Can your inventory be increased ?

can this be done and if you store items for crafting in your retainers inventory can you use it no matter where you are,Cause I'm concentrating on crafting only at the moment and I use miner and botanist to gather enough of the materials and ran out of space fast and can't continue crafting cause i exceeded my max inventory 4 which is too low for all that you need to do in the gathering and crafting category.can someone answer this if you know if not don't,please and thank you.

There's currently no way to increase your personal inventory. You're limited to two retainers total and they can only be accessed at the summoning bells inside the main cities.

You can't get more space but are you using all you have ?

You have 2 retainers. Are you using all the storage space in both. There's about 80 - 100 spaces in each. Not to mention 20 sale spaces in rach. Even if you're keeping stuff, just put them up for really high prices and its essentially more storage. And then theres your own inventory. And you can keep the weapons in your armory chest instead of the inventory.

Loads of room for all your bits and bobs. It can get crowded if you're doing a few crafting classes at once.

I don't mean that sir,thats not the answer i'm looking for

It is not possible to increase your inventory space.

It is not possible to craft with materials that are not in your inventory.

What other answer are you looking for?

You just need to learn to manage your inventory better. Find something to do with the items you craft, preferably turning them in for guildleves or grand company, so that they don't clutter your inventory. Plan out what you're going to make in advance (Hey, remember those guildleves and GC supply missions?) and head out to gather materials specifically for those items. Only keep on hand the items you need. Everything else, either put it on your retainer if it's something you use often, or sell it if you don't. You can always get it again. I've been doing quite a heap of crafting myself lately, and I usually have less than half my inventory full.

My inventory would increase 14 slots if SE would let certain seasonal gear be put in the Armoir.

Dream Hat
Snowman Head
Dream Tunic
Snowman Suit
Snowman Mitts
Dream Boots
Black Usagi Kabuto
Silver Usagi Kabuto
Usagi Kabuto
Uma Kabuto
Golden Uma Kabuto
Black Uma Kabuto
Crimson Uma Kabuto
Silver Snake Kabuto

...how does that help this matter at all? Those should be in your armoury chest, and not taking up the same inventory as your ingredients. That said, they'll likely be adding those to the armoire (minus the dream equipment, as it's one of the old old old old old old old seasonal items that are tradeable) in the next patch.

You cannot access your retainer's inventory unless you go to a retainer bell to call them because the retainer is the inventory holder, it is not something your character can carry with him or access remotely without first calling the retainer.

There are retainer bells in the inn rooms that are located within the three main cities adventurer's guild, in the main cities near the markets[retainer npc counter] and in the future there will be ways to put retainer bells in FC housing. There is currently no other way to access the retainer inventory :example: when you are not at a retainer bell or when you are elsewhere away from a retainer bell or when you are free roaming.

It helps because not everyone has the perfect inventory. Sure maybe someone gathered too many items. Instead of selling them off to an NPC vendors it may take a while to clear them through the Market Board to try to make a little more money. Like cooking. I know I will do that last so I am selling off my cooking materials.

Add in different levels of DoW, DoM, DotH, DotL, where maybe you can't share equipment because the levels are too far apart, then you have multiple gear sets.

So, yes, until the crafters are the same level and can share the same gear, gatherers at the same level and share the same gear, melee dps, caster dps, heals, tanks, are all the same level as they are leveling up to share the same gear, we can indeed have an overflowing armory. SE releasing these items without letting us throw them into the armoire certainly does not help.

Even if you share absolutely no items at all between all classes, you'll have enough room to store the new kabutos and snowman head. I forgot to mention that the usagi kabutos are ALSO one of those ancient tradeable seasonal items, and thus won't be storable. Best put them on a retainer!

Also, there's a reason I stress making things that are used in guildleves or GC supply/provision missions. Rather than selling to an NPC for piss-poor money, or selling on the boards and risking having it not sell at all, you can get bonus xp, other rewards, and achievement progress! Hooray!

Guess we will agree to disagree. 20 jobs + 2 Christmas hats + 8 kabutos = 30 pieces of headgear. You only have 25 in armoury. Obviously excluding those you can put in armoire.

What you suggest is fine when you plan ahead, and only gather what you need to make. There are also achievements in making and using material, which means some gear you make sticks around a while and not simply handed in. Once you are already overloaded, things are a bit harder. Exactly why I am selling my cooking only materials. Not finished crafted items, the base materials. You can't turn those in, you either use in crafting, sell to NPC, or sell on market board. I saved a lot of materials because I know I will eventually craft. And gear sets because I think they look neat. I will not undercut everyone on the market board just to dump the mats, nor will I sell to NPC, nor will I craft in cooking just to use it. So cooking mats are being sold off at a slow rate.

I have not even included people that may want to save their Philo, Myth, CT, or other gear sets for RP or other purposes. Things can be quite a juggle when you are already overloaded. Sure, if you plan ahead, only gather what you will immediately craft, only turn into leves or GC, then you are right no inventory problems. Not so easy when you let yourself get full and you don't want to just basically give away mats to an NPC.

I was only counting the hats that would ACTUALLY go into the armoire. The dream hats and usagi kabutos will never go in the armoire, unless they change their policy on what goes there, and are also technically not new items (They came out in 1.0, as did the dragon kabutos and reindeer costume). Your only option is to put them on a retainer if you don't want to have them on hand.

A lot of my advice is to make use of your retainer, and only keep things on hand that you actually expect to use in the immediate future. So, the gear for all 20 jobs, maybe one or two vanity sets, any food or other consumables you use, dark matter for repairs, and materials you intend to use for crafting currently. I am actually one of those people who collects oodles of old gear (Mostly dungeon drops), and retainers do give you plenty of room for that.

Honestly, the biggest thing you need to learn is to let go. Sometimes, it's worth it just to NPC something especially if it never sells on the market boards. Consider whether the hassle of having it in your inventory is a bigger issue than just getting it again. That stack of mythril ore on my retainer? Probably gonna keep it, I use it a lot. That single piece of maple lumber? I can get another if I really need it.

No, that's the big issue indeed. Did you ever notice that following the Murphy's law the items you let go are the ones that can only be bought back in batches of 99? We never know when we will need that single maple lumber or whatever. It takes a lot of time to memorize what's junk and what's not. And don't forget that we can have two types for each item, since HQ and normal don't stack together.


Also what's the point about selling the gear to GC? To get 100-200 seals? Please. Some gear is either good looking or with good stats. Not to mention all the things we can get now, and more in the future, from advanced raids. Plus the seasonal events stuff. The place for the Christmas suits is the Armoire, not the retailer. There is simply no space. Try to raise a culinarian and a blacksmith having 5 or 6 fighting jobs at the same time and see

See, if you always hold on to every item "just in case" then of course you will have inventory issues. For me, I get rid of that single piece of maple lumber because I can buy it cheap from an NPC, or go out and gather it myself. I do tend to keep items I can't obtain easily (Mostly monster drops like leather and sinew), even in small quantities.

As for selling gear to the GC, that's because it's one of the few ways to get rid of dungeon drops and get something useful in return. If the stats are useful, fine, keep it on hand as part of your set. If you like the look, keep it on hand as a vanity set. I actually keep a LOT of dungeon items myself. Just understand that you're making a choice. If you find yourself with no inventory because you've kept every last drop from every dungeon you've ever done, that's not SE's fault. It's yours.

Also, FYI, I am currently leveling all 8 crafting classes, including culinarian and blacksmith, as well as having gear sets for all 9 jobs. So, yeah, I kinda am doing that, and I see I can still manage my inventory.

(Oh, and HEC, turning in dungeon drops only gives seals. It doesn't add progress to the achievements)

Thank you sir your answer was the one i was looking for thanks again your advice is sure to help me manage my inventory

We need more than 2 retainers.
