Let us craft from Retainer Inventory

[HurtigeKarl]

I love crafting in this game. It has been done extremely well. In fact, its so good I often find my entire inventory is full of crafting materials...as well as my Retainers. I end up having to spend an inordinate amount of time trading back and forth with my Retainer to get the crafting mats I need to keep going.

I propose that SE give us the ability to craft items with ingredients stored in the Retainer's inventory. To make it a little more realistic, I would require that the Retainer actually be summoned so they can "assist" by "handing the materials over" when I need them.

Not only would this make crafting more efficient and fun by reducing non-value added inventory management annoyances but it would leave more of your character's inventory open for precious loot.

Inventory management is an important part of crafting that leads to interesting decisions. Removing the decisions altogether is just dumbing down the game, so no thank you.

I can't even click the retainer bell due to idiots standing on top of it. Why do people do this? PLEASE give us our own bell in our room.

Rebind the "confirm" function to a key you can easily access. I got mine bound to "V". That way you just use "V" to access retainer in one press.

i dont really mind going into the retainer to get stuff, sure it would be faster to let us craft from it. but what i dont like is how you cant even tell how many of those items you have in the bank say if i had 1 "oak log" in my inventory it says 1/99(total:1) i just wish it would tell you have many you had in the bank aswell

Yet another "dumbing down" change that people want to implement. Maybe take the time to actually organize your retainer so that you know where all your stuff is? Currently, you have to gauge the value of organizing your retainer vs spending that time crafting instead; that's an interesting decision you want to remove.

I speak of this as a crafter that has lv50 in all professions and can HQ i70 100% in 4 out of 8 of them. So yeah, I got some experience.
