I hope there is more storage space with this expansion, its getting very limited now that everyone is leveling so many jobs. My RDM & DRK alone fill my Sack & Satchel almost, let alone the other 13 jobs I have leveled. : /

Indeed it is quite terrible even with the 'recent' additions. Especially for a collector (or a hoarder, if you will) like me!
I've got lots of 'useless' stuff with me, and I always will, but at the same time I do have stuff for several jobs and TP/WS\MDT sets and whatnots. The Porter Moogles aren't exactly the most convenient way to move gear around often, though I can't imagine a life without them any longer as I tend to upgrade Empyrean Armour for every job there is, and collect all the Relics and Artifacts, Nyzul and Salvage gear... everything!).
I know, I'm horrible. :V
Bah, thunderstorm here... I didn't call fer you!
Begone! -

Speaking of slips it would be nice if some of the items that are just for show like the Crown from ToAU were storeable since they take up room but some players will want to keep them still. I know alot of gear can be stored but I still feel like there should be so much more added. For instance, some weapons should be storeable, like the VW weapons, AF1 weapons, and the like. Perhaps add in Relic/Mythic/Emps as well if possible. They should also add the Sphere bodies to the VW slip, Heka's, Mekira, Toci's, they could all be added, same with the T4 City bodies.

07-14-2012, 02:41 AMDuvemoraYou're not alone. I'm a hoarder too. I collect any armor/weapons I can get my hands on, especially rare/ex NM drops. I also collect anything I think looks cool or fashionable. And then add the useful armor and weapons to that...Quote:

Never mind having to pay money to remove each item from the previous storage NPCs. -

We're getting our own monster ranch. I'll gladly give up raising a fifth Ducken if it means I get 80 more slots.

True getting our own islands and all that if I remember right. So that should be somewhere for extra items. :D

Yay, storm of thunders gone.
Artifact weapons you can actually store with the 04 slip, but yeah, there are lots more they could, and should add.Quote:

Duvemora,

Yeah, sounds too familiar! I'd probably carry all event items with me, if I could, not to forget fireworks and a lot of other stuff! Being able to send a lot of mementos to other characters eased up a lot but new stuff just keeps taking their place! I still carry 3 different kinds of lilies, and some other flowers and such. A goblin coif which is who knows how many years old (I got it from a friend who played before me already, who got it from someone when he was level 40, and so on).
After I have all the Empyrean armour, things should be a lot better due to getting rid of all those seals finally (I tend to keep what I happen to get here and there, instead of finishing them one or four at a time to be done with them, which I probably should be doing heh... hehe).
The 'ranch' is likely the thing that most interests me about the expansion at the moment. I am really looking forward to see what it will be like, though I'm not getting my hopes up! -

Just make people pay an addition $1 subscription fee for each additional 80 slots they want to whateevr max you deem apropriate. Countless people will pay and extra $1 a month for 80 storage.

07-14-2012, 07:01 AMDemon6324236
Eh, would annoy me. Already paid real life money for ingame storeage before,my satchel, not something I liked doing, to do it monthly would cost me even more : /

I interviewed a few chocobos about holding our gear for us and they stated:

This may take a bit of time but they are proactively checking to see if it's technically possible to have additional inventory space as well as expanding the Mog Sack's maximum capacity. :)
As some of you may have heard, we will first be making adjustments so that it will be possible to access your Mog Storage from places other than your home nation.
We'll be sure to keep you updated as we progress! -

07-19-2012, 08:50 AMCowardlybabooonI actually kinda like having to do a gobbiebag quest or something. There are so many people running around with jillions of gil these days and nothing to spend it on. I will gladly farm these gobbiebag items and sell them at a hefty commission :-) Seriously though, the auction house needs more things that people want to buy these days. With crafting in the current state that it is, there are not many simple items to farm now. Most of the time it just makes more sense to do voidwatch.Quote:

New Gobbie Bag Quest:
1x Umbral Marrow
1x Mulciber Scoria
1x Riftcinder
1x Riftdross -

XD yes i'm evil...
but kidding aside, outside the fact ima need to farm my mithran tail off idm...
i'm surpised they don;t just rework the entire inventory system to cut out the equipment we use from the inventory, then just use a bag system similar to WoW, and the gobbi who gave said quests can be used to make special bags vis the items... and have cloth crafters make bags Then just put the UI to show 3, 4 square slots we use for bag space making the the top bag be 200 slots. That should help with the woes. -

07-19-2012, 10:50 PMDragoy·~·I have probably about 10 spots free in the Mog Safe /bank, and I have just a bed, and I think one cabinet there. The rest is just event stuff laying around the floor, leaving only some squares free!Quote:

Point being, it would certainly be nice to somehow be able to use the Mog Safe for storage once more again, while actually keeping the stuff in the room still! I don't think there is an easy way to do this at all with the current system though... -
07-19-2012, 10:55 PMKristalI tried breeding a fat chocobo - or chocobese, by giving it plenty of fatty food, VanaTV access and no walks. Results were... disappointing. Having your stash of mithkabobs regurgitated by a chocobese tends to diminish their palpability.. not to mention the smell of your armor. Being shunned by your fellow adventurers is bad enough, but even marlboros make themselves scarce when you get within 100 yalms...Quote:

I thought chocobos only said "wark" in FFVII and earlier, and then the officially changed to "kweh". FFXI has Camp Kweh for raising chocobos.

After talking to a few friends and stuff , The easiest way for them to help out on storage with the system they got is just add more storage slips for each job you got kind like the macros list can have 20 books, example if got a warrior can store up to 30 items no matter what but needs to have a war as one the weapons or armor he/she can use to store it, for the trade to the porter moogle, then just expaned on that, so each job got there own slip , but the items need be rare/ex or items that can not be sold or traded or bazaar. other wise nothing ever would be sold.
Also any item that re/ex or cant be sold or bazaar should have a misc porter moogle slip to store stuff. -

Noteworthy ways to fix some storage woes, i havent cracked the game code, but am comparing to other games similar to this one (in their own ways) and i felt these were worth mention.
Furniture; Similar to loading automaton attachments, have a storage category to load furniture into the house itself, rather than the safe, because...having a bed RIGHT THERE yet someone in a magical safe, seems nonsense. In a nutshell load furniture into safe, use nation's menu function to transfer furniture item A into house list. Use redecorate to layout furniture. In a nutshell that would place furniture in its own menu, while requiring them to be loaded into the safe first then transfered, converself, then you could unload if you had room in safe to manage this.
Take Out/Put Away; No clue if this is true, but i hear the limit to things that can be displayed on screen via menues is around 160, thus limiting each storage to 80 (to manage when having a source and destination open). IF this is true, what about expanding each menu to ask if you are depositing or withdrawing, then only opening the target menu during that operation. For example, Safe. Assuming you would like to load 3 items into safe, you select deposit and it pulls up only your active inventory, from which, the game would check content quantity but not specifics, to store items. Doing it this way would have it check, see there are 40/80 in your safe, but not what 40 items, and would transfer the information between the two lists without outputting it. However... i suspect this is now allowed BECAUSE doing so would allow doubles of rare items to occupy the same storage space.
Storage containers. Some games like this option. If i put a treasure-chest in my MH in my nation, why not make it possible to ACTUALLY interact, and store items within it, then access its contents?
Layered Storage. Okay similar to the last one, why not layer storage to some degree. When accessing mog safe, have it pull up storage locations, similar to how it does now, or similar to the ability menu. Being able to go Mog House > Furniture > Chest > 5 stored items. Might be a nice option, however you can always limit how many tiered storages can be permitted, say 5 for example. If feasable this may be useful for mog-sack like storages. Being able to access Sack1/Sack2/Sack3/Sack4/Sack5.
Bundles. This is one of my favorites, lets assume you have 5 pieces of a set (of approved gear, lets use the Teal/Aurore sets and puppetmaster for example for this explanation) in your inventory that arent equipped. Lets say your PUP has its aurore gear equipped. Its teal set is nolonger equipped, and is taking up 5 slots. Lets bundle it, using a command in menu to take all 5 pieces, and convert them into a useable item. Teal Chapeau, Teal Cuffs, Teal Pigaches, Teal Slops, and Teal Saio become the useable item Teal Bundle. This ofcourse would only work with complete sets, would need to be manually done, and would not work with augmented items (because ever copy of the bundle would be the same). So if you then change your Puppetmaster to Black mage and suddenly need your Teal gear, you can use the Teal Bundle, and suddenly be granted all 5 items, and then can opt to bundle your aurore gear. Flaws i see are again, with gear being rare, it could be obtained more than once unless there is some sort of check in place to prevent the gear from co-existing with said bundle. Additionally this would be more practical for gear sitting in MH slots rather than active macroable inventory. Still a thought and a somewhat reasonable one if you ask me.
Not saying these can be implemented, but are my ideas for some storage issue resolutions. -
