    Default Transmuting Essences is too slow.

    I'm standing here clicking "transmute" on a stack of Greater Fire Essences and it's taking forever. Any way we can remove the cooldown timer so we can convert larger stacks of materials efficiently?

    Or as has been suggested elsewhere, do more than 1 at a time.

    The time to transmute didn't really bother me all that much.

    My guess is that this is because you were not transmuting 2000 of them.

    No. Turbine hates your mouse and wants to punish it.
    Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
    • Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
    • Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
    • Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
    • Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
    • Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.

    I always wonder about why games like to put in cooldowns on things that have no reason to have cooldowns .

    The hamsters that power the server get tired faster when you give them more work. More cooldowns give them longer rest breaks.

    RSI / RMD is the reason for the cooldown.

    This would be an effective solution, until someone crunches 2000 when they meant to do 200 and lose 800 greater essences. Still, I think its a good idea and should have a U@YOR warning attached.

    I think that after the dowsing wands "event", there were a number of posts complaining about how those that did this had arm, wrist and sholder pain for days... yes I know poor them for making all that plat
