Inventory Interface, Management, and Additional View Options

Sorting by item level only? Um.. Can we have other options? lol

Sort by category first and item level later would be better

Thanks for the update but patch 2.1 is scheduled 3 months from now. That's way too long a time to have to live with the current inventory management nightmare :\

Pleaseeeeee can you appeal to the devs to patch inventory sorting sometime before?

I echo the other comments about crafting from a retainer directly (the system used in GW2 and Star Wars The Old Republic) and I don't mind waiting a little longer for that but please get minimally inventory sort in earlier....

Sorting by level will do.. not much good at all. As a Legacy player that is a meaningless sort function. And in a few weeks would be meaningless to a lot of new players. The problem with inventory is not gear or weapons as they are quickly sorted out by the armoury chest. The armoury chest idea needs to be expanded to items other than gear. Farmed drops, gathered items, crafted items, consumables, this is where the inventory mess comes from.


1. Use of Armoury Chest Design for items other than gear

The basic inventory and retainer system needs to be presented in a more visually appealing way. Perhaps use the Armoury Chest design for Inventory and Retainers.

I would really like to permanently set out where different items go. I'd like a tab for branches, a tab for logs, with an icon to the side so I can easily/visually know where everything is.

An added benefit of this should be that the "move items to armoury chest" would now also move farmed drops to the relevant tabs in a click

Over time, the current inventory and retainer system will end up a frustrating confused mess.


2. Inventory/Retainer Tabs should function like backpacks/satchels in earlier MMOs

We should be able to detach our numbered inventory tabs and numbered retainer tabs freely swapping them around. Say I have 4 tabs on my retainer for crafting but my 4 tabs on my character are full of guild event items like potions and food etc. If I feel like crafting I should be able to swap out my inventory tabs and bring my retainer tabs to my character. That way we can move things as tabs rather than individually. Although I would say more modern MMOs would allow crafting with full access to all storage at the same time like SWTOR

We need list view. I can't tell you how many times I've hovered over the mess of my retainer's inventory looking for the difference between dodo eggs, chicken eggs, and iron ore.

I want a freaking list . How hard is it to find something by hovering over every single item . I cant make the difference between 10 different logs

Some indication that an item is being used in a gear list would help, sold items only to change class and be topless.

This Idea is utter genius... I love the idea of being restricted to how many tabs you can run around with, and be able to drag n drop tabs between yourself and retainer. Oc course we'd need the ability to name our tabs...

Which leaves us wondering when we can expect 2.1 ?

If its 3 months this is waaaaayyyy too long to wait, we need it before then if possible, its driving almost everyone insane. (A tiny patch just for inventory sort would be appreciated)

Not sure why you would leave such an important feature out, especially considering how 1.0 players complained for this feature to be added.

As other also mentioned, sorting by ilvl is not enough, it needs to sort by item type, Bone, Lumber, Reagents etc, and do this across both personal inventory and retainer inventory. (ya know just like in 1.0)

I would also like suggested above like more management control about which items go into which bags, and tabs on my retainer.

Love the idea of crafting from the retainers inventory directly (even if this means having to craft in your house)

Here's an idea, take the exact same auto-sort priority settings from FFXI Windower and work based on that.
