Armoury Chest Suggestion: Class separation tabs

I think it would be very beneficial for organization if we could have Class tabs in our Armoury Chests. What this means is that armor, weapons, etc would have tabs within our armoury chest with their own storage units.

The items could be separated in terms of Class [Disciple of War, Disciple of Magic, Disciple of Hand, and Disciple of Land]

Example:

The reason I think this could be a good idea is because organization is difficult when you are leveling multiple classes. I find it difficult to find crafting armor when its mixed up with varying levels of gathering and other class armors.

If it would be too difficult to create so many extra storage units, then another thing they could do is keep the tabs from my example, so that when you click on one it will darken the items that don't apply to that category so that you can find the armor you need quicker.

Any thoughts?

I concur and support this suggestion infinite%!!!

Absolutely, support 100%

yep 100% agree

Yes, definitely.

It's frustrating because even if you go through the trouble to organize your armoury equipment, changing classes just causes the game to mix them up again.

I demand a dev look at this and get this idea into the game immediately!!!!

Seriously, this is brilliant. Well done.

I would find myself greatly appreciating a Heavy Armor section as well, not totally needed though. Great idea!

As if no one has thought of this before? This game SERIOUSLY needs it. I've been thinking of it since beta but i'm too lazy to post. Also they are probably saving it for a fix later down the line.

One extra edition OP if you would like to add it to the OP. They need to add an icon to pieces of gear that is equiped on other classes.

I.E. I am playing my level 50 DRG amd am clearimg out my invent but i can't isentofy what is equiped on my lvl 19 miner and my lvl 23 THM. Just add a small icon to equipped gear pls

Brilliant! I'm all for this :D

I'm sure the changes they are making to the interface will cover most concerns by 2.1. We'll have to wait and see what it looks like, but rest easy knowing SE is fully aware of how cumbersome it is. It's one of those things that will be hashed out in the near future you can bet on that. Armory chest is really a new feature technically, they only had it added in I think around P3, so they know it needs work. I know the UI guy has made a number of posts about what they are currently planning. I know it isn't the end result of what we all want, but it is a good start. I really do think this idea should be implimented it would make things very easy to organize. Either that or they need to give each gear icon a color based on what class type it is meant for. That might not work too well with the colorblind community but it would be neat.

Signing as my Armoury Chest is full 24/7 because I just like to switch to most of my classes on the fly.
Granted if you have everything at level 50, you won't have that problem anymore but let's just say the majority is still far away from that ^^;

Would also be nice if there was some marker that showed the particular gear was part of a set so, I know stupid me, doesn't sell something and when I go to put on that set it tells me I'm missing a piece of it lol.

Tabs would be awesome. Right now I am trying to separate stuff by lumping it into different corners. :P

As someone who plans to eventually have every job at 50 so I can change freely between them to suit my situation or mood, I would greatly appreciate this

I'm 100% behind this as well. Such a pain in the butt having to sort or hover your mouse.

Agreed, with all 'All Classes' gears showing up in all tabs.

Oooh, I like this idea!!

+1 from me as well, the lack of organization that results from swapping classes on the fly is driving me nuts, and just sorting them by type of class will hopefully keep me sane longer.

All Classes really needs to only show up in DoM/DoL/DoH, since they are never for DoW (sort them the same way items for 'Need' are sorted in dungeons)

Could have sworn I read a dev post about exactly this a few weeks ago, and thats its being planned for 2.1, maybe later...

This is a great idea!

Having spent at least 45 minutes this afternoon, sorting and re-sorting my gear so that it was in level order, I wholeheartedly support this idea. Brilliant, OP. Thanks.

Oh, and the sad part about the time I spent today? Within minutes, the order was wrecked by swapping out classes. Highly frustrating.

I totally agree with this suggestion.

I had suggested a very similar thing previously, hopefully though this time it gets some more traction as it is a needed update to at least get some organization happening with the armory chest.

I'd still like to see a Misc tab as well considering SE is giving us an ever growing list of event/vanity gear to manage.

At the moment there is no order at all to the armory chest and I hope SE add some functionality to it in the future.

Great idea!
Now quick, someone translate it into JP and post it on their forum so the devs can get to work on it!

Funny, I could have sworn we had a system very much like this in 1.xx....

I support this suggestion 100%
However, this is something the Devs should have thought of on their own or just KEPT from 1.xx.
Why they felt it was necessary to toss out all the "good" ideas in their previous version, for a new system that does not work nearly as well, is beyond me.

Everyone knows we need this. hopefully they add it soon to the game.

Love it, there is so little room to keep everything I need for my crafting and gathering classes and normal fighting classes.

And a seperate tab for fish-bait rather than using the inventory please.

And or a fish-pouch, fishing makes inventory space a living hell!
