Please for the love of god, fix the Expert Delivery UI

When doing Expert delivery for the Grand Company, you are presented with a linear list sorted by I-level (and some other thing unknown to normal people - probably some hidden item number known only to developers - alphabetical would be better for human players - just sayin'). You MUST click an item to deliver it. You can't just drag and drop from your inventory into the list. AND the list includes each and every item you are carrying that could possibly be delivered, including those that are in your inventory, are part of a gear set, etc.

I have exactly 100 pieces on that list. I've got all DoH and DoL outfitted in top gear - each of those items appears. I have multiple jobs in DL or lower EX gear. All of those items are listed also. It is so frustrating to have to look through all 100 pieces on the list to find the piece from my INVENTORY that I want to turn in, even if I focus in on the I-level.

At least provide an option to limit the list to that which is in your inventory, excluding the Armoury Chest.

I made this picture earlier today for the same reason. If they could implement something similar, that would save me a whole lot of pain. It's not game breaking or anything, but it definitively is a big annoyance that often lead to accidental trade-in of the wrong items, and turn a simple task into a something more complicated than it should be.

can I get an amen

Seriously. It's horrible.

If they added gear set icon/confirmation to the pane & enabled you to simply right-click "hand over" items from your inventory... that would 100% fix it.

*Fully agrees*

I also HATE this screen, it's the worst user interface i've seen in my life

There is sort of a confirmation. The initial list shows everything, but when you select one, it has you choose it from your armory chest or inventory (with the same UI as turning items in for a quest or crafting leve). That selecting-the-item step does give you a chance to see where it is and whether it has a gear-set icon.

It's still a hassle to find the items you want in the initial big list, though, so being able to filter them out of that list would make it easier to find what you want. The current item selection provides some protection against accidentally turning in the wrong item, but doesn't help much on finding the right items.

its a terrible UI for those like with with all 50's in DOW/DOM/DOL/DOH and top gear for all of them
i have to make a effort to go thro my armoury and swap everything without a gear set icon to inv just to make sure when i trade in the one item at a time it opens my inv and not my armoury

I would LIKE this post a million times if I could.

They should just add the ability to mark items in your inventory as Keep or Sell. Then you could see this icon in the interface they have not only in Expert Delivery, but in shops or on your retainer as well.

That's the best solution. It would allow the flexibility to not only protect the items in your current gear sets, but also items you're keeping because an alt class is almost up to the level to want it. Then have those items you've marked as "keep" not appear in the GC list, and be grayed-out/unselectable when selling at an NPC or your retainer.

While the UI is pretty terrible, in Character tab of the Character Config, you can uncheck "Store all newly obtained items in the Armory Chest." This will put any new gear in your bag.

Gear that can be turned in for seals appear at the bottom of the turn-in list, just have to scroll down.

I have all combat classes and all DOH/HOL on 50 and all of them are well equipped. So the list is a huge mess and lacks so many comfort options I can't even understand how they can program something like this. Filter for items you wear? Nope. List sorted alphabetically? Nope. List sorted per item type? Nope. Distinguish between armoury and inventory? Nope. Newest items first? Nope.

And to top it, when you submit more than one item, the list is built DIFFERENTLY each time you have returned an item. Item positions change and I do not have the slightest clue what order the UI follows. Random? How was this UI element tested? Purely functional? Yes it works, you can return items. But wasn't there a single tester telling SE that the system is far from beeing user friendly? Has it ever been tested from somebody who has several nicely equipped chars? I seriously doubt it.

Yes please add both options with checkboxes.

1. Only show items in your inventory.
2. Don't show items used in gear sets.

That depends on the ilvl of the piece you are looking for.
High ilvl is at the bottom of the list, low ilvl on top.

Hello,

We wanted to let you know that we’re planning to improve the Expert Delivery user interface in Patch 2.3. With the adjustments that are planned, it will be easier to select which item to hand over to the NPC as you will be able to filter items that are in your Armoury Chest and inventory.

Please tell us this includes "right-click: hand over" (on the item itself in your inventory) and an icon to indicate "belongs to Gear Set" in the Expert Delivery Pane???

And a "mark item as favorite/junk" feature would be extremely welcome to coincide with this.

In any case, thanks so much :) Expert Delivery is a huge pain.

OH! Also, how about improving Melding while you're at it?

Let us decide "# of attempts" when trying to Over Meld.

You can already right click hand in though...?

Excluding items that are part of a saved gear set, will works great imho. If you want exclude some item, you will make a gear set with that.

From the inventory/armory chest, without locating and selecting the item you want to hand in from somewhere in a huge list of items beforehand?

It's incredibly pointlessly time consuming and about time it was fixed :) The filters alone will help but I also hope there is more than just that planned.

Downside is if people know they won't have to endure the current hand-in nightmare, then more people will probably lot on the trash gear drops :P

Why has nobody ever thought of... IDK, instead of improving the current system, just convert it to the standard Buy/Sell window, only with seals instead of gil? And grey out the non-available-for-trading-in items?

What's the point of selecting an item through a list of items we currently know, only to have to look for it again through the Armory Chest / Inventory THEN drag and drop / right click - handover before pressing OK? That's 4 steps total, and it's 2 too many.

To make matters worse, the Expert Delivery selection screen is inherently incapable of showing Spiritbond level or actual stats bonus for Aetherial items. Sometimes you get 2 Aetherial items of the same object with different bonus, and you just wanna sell one of them.

For me this will work great. The items I want to turn in are always in my inventory, not armoury chest, so filtering out the chest will leave a list that is 100% the items I want to trade.

I'd settle for an option to exclude DoH/DoL pieces. Hell, I'd settle for them becoming no longer worth any seals. Whatever it takes to get them off the list.

Yeah that one line "exclude items in gear sets" would literally be all you'd need to do.

Thank you SE! The new interface is just what I was looking for. Soooo much easier now.

Yes, even the filter you set remains as it is after logging out and in again. And you don't need to point to the item in your inventory anymore. Great relief and now it's perfectly easy and quick. Good job.
