    The limit is actually 160 items or two sets of 80 at once. It's a memory limit on the PS2 which only has 32MB of system memory. To allow bigger active inventory's they would have to remove something else from active memory. This is also why the auto-translate system hasn't been updated with all the new terms.

    Honestly it's one of those things that piss's me off. A 10+ year old platform is holding the entire game back.

    That's just rubbish. And most people want/need a few open inventory slots for things like pop items, and loot - imagine being at 78/80 when doing voidwatch and having to take stuff out of the chest one by one. I don't view myself as extremely over-the-top in terms of min/maxing but what I just described frequently happens to me.

    I remember a dev post ages ago about this and them saying part of the reason for limited inventory was due to game balance or game difficulty in that you had to pick what gear was most important to take and what not etc. So no guarantee they would increase it even if they could.

    I definitely remember people saying that, I've never heard it from a development bro though. The people who said it were openly mocked, and for good reason.

    If windower and spellcast can make us equip 'sets' why can't they code a way for us to define 'sets' in an alternate equip menu where we 'attach' gear to empty slots like the automaton menu and save equip palettes that we can name and reference in our macros so we can type /equipset "Evisceration" and it will equip all of the gear we defined under the equip palette that we named Evisceration.

    Because a large - very large - part of this game isn't about gear hoarding?

    Until they come out with more readily obtainable, more appropriate universal pieces.....this will always be a problem.

    It would be nice if they would just allow logs, skins, and horns to stack. That way people who want work on their crafting skills don't have to sacrifice space for skins to make leathers or space to make lumbers.
