no armoire storage on the new garo gear?

where am I going to put all the pieces?

it's pretty insane to give us so many pieces on a limited time item and not letting us store it on an armoire

You'll have enough time to collect a full set of gear, and work towards the mounts!

The questreward for the 24 man raid doesnt go in it either. -_-
For the Garo event, if I want to get all the armor and keep it: I would have to rent a new retainer? Is this the purpose?
This is dumb SE, please fix this.

Thing is, from everything we've seen, Garo is a Collab, not an event. If the Collab had a duration to it then putting them into armoire would be justified however this appears to be content that is here to stay so that's the reason why you can't store it.

I think there was either a mistake in translation, they changed their minds or people assumed it was an "event" witha secondary option to obtain the gear for those who didn't want to do PVP. But considering that these pieces are what appear to be the best pvp gear you can obtain as of now, it seems more likely that this content is just a lot of busy work to keep those who want achivements to stay busy til 4.0. Lastly, if you look at the Battle-Wolve's Den Achievement list, the achievement to obtain the mounts is listed under that and not hidden/under the seasonal list which further suggest that this is content that is staying in the game.

most likely in a hot fix or patch couple of weeks after, as usual. I can't recall if we were able to store these items right on release day but I would be very surprised.

Previous event items have been immediately storable in the Armoire for a while now, since before the expansion I think.

given their recent track record (Fanfest and event items like the maid/butler sets) with items that should be never being added to the Armoire, I don't expect to see the Garo items being changed.

Which is utterly ridiculous since if you wanted to collect all the sets including accessories and both versions of the four gender-locked (WHY) sets, there are 99 items total.

That's because the Yokai Watch collaboration event was only around for a limited amount of time, and nearly all of the recently allowed armoire items have been things that aren't always obtainable.

There's no indication that the GARO gear is going away, therefore the gear can be obtained at any time.

Well, like it was said in other thread by Ibi: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post3997995

"The period in which you can do it will be longer than the Yokai Watch collaboration.."

It'd help if SE would come and clear the situation.

I knew this would be badly handled as soon as the details of the event were teased. I had no idea it would be this badly handled. All these items that will either consume 66% of a retainer's inventory or almost all of my character's. Really?
