IDEA: Relief to Inventory Issues

[paito]

Many people have problems managing their inventory. There are two reasons for this. 1)Limit of 80 spaces. 2)The game is built horizontally. Meaning you need one set to ws in, one to tp in, one to cast cure, one to nuke, etc etc.

Here are some things that are VERY easy to implement that will help many people out.

There is a very common number in FFXI. That number is 8. 8 elements, 8 days of the week, 8 items in the trade window, etc. Things that go along with this number are:

8 Elemental Obi's
8 WS Gorgets
8 WS Belts
8 Elemental Sachets
8 Elemental Grips
8 Elemental Staves
etc

Some of these items take a lot of effort and work to get (all 8 trial staves, either magic damage, magic acc, or avatar for example). Now as a mage, having all 8 obi's, all 8 staves, and all 8 grips, you are now down 24/80 inventory, over 25%. That's a lot of space.

I propose you create an npc that if you trade him all 8 obi's (8 spaces in the trade window so no problem there), he gives you a rainbow obi that works for all 8 elements (The Twilight cape is the same thing so they could easily make an obi to do it). All 8 Sachets = Rainbow Sachet, all stats +2, hp/mp, and occasionally absorbs magic damage. All 8 ws gorgets/belts = a gorget or belt that works for all ws's. all 8 element damage +6, element acc +1, element casting -14% = one staff for all 8 elements. etc etc.

This turns 24/80 inv into 3/80. MUCH easier to work with.

The coding for this should be relatively simple and will help the strain on many players, especially mages.

What Hawk is saying is true with the only 5 macro space's that we have on PS2 is not anought of all those gears to macro into them because of PS2 limitations.

I rather see it aswell that those Obi's and/Gorget is set into one Gorget and Obi's you will win allot of space in your invetory and Macro's.

It will be nice that Hawk said about those AF/Relic/emp armor you can Combine with but put them all into one is Too good to be true tbh. But the other hand is that ppl will get intrested in doing Limbus/Dynamis again but if you wanna combine something that will only be 2 too choose like AF an Relic, Relic and Emp or AF and emp and not all 3 for me example is Relic on a MNK hands the first choose because I'm a Tarutaru and the other one will be AF because I dont need haste anymore on my hands. The other is that you can see so many combinations and gear through the game. Look what happend a few years back. SE got Sick of it that everyone was wearing the same Turban for years!. Now it is all the same Emp armor. Now that But if they do that combine thing you will see difrent ppl wearing difrent things and that is what either I and others wanna see in Vana'diel so you can look at those ppl what they are thinking and what they reason is with that combination. It will be intresting!
