Guild Wars 2

The title says it all:

Please add collectible bank slots for karka shells (under fine materials), passion fruit (under cooking ingredients) and passion flowers (under gems).

It is perfectly understandable that the Halloween crafting materials do not receive such collectible slots, because they are only available during Halloween.
However, the Lost Shores crafting materials are permanently available, and the crafting recipes they are used in reflect added general utility to crafting.

And as a bonus suggestion, I would like to suggest creating an entire collectible bank tab for rare crafting materials (e.g. pirate doubloons or glacial/destroyer/corrupted shards/slivers/fragments/lodestones, as well as globs of ectoplasm). Perhaps as a bank upgrade that can be sold for gems?

Well, as good as your idea would be for a new specialized tab in the bank, you can already buy a new tab for gems and if you wanted to, dedicate it solely for rare mats. So that’s kind of a moot point. The only advantage would be the ability to deposit, and that’s probably not enough to warrant a whole new custom tab. However, the new mats from lost shores definitely needs their own slots and I imagine in the upcoming (hopefully) large patch later this month they’ll add some.

Ummm there is a lot of collectible materials out there that are used for crafting but have not spot. I am just curious why is this? Is there a reason, and is it a good one? If there is no good reason can we at least get a spot in the collectible bank for them please?

This has been suggested before and needs to be suggested more often as it is a very reasonable idea.

The ability to deposit is awesome. Now if it only worked for all crafting materials it would be over the top fantastically super awesome. Materials like ‘onyx sliver, karka shells’ and even event crafting materials need places in the tab.

Also I would throw money at them if they would allow me to purchase an expanded stack size. I’d buy as many as they would sell. The ablility to increase the 250 stack limit is something I can’t believe they overlooked.

Why would anyone pay gems for storage expansions if they let us put these things into collectables?

Obviously they should go in there. Obviously they CAN add extra slots there (minipets, pvp finishers). It surely has occurred to them to do it. But they chose not to. The harder it is to manage inventory, the more money they make.

How do you presume they know about it, rather it has occurred to them? I would pay for the extra storage space, mainly because of the fact that I like the game and would gladly support them in keeping the game going. You don’t pay a month sub for the game, in 8 years you wouldn’t have spent over one thousand dollars just to play the game, so why is it so bad to offer an option to purchase additional spots?

Because they made new materials and didn’t put them in with other materials. In the very same update they added new minis and did add them to collections.

We have also been telling them. It’s impossible not to know.

I would never play any game for 8 years or pay 1000 dollars to play any game.

I’m also not saying they shouldn’t ban extra inventory slots. I’m saying all food ingredients but 1 have a slot and it’s logical that it should have a slot in collections. Same for passion flower and karka shells.

remember 250 is the max in the collectables.
So, I frequently max out my wood cloth and ore. Karka shells on the other hand, you need them in mass, just like these other ingredients. Not putting them in the collectables is just mean. :\

On the same note, we need a tokens bank. One slot for each token type, taking up to 1000 tokens.
This is dungeon tokens, fractal relics, whatever other currency that isn’t money.. I’ve got some 20 slots in my bank taken up by these kitten tokens…

Well apparently you have never played wow then, and that is fine. Although to presume they are ignoring you is absurd. Maybe they are working on it, maybe they aren’t, seeing as you don’t work for Arena Net and do not know what they are currently doing at AN headquarters to get all up in arms about something your not sure they are doing or not is ….well Absurd.

I would like to see all crafting mats go into the collectibles but they don’t. I am not yelling at them or taking the high road assuming they are ignoring us. Rather I am asking a simple question, " Is there a reason why some Crafting mats do not deposit into the collectibles?" When they come back and say no we just forgot about them then I may get a lil up in arms but till I know what reasoning they have I am not going to get all upset about it.

Thank you all for the support for this suggestion.

I personally find it an oversight that the karka shell, passion fruit and passion flower did not receive their own collectible slot, while every minipet does get one. Especially since the recipes that use these ingredients are typically learnt automatically upon attaining sufficient crafting rank. For all intents and purposes, karka shells, passion fruits and passion flowers are a permanent addition to crafting variety.

Regarding the collectible tab for rare materials, that is just an afterthought for me. It would be nice to have though, mostly because there is a maximum to the number of bank expansions that can be purchased, and having an additional dedicated tab for these items would free up bankspace.
First and foremost, though, this thread is about the karka shells, passion fruit and passion flowers!

I agree I would like to see these materials get a slot in collectibles but unlike some I am just asking why they have not gotten one, rather than say Arena Net is screwing us over from pure hatred

I viewed it as “Here’s some crafting slots but not everything will fit. Buy gems and more bank slots!”

I would find it moronic to think they did not consider adding spots for shards the like. It’s simply one way for them to make a few more dollars to help keep the game running and content rich, which I’m totally fine with.

What I would personally suggest is an unlockable crafting slot for all the crafting materials that don’t currently have a home. We still have to buy gems, via gold or cash, but it’s a one time fee across your account and now all that crafting clutter gets stored away.

Oh I am also inclined to believe this also. Honestly I have no problem purchasing extra slots in support of the game.

I have a whole bank tab full of extra mat stacks that i had to withdraw so I could still deposit while in the field so adding depositable slots for all crafting mats wouldn’t make me not need more bank tabs if that was a concern for them.

FYI I did make this topic a while back https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Dedicated-Slots-for-ALL-crafting-mats/first#post820027
