An issue about transmute crystals and transmutation geodes.

I want to use my normal and uncracked transmutation geodes. but since i have maximum amount of transmute crystals, i get the "you cannot hold any more transmute crystals" error.
Fine, i said, then let's deposit them in the bank so that i might use them in the future when i need them.
"You may not deposit that item in your bank". That's error number two.
ZOS, can you please solve this issue?

✭✭you can either destroy them or you can craft items with available transmutes, store them, then break them down later.
completed set items cost only 25 transmutes, and can be refunded for that full amount.10 -

Thanks for the tip, but i still would like to be able to store my geodes in my bank without having to use a workaround of any kind.6 -
BenTSG✭✭✭✭I've been told that making a random item and transmuting it's trait will allow you to get the new trait back when you decon it instead of crystals from deconning a reconstructed item, so it could be an option to make a little money off it or stock up on traits you don't have much ofEdited by BenTSG on October 15, 2022 1:29PM0 -
perfiction✭✭✭✭✭One way of 'banking' the transmuted is to reconstruct a 25-cost piece and keep it in the bank/house chest. When you need the crystals you just deconstruct the item and get your 25 transmutes back.1 -

This is preferable done with weapons as Potent Nirncrux sells for 25 K PC-EU.I've been told that making a random item and transmuting it's trait will allow you to get the new trait back when you decon it instead of crystals from deconning a reconstructed item, so it could be an option to make a little money off it or stock up on traits you don't have much of

Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.3 -

Yes, its many small sets its easy to get all items for, including arena bows and resto staffs who is single in set.perfiction wrote: »One way of 'banking' the transmuted is to reconstruct a 25-cost piece and keep it in the bank/house chest.

This saves space as the geodes outside the 50 crystal ones from monthly campaign rewards.
They, reward of the worthy and from random dungeons are mailed so you can select who character to pick it up.

It is by design that you can't bank geodes. ZoS didn't want to completely replace running dungeons for gear. The transmute system is already a great shortcut compared to before. I'm kind of surprised they still let us craft gear to store crystals as that is a workaround from what they intended.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."1 -

Doesn’t it kind of do that once you have completed a set in your stickerbook though? I don’t see why anyone would keep farming a dungeon for gear if they can pay 25 transmute stones with a full refund if they change their mind.
At that point I think they should just let us bank them and/or give us new reasons of doing dungeons and/or add new uses for transmute stones to make us spend them…0 -

✭✭I've had well over a thousand transmute crystals worth of geodes in various characters inventory for years. There is no genuine reason to limit how many we can store.
Dungeon and Trial gear is bind on pickup, so there's no market for them and you have to run them to get the gear to 'learn' in the first place. It's impossible to get every piece of every set in a few runs, so people still have to run them several times to get what they want.Australian on PS4 NA server.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion.1 -

Do you happen to know how many crystals we get back exactly?
I've never heard of this before, and I'm always short on transmutation crystals... with different builds setups changing every time I log in (not literally, but it's felt like it over the last 6 months).
This could make updating and adjusting builds a lot less painful if I can recover some crystals from the outdated gear.3 -
EnerG✭✭✭✭✭I don't have your problem but I have your solution, reconstruct a weapon in nirnhoned from any set as long as it's over 25 crystals since you get 25 back regardless of how many you spent to reconstruct.
Deconstruct that item, you'll have spent some crystals for the chance of a potent nirncrux, rinse and repeat untill you've used all your geodes.. seems like you have alot soo see if you can't find a set for like 30 crystals and go ham.

Tranquilizer✭✭✭✭Also, please note that you shouldn't use mythic / legendary items to store your transmutes because you cannot deconstruct these items.2

Reconstruct an nirnhomed master bow, then break it down, you spend 25 crystals, but get 25 back again and a chance for potent nirncrux? repeat
Transmute however works but cost 50 crystals for a good chance for potent nirncrux

Because running dungeons over and over isn’t the best way to get the right gear anymore anyway and the transmute stone cap is reached fast and it encumber your inventory which is annoying? It’s just a qol improvement at this point. Managing an inventory across multiple characters isn’t really fun and lessening this management is nice.0 -

Correct. Only transmutation gives a chance at the trait mat, not reconstruction.
To maximize profits, find or buy a trash purple weapon to transmute. Trait mats have a higher chance at being extracted from better quality items, but there is no sense in spending the mats to upgrade a weapon when trash purple ones drop free and are cheap on stores.0 -

✭✭Craft or training gear for new characters or something. It is a problem, but be happy the limit isn't 200 anymore as well. Though that was harder to max out when you were lucky to get 4 crystals doing 3 HM Pledges.0 -
