going to be worth it.

    ...now I just have to play Pokémon and catch 'em all for the rest of the off-set stuff. Who'd have thought we'd end a run of CoA with "Did anyone get a BSW battleaxe?"

    The guild trader will also update correctly, until the Tuesday swap at least.

    I ended up spending almost 500k upgrading my bank slots because I have so many sets to 'learn' and I too don't want to do the inventory shuffle. I ended up throwing a sub this month so I could also nab the mythics and then go about my business after snagging the DLC through some other means.

    Also if you're PC-NA, I'll totally be willing to help!

    The new set collector thing does sound very useful. No doubts.

    I'm looking forward to it also.

    I'll probably bind and keep the best version I have of each set piece, and deconstruct all of the other versions, so I won't need to reconstruct as much if I ever decide to use a particular set on a particular character-- but even so, getting rid of several dozen copies of things will still be a blessing.

    I honestly don't know why I've kept so many copies anyway, other than I decided to start collecting sets after I got ESO+ and had so much free space available again.

    Presumably an alternative to deconstructing everything might be to sell unbound BOE gear we don't want to keep, since some players will probably be eager to complete each set in their stickerbooks to minimize the cost of reconstructing a given set. But the market will probably be flooded, and most BOE gear is probably easy to acquire in the game, so selling the gear might not be very lucrative. The mats recovered by deconstructing the gear might be worth more than the gear itself!

    This, note that you are not getting the tempers back so gold gear and purple jewelry is wort collecting.
    Exception is useless dungeon and trial sets, they they might be buffed but.

    Newer stored BoE sets I did not need as I can sell them and buy back.

    Now very expensive weapons like Mother sorrow lighting staffs and Briarheart daggers will probably drop in price.
    Probably as you can get both from an quest, daggers you need to transmute but staff is bis.

    But transmute crystals will drop much more from dungeons, 2 key pledge give 5, dlc 1 key give 3, random normal / vet gives 10 for first run. so its easy to farm them, far easier than in PvP.

    Judging from previous patch-day experiences, I dont think you will be able to do anything tommorow. :D

    Is there going to be a "catch" like there was with jewel crafting where we could not deconstruct gear already in our inventory?

    I am relieved that there will be a fun distraction during this volatile election period. I very much appreciate the timing of this update. And, I love the set collection stuff, it's such a cool idea.

    I'm not on PTS, but I believe any gear that is bound or decon'd will be put into the collection. Old or new gear won't matter.

    I personally can't wait to clone monster sets with perfect traits instead of having to deal with cruel RNG. And cloning trial /arena weapons. Advancing Yokeda daggers/Axes for ALL my stam DDs <3

    I hope this is the case, because if they do anything like they did with jewel crafting being bound its gonna be a rough ride.

    I can't wait either.

    I've already deconned most of my repeated gear that I don't use anymore, but then I started collecting the Dungeon Weapon for sets and now my bank and all characters are completely full again.

    It will feel good to deconstruct everything tomorrow.

    Actually, I'm not planning on deconning anything tomorrow. I wouldn't bet on the game being playable.... Maybe Wednesday.

    I literally have 1 of every gear set piece I have ever collected in the nearly 4 years I have been playing.

    I am nervous to finally get rid of it all - but it will be a dream to a hoarder like myself. Lol.

    I can finally empty out my storage boxes and keep only stuff that I want to use and not just store sets that might get buffed in the future.

    The Reach story is actually pretty cool, you get to interact with Reach culture the way you interact with Argonian Culture in Mirkmire.

    They would have to have reprogrammed the system in the past two weeks to exclude extant items, which I very much doubt.

    As it worked on the PTS, any dropped set gear you already have bound is automatically added to your collections, no matter how old. (The only exceptions are the items later removed from drop tables, like melee proc set bows and staves, which have no place in the book.) Alts’ inventories are only added when you log on to them the first time, since the game can’t read those inventories until then.

    You can add unbound dropped set gear by binding it, selling/fencing it to an NPC (it must clear the buy back window, if there is one), destroying it in your inventory, or deconning it. I didn’t test researching, although that consumes the piece and therefore *ought* to work.

    Any idea how it works for items in your bank or storage chests? Is opening the bank or storage chest enough for the system to scan it? Or do we have to take these items to character inventory for them to count?

    From what I recall of the PTS, I didn’t have to even look in the bank or chests/coffers for bound items there to be added as soon as I logged in on my first toon. We definitely shouldn’t have to remove any bound items to get them to register.

    If you have unbound items, though, you will have to add them somehow. It should be fairly painless with the options that are available.
