Armoury chest improvements

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but I can't find a suggestion forum for in game content so..

Last night was the first time I'd maxed out my armoury chest/ item bags and so I set about trying to sell/store stuff on my retainers. Problem was, I had no idea what was or was not bound to gear sets and so it made everything frustrating having to go through all my sets and make a mental note of what I needed to keep.

It also doesn't help that when you move between gear sets it swaps out your previous gear to the same location that the new gear came from, this makes laying out your armoury chest a pain.

My suggestion would be to put an icon/ colour shade on items that are attached to gear sets and if possible keep gear set items at the top of each armoury chest page or include an auto sort icon.

here's the armoury chest as it is now

and a quick mock up of what I propose

Yes please add this SE. No idea why its not in game currently.

Yep, totally needed.

Great suggestion. I hope this gets noticed and implemented!

It just seems a bit chaotic right now, hopefully someone at SE who's playing the game agrees with us! :)

I agree, very chaotic and busy atm. x_x;

Even trying to transfer an item from page 4 to page 3 in the Inventory, for example, can be a pain. Better inventory management, not just the Armoury Chest but the Inventory Box (as well as retainers) should be refined. {Yes, please.}

You sir have my Like, i had the same problem few days ago ending up selling some set gear by mistake.
I hope more people like so SE can see this idea.

Oh god yes SE please do something like this, I have so much stuff all over the place and would love a quick way to be able to see what I am actually using and what I am not.

Absolutely, either this or a label in the tool tip when you hover over the item to identify which set it belongs to.

+1

I was thinking about this myself now I have about 20 items in each piece of the chest. It's quite chaotic D:

An excellent idea. Also being able to lock some items "DO NOT SELL ME", would be great, for these valuable items you farmed months for.

Totally agree. Nice idea.

Please don`t let this treat die till we get a reply.

Like sooooo much Like I have been swearing and cursing about this for so long. If the items would at least stay where I put them I could handle it... I need to organise but cannot organise...I'm considering resorting to a gearset rotation so every time I want to change I have to change in order so my 25 main hands that are all set up how i want them don't move.

perhaps the ability to add a note to items in your armory chest would be fantastic too.!! I'm sure it wont be that big of a deal when you have level 50 every things but during the leveling up stage it's a nightmare.

thanks for the bump! :) It would be nice if we did get a dev response seeing as this feature does seem quite important.
It's ok while you're leveling one class but when you're jumping between a few battle classes, forage and craft it gets confusing. xD


edit/ I'm also sure that SE could come up with a more eloquent solution, mine was just thrown together quickly as I wanted to get the idea out there.

I read a dev post somewhere on the forums that they are working on adjusting the system so that the equiped gear actualy stays in your armory box (is just marked as equiped) and as such doesn't ever even move from it's slot. I would link the post here, but no idea where it is anyomore.

Everyone knows the armoury needs some upgrade, hopefully square listens to this.

Oh this would be nice! I don't know how many times I've stored some stuff and then changed classes... only to find I have no pants. =-.-=;;

ANY kind of indicator (even mouse over?) would be appreciated!

Absolutely needed for people that keep loads of sets. Please add this!

Great idea, should be added to this list:

I totally agree ! This would be extremly useful

Yes! I've been saying this since Phase 4. Either highlight items that are in other sets, (love that idea) or at the very least when we go to sell/turn into materia a piece of gear warn us that it is part of a set. Though I prefer what you suggest. This would make managing gear sets so much easier.

I'd like to also see SE add tabs across the top of the armory chest window for War, Magic, Land and Hand. And perhaps a Misc for costumes, etc. Or at least be able to isolate them as such.

At the moment there is no order at all to the armory chest and I hope SE add some functionality to it in the future.

Along with agreeing with OP, this as well. Certain slots (such as weapon, hat, body) are very clustered and crowded being that magic/land/hand/war all use tons of different sets. If each class type had a different page, it would help a lot.

I really hope we get a reply about this cause if you lvl multiple classes it's a nightmare to manage the armory.

This would also be a welcome change! i've sold stuff before and then went to equip a gear set only to get an error. :S It doesn't even let you equip the rest of the gear.

And maybe even a side by side comparison on the item you're selecting in the armory chest and what you have equipped, instead opening the Character screen separately ~_~

great idea. I dont know why SE cant design a good UI but please add this.
