    My solution: Stop hoarding. Hoarding is bad, m'kay?

    Yeah inventory is becoming a major issue now. For PvE'rs we have all so many sets that are used, sometimes situationally. On my Magplar DD I have a bunch of sets in my inventory I use.

    For certain trash pulls I'll run either: Dark Convergence (RIP Plaguebreak), Azureblight, Aegis Caller, Deadly Strikes, Sul-Xan, Bahsei, Order's Wrath, Burning Spellweave, Alkosh etc.

    For certain bosses I'll run either: Whorl of the Depths, Relequen, Deadly Strikes, Sul-Xan, Aegis Caller, Pillar of Nirn, Order's Wrath, Alkosh etc.

    Then there's backbar items such as vMA Bow, vMA Greatsword, vMA destro staff etc.

    I have these in my inventory at all times so I can switch gear setups via addons with keybinds. All these sets are taking up so much space, and it's only going to get worse as new sets are added.

    This is purely character inventory space, not bank space. We are going to need more bank space soon as well.

    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Even with ESO+, Inventory space is starting to suck. I dont want to decon Gold items I have just to get transmute back. Please add some type of inventory space. You could add more coffers to purchase through writs, add a new vault through housing ( each house has 300 item vault for purchase ~1200 Crowns or 500K Gold or any amount at this point) or some type of space at this point weather it be adding 2 more tiers for bank space and character space, I mean we are closing in on 10 years, what worked 10 years ago dont work today!!!!! Please consider this as im to the point of just leaving the game rather than try to fit the new incoming gear of all weights into the limited bank/character space we already have. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Icy @Anyone who cares about this.

    I warned zos about this like in 2020 maybe earlier. They came up with the sticker book. It wasn't enough to solve every problem, but it allowed us to toss out sets and not have to worry about refarming it if they decided to change it. Although to get transmute stones you have to go to a dungeon, so it was a win-win. I still play without ESO+ and don't have my inventory maxed out. However, I only make gold when I need it and throw out everything else. So I don't have any wealth in ESO. I am transient.

    The problem is ZoS tosses too much stuff at us. That is to get the people to subscribe to ESO+. However, with every new chapter more stuff appears. This is how I knew even ESO+ members would start to have problems.

    Some people have so much gold they can run around and buy out all the shops then sell at their price desired to make more gold. Luckily auction house doesn't exist because that would have ruined the economy 5 yrs ago. What ZoS did slowed it but it's still creeping up. Can't stop MM and TTC.

    I play all my MMOs like they can shut down tomorrow. I don't think about amassing for a future that may never come. I live my life this way. I found hoarding to take up too much resources managing than simply running just in time. There should only be enough held to change a build 1 every 6 months. I don't follow meta because it's cheaper. I try to sell everything that I don't need. When my mail gets full I log off for 30 days to wipe it out, then come back in. The value of those items meant nothing if they didn't sell.

    This is the way to do it.

    I used to be a hoarder in ESO. Where did that get me? All my hoarded items are on a platform I no longer play on (PlayStation) due to game performance issues that drove me away from ESO four years ago. Also had my PS5 stolen, but that’s a separate issue. :)

    I now play on PC again, and I deconstruct or sell anything I don’t actively use. The set collection feature (a new addition since I last played) means I don’t have to hold on to stuff “just in case.” Excellent addition to the game, IMO.

    I have three khajiits: my main, my crafter, and my inventory mule. I do all content on my main (multiple PVE/PVP roles made possible by the Armory — another great addition since I last played the game). My crafter only crafts, and stores crafting materials. My backup mule khajiit, which I modeled on my IRL fat tabby cat, simply holds all excess provisioning items because it amuses me (and because provisioning takes up a lot of slots that aren’t regularly used for writs). I plan to sub every so often to put crafting items in the crafting bag and to avail of DLC-specific events.

    I so far have not run into any inventory issues. My main has relevant skills and CP put into item deconstruction, so when bags are about 90% full, I just port to guild hall and deconstruct via the assistant, then dump materials into my bank. When the bank starts getting full, I just hop on my crafter and take stuff out. I have not yet maxed out any of my three characters’ inventory slots, nor have I maxed out my bank inventory. I also only have two housing storage chests at the moment. Plenty of headroom left without needing ESO+.

    Breaking the hoarding habit is crucial in this game, especially if you don’t have ESO+ or only avail of it sporadically like I do.

    180/215 is gear on my main, all being used.

    I'm a Necro main.

    For trials I need to adapt to be tank or "buff-bot dd", according to how the raid lead wants me.

    Being part of three groups I need different setups for different tactics (trash/boss1/boss2/boss3 and so on)

    I want to have a solo setup, playing dungeons with friends, endless archive, IC, PvP, farming nodes and so on.

    Different potions, foods accompany the setups.

    I barely have enough room to do a dungeon/trial from start to finish without having to sell/deconstruct.

    I would have quit this game a long time ago if it wasn't for the person who made the "personal assistant addon" since my inventory management would have been 50% of the game...

    Ok @MedicInTheWild say you get your extra space, you know what'd happen? you'd fill it up in under a week, the problem isn't the amount of slots avaiable, it's how well you goven them, I mean think about it, we are looking at what, 2 loadouts + consumeables + buff foods, which is a total of 38 out of 215, so the question is, where the heck are the rest of your slots going? you hording stuff over trivial small reasons or otherwise hanging onto things for no real purpose or reason other than some vain hope that we both know won't come to pass.

    it's time to wake up, clear out the clutter and get yourself together, I mean come on, if I can get by with just 60 slots then so can you, no?

    This baffles me.

    So what if the spaces will be 'filled within a week'.

    People play this game differently, I like collecting things, and I am amassing quite a collection of furniture that I can't use yet.

    If someone wants to hoard things, let them. Unless/until it affects server performance, someone filling up their slots quickly doesn't affect anyone else.

    As an ESO+ member, these are the top two things taking up the most space in my inventory:

    1. Siege equipment
    2. Different sets

    Let us stack siege equipment (non-damaged), and let us store our build sets in the armory. Please and thank you.

    if the spaces were filled up within a week then they would be back here asking for more, and if they got more then they would get filled and...well you can see where this is going, yes?

    it's not an inventory size issue, it's an inventory management issue that cuases the problems

    I spend more time lately moving items around and trying to organize so that I have inventory space on my characters to play than I do anything else.

    There’s too many materials in the game at this stage for players that don’t have access to ESO+ and the craft bag. Every time you break down all the gear in your inventory you end up taking more slots than before you deconstructed anything.

    Give us more bank space. Give us more housing storage options. Give us more character inventory. Remove the cap on transmute stones so those transmute containers aren’t in our inventory. Let us finally buy the craft bag for Crowns.

    But do something to improve inventory for everyone because you can’t keep adding more gear sets and more materials and more consumables and more everything each year while keeping the same storage space as early in the game.

    And?

    If the servers can handle it and ZOS wants to give it (which is iffy), then I see no issues with people wanting/needing more inventory space. If it is about the topics, then I personally just ignore topics that are about things I don't want to see/care about.

    please could we have less space - there's ESO+ space, bank space, guild bank space, housing storage chest space, not to mention up to 19 alts that can each provide 220 spaces.

    Since the ability to reconstruct set items was introduced I barely use enough space to fill a mouses thimble, and I'm constantly trying to think of ways how to not waste all this space, and its doing my head in.

    I think you are simply not playing...

    The armoury system is a perfect place to add the extra storage...

    Imagine this.

    You create an armoury build , that build when you save it asks if you want to store the sets in the armoury vault. Selecting yes means that you can go to your house and place the items in the vault.

    This also now means that these sets become quickly transferable using the armoury station or the assistant . Number of build slots available to purchase should be increased as they are now account wide much like the craft bag.

    Removing the pieces doesn't return them to the armoury unless done so via the assistant or station

    Imagine not realizing that not everyone has the mental ability to create 20 different characters and remember where each and every item was put. Or that maybe someone wants to have 20 different characters actually play the game and not just be mules for the first character... Or being able to pay for ESO+ to get the extra space on each character.

    imagine creating alts for storage but not having the ability to make a simple list...

    or 'can't' afford the price of ESO+ but is happy to spend 50 times that amount on beer and cigarettes every week...
