Nitpicky: Manipulate Number of Bounty Materials?

General Discussion
1

I’m a little OCD when it comes to numbers. The bounty materials I have collected, Khanduran rune, Caldeum nightshade, etc…I want them to be even in my stash. Each bounty chest I open has 3 of the material in it, but right now my materials have quantities of 226, 227, 226, 226, 226. The odd one out is killing me and I want to make it even! (It’s one extra Caldeum nightshade.) I can’t figure out any way to manipulate the stash. I can’t sell individual items. I can’t drop them. On pickup, I can only pick up all three at a time it seems. And for crafting, it requires multiple types of material, there’s no recipe that calls for just Caldeum nightshade without calling for another material as well.

Any helpful hints? Thanks!

I’m the same way.
Spend two each of the other four (226) and then do Bounties on Normal in all Acts except Act 2. That will make them even.

(EDIT) To be more helpful
Gloves use materials from Acts 4 & 5.
Shields use materials from Acts 1 & 3.

So far I have managed to keep mine even for the first time since playing in a season. lol

That is brilliant! Thank you! =)

Or to avoid doing bounties at all, spend:

2x act 2 and 1x of each of the others. That requires crafting 3 items. There’s a few different options, but you could make:

1x bracer (2 + 3)
1x helm (2 + 5)
1x shoulder (1 + 4)

(I even out my bounty materials every season in both HC + SC [and this season all 4 modes], I have a lot of practice at finding optimal strategies that require running the minimum amount of bounties to even up)

Don’t look at the materials tab.

Therapy for OCD? :confused: :slightly_smiling_face:
As long as mine are within 5-10 of each other it’s good enough for my OCD. When you get into the hundreds and then thousands of the damn things it kinda loses relevance.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was a little OCD about that. I just made sure to complete all 5 acts of bounties before starting higher difficulty so they were all equal-ish.

That works too.
Now I know I’ve been doing it the hard way.

The bounty materials in boxes have a gradation:
3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22. So u must go 4 acts for 9 mats and 1 act for 8 (3 - normal, 6 - T1, 8 - T7 )
