QoL improvement—Can we get more bank slots?

AlextheMuspel · March 2021

As a trader who constantly needs to go to different locations to farm bis sets, the 480 bank slots with ESO+ fill up rather quickly. Besides, we only get 150 slots for 5 guilds on guild traders, so there’re plenty items that I have to store in bank so that I can put them up for sale once some slots cleared on guild trader. It would be such a nice QoL improvement if we can get 300 more bank slots with ESO+ and 150 without ESO+. I don’t mind buying them from bag merchants for let’s say, 500k+ in total.

I feel like the bank should scale up with the number of toons you have, but with the stickerbook, I've discovered that ZOS is less of the problem, and that my propensity to hoard is more of the issue. I'll fill the space to the brim no matter how many slots I get. Although honestly, a lot of it is crafting surveys that I keep putting off until I want to take a few hours to clear them out. It just lets me procrastinate longer, I guess.

I have all my surveys stored on one toon with 200 slots, and they occupy around 50-90 slots so I’d say it’s manageable. Stickerbook is such a nice QoL improvement, I basically decon everything I found in dungeons and trials now. But I also have tons of overland gears in my bank that I’d like to sell, like spriaggans, MS, Spinner, Plague doctor, Seventh, EV, Alfiq, Darloc, etc. And I usually don’t have sufficient guild trader slots to put them all on sale.

I have the same issue of hoarding items, I have a second account to help with my hoarding issues.
The other nice thing would be more bank space for guilds, as 500 slots when you have a full guild just isn't enough.

I delete the enchanting surveys. Jusy not worth the time to me. The other 5 crafts I distribute over 5 chars. One per craft.

Allows me to procrastrinate longer as its less pressure on bank space.

Oh... and a kingdom for a new green tree cp skill:

"Survey resources respawn immediately on harvesting current set if another surveyy for location is carried"

480 bank space is plenty (though it would be nice if they rounded up to 250/500).

Stop hoarding everything. Just do the surveys and space will be less of a problem.

Since the stickerbook, I dont have space issues any more.
I havent had to play inventory games for a long long time.

bmnoble · March 2021

Just use alts for storage of stuff you don't need right now to free up bank space.

Not against more bank space but probably won't happen till they get the new servers.

Ceejengine · March 2021

400 base max, then an extra 200 per max level character? Or 4 per level i guess. Max 1,000. So 1 main + 2 alts (which is easy)= 1,000 slot bank.

But then I think 90% of this game should migrate to account bonuses. Call player accounts Clans/family/bound/guild/gang/team/pals that allow all their characters to benefit from boring grinds so they can do the fun stuff instead. Especially since there's so much fun stuff in the game you don't end up getting tired of it.

Grinds are only great in bad games that have barely any content. ESO is jam packed with awesome stuff to do out the gate, but once you get onto character #2, you have this massive pile of boring, stupid necessary stuff between you and having fun at the same level as your main.

* Account stable. All mount bonuses are unlocked for all characters.

* Account Library. All books unlocked for all characters.

* Account Crafting. All traits / motifs across all characters.

* Account wide achievement unlocks. Dyes, skins, etc are already account wide. Why can't I give my alts titles I've earned?

* Account guild rep. Undaunted, Fighter, mage, psijic, thieves, dark brotherhood, etc. Leveled account wide.

* Account Antiquarian. You can't get purples on alts, making this grind leagues worse the second time.

* Several of these are already in game except there's 2 login screen between them. Cut out the middle man.

* The others just get rid of a stupid, boring grind. Psijic quest was super fun when I did it on my main. Now I hate because it's just repetitive and uninteresting.

Can’t you increase bank and inventory space with housing? Or is that already factored in? I don’t know as I don’t do housing, but I am curious - if so, I really need to get a house and chests, my bank is always full (I’m always keeping items I can research for alts...).

The stickerbook is interesting, but it did nothing for me. I stored very few things and I don't do enough daily dungeons to get the currency to make lots of things from it anyway.

I never stored a lot of spare gear.

That should be part of the game, not something to purchase with CPs. It is idiotic it is not now and is probably the worst part of surveys!

As they increase the number of sets, especially since a lot are now made situationally more viable, there is a necessity for more slots.

The sticker book just fixed the issue as long as you didn't gold all your gear. With all the gear I have gold and the price of mats, I'm not about to scrap all this gold I invested.

I actually have my bank always filled as well. As I store surveys, master writs, and motifs in there. I have 18 characters which I actively use, so I can't use them as storage like some of you.

The bank with 480 slots, and the character's inventories are WAY too small.

ZOS could easily make more money off of this as well, by having mounts give +10 bank slots per owned mount, and by having non-combat pets give +5 inventory slots per pet(accountwide). This would give players more of a reason to buy/collect those. Including buying crates. There are quite a few pets and mounts we get through the game and other type of promotions(events, giveaways, streams, etc), so it would not be pay-to-win in any way.
ZOS had two pets a while back, which both gave +5 to inventory. So they have the data to see if it had any impact on the server/database, and if what I suggest is even possible. And there would have to be a way for twitch drops to be available to everyone, even those in other timezones(which honestly already should have happened).

However it is done, in my opinion we need atleast 1000 bankslots, and atleast 500 inventory slots available.

PigofSteel · March 2021

Problem is nobody wants to grind again bis old set again and than people hoard... So they dont have to refarm.

Yep, 1000 with ESO+ and 500 without will be a huge improvement.

WiseSky · March 2021

Unlimited bank space for eso plus is the answer.

The only thing I agree with is the Antiquarian point. There needs to be a way for alternative characters to level as easily as the first did. The rest no. You want a 2nd character leveled play the 2nd character.

FlopsyPrince · March 2021

Putting surveys, writs and motifs in their own "bag" like with materials would be a BIG help.

ThorianB · March 2021

They do it partially so that inventory management annoys you into buying ESO plus. Marketing in ESO is very old school. Create a problem and then sell the solution to the very problem you created.

Hotdog_23 · March 2021

Always say yes to more space. Where I would like to see it added is thru storage chest in our homes outside of the 250/500 vs.240/480 bank size.

Another space saving feature I would like to see implemented is all surveys be placed in the crafting bag or a collections tabs and not counted towards our regular inventory. Also make them work for all our characters as we play the game naturally and not have to have them on each character’s individual inventory for them to show up.

Motifs page/books also would be great if added to a collection tab. Sure allow us the opportunity to remove from collection tab and place directly in our inventory so they could be sold if that is what we desired. By having them automatically add to a collections tab we could learn them on what ever characters we wanted to easier without having to put in the bank and pull out to learn on another character just to learn them.

Furniture bag, siege bag, “cough” “cough”

Since I am on console and don’t have the help of add-ons, I craft once a week for the daily writs to save time and just hold the items in my inventory. Sure, would be nice if I could place those items in a separate area in my bag and not mixed in with the other items, I pick up to prevent my dumb self from selling them by mistake.

How about a potions bag or a consumable’s bag? Or even increase the limit to 1000/2000 each.

Master writs bag would be awesome too.

Just throwing ideas on the wall to see if anything will stick. The sticker book has helped greatly.

Stay safe, strong and enjoy the journey

Then sell cheaper so they move faster.
Prices will drop as people fill up their stickerbooks anyway.
Lots of the listed prices are way to high. Yes some people with more gold than sense bought stuff like briarheard resto staff for 40K back then the stickerbook came out but it will not sell.

And yes the stickerbook helped a ton with invetory

Spot on. I posted threads like the OP in 2015/2016 and I think space has trebled since then and we gained a crafting bag and home storage chests and yet it's all full.

I wouldnt save so much buuuuuuit with the meta always shifting and so often, the more I have the less grinding I may have later

How many items has been added to the game since 2015? Hundreds, if not thousands. Accordingly, it’s time to expand the inventory again because of how much the game has evolved since then.

Fennwitty · March 2021

I'd prefer additional slots that could be bought with in-game gold (or Crowns) just like today.

Would be a good one-time money sink for the economy's inflation. The prices can be crazy high even, we'd buy them.

Kiralyn2000 · March 2021

No matter how many slots you give, hoarders will hoard and they say "But I need more slots!"

(case in point - see all the people in this thread who got double bank with ESO+, storage chests, and cleared out space with the set book... and are still saying "it's all full, I need more!")

When farming sets I get tons of intricate, blue, green stuff that I wanna decon on my alts to level up crafting. It usually only takes an hour before I fill up the 200 or so empty slots in my bank, so I have to stop whatever I'm doing to log off and log in my alt to do the decon. It would be an improvement if I could store more stuff in my bank so I don't have to go back and forth. I'm by no means a hoarder, and I only want to do my stuff uninterrupted.

One QoL I'd like to see is stopping people camping on areas and farming XP. I'm once again sick of going to delves and quest areas expecting to have a nice fight doing so, only to find there no NPCs there to fight because some selfish... person/people... is/are farming the area for XP and killing everything in sight. FO already, go to your precious dungeons or PvP!

How is it possible to find a good fight in delves? My dps can obliterate the delve boss in 3 seconds. If you want a good fight, go to vVatershran or solo vet dungeons.

Not everyone is as awesome as you. So they try to find content appropriate to their skill level.

But what are you doing with it all? Considering in my posts I'm saying that was pre bag. Now all mats are gone and no need to keep sets just in case as can decon and remake

Add another hundred slots and they will be filled is all I'm saying

Ard01 · March 2021

18 toons x 200 = 3600
Bank ESO+ = 480
Chests 4 × 60 = 240
Coffers 4 × 30 = 120
GB = 500
Craft bag unlimited for mats.
Total space = 4940 per account. We do not need more space
