Merit Weapon Skills - cap increase?

[Zhronne]

I was wondering if there are any plans, or if developers are at least considering the hypothesys, of increasing the current cap to the Merit Weapon Skills category, which is currently fixed at a max of 15 upgrades.

Would be nice if in the future this limit could be raised up to at least 20 upgrades, similarly to what happened to several other merit categories in the past, across the years.

So much has changed since they were added...

I doubt they will cause of a few of them weapon skills being so strong anymore would make getting empys and relics and mythical pointless.

I think the OP want's to be able to use more of the WS at 5/5. I don't think he wants them to be stronger.

I really don't see why they wouldn't do this. They are not procs for anything and they would keep poeple on the wheel (even if its not that much longer) for little time investment and everyone would be happy. Right now it its 3mil exp to cap 3 go up to 5 its 5mil so on.

Yep, exactely

[Karbuncle]

I agree

Would be good to have it at 25 instead of 15. I'm currently at 5/5 Shoha, 5/5 Resolution and 5/5 Stardiver. I'd like to play with more of them but I can't really afford to give up anything except possible SD.

I want 15/15 on staff. And an adjustment to make it crit hit. MNK needs a good staff WS! (And my SMN is not going to steal it at all.)

10 jobs at 99, 3 mages, 7 melee. Some have WS that are restricted to their use only, or maybe one other job ( ie SAM, NIN, etc.). Being able to only fully merit 3 is a bit limiting....really needs to have a higher category cap.

Absolutely So many jobs and so few choices makes me sad. Some of the meritted WS are great and some like staff and club would just be fun to have. Being able to cap more than 3 would be fantastic.

Additionally, a little off topic since I can't figure out how to start a new thread, if another user or moderator could create a new thread for me it would be great. Let's start talking about storage and inventory space. I know I am not alone that if you have adequate to excellent gear and macros for your jobs, we definitely need more than 80 spaces in base inventory, or a linked bag of some kind, or heck even an "infinite and sortable storage system within the moghouse wopuld be awesome. Muling is such a waste of time and even still many things can't be sent. I wind up going to VW and have to toss all my logs and ores instead of npcing them due to lack of inventory space.
