I tend to keep all the harvested resources I’ve found in my travels across each of my characters. I’m of the mentality, you never know when you might need that resource. As a result, I very quickly exceed the max collection stack of 250. What I then do is store those stacks of 250 in my bank so that when I’m adventuring, I am still able to make use of the nifty ‘Deposit all collectibles’ feature.
If I maintain my complete (250) stacks in my bank, then the stack in the collection is always the smallest stack and I’m sure there will be enough space until it fills up. At that point I would rinse and repeat, moving the stack into the bank and my collection would be open once again.
This all works great until you start crafting…
When crafting, the crafting operation consumes resources from the bank first. As a result, my bank winds up becoming a mess of incomplete stacks of resources and I’m no longer guaranteed to know that my stacks are optimally organized.
Going back to sort this is quite time consuming as you can imagine repeating the process for each and every resource I’ve used while crafting.
What I propose is to prioritize consuming resources from the collection first and then the bank. While it is a small issue, it would go a long way in helping me organize my resources. I can’t think of any reason to keep it this way, but perhaps someone else might have an opinion on that.
Alternately, you could open up an upgrade that would allow us to expand the maximum collection size…
