It’s just insane. I can craft an item — but I need clam chowder.

But to have clam chowder, I have to have cream soup base.

But to make cream soup base, I need BOTH poutry stock AND roux.

I’m sure I’ve offloaded those into a storage character, but the point is, there’s literally NO sensible justification for why I have to go HUNT through them when they OUGHT to be stored in the CRAFTING elements!!

Even if it was a lower-count holder (i.e., say, 25 instead of 250), ALL the useless intermediate crafting items (like dowels used for weapons) ought to have spaces in the crafting storage, so that you don’t take up precious slots in the bank or have to offload to some currently unused char’s inventory. Hell, even make it like 2 dozen for each crafter (3 for the chef), with only intermediate stuff able to go into it.

No, I’m not freaking buying more BANK slots just to hold this crap, it’s a stupid, pointless nuisance for no justifiable reason.

Being a max lvl’ed chef will eat up your bank slots. I have one full dedicated to those I use the most. With the future increase in lvl of crafting professions to 500; I am loathe to get rid of them.
I 100% agree with you that ANY crafted item that is used as a base for another item, should have it’s own collectible slot. I hope that Anet is working on this for the future. All crafting professions maxed can be a trial in sorting the bank and character bags to hold onto crafting materials for the future lvl increase.

EDIT: And while they’re at it maybe they’ll allow for us to have collectible slots for all items used as currency. I heard a rumor that they were going to add a Gemstore item to increase stack size to 500, but nothing since. That may help some but not for chef base items.

An easier way to fix this problem would to just let the player click ‘clam chowder’ and the system auto makes all of the intermmediate ingredients as long as you have the mats to do so.

This way you would never need to store anything other than base mats. The cumbersome, unwieldy, often unexplaind step of having the player manually create and store the intermmediate ingredients is extremely unforgivng.

There are no bank slots for armor or weapon parts either…..
