Summary0007895: Spell Orb Stash Limit Tweak
DescriptionI think it would be a good idea to make the limit on spell orbs a per tier limit, rather than an overall limit. For example, allow you to have 25 tier 2 spell orbs, 25 tier 3, 25 tier 4 AND 25 tier 5 (or maybe 15 each, or something).

Here's my reason: after the latest update I find myself permanently unable to get any new spell orbs on this continent because I have more than 500 tier 5 spell orbs already in the stash.

See, I set myself the arbitrary challenge a little while ago of getting every spell at max tier on this continent. Don't ask why I want to do this, just go with it. In any case, I was nearly done before this update was released and now I can't finish because I'm missing a single tier 4 orb and the 25-orb cap prevents me from getting any new ones.

This is probably not going to be a problem for most people, except that it is now possible to raise the continent's tier before actually getting any tier 2 orbs, then do 9 world map missions, and you'll be unable to get any spell to tier 2 or above on that continent, regardless of diluter enchants.

Another possible solution is to allow players to discard excess spell orbs from their stash.

Already works like you want! The limit is per tier already.

And if you get to a higher tier and then find you need a lower tier of orbs, use one of the diluter enchants from the opal guardian stone's store. :)

Um no, it doesn't work like that. I've done a bunch of tier 2 missions since the change and it never adds the orbs to the stockpile, always saying I'm over the 25 orb limit even though there's only 1 tier 2 orb there. I've also since killed all 4 lieutenants and I can confirm that I am unable to increase the number of tier 2, 3 or 4 orbs in the stockpile (currently at 1, 2 and 1 respectively) through use of diluter enchants. Perhaps this is a bug (my guess is that it checks if there are more than 100 orbs total and rejects the addition before checking the appropriate tier), but it doesn't work the way you say it should.

The issue is not already dealt with, despite assurances to the contrary.

I've included two screenshots taken seconds apart at the end of a JtP mission at tier 5, using a diluter 4 enchant. The first shows it rejecting the addition of 3 tier 4 orbs to the stockpile, the second shows the relevant section of the stockpile itself.

To be clear: the limit is not 25 currently in the stockpile -- it's 25 ever having been in there on that settlement. If you've spent 23 already and have 2 in the settlement, you're full up. But it's per-tier, not cross-tier, I can guarantee you.
