Indeed, but he was asking about the glamor crystals while referencing the repair materials to frame the question.

The inventory system really is getting insane and should be a high priority for the dev team. Increased space isn't a solution at this point as much as an overdue correction for the addition of new jobs. It should have been done for rings at the very least with 3.0, expanded armor chest space is honestly 2 years late to the game.

OP's suggestions are all good, but imo some of them are absolutely essential and should be singled out.

1. Currencies and tokens going to the currency tab or a unique storage like crystals currently do. I understand that there's a lot of tokens now and hoarding is a problem, but every duty and weekly quest contributes to the problem and it just blows up too fast without some kind of fix.

2. A glamour book. It needn't be accessible everywhere, even in just inn rooms at first is fine, but when F2P MMOs can do this it's very disappointing to get lame excuses about how we have to buy storage space on top of our subscription.

3. A fishing box. Fishing is a disaster for inventory. Culinarian is almost as bad, but housing made culinarian much more bearable since we can craft next to a basic material seller and our retainers now making cooking less inconvenient

The other changes would also be nice, but it's less of a problem as long as we get the fixes above.

I'm not sure if it's been suggested or not, but perhaps it would be a viable short-term fix to create NPC's that sell ALL ARR and HW mats. This would at least mean crafters need not hoard materials outside of those for the current expansion. It would be relatively easy to implement and have none of the drawbacks SE seems to be worried about regarding the other suggested(and better) solutions.

I could see how they wouldn't want to do that since making at least some old mats relevant in the economy keeps old zones alive for BLM bots farming.

Yoshida does not seem to see glamour as a big deal. BUT then they keep adding more and more glamour rewards for the events, more glamour-only items for crafters and more glamour items in the shop. LOL!

Gonna promote the retainer rental services.

Also to add they should have and long overdo, allowed maps to be stacked (and other items) but i have a good source that says they are not.

I can see that too, however, something has to give in this case. I was merely suggesting an easy out for Square, but I doubt they will take it.

But, we've only got a single grade now.

Ah, that means i can dump all the old graded ones. Yay! more storage!
