Universal tools used up on accident

I think i'd still buy shihei even if that were the case. They go fast, even more so if you have 5 (7 if you count ichi and ni) other spells dedicated to one tool packet type. If you have any job that is subbing ninja you'd have to buy them anyway. 2 birds one stone kinda thing.

I would like to see them craft-able soon, NPC prices will get out of control at this rate.

I agree some form of notification would be convenient. I think the easiest way would be a one-time notification that you don't have the original tool that only reappears after zoning would be a good option and probably easy to implement. In the end, they aren't that much more expensive than shihei (like 7k or something irrelevant), so it's not the end of the world, but can easily be avoided by rationing them out of your satchel/sack when needed.

stack of shihei toolbags on ragnarok's AH = 100k

stack of shihei toolbags from the npc= 240k

I can easily go through half or more in a day if on nin, so ya def prefer shihei

How about make a Key Item quest available to AF level NIN's that would give them an extra bag to keep tools in.

Or make them like Automaton Attachments... trade them to NPC, and use at will.

Paying attention would seem to be the best solution in my opinion....

Or they could make the universal tools cheaper so you don't need shihei. Then make the universal tools craftable so WWs don't have a nervous breakdown.

I'm not sure the universal tools are intended to completely render normal tools obsolete; only to be an option for those with more money than inventory space.
