Vanity & inventory management.

Hello, I would like to suggest an idea for vanity, that I am surprised is not being used. (If someone has brought this up... I didn't see the thread and apologize in advance.)

Instead of me having to hold on to every piece a gear for future vanity purposes. Why can I not destroy it and have the system remember what pieces I have obtained? This would lower the burden on inventory space by a lot.

As an example of what I mean look no further than Diablo III's Transmog. (I'm sure other games have done it as well)

Anyway just a thought.

-----------------------

Let me explain it in more detail what I mean.

1. You go out looking for the gear you want and obtain the item.

2. Once obtained, you automatically unlock that look. (it is added to your glamor list)

3. You glamor the same way you do now only it pulls up a list of looks you have unlocked instead of your current inventory.

You still use glamor prisms, you still need to obtain the gear first (Crafting, or dungeon) to unlock that look.

During the course of leveling multiple jobs I have amassed quite alot of unique non-aetherial gear and as a result my one of my retainer is nearing the limit.

I like you idea. or at the very least make it so that the salvager can sell you gear unqique dungeon gear that you already got in the past? They do this for your relic weapon and events.

PS3 Limitations.

In all seriousness, it's a wonder they made Glamour such a chore & inventory such a nightmare to manage.

Another failed implementation by Yoshi & his team unfortunately, I hope they take your suggestion to heart.

Another failed implementation? LOL ok....

I really wish they'd do something like this. Like many other players I have pages of 'green' gear that I probably won't ever use, but would be really annoying to reacquire if I wanted to use the look. Making a system where you physically destroy the item with the look you want, while perhaps detrimental in some cases, would be very helpful. Just make it so that destroying it once unlocks that look permanently.

It would require redoing nearly the entire glamour system of course, and I very much doubt they want to do that, but it would be nice. The other side, of course, is all those duplicate glamour prisms that can only exist to create inventory strain.

One thing is for certain, there needs to be something done about the lack of space. ~_~;;

It'd be nice if we could just put all of our gear into armoury chest. My 4th retainer is about to burst from all the vanity gear I have saved for all the classes.

I'd rather the item becomes bound and worth 0 gil (after you save its image in your glamour log). Then I can continue to use certain pieces and it would make sense for pieces you wont really obtain more than once (or toss it if you just wanted its image).

I heard they were adding an item log or something... Would be awesome if that system tied in with glamouring. The particular types of glamour prisms is helpful to keep each craft its own gil so I'm not sure that should go, but I think you could have a neat feature where in the glamour menu you can purchase prisms wherever you are.

Basically a link to that particular item on the market ward only. You don't need to mange it anymore as much as just buy it when you need it, with ease. Also let you right click the purchase box first so you can "search for item" just in case. That QoL feature they added recently has been great. Need to add it to more locations that list items <3

(I don't really use glamour - wysiwyg, I just see these like suggestions as a huge QoL lol)

What they should do IMO, if you get a whole set you can turn it into one single item and you can equip it to a mannequin on your room. You could turn it back into separate pieces at will.

That would solve inventory issues and force players to do what SE loves, running older dungeons to complete the whole set.

Even if they add more inventory slots with the current system it would be a mess.

I edited my post.

I'm not suggesting you change the entire system only the portion that requires me to hold on to a piece just in case I want to glamor it later.

This is especially annoying with the soldiery upgrades (or any upgrading things they do in the future) because when you upgrade the item it is not actually the original item, it is a new one, thus destroying any glamor you had.

I'll throw in agreement. One of my retainers is devoted to simply being potential glamour gear and I would love a system where I could actually use that space, and have a log. I've had to get rid of quite a few pieces of gear just because I didn't have room to store it, making some tough choices there.

I don't think SE is going to be entertaining these idea's. Aside from the obvious desire to equip ourselves and get the look we want, the second biggest reason they put a system like this in place is to promote the re-do of content and stimulate the economy. Having gear saved in a log for you to use indefinitely removes the need to go get the item multiple times which will mean you will not re-do content. It also means that the demand of gear will go down on the market wards. Sounds like an episode of Epic hoarders in here. You are holding onto a lot of gear that you can sell for gil/seals and re-obtain and sell a hundred times over. Save your retainers back and sell it all. Grab it when you need it and stimulate the economy while doing it.

This of course is just my opinion

If it were so easy. Try and get a full set from those new dungeons. You'll be sitting on a crapload of crafting mats in a month and still wouldn't be able to get the set. You make it sound like I can just go and get that item I want during an evening.

No I'm not going to throw my piece of armor. I know how hard it is to regain it.

I do wonder if they plan to increase inventory space both retainer and armory wise with the addition of more classes...

I love the OP's idea. My retainers and inventories are getting full from glamour items T_T

I love the OP's idea but I'm doubtful they will implement this, far into the game to say the likeliest.

There will no longer be incentives into buying the optional retainers if this was implemented and you know SE, they'll milk you as much as they can if they can.

There is a system in another game I used to play.
basically you got something called a Equipment Collection and in the Collection there were slots for 1 of every gear.

As you collected Equipment you could then record them in this collection UI(One item per) and take it out whenever you wanted to get a new look.
It helped out a lot for all the "Fashinogi's" in the game

There was even a rarity system, the more people slotted a piece of equipment the less stars it gained in rarity.
Very rare equipment would show up with full stars.

Oh hey, a fellow Mabinogian. I remember this system, it came about around the time I got too fed up with Nexon screwing up my favorite game to be able to enjoy it anymore. Didn't it cost a crapton of gold to recover most of the items you put in though?

I'm not sure what it was like in NA, but in Korean Mabinogi the feature was free.

I just wish we can add dungeon + tome gear into our armoire. Honestly their "server limitation" is getting on my nerves. It doesn't bother me yet, since it took me near a year to fill up my retainer.

But these inventory limitations are getting annoying. Atma cant stack nor arent they in the key items folder.

I just wish they can include more slots for inventory. But it'll be better they can male the armoire more useful.

I had a piece of every unique green and blue till 2.3 in a retainer, but my crafting retainer got full too, so I just up and tossed everything but the body pieces at my Grand Company for about 300k Seals. TBH some times you just need to let it go.

I had a feeling people would bring this up... The argument of redoing content is kind of a moot point, most people that may want to glamor something later are not going to toss it out, they are going to shove it on their retainer so they don't need to obtain it again dungeon run or market board.

This would be the only exception to what I said above. (being forced due to lack of space)

I'll take this a step further and add that a portion of people in the position of being forced to drop the gear, will not re-run for that gear, they will cut their loss.

This would be the only reason I could see them not wanting to implement a system such as the one in my original post. However, if you don't want to spend more money you are not going to, and you just end up in a situation that I stated above this quote.

It is a very poor implementation.

Not going to happen. More space = Less people buying retainers = Less income for SE **monthly**

So yeah, players brought this on themselves by not protesting enough (and some even thanking SE for that "service" lawl), I'm sure if there was enough rage it'd be changed (look what rage make SE do about 1.0 lol)

Oh, and it's just going to get worse, new classes, new jobs, new content, new gear. Not only for vanity but also for items we require for our classes/crafting.

So far I know a LOT only in the FC I'm at, that buy retainers. The more people do that, the more SE is encouraged to keep us out of space by every passing day.

If only people would think forward before buying or requesting things......... ( > . >
