[Dev??] Storage: Yes/No? (Please Assist.)

I love me some holiday events, but these things are brutal on the inventory space. Can we get some word on whether or not there will be another option to store event items, such as an infinite retainer slot or a storage NPC? I'd hate to have to drop these things, and I already see people doing just that.

Seems like a lot of hard work from devs and players both going to waste.

We need an infinite player bank, set down storage on retainers, set up item count on bazar. This way all would be happy, and we wouldnt need to toss things around :D (means we can use gear over again when leveling a new class, instead of buying and crafting the same thing ten times :/

They are planning to make a personal storage box in the future for this :) was mentioned in the interview.

I have no trouble keeping every last one of the event items, even one stack of each of the consumables. However I think we just need more space in general with how this game is. Hell I'd even pay for the extra retainers now if they let us.

just toss me all your lil fishies and we can clear some space :P

really though, it would be nice if at least they made these holiday events have a trunk or some kind of storage not in your inventory(unless you carry it on your person) so that you could hold onto them. it seems like this would be a nice idea to handle the massive amounts of gear we collect from just holiday events. maybe this will be handled once we get player housing.

i'd do more of the events if i could hold onto the gear for more than a few days.

i haven't been on yet so im not sure how it works but, if they made the bathing suits to have stats like underwear and be able to wear them under clothes then we could just toss our old used underwear out.

Stats are worse than Cotton Underwear.

Yes, well said. :)

I hope Yoshida-san and company give us that Personal Storage Space soon (translated from Reinheart's thread on a JP Forum reply).

These Holiday Events can be wonderful memories, part of what makes FF XIV fun, with friends. :) But the lack of additional inventory space is really getting painful. (10 more slots taken for this Summer Event for example.)

I can't imagine when they release JSE (Job Specific Equipment), with full sets of ~5 - 6 pieces per Job, like Artifact Armor, etc.

Mog House {Can I have it?} ;)

We're currently in the process of devising some type of storage box solution for storing the plethora of event-related items we've been distributing. I don't have a solid time frame to give you, but I'm sure we can all look forward to a place to keep all this stuff!

I'm up to my ears in swimsuits!

separated storage for event items, awesome. :)

They could go to their own tab, like crystals.... I still think retainers should be able to hold a lot more than a player can. Their sole purpose in life is to hold our stuff, they could at least do it better than we can PC's can :).

300 slot retainers go!

I understand the technical and economic concerns that accompany limiting inventory space, but it's a pretty important issue for many players. From a game design standpoint, managing inventory doesn't add anything fun to a game, just lots of tedium and annoyance. Most people I know already have both retainers full and their personal inventory drifts between 80 and 100 items at all times, and these people aren't even hoarding things. Between food, crafting items, loot, equipment sets, weapons and tools for the multitude of classes, it gets pretty tough to juggle all that stuff. The devs have already taken steps to reduce the number of items we carry (such as increasing stack sizes), but I stress the importance of giving us more storage options - and not just for collectibles like we have now.

You and me, both! As long as I know for sure I'll regret it if I drop it, I'll keep chucking mats.

please and thank you! ^^

Start NPC Vendor Type AH's EX: Armor Vendor Will be a AH for Armor Thus making wards a type of Global Mog house to show of event type gear on our retainers. Give us 1 Retainer but Maximize there size tri-fold 100 inventory slots to 300-400. Also Keep the bazaar type for personal sells but With a Larger tax ware to AH NPC Vendors would have lil to no tax a sell/buy. IMO this would free up space and add order~ to the complex ward system and the growing numbers of space needed for more and more retainers~

A storage NPC in each City near the wards for this sort of thing would be great- I know they had something like this in FFXI.
I got rid of most of my egg hats at Easter due to lack of inventory :(

And the good thing with this also would be the fact, that we can have all the fun event items with us all the time :)

IMO the storage dont have to be infinity or 300 slots, around 100 slots with function as acc storage so player can transfer item from character to character within the acc and even when all the character is delete the item still remain in there until player create a new char and use the storage

300 slot retainers + acc storage >.>

Can we bump this into a "critical" fix? :(

Or at least let us get more retainers. I have $20 worth of crysta sitting there since I bought the game back in September 2010

I think an "Unlimited Unique Items" are allowed on these things... And only stores unique items...
