Rings?

I have a problem that hasn't been mentioned really at all yet..

Why do we not have inventory space for "Left" and "Right" ring slots? Every class can use two rings so why do we only have 25 slots for rings in our inventory? Just curious because I'm constantly having to switch rings between either my main inventory or my retainers. I would like to see this implemented sometime in the future. Thank you! ^^

Shoes! OMG, Shoes!

Kind of makes sense.

Kelly! :3 Ah, the young days of youtube....

If I had every i90 (or max ilvl for crafting/gathering) ring I think it's something like 5 myth rings, 5 allagan rings, 5 garuda rings, 2 for crafting, 2 for gathering...what else could you possibly have? Rings are one of my smallest armory slots.

I want left glove, right glove, left shoe, right shoe too!

because there are no right rings and left rings ingame, only rings which can be wear at both hands. Currently you can choose which hand get which ring. If they change the 1 ring category in 2 ring categories, the game start to decide which ring can be wear on which hand.
Or they change it like with the wrists and remove 1 ring slot (yes, the wrists had once 2 slots. And the rings had once 4 slots).

unless they implement in-game weddings ^_~

I think there was someone who once mentioned something about there being "one ring".

Yanno, "to rule them all" or some such.

I've yet to find it though. It would save a lot of armory space!

Eh, I personally also have a hard time managing rings leveling classes. As somebody pointed out, it's not an issue if you have everything at 50 and you change rings less frequently than other gear, but it's easy to lose control of rings and have to visit your retainer to change classes if you level several things at once.

I think with everything at lvl50, you come to about 14 rings you need (7 roles: crafter, gatherer, tank, healer, melee, caster, bard). I don't think it's a problem unless you have a lot of different classes at different level ranges and want to optimize equipment. Most of the time I didn't bother with proper accessories until lvl50. Though I'd always welcome more space. ^^

So many rings can be cross classed that it works out. Unless you are keeping dex rings, str rings, int rings, mnd rings, vit rings, cp rings and gp rings for multiple lvl ranges you should be fine. And if you are keeping that many rings the question is why? If you have drg at 30 and mnk at 1 why keep your lvl 30 rings if you are planning to lvl mnk but not just right now. Convert them and get more when your mnk is actually at lvl 30. With 50s across the board my accessories slots are the least filled. Having 50 slots just for rings at this point in the game I think is just overkill

Many didn't have the issue before. There are more ring options now than before, to include the class rings for battle, crafters and gatherers.

I talk about the class rings as they are specific and we could see more like them in the future instead of "casting, aiming, maiming, etc". Maybe even future AF related. "Valor Ring"

Just straight simple math.
This is no classes or jobs sharing rings. A single gear set for each one.
Battle jobs: 9 x 2 = 18
Crafting & Gathering Classes: 11 x 2 = 22
Total rings: 40
Total Armory ring slots: 25

All other gear slots, nothing shared Total: 20ea
Armory slots for the other gear slots: 25ea

5 spare armory slots available for all gear slots but ring.

I didn't add battle classes since most lvl30+ are on jobs.

So... Most classes have a pair that they share rings with. and at lvl 50, you would only need 2 rings for crafting, and 2 rings for gathering. 4 rings, not 22

the achievement rings are basically vanity. The only ones really useful are the gatherer rings for the durability loss reduction since you don't really need to meld gatherer gear so that's not the best argument out there.

And like Lynn said, you have 2 rings for crafting at 50 and even with the achievement rings that would make 4 for gathering which if you don't cross class a single ring (which you will do regardless if you want BiS) that still equals 24 rings which is 1 under the space we have currently.
