Dev. Request: Permanent Use for Raid loot

Hey dev team, please please can we have:

Furniture Item: Weapon Stands

What are we to do with the old weapons from coils and primals we worked hard to obtain (and soon to be Alex weapons)! At the moment they're just loitering around in our inventory taking up space but we're proud of obtaining them and want to show them off! I would like to see furniture where we can display a set of weapons for a given class. This would be class specific, so for a WHM it would be a rack where the staves stand up, for SMN it would be a table top bookshelf, etc. I guess you'd make it so that you can't place the item until x weapons have been configured to display in the stand and it would be untradeable/ unsellable so only the person who has the weapons can configure the stand and place it.

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
Lethys,

A nice suggestion but...
"too much stress on servers."

I won't take that for an answer as FC housing is instanced and we have more servers incoming :P

There was mention of mannequins to display equipment last year and then complete silence on the subject ever since then. No idea what happened about it but there are dozens of housing features they've said they're working on that then just disappear like smoke.

Aye I've noticed that, this very thing had been requested back in 2.2 with a response from the dev team as well and I've been intensley waiting for it ever since. Though I know they're super busy giving players other things that they want too!

It would be nice if raid gear can be used in 5 star crafting recipes as a mat to get a stronger gear.
Of course only possible if crafted yourself (because character bounded).

It can have the same ilevel like the original raid gear, but with materia slots (and dyeable) and still character bounded.

Like just about every other serious suggestion people have made, you'll be given that answer by the community until you're repeating "limitations" in your sleep. But push on! This is a good suggestion, even if there's an excuse for why we can't have it (and many other, even simpler things) around every corner.

I'm sad that my Apocalypse Zeta is hidden away on my retainer! I'd love to be able to have it on display in my room or in the FC house. I got really excited when I saw the display stand furniture item, only to discover the only thing that looks good on it is cake.

I don't see them adding this unless they come up with more housing, if there were such a feature you'd see even more rage than you already do regarding lack of housing and locking players out of certain content. It's a nice idea, but something perhaps for down the line.

I'd put money on us getting this before we get a tackle box for fishing

To be fair, even if they're actually implementing only a fraction of the suggestions they get every day, keeping us up to date on every single one of them would end up being a project in and of itself.

Unite together for fun new features, people!! *chants*

Well, dunno what its like on your side of the planet, but down here, we understand that "we're working on something" isn't "its in the next patch"

Just because they have not told you every detail of every facet of every feature they may or may not be working on right now does not mean the feature wont exist down the line, nor does it mean they scrapped it immediately following saying "Hey we might do a thing".

People need to stop taking speculative "We might be able to do something like that" statements as ironclad guarantees.

@OP, I like it. Being able to show off the sort of gear my FC has acquired together would be rather nice.
To add my own suggestion to yours, Display Stands for Weapons, Mannequins for Armor and a specialized "Trophy Room" that functions like the Private Rooms to put it all in.
You'd still be able to put all the display stuff in the main house, but i think being able to buy a dedicated trophy room that FC members can add to with their own stuff would be neat, so its not just the FC Leader who needed to have gotten something nice in order to display it.

Yeah I like those ideas too. I'd like to have these things in the main house but a dedicated trophy room would be great as we get more crafted furniture items from raids such as the Head of the Dreadwyrm and what not!

The biggest issue with this would be putting untradeable gear on it, and someone else taking it off. They could definitely program around that, but it's more complex to implement than a simple piece of furniture.

I would like to be able to convert dungeon/raid/tome gear into materia so it has more use than just taking up space or giving a tiny amount of company seals.

We also need a way to craft materia slots into dungeon/raid/tome gears. More materias don't bring much if the ways to use them don't increase, too.
Or make it that those gears can be converted to rare materias, like during 1.2x where the only way to get a TP+ materia was by converting Ifrit weapons.

Well, they did make some of the loot gear desynthable. Maybe they just need to keep expanding on that.

I mentioned a solution that aimed to address that in my initial post :)

A weapon stand would be nice feature to have. We collect so many great-looking weapons and the only time we can see them is either in great previews or if we equip or glamour them

If there is such a feature in the future then I hope there's be an option to click their sheath/unsheath looks on/off
