WHAT AM I WEARING?!

This by far is the most frustrating feature of the game and if it's just something obvious that I'm missing please help me to look for the visual ques that I am not seeing.

When throwing away/selling/trading with a retainer a piece of equipment I can't tell which are assigned to one of my many equipment sets. Does it say somewhere on the info screen if the item is part of a set or not?

I don't see any icon on the gear to tell if it's in use for some class that I'm not currently equipped as.

I'm sick and tired of the entire set becoming broken if only one item is not in my inventory. I tried to keep as much stuff on me as possible to just avoid the issue but now I just have so much stuff that I need to get rid of the extra weight.

Do I literally need to write down every piece of gear that I'm wearing before clearing inventory space or is there some trick to this that I'm just too dumb to see?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

I have the same problem. idk how many pieces of gear i have vendored/retainered/or melded not knowing i was actually using it....LOL

As far as I know, this is what you have to do.

Fixed in 2.1

Definitely needs some kind of notification of items currently equipped in a saved gear set.
I swapped over to my Dragoon to do a fate and she had no pants on! Crafting professions is worse.

Sadly, there is not any sort of visual cue that tells you what piece of armor belongs to a set.
The best you can do is "Display Set" to show you what gear is assigned to a certain gear set, but even then that doesn't help too much :/

Agreed this is an issue and I believe a dev addressed it and said they would be adding some way to tell if an item is part of an equipped set or not. Theres nothing worse than leveling a class for a little while then get busy with something else for a week or 2 then go back to that class only to realize you no longer have all of your gear.

Thought this was going to be about subligars. Either way, I agree - What the heck?

Stuff that I'm using in a set is in my inventory. Stuff that I'm not using is my inventory or retainer. I'm not really sure what the problem is...?

Honestly, I have all my gear sets memorized... but at the same time, my gear sets are categorized, so it's not that hard to remember them: White Mage DL, White Mage AF, Dragoon DL, Dragoon AF, Warrior DL, Warrior AF, etc., etc...

Hell i clicked on it thinking he took a picture of it... damn.. no laugh for me today.

Is this going to be fixed for 2.1 really or was that just a joke of some kind?
Also I love subligars IRL and in XIV so there.

Here's a dev post from 10-29-13:

(Keep in mind that this isn't everything! Only what I can share as of right now. :) )

• Patch 2.1
  • Focus targeting
    We'll be changing the focus target feature so that its display is set at the highest priority and also improving the visibility of the casting bar. At the same time we will also be expanding the areas you can click!
    
    
  • Teleport window
    We'll be making adjustments to the teleport window so that it does not go off the screen (mainly PS3 version). Moving forward we will continue to improve the teleport UI to make it easier to see.
  
  
• Post-patch 2.1
  • Mog letters
    We'll be adding a history section for sent letters in the Mog Letter window.
    
    
  • Gear sets
    We'll be adding an icon to equipment that is included in a gear set to make it easier to distinguish.
    
    
  • Chat window
    We'll be making it so you can change the name of a chat log tab without having to delete it.

You could look at the spirit bond percentage. That's what I do... If I have been using it, then it has begun binding to me. Simple.

What I do is pieces of gear that i'm actually using I leave them in the armory chest and the pieces that i'm not longer using I put it in the inventory.

Sadly after 2.1

Wish it would come sooner, or at least a notification that it's used in one set. There's been a few times I left a class untouched for a while, only to find myself half naked when I switch to it again because I converted some of the gear thinking they were useless.

I've never actually needed such icon, I just know what's used in of my gear sets and what's not. But then again I have a crazy ability to memorize things I've seen or done only once, especially if I write or type them out. For example, I have hundreds of usernames and passwords from work memorized.

I'll admit, I'm antsy for this one. Especially as a Roleplayer there are sets that I use that are not part of my combat gear, I typically try to sort out my 'used' gear in my Armory Chest so that they're distinguished away from the others, and I don't accidentally sell them. But I am most defiantly looking forward to this feature.

Along with vanity slots. >.>

I move anything I want to sell or convert into my inventory first and then run down the gear set list and see if it appears as missing. I do like how the management system will tell you if it's had to replace a piece of gear with something that's a different colour.
