Guild Wars 2

blade shards, baubles, super baubles, lesser vision crystals, vision crystals, icy runestones, general gifts for crafting legendary weapons (gift of metal, gift of battle, etc.) with the exception of gifts like “Gift of Bolt” which is used for only one legendary item

• recipe books
• dubloons
• mystic forge stones
• (lesser) vision crystals
• All “Gift of…” items
• mystic crystal
• philosophers stones
• milling basins

I understand why not all crafting components are going to be added, but just the insignias/inscriptions would help a lot.

- Doubloons
- Blood Rubies
- Petrified Wood
- Mystic Forge Shards
- Blade Shard (That you already confirmed)
- Bauble
- Bauble Bubble
- Continue Coin
- Amalgamated Gemstone

LinseyMurdock.4165:

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!

Maybe someone has said this in the 400 responses, but I feel that anything used as a crafting material should have a storage space. Any other non-crafting items can go into bank and guild bank spaces.

Blade Shards – yay for storage, bonus to expectations.

On a side-note: bringing back the Zephyr vendor that took them would also be nice for peeps who have ‘too many’ Blade Shards especially as they still drop from the Watchwork node and the only use for them is for the Spinal Blade backpacks (different team, nudge-nudge, wink-wink). And until the LS1 comes back and/or another supply of Assault Cores enters the game; I don’t think they need a slot of their own. If people have that many cores they can start selling them off or make use of the bankspace they’re squirrelling them away for their rainy day funds.

So this is my thinking behind my choices and what I presume is the thinking here: it’s more common items that we potentially can utilise.

Scribing stuff:

• Crystalline Bottle
• Milling Basin
• Bag of Mortar
  Most of the other vendor-sold components get a slot like Jug of Water, Primordium, Spools of Thread, etc. get a slot so these should too for definite. I’d also like:
  *Tub of Wood Glue
  *Bolt of Embroidered Silk

.. which are sold by the guild trader (and on TP) but it would be nice to save them up for later usage. Obviously might affect their worth on the TP.

Outside desire: the rare trophies:

• Lumber Cores: Alpine, Arid, Ascalonian, Coastal, Palm and Krytan
• Feldspar Core
• Lamp Finial
• Essence of Light and Essence of Elegence
• Giant Mushroom Spore
• Rare Flower Seed and Jungle Grass Seed
• Auric Crown
• Pristine Feather
• Festive Transom
• Pruning Shears
• Visages of Balthazar, Lyssa, Melandru, Dwayna, Grenth, Kormir
• Ascalonian Blueprints

Pipe-dream level of storage solution as they take up space and if they drop for newer scribes it’d be nice to have the storage be dynamic.

Super Adventure Box:

• Baubles
• Bauable Bubbles

Miscellaneous:

• Blood Ruby
• Petrified Wood
• Any future map currencies
• Doubloons: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum
• Medallions, Crests and Amalgamated Gemstones
• Shimmering/Tenebrous Crystals

legendary components

Would be great:
- milling basin
- legendary insights
- blood rubies
- petrified wood
- amalgamated gemstones
- crystalline bottles

Would be good:
- mystic forge stones
- philosopher’s stones
- mystic crystals
- doubloons
- crests
- +1 agony infusions

Would be nice but already rejected:
- boosters
- tomes of knowledge
- writs of experience

I’m not currently at my computer/on gw2 so I made my list based off of other posts.

I would really like the Embellished Jewels and such that sometimes drop from rares to be added to the Jewels and Gemstones tab.
Also, a lot of stuff that’s already mentioned, like vision crystals, tenebrous and shimmering crystals, blade shards, milling basin, mystic forge stones, augur’s stones, philosophers stones, vision crystals.

Gold Fractal Relics?

- Mystic Forge Stones
- Amalgamated Gem Stones
- Doubloons
- Petrified Wood
- Blood Rubies
- +1 Agony Infusions (a girl can hope!)
- Crests (rare)
- Shimmering Crystals
- Tenebrous Crystals
- Vision Crystals
- Lesser Vision Crystals
- Milling Basins
- Black Lion Salvage Kit (can I just tell you HOW MANY of these I have gotten from the daily logins? How actually useful would these be if they could stack like the Mystic Salvage Kit, and then be put in material storage?)

Agree with this assessment. Without an Assault Core supply, the blade shards aren’t useful to me but I keep getting them as drops and saving them in the vain hope I could make another backpack. It would be nice to be able to spend them at the vendor again.

On a similar note, adding another item to my wishlist (or hoping to bring back a vendor for this too):
- Found Heirloom
- Festival Token
- Bauble / Bubble Baubles
- Continue Coins
- Wintersday Gifts

So the one thing I want is access to my material storage when I’m at the trading post.

Doubloons
Amalgamated Gemstone
Blade Shard
Shimmering Crystal/Tenebrous Crystal
Chak Egg
Reclaimed Metal Plate
Vision Crystal/Lesser Vision Crystal
Blood Ruby (Account wallet would make more sense, but I’d be happy with either)
Petrified Wood (Account wallet would make more sense, but I’d be happy with either)

Alrighty, I just went into my storage and here is a list of things I am accessing often, that would be nice to be able to deposit into Material storage.
~Blade Shards
~Shimmering & Tenebrous Crystals
~Milling basins
~Mystic Forge Stones
~Mystic Crystals
~Elonian Wine
~Philosopher Stones
~Blood Rubies
~Petrified Wood
~All Scribe Lumber cores(Feldspar, arid, alpine etc.)
~Scribe Tubs of Glue, Bolts of Embroidered Silk
~Vision & Lesser vision Crystals
~Badges of Tribute
~Black Lion Chests

Queen Jennah minis and blade shards. The full 250 stack and 750 shards required to forge the Ultra Mega Mecha Jennah super siege golem really deserve to be placed in materials storage.
Probably a good idea to add bloodstone rubies and petrified wood for the guild upgrades.
Sure they are expensive but those 3 way for fights in Stonemist castle between Ultimate Red Jenny Deathbots are amazeballs!

NecroMongress.8691:

Thank you for the reply. Since there is a cap on luck and luck is account bound, what would be the point in storing it? Is there another use for it?

yes there is, it is used in Guild hall upgrades as well. some in small amounts, other upwards of 777 exotic essesnces of luck.

Mac.8296:

Would it be at all possible to extend the number that you can have in a stack in the bank in regards to abundant ascended materials, such as piles of bloodstone dust, dragonite ore, and empyreal fragments – I have SO many stacks laying in ‘bank’ characters’ inventories…

Boosters, Black Lion Chests, doubloons, tonics, and everything that you can get from the black lion chests (bank access, merchants, etc)

you should not be able to put a bank access express in your bank.

If it has the words; “crafting material” in the description, it should be able to go into storage! Simple.

About the scribe materials: Would it be possible for you to create a guild material storage that takes the different lumber cores, defensive maps of the mists and similar stuff? That way, people could donate all of their scribe materials to the guild without them disappearing forever in everyone’s personal material storage, and the guild scribes that have the matching guild rights could use them for crafting just like the decorations are already used.

-Agony Infusions Fills in the bank even though it is used as a form of crafting mat/currency for upgrading.

-Tenebrous Crystal Crafting mat that is just filling up in the bank.

-Bricks of Clay another mat that is filling my bank.

-Mystic Forge Stones Also a form for “mat”.

-Blade Shards also just is in my bank taking up space.

-Philosopher stone I promote a lot so I buy big bulks but I delete them when I am done if there are any left, because I don’t want them wasting space. Would be nice to have them in the material storage as accidently pressing the deposit all materials would have no extra negativ effect as the mats I was using would also just go into the bank anyway.

-Black Lion Chest just clogs up my inventory

-Amalgamated Gemstone When I do my guild farms I am always afraid I might accidentally sell them as I cannot press “deposit material” and it would just be nice.

-Mystic Crystal same as with Philosopher stone.

-Milling Basins expensive and they fill my bags/bank in an unnecessary way.

-Writ of Experience Gotta wait until I have 20 to even use anyway.

-Tome of Knowledge Gotta wait until my credit card is full so I can buy new character slots anyway.

I love this idea!

In addition to everyone’s excellent suggestions I’d like to see Chunk of Crab Meat upgraded to a food crafting item and added to storage.

One thing I noticed in the material storage forum chat was the listing of the crowbars, chak acid etc. One thing I find is that I will be out on a character doing a map completion or a meta and realize I have left everything on another character or in the bank. I know they do not meet the level for material storage because they have no crafting value. Could we add them to the wallet so they are cross character?

Also I would love to see Gift of <enter name here> added to the material storage. They are a crafting component and you cannot salvage them to something lower. When you have 19 toons with 100% personal story, map, and development completion……..you end up with quite a few of them. Plus you have the holiday gifts like mad king stuff etc. If its listed in the material storage as an option people might strive harder to fill an empty slot……I know I would.

Nice topic! Here’s my list:

- Shimmering / Tenebrous Crystals
– Mystic Forge Stones
– Tomes of Knowledge
– Fractal Encryptions
– Maybe the new secondary map currencies like Petrified Wood
– Black Lion Salvage Kits (hehe)
– Fractal Research Pages
– Chakk Eggs
– Baubles and Bauble Bubbles
I know, no “materials” at all but the stuff just keeps stacking :/ Also like your straightforward way of talking, Lindsey

Mystic Stones
Blade Shards
Vision Crystals (both kinds)
Doubloons
Tenebrous crystals
Shimmering crystals
Milling basin
Amalgamated gemstones
Doubloons

Blood rubies
Petrified wood

And I agree with this person who said
- philosopher’s stones
- mystic crystals
although I have so many spirit shards, wasting these by deleting the extras isn’t a concern for me personally.

And for me, the things that I wish to keep but clog up my inventory the most – the things that would benefit me (and my kids on their accounts) the most if they were out of my bank – are tonic and other consumable bundle items: rotten eggs, toilet paper, . My kids could actually keep and use them.

Anything you need a ton of for crafting, not counting Mystic Forge crafting. Blade Shards come to mind. Milling Stones, too. Those are annoying. Multiple crafts can use them but only Chef vendors sell them, so you’ve gotta either mosey on over to a Master Chef every time you run out(even if you’re in the Guild Hall doing Scribing stuff…seriously, every crafting vendor should sell them), or commit bank space to keeping them on hand at all times.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

What should NOT be added, imo, but are listed a lot in this thread:

• Gifts for legendary crafting; seriously why do people list these? Don’t they count as Linsey’s “definitely not” crafted components?

People are listing the Exploration Gifts which you get just for completing maps. If you’re not 100% sure you’ll never ever ever craft a legendary, they are time consuming enough to gather that you need to hold onto them, which uses a slot for something that you won’t be accessing very often.

I agree that Gifts one only crafts by intent shouldn’t use up Mat Storage, but those HoT Map Gifts and World Completion Gifts can happen to players not specifically going for them.

People are listing all gifts, though. Some more specific than others. I can maybe agree with the mapping ones, but that’s just one slot (two if you map all of HoT and Core). That’s not a big deal at all.

But folks are adding the crafted ones and the dungeon gifts too, which need to be made first. And let’s face it: if you don’t have the space for those gifts, why make/buy them?

The reason to make/buy these early is that Anet can sneakily change how you get them at any time, like they did with the Gift of Battle. Who knows when they may decide to gyp you out of a Gift of Thorns that you planned to buy with your tokens, by making it a PvP track, instead? They won’t care that you didn’t buy it before they made the change because you were out of bank space. Nor will they care about how unhappy you are about having to earn the gift again, and having to play a game-type that you don’t want to play.

I’d like to see cooking materials that are crafted, but not consumable. You can’t eat them to make them go away they should be able to be stored as materials.

Guild hall materials already have the treasury to go in so I’d say it’s fair to exclude items like Tomes.

don’t gonna repeat what allready said 10 times, but didn’t saw this item: indigo mushrooms

First off…Thanks Linsey for posting this and taking our input into consideration.

My list pretty much has already been mentioned in the many posts here:

Almagamated Gemstones
Forge Stones
Milling Basins
Vision Crystals
Anything used for Scribing(I’m ok with having those deposit into Guild Storage as well as someone previously suggested…anything to get them off my toon. )
Doubloons
Blade Shards(you’ve already said those should be added.)

I can understand why the Petrified Wood and Blood Rubies woudl be tough for a wallet as a currency, as they are also salvageable…so no wallet for them…but maybe a place in storage.

Thanks again.

Milling Stones
Milling Basins
Blade Shards
Doubloons

Biermeister.4678:

Milling Stones
Milling Basins
Blade Shards
Doubloons

Milling Stones already go into the storage

Sigils Runes and Infusions would save a ton of space after salvaging on the go.

1. Reclaimed Metal Plates
2. Arid Lumber Core
3. Mystic Crystals
4. Chak Eggs
5. Vision Crystals
6. Bloodstone Shard
7. Icy Runestones
8. Mystic Forge Stones

Everything that is account bound and stacks and is used for crafting in some form:
for instance: Blade shards, Rubies, Petrified Wood, but also things like Mystic Forge stones.

SkullProX.7083:

Not material storage related but would be nice to have sth like wardrobe for infinite tonics.

This would be nice, i had destroy several account bound infinite tonics over the years. Due to lack of room.

Adelas.6598:

My youngest daughter has a character dedicated to collecting tonics. She loves moving around (mostly in the cities ) in different tonic forms, and makes sure she has one or more of as many types of tonic as she can get.

Actually one of her first trips outside of a city was exploration of the caledon forest in pink quaggan transformation (with one of my guardians as a bodyguard). Walking around transformed and unable to fight somehow made her feel safer .

I’d love a tonic tab in the wardrobe similar to the finisher one that takes both endless and limited-use tonics. Goofing around with friends and guildies in transformation form is one thing I really enjoy, but the tonic I’d love to use is almost never on the character I’m on at that moment.

the answer is simple, and not before the end of the world … any new or old ‘currency’ you, ANet, have added to the game, or will add, since launch!

I don’t have to make a list, you know what needs to be added!!!

Maybe I get to keep some ‘stuff’ I destroy that could be used on something.

Tonic’s
Black lion Chest boosters.

Ps. Gimme Scars and tatoo armor.

petrified wood, bloody ruby’s (its like they are mats anyway), shimmering and tenebre crystals!

You said it yourself, these are currency items, not crafting materials. SMH

Rubies and Petrified wood are not used for crafting anything though…….

These items belong in the wallet, not in mat storage

OriOri.8724:

But, they can both be salvaged for Unbound Magic…so it makes them a unique kind of ‘salvageable’ currency. So the argument can be made for both cases.

I definitely do not know the best answer for those 2 specific items…but I share the wish that they would be put somewhere…storage or wallet…but storage seems to make a little more sense since you can take them out of a Mat Storage spot easier than getting them back out of the wallet in case you need to salvage some. So I lean more toward a Mat Storage spot.

The answer is extremely simple. Treat them exactly like pristine fractal relics. Throw rubies and petrified wood directly into the wallet, and let players buy sacks of unbound magic for 1 ruby/wood each and open them to convert.

Just because something is taking up space unnecessarily does not mean that it needs to go in mat storage. Way too many people in this thread (not you, just in general) are just trying to turn mat storage into a huge second bank where they can store boosters, BLTC items, currencies, keys etc…… That is not what mat storage is for.

As a crafter, this thread made me so happy!

Since we already have slots for Ingots (metal), Bolts (cloth) and Squares (leather), all of which are crafted materials used as the base for most recipes, what about adding the most basic and commonly used cooking ingredients:

Ball of Dough (36 recipes)
Ball of Cookie Dough (15 recipes)
Pile of Salt and Pepper (26 recipes)
Baker’s Wet Ingredients (23 recipes)
Baker’s Dry Ingredients (25 recipes)
Cream Soup Base (15 recipes)
Loaf of Bread (only 12 recipes but it’s soulbound)

… and possibly also:
Roux – because it’s the base for a lot of sauces (and that cream soup base).
White Frosting – because it seems to be a base ingredient for most of the frosted cake recipes?
Ice Cream Base – ditto for ice cream recipes.

(Also +1 to those who suggested a tonic wardrobe tab. I would collect the baby-cats out of those things if I had someplace convenient to keep them.)

If possible, I need a place to store a vast amount of skulls I have from defeating pvp’ers over the years. Maybe under ingredients, as I use them to make, and as I like to call it “once it was alive soup” with them.

Great topic Linsey, here are my suggestions:
- Blade Shards,
- Shimmering Crystals,
- Mystic Forge Stones,
- Unidentified Dyes,
- +1 Agony Infusion (if possible all of them…),
- Gifts of Exploration,

And some unlikely things that would be great to get deposited with “deposit all materials”.
- Tomes of Knowledge,
- Potions of PvP Reward,
- Blood Rubies
- Petrified Wood
- Rotten Eggs
- Toilet Paper

Thank you!
