- from the "hand over" window, don't press A (X on PS4) on the requested item's icon to navigate inventory, instead press X (square on PS4) to open a popup with only the relevant item(s) displayed, and select that, no navigation required.

this works for every situation where you need to hand over something and functions like selecting a weapon or piece of gear as an ingredient for some crafting recipes that use finished items as ingredients

I thought others might enjoy the tip :) it's a big time saver

You can also click on those icons as a mouse user to save searching your bags.

Can we please have the ability to save our usernames/passwords inside the launcher in addition to having SMS verification to add a trusted device? I know we have authentication tokens but I hate having to enter token's passwords each time when Blizzard/NCSoft allow you to trust a device and typically not ask for those things again.

Ah, i see, been crafting since beta and never thought this was a problem, never bothered me lol

Please, please, please, please can you change AST cards/royal road buff so that weaker cards do not overwrite stronger cards.

For example: Expanded royal road buffs do not overwrite Enhanced royal road buff or even a standard card buff.

Before anyone posts that you dont have 2 AST in the same raid, this is nothing to do with alex or coil, there are still plenty of other 8 man content which this effects.

I have some quality of life improvement information I would like to share with you all.

To improve teleport, we're planning to implement a feature, similar to the crafting log favorites, which will display a list of your destination history, as well as a feature to add specific destinations as a static element to this list.

If you have any other great suggestions, be sure to send it over! :D

Allow us an option to display the group horizontally rather than just vertically. I cannot find a comfortable way to lay out my screen with a horizontal group window to be able to see my group and my target while healing.

Hey everyone,

More quality-of-life adjustments are coming our way.

Planned for Patch 3.2

• Duty Finder/Party Finder improvements
  It will be possible to check if there are any existing Party Finder groups within your World for the corresponding Duty Roulette, Dungeon, or Trial you are aiming to undertake when opening the Duty Finder. By using this feature, it will help match up players on the same World who have the same objectives.
  
  
• Materia Melding
  If you have the necessary class and level for a materia meld, you will be able to perform the meld without switching classes, similar to how this is possible for repairing gear.
  
  
• Retainers
  It will be possible to assign jobs for your retainers, which means you'll finally be able to have a dark knight retainer if you wish!
  
  
• Housing
  Players will be able to preview furnishings as well as dyes before actually applying to them. Please note, however, that you will not be able to change the dye from furnishings which are destroyed upon removal at this time, so please use the preview feature to get a feel for the dye before placing them.
  
  
• Beast Tribe quest adjustments
  It will be possible to obtain some Allagan tomestones when completing Vanu Vanu beast tribe quests.
  
  
• Venture Scrips
  It will be possible to purchase Venture Scrips with Centurio Seals similar to how you can purchase them with Allied Seals.

Future possibilities

• Further beast tribe quest adjustments
  A majority of players are currently choosing the beast tribe token as their reward for beast tribe quests instead of Venture Scrips. Therefore, we're considering to remove Venture Scrips from the available rewards so players can obtain the tokens easily and add Venture Scrips to the list of available items that you can purchase from the vendor using tokens instead.
  
  
• Anima Weapon Replicas
  I'm sure some of you would like to obtain replicas for the completed stages of your Anima weapons, so we are currently considering to add this feature similar to Zodiac weapon replicas.
  
  
• Fishing
  We'll be looking into whether it would be possible to retain the information on which fish you have released, so players can stop fishing to consume food items, or use Cordials to restore GP without having to go through the release process again. However, we can't make any promises that this will be implemented for sure.
  
  Furthermore, we are looking to see if we can reduce the GP cost for the ability Chum, so players can use this ability more often.

Huzzah! As a SCH main with a lot of leftover healing gear, being forced to have a caster retainer was frustrating.

Being locked into a paint color for such furnishings sounds pretty bad, but it also sounds like a temporary issue. Then again, couldn't the whole issue be avoided if items being demolished upon removal was abolished altogether? What positive impact does that function have on the game that it's worth all the headaches it causes the players?

It's not a real issue because, as far as I know, none of those furnishings can be painted.

I think the only "benefit" of that system to begin with is that you can't trade them with FC members or people who share your house. Theoretically this keeps furnishings like that in demand, but in practice people don't buy that much furniture regularly as it is. Especially not stuff they can't ever put back into storage.

I still remember the taste of my tears as I destroyed a complete set of handcrafted Allagan furniture when I switched FCs... I've replaced some of it, but don't want to invest in furniture like that again if I can't use them to redecorate seasonally.

Manor Couch. I took it as a hint that further ones might be on the way, though.

Tell me about it. I have a bunch stashed behind a wall just because I don't have a place for them at the moment.

Armoire. I actually broke one when I wanted to dye the one that was placed and clicked too fast :(
