Gob Sack

The point of this topic isn't about Spellcast or otherwise, it's about a new inventory and using a new macro function to utilize this new space well. If they implemented it, I'm sure they would add an on or off function, turning the Gob Sack into a standard extra inventory space and making it so that old macro commands would work normally.

Or they could use /equip for the Gobbie Bag, and /equipgs for the second inventory. I doubt they would go out of their way to completely ruin an existing system, and that's not my intention either. I simply feel that it would be the best way to enhance the macro system enough for players to be able to equip whatever they need to under whatever circumstance.

This is one of the better ideas that i've seen on here. Even if they just made it so the Mog Sack could be used to hold consumables like pet food, jug pets, nin tools, ammo, etc. Maybe, just to keep it from being overly abused, allow the players to be able to access items from their Mog Sack that would only be used from the ammo/ranged slot. Being a longtime BST and more recently, a NIN, i have like 30 slots taken up by pet food, jug pets, and now ninja tools. I haven't capped my Ninjitsu skills yet, so I still use the standard tools. It would be nice to have a satchel or backpack of some kind that would allow us to use consumable items via macro's. Just restrict the kinds of items to ranged/ammo/tools to keep it from being abused.

I'm all for this. I don't even carry anything but sneak, invis and utsusemi tools when I'm not on ninja. Too much friggin inventory taken. If SE can't figure this out, they should hire one of those guys over at Windower or w/e to do it for them.

I'm glad to hear such great feedback about my idea! I feel it would be more useful than anything else they could update for players. Swapping items in and out of the Gobbie Bag can be a hassle when things are chaotic. I can barely fit Echo Drops let alone any ether I may want to carry for Voidwatch.

It's a shame we can't bring this idea over to the JP community as well. I wonder what their thoughts are regarding the matter.

It would be nice if this forum implemented some type of universal auto translate feature, and a poll system which could be directed to both JP/NA/GE/FR speaking players.

This really does deserve some looking into. Inventories just aren't enough, we need to be able to utilize the items we work hard to get! So much is very useful, and we're limited drastically. Could there be an answer regarding if the dev team may have something that is at least similar to this?

Not sure if it has been said, but since this is sort of an inventory-based thread, make gear that you actually have equipped not take up your inventory space. Seriously, why does my breastplate take up space in my backpack if I am wearing it?

Overall finding a way to overcome the incredibly limiting inventory would be grand. My Blue Mage for example has 76 pieces of gear in my main inventory at all times. I have another 40-50 pieces of gear that I am unable to use due to inventory constraints that sit rotting in my mock sack, and when I need those gear sets I have to make concessions and store other gear sets in said mog sack in order to swap the required gear over.

Imagine the joy of not being able to ungear (or job change) because there's no room in your inventory. SE's solution would be to drop items that don't fit in it.

Because your character isn't naked when you wear 'nothing'? Notice how equiped items become greyed out? That's actually the default gear. Since it has no name ingame, it takes the name of the item that replaced it! It's really the phantom gear that occupies the slot now!

For a more logical reason, check Arcon's reply...

why not just make the Mog sack into a "Items group two"

Commands Menu---
-Status
-Equipment
-Magic
-Items One ---- 80/80
-Items Two ---- 80/80
-Abilities
-ect...

It would be like having 160 inventory slots on the fly and giving us access to both of them, It would just be splitting it up into two groups, also removing it from the View House menu "Mog Sack" also giving us access for those items to work w/in macros. Doing it this way doesn't seem to much of a difficulty. :D

That would be nice, and they could use the same macro adjustments or something similar to what I've said to make it work. I don't really believe it would be too difficult to add.
