I have three retainers (2+1 purchased), and I'm trying to organize them by mats required per class. I'm spending way too much time figuring out which job uses what during crafting leveling, and my mats stash is quite large. I've found some sites where I can enter, say, "Beatskin Blood", and it will show me which items use it, but it's a grind to click each one and figure out which class makes it.
XIVDB lists the classes & levels of the recipes that use something on the "Crafts Into" tab. e.g., Beastkin Blood. The Lodestone's database lists the classes right on the item page.
I don't know of any others that make it any easier.
Have you tried This one? This one was really liberating to me, because I had some similar issues. Mainly trying to breakdown to the base stuff i needed to collect to make SB gear and such.
You guys rock. This is going to take some time to organize, but man, what a huge help!
I have 1 culinary retainer, 1 retainer with stone + reagents, And leather + cloth. Reagent are used by every class so split them up how you will
I have one with all my equipment for glamours (yes, that takes a full retainer for me <_< I want the equipment guide, and the ability to glamour from it!), one with all my crafting items that are not used for food, and one with all my materia/demimateria/food ingredients/random housing stuff/important stuff (Sands of Time, Bloodstained Mark Logs, Atmas, Thavnarian Mist, Superior Enchanted Ink, etc).
