Stop ignoring the Armoire!

This is Thread Nr. 100 Billion about why tf they won't let us store more gear in the Armoire.
Especially Job Gear!

Just throw it away and rebuy it from the Calamity Salvager you say?
Well.. that's a crappy solution!

1. Calamity Salvager Gear is NOT AUG-MEN-TED! So i would have to re-augment it in order to be able to dye it! F that!
Nvm the fact that they dont even have all of the Job-Gear.
Like Lvl 60 DRK Job Gear for example.

Anyway...

2. Let's assume my Glamour Dresser is full (it always is).
- So i would have to rebuy the Job Gear
- Remove some stuff from my Glamour Dresser so that i have room for the Job Gear
- Create my Glamour Plate
- Remove the Job Gear and throw it away (welp)
- Put the other stuff back and waste some Glamour Prisms in the process (not that they are expensive but still)

That just tedious and stupid.

All the Cash Shop and Event stuff can be put into the Armoire (except that one Minfilia dress for whatever reason).
So it cant be that hard!

With the increased and still increasing popularity of this game, me thinks the devs have to invest more thought into really obvious QoL changes.
Like that Market Board... god.. dont even get me started on that.

Sorry for the tiny rant.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you cant put cash shop stuff (besides old event stuff) in the armoire, and tha has been a gripe of mine for a very long time.

They should really just make a glamour log. Honestly, the current system is already instancing items for plates and maintaining dye information for stuff in the dresser (which wouldn't be required with a list) so this shouldn't be an outrageous demand, just let us have a client-side list that keeps track of the gear we've seen and just verify the items with server-side lists when we add them to the glam plate. Sure that'll be more strain on the servers as we populate the lists in the beginning but past that it shouldn't be much more and the level of QoL would be huge. How many people would want a change like that over some random relic content that'll be dead content in a few months?

It should at least be a consideration as a serious candidate for expansion features.

"All the Cash Shop and Event stuff can be put into the Armoire"
No, only items related to achievements can be placed there (like seasonal event items and AF1 gear sets for example). Mogstation/FFXIV Store exclusive stuff cannot, because there's no achievement related to those items. This is why every single seasonal event gives you an achievement when you finish it's quest, so you can place the glam there and also be able to rebuy the same items from the Calamity Salvager



"invest more thought into really obvious QoL changes. Like that Market Board"
Care to at least explain which is the issue with the marketboard?

Putting stuff up for sale is very tedious.

You have to manually write down all the current prices of the stuff you want to sell.
Then go over to your retainers and put it up for sale.

If you have a lot of stuff you wanna sell and multiple retainers it makes it even more tedious because it takes ages to switch between retainers.
I made a separate thread about the retainer menu a few months ago.

You can check the MB prices from the retainer selling screen by clicking on the Compare Prices button in the top right corner. There's no reason to have to write anything down.

And while many items that can go in the armoire are gotten from achievements, there are many that are not. Being tied to an achievement is not a requirement for something being eligible for armoire storage.

You don't have to write it down, there's the option to see current pricing when you are listing an item.

Damn.. nvm then.
You learn something new every day.

Also, 3.0 job gear isn't in the armoire because it was tome gear.

Call me a cynic, however I suspect SE would never allow the dev team to make a proper glamour log because it directly impacts retainer purchases. After all, glamour is a significant portion of what people hoard. The glamour dresser will likely be the best we'll get, which wouldn't be so bad if they continue bump up its limits and let you put it in your house.

True, I would get rid of a retainer in a heartbeat if the glam system was actually a decent feature.

Unfortunately, it’s my glamour hoarding that might make me retire from this game. It has been really hard for me to figure out what to get rid of for more glamour clutter. I usually toss anything I can buy quickly, but dungeon drops and tomestone gears I hold on to and it’s getting difficult, because I’m almost out of purchasable gear to toss. I don’t craft, because I have no room for crafting and same for gathering. I haven’t even tried the jobs, because I have no room for their gear. If I can’t get through this expansion with a better or more expansive inventory, then I’m out for good and I’d hate to leave this game I’ve played non-stop with a continued uninterrupted subscription since ARR 2.0.

None of the Job Gear past Level 50 can be stored in the Armoire.
So the source doesn't really matter.

But i think you mean the Calamity Salvager.. which only has the Lvl 60 GNB Job Gear for sale.
Which kinda sucks but since the Gear from the Calamity Salvager is not augmented it doesn't really matter anyway.

This is a great annoyance for me as well. They really should find a way to either add purchased items to the armoire or let you repurchase the gear via the calamity salvager or something.

I do agree, the armoire should have more things be put into it. Job gear, relic weapons, and some of the gear sets too. Idk what is so wrong with that.

I don't think either is likely because of the nature of greed indicated that it would be better for the bottom lien to for players to rebuy the same gear in the event that it was lost.

They can't. SE has already been over this. The sh!tty code that FFXIV was written with won't allow it. They've had to struggle to get us the Armoire to begin with and they're quickly running out of ways to expand it as is.

Correction. They (or SE) don't want to spend the time and resources to fix it. Keep in mind, flying in ARR was cited as impossible due to crappy 1.0 coding. They fixed that... even if it was wholly unnecessary.

It wasn't because of crappy coding. It was just because the maps hadn't been designed with flying in mind.

And the question still remains whether if they'll still look horrendous seen from above or not (though I'm more of a Utility trumps Aethestics guy).

only lvl 50 artifacts can be put in there but the dyeable versions of it can't.

And yea, I do hope they'll increase the limit space of glamour dressor in the next patch or so. Too many nice looking gears, too little space to keep them forever.
