If you have too many transmute geodes, spend 50 to transmute a low quality weapon to Nirnhoned and smash it hoping to get Potent Nirncrux. These are, of course, tradable so you can make plenty of gold from this.

As for the people who don't have enough... Do more daily RNDs, either by being a tank (for vanilla, all you need is a taunt, a chain and a mismatched set of heavy armour, DLC may require more precision) or teaming up with one so you get faster queues

I run dungeons constantly and basically swim in geodes because I don't constantly remake my builds, it sucks I cant trade my geodes to my group members, but I can see 100% why they wont allow us too - The vet queues are long enough as it is, giving away free geodes will just make them longer.

I am one of those people that used to spend the transmute crystals like crazy, so i would definitely love to be able to buy me some geodes.
On the other hand, i understand that this would mess up the game economy even further, not to mention the already declining queues for dungeons, where you can spend more than 45 minutes waiting in line if you are a normal PVE player that is specced for overland DPS and survivability, so you would queue as what you are: a DPS.

Dungeons, BGS, Dailies that give transmute geodes, players should be able to sell these.

The campaign transmute geodes should not be tradeable in my opinion. PvP players would have great advantage at farming geodes than pve players, if campaign geodes were to trade-able.

Tier 3 rewards for a 7 day or 30 day campaign rewards a geode that gives 50 transmute crystals per character. I can get 2 toons in tier 3 in one day, and 10 toons to tier 3 by the time a 7 day campaign ends. 10 toons= 500 transmute crystals by the time 7 day campaign ends. These days, I just destroy the geodes unless im theory-crafting or testing new sets.

Before the transmute crystal carry capacity was increased, I have probably destroyed geodes that are worth 10k transmute crystals lol.

This feature would be nice since i have a friend who has five digits number transmute crystals.

Yes i would also like to sell them, my inventory is full of 50 crystal geodes. Those who suggest trying to get nirncrux from them, nah, they sell for 20k of something right? I wouldnt sell 50 transmute crystals for 20k. I'd rather just wait until they might become sellable as they are.

If transmute crystals were sellable you wouldn't get 20k for fifty of them for more than a day or two. They would become almost worthless within a week. I know forum threads are not good indicators of the general population in game but look at this thread. Most the responses have been from players saying yes they would like to sell their excess crystals. There are a lot of players that have more crystals than they will ever use that would be looking to unload them and after the first wave demand would only be there when a new meta comes round.

Transmutation crystals are a special reward for special activities, same is for arena or trial gear. Not everything should be available in stores because obtaining this rewards is part of the fun (okay, it's no fun anymore if you have to do 50 Maelstrom runs for the bow :-) )

But there's one more thing you can do with the crystals: check your sticker book to find out which set you can reconstruct for just 25 crystals - you need to have all parts of this set in your book. Then you can reconstruct let's say 40 mother's sorrow robes - this will cost you 1000 crystals. This robes you can put in your bank or in your chests and if you need crystals you just need to deconstruct the robes - each will give you 25 crystals. If you reconstruct an item which costs you more then 25 crystals you will not get this amount back when deconstructing, it's always just 25 crystals.

The advantage of this system: you don't need to have a lot of crystal containers in your inventory. And as soon as you would like to try another set from your sticker book you will have enough transmute crystals.

An alternative: allow us to construct an item we have not collected for some huge number of crystals. 500 seems an appropriate number.

Perhaps with the condition that we have already collected some of the set.

I noticed a few people didn't know about converting transmutes and mimic stones into gold so I made a video. I hope it helps.

Id settle for a larger cap. I've already got one storage bot full of pvp transmutes and an alt I was levelling who's rapidly filling up with unusued 10 crystal ones. But I don't think I'd actually sell them. This game seems to richochet from one wild extreme to the other and it sometimes feels like every patch I have to reequip all my toons.

I agree... they should be. It's impossible for me to get these because I DO NOT ENJOY the activities that are necessary to acquire them. Yet, I am tired of having to craft new gear because I want a different trait, or having to buy expensive gear with the trait I want instead of being able to buy a lower priced different traited item and transmute it myself.

This doesn't 'encourage' me to play the content I dislike, it encourages me to have more of a negative opinion of ZOS and it's attempts to try and force people to play content they dislike in order to have the same options that other people do. I'm not complaining about gear drops at all, because I'm fine with having to run dungeons for that... which is why I don't have those BIS gear... but when it comes to being able to transmute traits, everyone should have that option without being forced to participate in content that we strongly dislike or have no interest in.

I don't HATE doing random dungeons, but it's not something I want to have to do everyday. In anticipation for update 31, I did randoms on 5 characters a day for 10 days straight. I ran The Dread Cellar 4 times, got all the Rush of Agony gear I needed for 3 of my 2H characters, and spent all the crystals changing the traits to Divines (and still have 1 whole set that's not the correct trait). I'm sick of doing them now though, so that character is going to be in crappy traits for a while. Wish I could buy more.
