Pay for your inventory.

[The_Last_Dragoon]

Sorry but no, collecting in an RPG is a essential part of the experience and having to pay for inventory space just cause the devs can`t come up with a simple solution for inventory space...

And is as a simple armory with a "collections" menu where you can keep all diferent armor and weapon sets can be allocated without using inventory space. Simple, doable, damn, most RPG have something like this and works like a charm. Why XIV can`t?

This game gives you 100 inventory spaces, 350 retainer spaces, 25 armory chest spaces per equipment slot, an armoire which can hold certain unique items, and if you really need it there are 40 market board slots. Not to mention that there's also a total 150 slots in the Free Company Chests which will probably be expanded as new FC ranks come out. That's a total of 450 free slots and 300 specific gear slots per character. Not only is this more than most MMORPGs, but most stackable items stack all the way up to 99. There is a CRAZY amount of free storage in this game, and if you don't seem to have enough space then it's either time to clear out all of those useless monster drops or suck it up and pay SE so you can continue with your hoarding problem.

The problem is, we have so many classes and now we're getting 3 more jobs. So you have all the gear for them + glamour items you store/change. The amount of space that requires both crafting/gathering classes is really high. Just to mention a few things. I don't think a lot of people here use the FC chest to store their personal goods though.

I use my FC one regularly. Its emptier now... while my Retainers have nearly maxed their inventories. I was half ready to dispose of gear and crafting mats (that don't sell...darn you early NQ stuff), then realized I have more classes to do... They could at least give us or our current retainers move inventory spaces, instead of needing more Retainers.

If you play 22 jobs then you still have 3 extra spaces in each armory chest slot, and unless you're running 5 different glamour sets for each class including your crafting and gathering classes then you really shouldn't have a problem in terms of space in your retainer's inventory. Instead of hoarding items senselessly maybe it would be in your best interest to take all of the gear you would never use as glamour anymore and get rid of it. If you had a unique set of non-jewelry glamours for every class then you would have 132 slots taken up and an additional 15 for potential off-hand glamours. This means that you have only 147 slots being taken up even at that extreme. As for end-game crafting, an economical player knows that materials in excess is a waste, and it is better not to hoard items that are easily bought and sold on the market board. I'm certain though that most players with full level 50s have "favorite" classes and classes that they really only play during the first few weeks that new gear comes out (if even that). I'm sure that if you enjoy the game enough that you have more than one glamour set to all of your classes, then you won't complain paying an extra $2.00 per retainer every 30 days (~$24 per year!) and support SE in further developing a game you love so much.

To the people saying you don't need that many slots! I have every crafter level 50. And 40 slots to sell is not enough for 1 crafter to sell, little alone 8 of them. Anyone saying you don't need all that space must not be a crafter!

And there are some 300 000 items (doesn't matter the exact amount) in this game. The crazy thing here is people saying there is a crazy amount of free space.
