Inventory full, Loot abandoned

[Kafeen]

Retainers will serve as Storage NPCs.

They have the same amount of room as your character does so getting 1 retainer per city will help and sells things you don't need.

175 x 3 bank space is BIG enough for your inventory needs. =) Use those retainers!

We get 3?

I hired 2 because that's what I had in 1.0.

I didn't know we could get a third too.

Thanks.

Edit :

Would be nice to have a temporary holding area though for those times you do get full, just to give you time to drop something you don't need.

No, you cant hire 3 retainers :/ And back in 1.0, they added overflow items to a loot list of yours that stayed for a while in case your inventory was full, up to 10 items in it. I haven't had the OP's problem, but they should have kept that anyways.

Can probably blame PS3 memory limitations for it being gone tho.

Tough love from SE. Its basically saying why do you need the item, your just going to let it rot in your inventory.

Ever see those weird shows where people hoard items for like 50 years and they cant walk in their house anymore lol.

The game should go further and identify gear you don't use in a long time with quaint messages saying

"You don't need this anymore, do you?"

One week later

"Help those Ala Migho refugees, donate your old clothes"

One mother later

"Save the Lalafell"

I love this idea. There should be regular 'donate old gear to needy cause' events where we are rewarded for turning in old outdated useless stuff.

you know...

In XI, whenever you got loot when your inventory full, it will automatically goes into loot list for period of time before it's gone forever. At least it gives us some time to decide if we can ditch unimportant stuff.

A marvel from old system which I wonder why it doesn't carried over. :?

oh wait... they did, in XIV 1.0. lol

Nevermind, yeah was 2, sorry for misinformation. :/

Memory constraints - PC only MMOs have limitations in various areas still even if it's 2013.

BS. When you keep an item in the inventory it need to keep only the ref ID of that item or may be some small extra information as meterias. But it should be really small and no way that can cause memory constraints.

Aren't those supply run GC quests?

This.

Seems like a lot of posters didn't play FFXI. You had a chance to make space in your gobbiebag if you had new loot and it was full.

I was surprised when my loot disappeared and didn't hang around for a couple of minutes like it did in FFXI. Thankfully, it wasn't anything important.

No one should have inventory issues unless they hoard everything lol. All in all, it was your fault for not checking your inventory space, you get a BIG popup in the top of your screen stating: "4 slots left....3 slots left....2 slots left...1 slot left...0 slots left.."

Even then I hoard everything and have plenty of space to spare. Retrainers are awesome.

So instead of commenting why does the game has no system to prevent items to get lost in the void, you all go raging on me for having inventory fulls by that moment, ok.

Good job white knighters!

i hope someday u'r hardcore raiding and your item that you farmed 90 times before finnaly drops and it gets lost forever.

I don't think white knights means what you think it means. They're saying you should probably pay better attention. There's numerous ways to see if your bags are full. Maybe you can equip the dodo eggs as a helmet or something. Also, way to to be a hypocrite and whine about them raging on you when you do the exact same thing. GG, GG.

Do you have any idea how much information would be needed to be stored across THOUSANDS of players for their gear?
Do you even know what you're talking about? No. What, you want infinite bagspace? Gimmee gimmee gimmee, but gimmee never gets.
