    Default I'd appreciate a way to combine all Daily Roll XP Gems you hoard into 1 Gem.

    >Title


    They don't stack and take up inventory space, but I keep em cuz buying Otto's Boxes is a fool's errand on my budget.

    12 slots of 300-1000 XP is better than nothing when you freshly TR.


    I'd just like a way to combine them into 1 Gem.

    Maybe a 'Stone of Past Blessings' or 'Gift of Experience Earned' that you can add them to.





    ...It's a pipe dream but eh

    This would be a nice option. Obviously, I don't think it's necessarily perfect- someone might not want to dump all their experience at once, or might want to pass some stones across characters, so at some point it would probably need to be an additional option instead of a full replacement (at least unless there's some thorough reformatting of how claiming experience works). I also don't think it's necessarily intended to be able to store a ton of experience this way, so I don't know if the developers are interested in implementing this.

    This would be nice, especially with the current daily VIP gold dice rolls giving lots of higher valued XP gems. I absolutely hoard the gems above 500XP once I'm in epics because I feel its a waste to not use them to skip the first few heroic levels. To this end I have toon just filled with XP gems from when I was playing HC XD. I just kept them all because I was always XP capped.

    It would be very nice to combine my stashes into a single gem/item, bonus points if I can choose how much to take out each time. That said I could understand if the devs aren't a fan, especially wrt enabling skipping the low-level content; because yes that would be my near exclusive use for the daily dice XP.

    Propsed new VIP perk - XP bank... works like the plat bank but you drag & drop XP gems into it, then talk to an NPC who checks your current balance & gives out gems in 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k, 100k & 200k increments... and yes, i may have based that on UK coin values :P

    Could even add an option for dispensing them as sentient XP gems instead at 1/10 of the value so 100 to 20k sentient XP.

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.

    Even just making them stack would be fantastic. Only 11 slots if you discard below 500 xp, 15 otherwise.

    Stacking also wouldn’t require developing a new system. There are 21 unique values that would take up just over a single backpack/bank tab on a mule, which would help considerably.

    I still have tons of XP stones left over from the daily season pass gold rolls and extra rolls from HC leagues. I’ve even started skipping to level 5 on a TR for the convenience of starting with my Feywild gear set.

    Great idea. I recently finished grinding lives on my main and don't plan on starting on the alt yet and my space is shrinking fast with daily gold rolls. I'm already just tossing away smaller stones since they aren't worth the space.

    Stacking seems like a great way to do it. I started eating everything below 2k immediately now . But I guess stacking is also how most duping works ?

    True enough but what you could do is set up multiple gems with similar values...

    For example I TR and use gems to hit level 3 which on 3rd life is 32K XP, if I could combine my gems I would make multiple gems each worth that much or as close as possible to it.

    The possibilities are almost endless for the idea and has been thrown about since daily were introduced more or less. Heck I would even pay to have this ability! I have a mule nearly full of gems who has all available inventory and bank slots bought.

    Create an item (preferrable one that drops in-game) similar to a sentient gems (sentient-ish potion?) but we feed it XP stones. And when it's filled or any time in-between, we can consume it and gain that much XP.

    I always imagined the problem was there were only so many discrete XP stone items in the database. There is no, e.g., 3100 XP stone in the game's database to turn your 1000, 1000, 500, 300, and 300 stone into.

    But you'd think at the very least you could have a partial solution using the current systems, with a cruncher that let you combine specific XP stones to consolidate. Like 100+400=500, 300+200=500, 500+500=1000, 750+750=1500. Even just those four recipes would be a huge boon for storage space on your XP stone mule since it'd let you combine everything from silver rolls to 1000s and 1500s

    Then have the same ones x10 for VIPs with gold rolls. Especially now they all get daily dice...its kind of a backhanded present when it requires them to store so many more stones

    Easiestsolution would be to allow them to stack to 100 per stack.

    I think the more elegant solution would be to allow these to stack in inventory.

    I speculate the reason they don't may have to do with the idea that they don't want us to accumulate these XP stones.

    At this time I have an alt that banks any 1k+ so I can begin at level 3 for a TR. Since I run multiple characters constantly the ones lower then 1k simply get used on the spot so to speak.

    Stacking sounds great if it's in a bag. I can't afford 15 slots to stackable xp stones. In a bag definitely. Daily gold and silver rolls is getting out of hand.

    Anything along these lines would be a major QOL improvement. I too bank the larger XP stones on mules so a character can start at level 3 or 4 after a TR. XP stones don't serve much of a purpose other than jumping a few levels after a TR, or closing a small XP gap when close to leveling and you don't want to run another quest until you level. Even if they only stacked in the bank or a bag would be great. Anything!

    No need to speculate, it is absolutely true that stacking XP stones would create extremely problematic behavior for the long-term health of the game. We don't have plans to change the way these stones work, but if we did, offering further opportunity to hoard them would not likely be something we would pursue.

    Thank you for giving us the heads up so we do not pine for what cannot be.

    Given the feedback, what could replace the xp stones that would be of value/use, and players would not have an incentive to hoard? Anything I can think of right now I would probably want to hoard!

    edit: I am a bit of a pack rat, and keep pretty much at least one of everything named that drops just in case.

    How about looking at it from the long term customer relation side of things?
    The xp-gems eating other xp-gems should free up more resources as less mules to keep score/track off.
    Less unique items floating around and nothing stacking as, well, you know why xp-gems are not allowed to stack anymore.

    Maybe offer such a cruncher to, I don't know, with a 2 year subscription plan?
    Then I might be tempted to buy that one.

    Heck, we could even make it a cash-xp debit system on the bank.
    Feed it all the xp stones you want on your shared account and withdraw it from the bank.
    Perhaps even one day we could store saga rewards directly to bank that way.
