Retainers, confirmed, you have to pay for them.

Just to glamour you need a prism with a specific level range and a specific crafting type this means you could take up To 40 inventory on prisms alone. Add to this you can get minions crafting materials and items only from this method not even to mention you can get all allagan pieces which are direct gil. Seems like they want you to get more retainers and less of an option.

If you need 40 Slots for Prism's you are doing something totally wrong:



They are just like other Catalyst's; stackable up to 99 x 5 different Grades mean with 1 Stack of each you can Glamour 495 Items. So i dont know what you need 40 Inventory Slots for.

5 grades times seven crafts = 35 inventory slots to cover everything if you want to keep them all stocked all the time instead of just buying them when you need them. It's right there in the image (as well as other images so far), Grade 1 Glamour Prism (Woodworking).

If there's no need for them, then buying them is throwing money at them at that point. Sure some will bite, but not like how your describing it to be like, people REALLY need it. If it has no purpose people won't buy.

See that? They already artificially created a need for 35 inventory slots + all new stuff that is coming out as well.

Funny thing is, do people really need to carry all grades? Like what gear would people wear under 20 on a serious note? Who says you NEED to carry them? Just buy or get what you need use it and voila you still have 35 spaces in your inventory. Using your head to make/save space (also even with those 35 spaces I would still have 131 space) :P. It's still a non issue personally.

True, I take that back then. However, I see no reason to lug around a stack of each grade around.

1) Buy or make 5 Prisms for your gear.
2) Attach the gear to another
3) Prisms are gone? (I am assuming once they are used they disappear.

If #3 is the case then not many people will have inventory issues due to "prisms"

OMG Star you are being far too pragmatic Of course we all carry the lvl 1-5 *5 spaces* items to meld with, we also keep 1 of every materia in our bag JUST IN CASE we need it. So of course we have to carry every lvl of every craft JUST IN CASE we need it /sarcasmoff

Haha!, that cracked me up! Yeah, lets carry 1 of EVERYTHING! then maybe I will have a reason to buy another retainer @.@ bahahaa!

If you look this is different from carbon matter which was UP TO certain levels this is specific level ranges so I can't keep around the rank 5 ones and do it all and actually I do keep materia that I may need it may not be 1 of each but in my retainer I have stuff that is common for relic melds or useful for the crafted i70 sets

Yeah I have them to Yurimi but I keep them on an alt. I do have all crafts and gatherers at lvl 50 but I can't see a reason I would need to keep all lvls of the items in my bag. I MIGHT keep the ones I would use for my own use in my bag and that would only be the top lvl.

Well of course I can save space and organize constantly and all that junk but having an extra retainer would make life easier.

Then by all means spend your 2 bucks, that's your business. Other people including me will just do a routine check on our Retainers and never have inv space issues heh.

I don't even think that was my point in the beginning.

Says the person that sounds like she going to buy a couple of them.

$4 extra for a months worth of entertainment isn't even the cost of a cup of coffee. I'm more than happy to pay real dollars in preference to having to work at getting them through the game. We are provided with a heap of inventory space up front so paying with real dollars for additional is OK. If others aren't prepared to pay extra for it then they obviously don't really need it.
