Expanding Inventory Space

[Bahamut]

Hello Producer Akihiko_Matsui, I'm very glad you decided to take on the challenge of inventory space. As a person who has 16 level 99 characters and 4 level 75s, I want to say that this is a very real and personal situation to me. I have three characters dedicated to storing my armor, weapons, and rare item drops for armor and weapon upgrades. I have gotten almost every space full on each of them and my main character is constnatly bogged down by transfering this gear to and from these characters for every job type (mage or melee).

I will list here my situation, a few concerns and ideas that might be useful during the development of storage slip system.

First my situation:

This is what the four chracters look like, that store my weapons, armor, and rare armor upgrade items.

1. Main Character, has aprox. 480 slots, with about 20 weapons, 200 armor and rest of it as rare/ex non transferable items and furinature.

2. Armor Character, has aprox. 220 slots, with about 200 armor items on it.

3. Weapon Character, has aprox. 150 slots, with about 80 weapon items on it.

4. Rare armor upgrade item Character, has aprox. 160 slots with about 127 items on it.

So basicly, I have around 500 armor and weapons I will need to store for all my 16 level 99 jobs currently, and the amount I need to store will probably increase to atleast 750 max slots.

I ask that when you do the storage slip system you keep a few things in mind when developing them. I have listed them below.

Concerns I have with storage slips:

1. The amount of time it will take to convert Weapons and Armor into storage slips and back to Weaons and Armor for each job change.

2. The space required for the storage slips. With 500-750 items needing storage, that would be too many slips for the current bags to hold if each slip takes up one space per every item.

3. The distance from point of job change to where you have to store or transfer storage slips or items for each job change. Also concerned about how many times currently we have to log out and in to transfer items from other characters to our main character for every job change. Each log out is 30 seconds each with the ability to only transfer 8 items at a time in the current delivery system.

Ideas I have:

1. The majority of my Weapons and Armor are marked (Rare) or (Rare/Ex), so something to store these would be great.

2. Most of my gear is used by level, such as for BCNM's, for level 75 cap limit content, and for level 99 content.

3. Would it be Possible to increase the amount of items we can transfer over to another character with storage slips or as actual weapons and armor.

4. Maybe a second deilvery system or a second moogle in our mog house for storage slip managment or transfering?
