It would be a nice feature if you could move blocks of gear to and from your inventory and your moghouse/sack/locker/etc (instead of one at a time). This would greatly speed up moving gear when you're changing jobs.

For example, imagine gear was organized in your inventory like folders on your computer (a treeview) into custom item-groups:

+ Paladin1
- Helmet
- Sword
- Shield
- Boots
- Body armor
- Gauntlets
+Paladin2
- Necklace
- Ring1
- Ring2
+Unsorted
- Potion +1
- Echo drops

The idea being, you could click on an item-group (i.e. "Paladin1") and all the contained items would be transferred at once.

I acknowledge the tricky part here would be creating the interface (buttons & menu[s]) to add/remove your own item-groups.

Even if there's some security or performance restriction that limits one item per move, if a loading screen was shown while each item was transported, you wouldn't have to mash the button to transfer gear.

eh.. alot of my gear is used on multiple jobs, so in many cases it may just help with job specific gears. It's not that bad just moving a few wepons and JSE in that scenario.

Now, moving from a casting class to melee class...that's something completely different. In my case though, that is often grabbing a few pieces from sack and locker, sometimes even swapping some with safe too depending on how much I've been hopping between jobs. So to make it really worth it, it would need to be a handful of seperate containers (like extra satchels) that you could label yourself like with the macro books.

In all honesty, adding one more 80 item container would pretty much solve all my storage needs. Might even be able to get by with them making a seperate container just for furnishings so I could reclaim those slots in Safe. That alone would give me enough room to put all my speciallized mage stuff in one container, and almost all my melee stuff in locker. Would have to keep some of the "all Jobs" pieces in sack until I needed them, but it would pretty much cover my 10 level 90 jobs atm.

I wish that was my scenario. Right now I have enough active jobs that there is a lot of mashing the 'move item' button when it comes time to switch up.
