[Suggestion] Luggage !

I'm not sure if anyone else is having as many storage issues as me, but....it seems like it! I read that they are considering making synthesis easier on items required and such, but I honestly don't want that. I like that there is some difficulty in item synthesis because it makes creating items have a bigger sense of accomplishment. (I'm a culinarian, so trust me, I have storage issues!) So my solution?

Why can't we make all the great looking luggage pieces in several of the guilds?

If you go to the tanner's guild, there are bags. If you go to the carpenter's guild, there are closets/wardrobes/boxes. If you go to the goldsmith's guild there are little detailed jewelery boxes scattered about. Even the weaving guild has cloth bags sitting around.

I would much rather have these implemented before the removal of materials from specific synths or something. I could see them being unique items maybe, so that people could only have one of each. However, it would be great for the economy since almost everyone would want them and they would be something constantly sought after. And some better than others, like being able to hold more, but still overwriting the older one somehow. Like 'okay bag' could be 5 spaces, 'good bag' could be 8 spaces, and 'great bag' could be 10 spaces.

I could also see them creating their own tab in the inventory screen so you can put what you want in them (as long as they fit the category of item that could go into it.)

Like a jewelery box is only for jewelery, and a picnic basket would only be for food. Maybe even a canteen for drinks. =p

Anyway, there are tons of options for this and I think it would be a more creative solution for the inventory problem that still fits in with the world of Eorzea! ^^

Also on another note, if we can't craft these 'luggage' items, can we at least have quests to obtain them? I guess quests through those particular guilds for those 'luggage' items would make sense. Because what if you were able to synthesize one as an HQ version? Does that one hold more? I guess that idea doesn't make much sense so, maybe questing for these items through their respective guilds is more knowledgeable? Anyone else have some ideas on this?

Tentative bump hoping for input. =)

That is an excellent idea! Each bags/box/etc could be presented as a tab with the current inventory UI. You equip one bag/box/etc in your gear and you gain the tab in your inventory. AND/OR add inventory slots to equipment! For example, many belts have pouches, why not add +x inventory slot in your default inventory when you equip these belts? That could be a solution to inventory problems many adventurers are facing, instead of simply adding more inventory space out of the blue. Let the hoarders work their way through hoarding (just a teasing). :p

The developers need to realize they HAVE TO context to everything they put into the game. Otherwise, even if it's helpful, it feels out of place and makes half the community angry. With context, it just feels right and everyone is happy.

Yes. Why just give us all a bunch of people to employ as our retainers? Is each lone adventurer starting a small business? It's kind of odd...so as far as inventory goes, I think this idea fits in well with the world and is more realistic than having tons of retainers at our service. =/

Absolutely! We are adventurers, not business entrepreneurs in FFXIV, haha!

Also the addition of all this untradeable gear, we could really use something storage wise here...

I expanded on this thread with another one. ^^

oh! It would be neat if you could store your tools and sub tools on your belt or something. ^^ Every little bit helps!

I like this idea a lot, I also hate how any equipped items still take up inventory space, but that's a different topic I think. I love the whole luggage idea though, it'd help so much. I noticed that theres a spot on the gear menu that says something like bags on it? I was wondering if that'd be used for a luggage-like thing, but haven't seen anyone use that.

I just really don't want them to make synthing easier because they think we have a lack of space. All they need to do is bring in the bags they probably already have made, but not implemented. =( I like the sense of accomplishment collecting all the materials for synthing items gives me, and I'm sure others. And, storage makes way more sense than employing tons of retainers. ^^;

that's true, I'd rather carry all my stuff with me in some way, not throw it with my retainer who you need to make time to contact and such. Plus bags could look like fun little accesories on our characters too. There was a suggestion in a thread on the Botanist forum to carry a basket around, for any and all botanist related objects.

So this system wouldn't just be for crafters, but for field workers too :)
