Guild Wars 2

I would like to see a tab in the crafting material storage to place slivers, cores, essences, etc. All of the materials that you need to craft sigils and runes. Should also include a space for ectos. I think this would go a long way to alleviate some storage issues in the regular account bank tab.

id go as far as saying as adding crafting components as well

Stop making so many components. Other than that, yes, add the crafting materials that don’t have a spot to the collections please. They’re rare enough that I’ll probably never accumulate 250 of them (unlike the others that I would like more than 1 stack of in collections) but I’d still like to reserve my actual storage for things that matter to me and not things that obviously have a dedicated place.

Definitely don’t need dedicated storage for components. If you make too many it’s your own fault. However, all looted crafting materials should have dedicated storage blocks. And a stack increase from 250 to 500 would be nice too!

For everything except cooking, I’d agree with you. For cooking…there’s just so many items that are cooking components, and you need to combine them so much, that dedicated storage for things like the spice packs, stocks, dough, etc, is kind of needed. Unlike other crafts, earlier components do not automatically become unneeded as you increase in cooking, resulting in an exponential explosion in the number of components you need to have on hand at any one time for discovery purposes. e.g. components that need level 50 to make are still used in recipes that need you to be level 400 to discover…so unless you’re following an out-of-game guide you don’t know how long you’ll need to hang onto that component for.

It’s bad enough that my Cook became unplayable while they were levelling up cooking. Those components and the discovered recipes took up all their bag space (with extra slots also filled – though admittedly I didn’t make them more than 8-slot bags for their slots), and almost half my bank space (with bank expanded to max slots). I’ve sold/combined/thrown away a lot of the excess now, but while they were still discovering recipes they still needed to keep those items…and truly didn’t have enough storage available to do so.

On the plus side…our guild bank has free food for guild members from people levelling up cooking and just dumping “completed” recipes in there (not components).

I’m not sure about other professions, but as a cook I would gladly spend gems on a “cupboard” space that could hold all our cooking ingredients.

Agreed 100% on cooking crafted ingredients. There’s a huge number of them….but it feels like you’re almost forced to buy bank space for them.

The only solution I came up with was mailing them to a friend and them returning them right back to me. I’ve got like 5 mails of crafted cooking mats in my inbox :/
That’s clearly a problem that should be addressed.
