Odin mantle

so if you get a silver on Odin and have a full inventory, you lose your mantle? feels like there should be something like in WoW where you get mailed the item you were unable to carry at the moment

Edit I think your right, upon getting the mantle you loose it permanently if your inventory is full. This needs changed

Yes this as been a concern for alot of players, i'm pretty sure SE are aware of it.

They are, and they answered this along the lines of;

"You receive a warning as your last 3 slots are being used, if you drop it 'tough-luck' there's a ton of warning, same as crafting".

In FFXI you didn't even get a warning that your inventory was almost full.

well 1.0 had a great loot list bag where you could a) decide what you even wanted dropping into your inventory, and b) could quickly get rid of $hit to make room for new items. i miss this!

Inventory management is a game unto itself.

As an aside, wouldn't it be really cool if we had a Resident Evil 4-style inventory? *crickets chirp*

You can also have your inventory slots displayed on your hud.

We have our inventory slots to do with them as we like as well as have a small overview of free space in the HUD and there's the armoury for gear (only). We need a safety net +1 ? It could be like in 1.0 (which often times made people lazy to manage their inventories in general + there once were bazaars for +++ lazy storage) or we could just pay more attention before battles we, now, tend to rush in without a single worry in the world. I've yet to lose a single item, even the worthless random lv1 mat drop from mobs o_O

With all due respect, you had a treasure pool that opened up in FFXI if your inventory was full, even if it was solo, and you were killing mobs with a full inventory. You never simply just 'lost' an item even in that game.

As someone with gear for every class/job, with extra gear on hand to level into, and with all DoH maxed while keeping a rather large stock of items to craft/sell, I feel it's safe to say that people with inventory issues just simply aren't even trying to manage their inventory properly.

I lost plenty, but you didn't read what I said; "There was no warning"

You still could still regardless of the 5 minute treasure pool, forget that your inventory was full and it would drop to the floor, especially if you were in a party.

I've saved my bacon in ARR a few times now with the "3 inventory slots remaining" coming up.

It all comes down to self-responsibility really and the regret helps re-enforce that later on.

How about more tab windows? You think 4 is gonna cut it?

I'm sure that even with 10 inventory tabs someone would still lose an item due to full inventory >.>

The capacity of your inventory is shown on screen at all times. You really have no excuse if you didn't make room. You should think to do that before even running out to odin if your inv is always full.
