Atma & Inventory full

:mad:
This is why it should be a key item.
So at the end of a fate it popped up unable to obtain item.
So i check my inventory to see if it was full, and due to the junk that drops from fates, it was. This was a low level fate so i dont think it had any rewards. The only thing this could of possibly been is the atma but due to that i didn't receive it. Any clarification on this?

You need to have space.... 12 of them at least... and extra space for the Junk you get... it's really bad. Hang in there bro

Thanks, it didn't take to long to get it afterwards, which was lucky, but this is a warning.
Make sure your inventory has space when atmaing. GL

WHAT!? i didn't know Atma went into your inventory. I thought that it was a key item since it was a quest item.

Man, this is the last straw. It is as clear as day that the people from square enix are shameless thieves. They release the paid service for extra retainers, and along with it they release 12 atmas, and 26 different types of prisms. They aren't even trying to hide the fact that they want to force us to buy retainers. Despicable.

It's a conspiracy!!111

Btw, they also don't stack. So if you get two of the same one they each take one inventory space each.

Also venture tokens take up inventory space, too.

I don't think I want to live on this planet anymore.

Hmmm I always wondered why the game told me "You have 3/2/1 spaces left in your inventory." in clean, easy to read text right across the middle of my screen. Go figure when they added this in 2.0 it was in preparation for Atma farming.

Sorry, but I laughed..

As someone who is crafting a lot my inventory usually only has one page or less of free space at a time. Once you start adding in a ton of low level drops and atams it gets to the point where I'm checking if I have the inventory space right before the FATE ends so I won't lose any drops.

It's not the worst thing in the world right now, but if I see a lot of other quests filling my inventory then I'm going to have to join the paid retainer conspiracy bandwagon.

It help if you sell all the low level potions you get from duty roulette before you start the atma farming

If you have no room to hold the items that you're farming (atma, in this case), what in the actual @#$% are you carrying in your bags that takes up all of your available space? The available inventory space in this game (100 personal, 350 between two retainers, and 300 for armory chest) is absolutely GIGANTIC at 750 spaces by default.

If you have no room, it's because you're hording useless junk. All those twigs rocks and marmot meat take up 0 space once you throw them on the ground.

I have to agree with this, you can't blame SE if your inventory is full and you lose a drop, it's your responsibility not theirs to make sure you have space. And I say that as someone with all crafting jobs at 50. Even then I still have at least 4 pages clear on my retainers (only have 2, didn't pay for extra) and at least 3/4 of a page free in my inventory.

A whole page is dedicated to ley items yet only the 1st to 2nd row will ever be filled.
So y can't atma be a "key" item
Cuz it's a unique and important item that will "unlock" your new atma wep.

Key items*

Sell your useless junk.

I have over 1,000,000 Gil just from selling stuff I don't need. If and when I ever decide to level my crafting jobs I'll have enough money to buy my way to 50 on all of them. Won't need the mats at all lol.

Ohh, no. Inventory management in an RPG. What has the world come to. ;p

And did you know you have to PUSH BUTTONS to make things happen in this game?! What is SE thinking?!?!?! LAZY DESIGN

Oh no! 26 different prisms! Cause you really need to carry around all 26 all the time! AND! You have to keep holding on the the gear you used to glamour!

Oh, wait.


If you have inventory problems with 2 retainers you are doing it wrong. I carry everything I need and am only 28/100, and my retainers are ~70/175 each.

yeah I've got to wonder... why is this even a complaint? there really isn't any reason to blame SE because your inventory is full of junk. not only do they give you a reminder when your inventory is getting full but you have a nice little inventory icon in the bottom right of the screen that shows you at all times how full your inventory is.

The problem is that the game should prompt you each time there is a drop. It should ask if you would like the item to go onto your inventory. Once you click ok, it should then ask "Are you sure?" At which point you can click ok again. That way you wont fill up your inventory with junk drops.

It is kinda silly how they expect you to always have room for, you know.. 12 atma. Most of us who craft/gather dont have that kind of room. The only upside to it going to your inventory is so that you can get more than 1 type of atma. But again, thats @ the cost of more room

what if you have full key items? the regular inventory is much larger and you cant get rid of key items unless you complete or abandon the related quest , the solution you propose is worse than what is currently there , you can even store earned atmas in retainer or sell/discard some stuff, cant be that hard , i got all 12 atmas and simple inventory management prevented me from losing a single one

This actually the first good argument I heard towards why Atma aren't key items. I haven't noticed how many key item spaces there are, but 12 atma could easily fill all of that up which would be a problem for other quests.

I too, am someone who suffers from poor inventory management. I always have and always will be through every RPG I have ever played. I realized just yesterday how much inventory space the retainers had and it blew my mind.

well actually i just checked and it says 1/100 so its not really a good argument , but the window shows only 25 slots so that was kinda misleading me

If you're having inventory problems, I feel bad for you son,
I got 99 problems but my drops ain't one.
Hit meh!

But yeah, I'm always scrambling to find room, but that's because I filled one retainer with crafting mats I will probably never use. Thankfully, last DoW/M will hit 50 and I can start clearing all the unsexy gear from one retainer for SB or sale. Inventory Management.... Human Resources.... Financial Accounting.... Business Intelligence.... I never realized SE's conspiracy is about making us manage all this stuff. Should probably throw this onto a resume somewhere.

Those corrupt bastards! They are probably using the money they make off retainers to fund terrorism! It's all a lie!

that sounds like a terrible idea. not just terrible but annoying... "would you like me to put this in your inventory?" "yes" "are you sure?" "yes." no thank you.

If this happened with every single drop, it would get really annoying really fast. But maybe if your inventory was full, then it prompted you - "Your inventory is full, would you like to make room for [item]?" then it would take you to your inventory screen and you could click on that stupid animal hide that you didn't know you were carrying around, drop it, and claim your Atma. Then go back to a summoning bell and clean up your inventory.

Shameless Thieves? Umadbro?

It would be nice if they had a 'treasure pool' like in FFXI. So if you actually got the drop but didn't have the space you could be like 'oh shiz, my inventory is full. I forgot I was carrying around some useless crap. Thanks SE!'

As opposed to going the unforgiving route.

This is what I was thinking, and I feel like it was there in 1.0. XI did it fine with having a loot pool when in a group or when your inventory was full. Of course, on XI I only had like 10 'open' inventory spaces with maxed out inventory after accounting for all the gear I was carrying around, so it was certainly more necessary.

lololol how annoying would it be if every time you killed a trash mob you got a notification?? I can just see it now.
DING!
Want these 2 animal skins?
DING!
Want this aldgoat horn?
DING!
Want 2 gil?
DING!
Want 8 diremite webs?
DING!
Want 4 Coeurl skins?

Horrible solution to a not problem.

The inventory does seem a bit small considering all the junk you can accumulate over a short period of time. I wish they would increase the inventory size, and also change atma's to key items. Also what was said earlier. A loot pool would be great.

there should be an option, that you can turn on, ..so when you reviece an item, and your inventory is already full, it will ask you if want to kick the new item or trade it with an item in the inventory..

but just not recieving such a key and seldom item, because the invetory got full after so much farming is still kind of cheapish..
