Should get your nose checked, since XIV isn't a F2P or B2W MMO >.>

honestly to me the problem with inventory is we get too much junk dumped on us. There are a lot of things enemies drop that don't even have a use anymore.

Getting rid of the +2/3 items was a good start but I still get bogged down with crap too often.

legacy accounts can get free characters and we'll have a mail box looks like im getting 40 mules 2.0 since there cutting inventory down per character.

the end all solution

DONT BE A GOD DAMN PACK RAT

Cash shop is a matter of time. Both Yoshida and Wada already said at interviews they will add microtransation system (cash shop) to FFXIV so yep, F2P/cash shop approach might be the one used here. It prolly won't be as heavy as at F2P games, but it still will happen.

every mmo p2p or f2p all have cash shops(and i do mean EVERY mmo)

people just tend to ignore that fact


f2p ones are the ones who have the REALLY obvious ones with hundreds of things though

I know I can sell items from my retainer, create another character, trade gil to a friendly player, receive gil from the friendly player on my other character, buy the item for 1 gil off my retainer, then click that item and offer to buy it for 1 gil on my extra character's retainer, then relog, then go to that retainer in another city's wards, unload my inventory on it x10, relog, and repeat the process all over again until I've transfered what I want to transfer. Just typing that makes me want to kill myself. I don't know if I can go through with it. I feel like I'd be paying Square Enix $3 for making me quit the game in frustration.

My retainers are 150/150 with 10 items in bazaar. I am 199/200. I have a lot of gear from AF, alternate sets, rings for every occassion, food for my 3 main jobs, dark matter, some moogle unmarked keystones, and a quest item in my main inventory, along with about 20 slots filled from farming on Botanist.

On my retainers I have gear waiting to be sold, crafting mats for wvr, ltw, seasonal items that can't be stored, and stacks of items gathered in mining and botany, along with items like keeper's hymn, primal totems, primal stones, primal seals, beastcoins, and maybe about 50-60 materia from spiritbonding, and other items gained from farming in various stack sizes. A lot of it has piled up because the wards menus are so slow most of the time I don't bother with it every day because if I were to do so I would want to throw my computer off a very tall building and watch with delight as it exploded on the pavement below.

Is there anything else? Some little trick anyone has learned? No, I can't dual box.

Since you are from my server, I advise giving me some stuff so I can triple meld :)

Maybe stop hoarding so much?

I would take one day and dedicate it to sorting all of your items.

What I did to help me (because I'm a pack rat), was I made my 2 retainers, one of them is dedicated to holding ONLY gear, while the other is dedicated to holding ONLY items.

Then I think "What am I leveling right now?"

I am currently leveling armorer and warrior. Therefor, Any gear item that I do not need (such as mage gear) is either:

- Repaired and sold from my gear retainer, or

- Is stored on my gear retainer for a future use, or

- Is NPC'd if it's low level crap that I can just make or buy again later.

- Seasonal gear is usually stored on my gear retainer, unless I'm feeling particularly goof that day. Because you can always go back and get it.

- Because I have 3 jobs at level 50, I also keep the gear that they wear on my personal inventory. But I plan to repair my drg af and store it in my inn thingy.

As for Items:

- any crap item such as moko grass or food ingredients are immediately npc'd. (If I have large stacks of something, I'll usually check the market wards for that item first just to be safe.

- Or, if I have plans for the items, I'll store whatever my armorer wont be using on my Item retainer.

- Items that my armorer uses is kept in my personal inventory should my desire to craft arises.

- Or, I'll sell whatever I don't need for armorer or a crafting job I plan to level in the future.

- If a linkshell member is crafting something else, and needs what I don't currently need but have, I'll either give it to them free of charge, or at a discounted price. Because I love my ls mates.

Hope that helps if even a little.

One little thing I would like to mention. We are actually given a lot of inventory space, but as stated before, it's the drop rate of crap items that seems to be a problem. I'm just glad it's not like XI where you had to basically buy expansions on your inventory which I was only able to max out at around 85 slots. (I think it got bigger, but it's been a rather long time since I've played).

Oh, you'll only be able to have 7 mules, because although they did say you'll be able to have a total of 40 characters. It's limited to 8 characters per server. So you'll have your main + 7 mules ;p
