Lock function for inventory / amoury items

Wouldn't it be nice if there could be a lock function that can be used on items we know we will never want to throw, even by accident? There have been multiple times where I almost or have accidentally npc or discarded items.

Not sure how implementable this function is code wise, but its something I really wish can be implemented, and especially so for paid items.

I like this idea. EQII had the ability to set something to not ever sell. Setting "No Sell" could function like the drop downs on GC turn-ins, and not even show the item available to be sold.

Other games do this rather well and painlessly. Would be nice, but I don’t expect more inventory space or space options to come in because of past positions on code/limits…. for now, I suggest using your chocobo saddlebag.

Nah I don't mean to have more space, although that is a HUGE wish but due to the current limitations I don't think we'll get that. But just a lock system on the items already in your inventory. Instead of creating a section specially for it...

I understood ya; I meant I don't think there will be any tinkering in general at all with the inventory system including what you want: the space option like locking or "ignore this slot for sorting", etc.

It's a good idea though!

I keep a tight, clean inventory (two whole slots used mostly) but can support this.

This would be a fantastic opportunity. I often miss click and sell, items that I didn't mean to. Especially with my collection of ailments, would make things that much easier.

You probably already know this, but just in case you don't: there is an option to buy back from every vendor you visit. It's limited to the last..20 or so items, and I believe it only lasts while you're in the same zone.

I donated my belt for my leveling gun blade. I was like wtf is this, and donated and move on. Went to play gunblade and was like OH ya...that is why I had that belt.

I know. Though I know not many have it or even know about them, but with a combination of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Essential Tremors simple things become... interesting. So when flare up happen it basically becomes a chore just do simple tasks that many don't normally think about. Like clicking, or even using keybinds. Being able to just to lock gear and mats without the stress and struggle to click multiple times just to sell or buy simple items.

If it's saved to an armour set you can get the list to ignore it.

There's a drop-down menu item that says "ignore gear set items" or similar. Select that and never accidentally donate an item from a gear set again!

Did not know that. Thanks.

Yes and - a lock position option.

I love that the game has a sort function - and that you can even adjust how the sort priority works - but I would love it if you could lock the position of certain items in your inventory (just an option in the r-click menu) so that it didn't autosort with everything else. Would be a huge qol tweak.

Part of the reason my inventory is a huge mess is that I'm too scared to throw anything away gear wise, because the game doesn't exactly highlight what things are currently equipped on all my other jobs.
I don't know how some of you have all the jobs at 100. I can barely manage 4 X___x

One option I'd love to see get implemented is the option to 'Condense' rather than 'Sort.' Move all the items over to fill a void in the inventory, without putting in the coded sort the current design has.
