Are there enough trade bar sources?

Nemesis7884 · March 25

In the past tickets were solely used for the impressario and the event / seasonal fragments, outfits... now since trade bars have a lot more use including all the skill styles... shouldnt there also be a lot more sources to acquire trade bars? Because if they only come from events; how can we acquire things outside of the seasonal / event items if most gets eaten up there...
What other sources for trade bars will there be in the future outside of events?

They’ll also be available as rewards in the Tomes when they start up next week.

Tamriel Tomes will have 9000 free Trade Bars and 1500 in the paid version.

Jester's Festival and Jubilee have 300 per day. unsure if every event has 300, it might be 200 for some.

The upcoming PvP Veterancy progression system should have Bars too.
And then there is a chance of a small amount of them from Monsters in at least Night Market, unsure if that is from anywhere.

I imagine as they work out any kinks in the system that they'll start adding other ways to get them in the future beyond just Tomes and Events. Maybe things like Random Daily Dungeons and Rewards of the Worthy will eventually have them added too. Perhaps eventually higher Overland difficulties will have them as occassional drops. It would make sense for there to be a lot of ways to get them considering certain things like Mimic Stones and Outfit Tokens, as well as other Consumables, have been added to it. And ESPECIALLY since Outfit Tokens are no long available in the CS, people would need another way to be able to get them quickly, so it stands to reason (imo at least) that as time goes on more ways of getting them will be added.

If ever they want more trade bars released into the game, all they'd likely need to do is attach some to a Golden Pursuit.

Attaching them to permanent game activities would probably never happen because should they ever decide to dial it back, holy hell would rain down on them from the playerbase.

I think we should wait until we see all of the planned sourcing options in place before we start complaining about whether more should be added.

Necrotech_Master · March 26

my guess is sources will likely be:

events
tamriel tomes
gold pursuits

events will have the standard 200-300 per day (2-3 tickets per day equivalent)

tomes will likely have more spread out over a longer period of time, and gold pursuits could be whatever zos felt like doing (such as similar with the current pursuit and the seals of endeavor)

While 9000 (or 10500) seems like a lot, I've noticed that just one music box will set us back 2000 trade bars.

There are a LOT of collectibles to buy through the Bazaar too. I do think we will need more regular events or golden pursuits to be able to buy what we want.

Luckily these current items should stay forever (for an undetermined time).

it is also possible that after a few Seasons ZOS might increase the amount of Trade Bars from certain sources if players give feedback about it, or decrease the Bazaar prices.

i did notice the prices on some of the items were high, like the breton hero statue was 3500 bars

as someone who has been playing for a very long time, i already have like roughly 75-80% of the items available in the bazaar collected already

to put it another way, 1000 bar items are basically equivalent to 10 ticket cost items, big numbers just make it seem more expensive to be honest
