Inn room Armoire

Can someone explain why the Armoire in the inn room is so stubborn and restricted?

We can put our class lvl 50 gear in there under Artifact that we get from our end job quests.
But we cant put our AF2 Gear in there we get from trading in myth, let alone darklight gear.

We can put all previous seasonal gear in there from stuff such as the Reindeer Gear but we cant put our santa/snowman gear in it.

We can put Achievement items we get from Achievements in there but we cant put in items from EX HARD modes in it.

Is there a reason why they haven't just allowed us to put any gear in it?

Frustratingly restrictive? Unnecessarily cumbersome? That's Squeenix for you.

kind of waiting for someone to come by and just say PS3 Restrictions.

kind of also confuses me that as to why we can give soul stones to our retainers and move them around like they are a piece of gear.

Think it has more to do with it being a "temporary" thing until housing and possible storage there.

The only items that can go in the armoire
Are those who cannot be reobtained by any means.

AF gear cannot be reacquired, ever.
Achievement items cannot be reacquired, ever.
Event items cannot be reacquired after their event is over.

That is the basic rule of the armoire

Event items cannot be reacquired after their event is over.
Santa and Snowman gear can not be placed in it

other then that what you said seems like the case.

You think they'd update the armoires for event items when the event is added, instead of waiting a month or two after the event to be able to store it.

I agree that the armoire needs a serious expansion of what can be stored in it. I'd like to store relic/zenith weapons. Other things like Primal or Darklight items would be nice too.

You'd think they'd have "borrowed" this system from FFXI: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Porter_Moogle, but I guess people would have complained about this becoming FFXI-2 or something. The way SE does thing is usually around every update they allow previous event items to be stored, otherwise, yeah it's pretty useless. Lots of people may be asleep so I doubt you'd get "PS3 limitations" from the people who always forget that FFXI is a PS2 game and does more than ARR does in some areas :x

New event items don't get allowed in until a later patch, ie Snowman and the Horse Kabutos. Snowman outfit will never be allowed in, because you CAN get it again. It's tradeable. You can stock up on them, give them to alts, whatever. So that will never be allowed in.

That presents an even stronger argument for not doing seasonal or special events. If they're going to give us gear that eats up or already tight storage on ourselves or retainers, why bother doing anything? What's the point if we wind up needing to trash event rewards?

While that true but it's also false as several items already able to be put in were able to be reaquired by recent events such as the reindeer suit and the dragon kabuto. I just don't see why they just cannot just expand the armoire as the events come.

The armoire is horrible. I have a stupid number of horse hats and other costumes wasting precious retainer space when they should be storeable in the darn armoire to begin with.

Plus seasonal events will come back and you just aquire them again. Good thing tho, neglected to get my santa and snowman.

from 1.0 and only obtainable from the job quests

you can sell myth gear (AF2 are still not ingame) and buy it later again with myth stones

Snowman gear would be able with 2.2
Santa costumes are obtainable in the market boards (and was crafted gear in 1.0)

You can sell the EX HARD modes items and later farm them again.

storage limitation I guess
There is no online game with unlimited storages

The armoire is only for items you can get once and never again. So you can put them out of the inventory without losing them forever (like if you sell them to a npc or drop them to get needed inventory slots free).

Only if summer evnts 2013 - summer event 2014 would not only be an exception to give players, who never played 1.0, also the chance to get the old event gears. I doubt that we get swimsuits next summer. It would be more only the yukata.

During 1.0, the events never gave old event gears.

I missed some pumpkin heads, some egg caps and 2 valentine chokers

I must say I have never touched the armoire. I just haul everything on the armoury chest.

They are also in 2.0 crafted in some way. Except that not a player craft now the old event gears, but a NPC if you give him the old event mats.

This is only for the Santa Suit and Usagi Kabutos. Those will never be storeable since they can be obtained again, plus they aren't unique nor untradeable. The new Event Items, ie the Snowman outfit and the new Kabutos(Uma/Snake) I have a theory about why you can't store them yet. As we know they patch it in later so you can store them. I bet(This is my theory, don't take it as fact) they want people to get them because they want them, not because they can just stash them away right away. So if you have a near full inventory, you'll make room if you want them.

Again, just a theory.

This image is very helpful. I've never seen a list of what can be put in the armoire.
