Alright folks, here we go. I have said that we would look into the material storage system to determine if we could reduce the current restrictions on what is allowed to be deposited there. We have completed that investigation and are ready to talk about what all of you wish could be deposited into storage that currently cannot be. So, please, post your suggestions in our official forums—offered in English, French, German, and Spanish—or post in the inevitable Reddit thread that links back to this post. The Comms team and I will be monitoring those places for your suggestions and gathering your feedback. In about a week or so we will pool those suggestions in order to weigh their validity, and if there are any popular suggestions that are not desirable or possible, I will follow up to explain why. If I find that the number of valid suggestions exceeds the quantity we reasonably can add, we might have to talk about priorities. But for now, let’s pretend that the sky is the limit for the purposes of this discussion.

Here are some guidelines, to head off any paths that will not be fruitful for you:
• No Crafted Components. There are simply too many of them and I categorically refuse to add them all. I will not budge on this. There might be some one-offs I am willing to consider, but if your suggestion is that every single Boot Sole, Soup Stock, Jewelry Setting, and Weapon Haft should go in, you have become Sisyphus and that boulder is never making it to the top of the hill. Give up now.
• No Keys. I totally understand how much folks want this (my shared inventory slots are largely taken up by keys, so I get it!) but putting keys into material storage is not a viable way for you to get a key ring. Sorry.
• No pure Salvageables. I’m looking at you, Lumps of Raw Ambrite. If an item’s only use case is to salvage it into another item that can be put into material storage, then just salvage those items if you want them out of your inventory.

And now, commence with the suggestions!

There is no way we are getting out of this pet project without adding Blade Shards to Material Storage. I’m comfortable saying now that Blade Shards will definitely make the list of things to add to Material Storage.

I for one would love to see the storage caps raised, as I’m sure anyone who has whole bags – or even whole alts – reserved for storing bloodstone dust and empyreal fragments can attest to. Why can we only store 250 items? Why not 500? or 999?

Aside from that, writs and tomes of experience, and boosters.

Blade Shards.
Mystic forge crafting materials (stones, crystals)
Gifts for legendaries and the materials used to craft them:

  • gift of exploration
  • gift of Battle
  • Algamated Gemstones
  • ETC
    guild weapon specific ores
    Reclaimed Metal Plate
    Doubloons
    Crests
    Agony Infusions

Edit: And could we please get another tab for stuff that is being suggested but obviously doesn’t fall under crafting materials. A tonic tab/consumables tab would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, just a quick thought and a little bit off topic, what about all the level 80 food and potion buffs. Might be easy to just add them to the material deposit so it’s easy to make alot of them just to deposit for other characters to use.

Please remember that this is “Material Storage”. Not “Stuff I Don’t Want To Spend Bank Slots On Storage”. Items that are not used in crafting or mystic forge recipes are VERY unlikely to be chosen. Sigils, Runes, Tomes of Knowledge, Boosters, etc are all not going to be chosen to add.

EDIT: That said, I am still very seriously considering things like Chak Eggs, Blood Rubies, and Petrified Wood.

Milling basins have my vote too!
Amalgamated gemstones are a must in my opinion.

-Amalgamated gemstones
-Milling Basins
-Maybe Blood Rubies/Petrified Wood? They are taking up too much space, and I would rather save them up for future needs rather then salvage or sell them.
-Vision Crystals
-Philosophers Stones
-Mystic Crystals
-Doubloons
-Tomes of Knowledge, I am getting so much and dont know what to do with them.
-Agony Infusions
-Reclaimed Plates
-Chak Eggs
-Mystic Forge Stones?

This suggestion is probably too much work, but I figure I’d make it anyway.

You know how we have a wardrobe option for finishers, that have a number of uses shown if they are limited and don’t have a number if they are infinite?
I think it would be a huge QoL improvement if tonics had a wardrobe tab that did that. I know it is a lot of work, but maybe someday…

Anything that is used in vast quantities.
Ex. Blade Shards, Legendary Insights, Shimmering Crystals, Tenebrous Crystals.

Any currency that can also be used in Mystic Forge recipes.
Ex. Chakk Eggs, Reclaimed plates

Crafting components that have no other use but crafting.
Ex. Milling Basin, Crystalline Bottle

Also Keys would be nice, but I think they would need a whole new system.

Also Tomes of Knowledge and Boosters. I would love to have a place for them too.

Scribing Stuff.

Crystalline Bottles
Milling Basins
Wood Cores
Wood Glue
Embroidered Silk
Bag of Mortar

All those Misc items for decorations that drop that I can’t think of right now.

For consideration I think would be worth taking a step up to 2nd level refinement materials.

I think wood pulp, papers, plain dowels, and pen nibs and tips should be considered since they are common refined materials used in many recipies.

There’s an item in the gem store “Storage Expander,” that allows you to store more than 250 in your material storage, and they said they won’t do writs, tomes, or boosters because they’re not considered crafting materials.

Guild Hall upgrades use a lot of tomes of knowledge, why shouldn’t it be given a higher priority? Especially considering how many we get now. It’s only one slot, not a big deal. I already have a dozen bank tabs, I wouldn’t say I “don’t want to spend on bank slots on storage.”

I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

The scribe materials like lumber cores and whatnot would be awesome but there’/ tons and they kinda fall into the whole “inscriptions etc” bit. However, doublouns/petrified/bloodruby/amalgamated gems/extra currency from hot maps like chak eggs/vision crystals

I know there’s more but can’t think right now
