Pay for your inventory.

[Evergrey]

it's a waste of money buying mats.

SE: -What should we do? People say it's a waste to buy stuff of the market.
-We got no other choice... Remove the market boards! Let everyone farm for their own stuff as much as they want and hoard it all!

My FC has a mansion too. We have an FC chest that we store items in for purposes just like the ones you're talking about; stuff that's meant to be used for the FC goes in our FC chest, crafting materials included.

I felt the same way in 1.0 when i refused to craft. "lol you guys just cant manage inventory space".
Come talk to me when you start crafting.

Yay for being condescending!

My FC is full of multi-50 crafters (including 2- and 3-star ones) who somehow seem to manage just fine with two or at most three retainers. It isn't nearly as impossible as you claim.

Never did I say it was impossible. What I am saying is that Yoshi P said the game has double the content after 3.0 as it did before. Double everything. I'm assuming that means items also. It WILL become impossible. Currently, it is not.

We have 10 levels as opposed to the previous 50. It's -impossible- for them to double the number of gear sets within those ten levels unless they have two alternative gear sets per single level. This is assuming that not all 51-60 gear will be class-specific, which would just be outrageous. Similarly, it wouldn't make sense to have a new potion and food tier for every 2 levels, would it?

Considering that, I very highly doubt that crafting materials will be doubling in count. No, I'd say when Yoshi P was talking content, he was talking content. Content as in "things to do", not "thinks to have".

I'd say it's a safe estimate that we'll have 2 (maybe 3 if they really push it) new tiers of crafting materials for 51-60 crafting, then 1 material tier beyond that for 60 star crafting. At the same time, demand for the highest no-star level 50-ish materials and materials for 50 1, 2, and 3-star crafts will all drop, with 1, 2, and 3-star craft materials dropping to the point where you likely won't even want to stock them at all.

All in all, I don't think the inventory problem will be anywhere near as severe in HW as people seem to believe. Unless you're one of those people who has to collect every cool glamour item in existence, that is, but at that point you're just asking for inventory problems.

I'm honestly curious... people who have more than 2 retainers, what are you even storing on them? I ask because I have multiple gear sets (every single available set for DRG minus a few pieces here and there plus a bunch of sets for other jobs), multiple weapons (Primal & Coil), dyes (all of the retainer venture ones), glamour gear, rare/expensive crafting mats, and various and sundry other things on mine and I still have plenty of space left.

I have four retainers. Currently, one is almost completely full of soldiery/HA gear, Levi weapons, Shiva weapons, etc that I was hanging onto until we can desynth it as well as a few glamour pieces that won't go into the Armoire as of yet, blank glamour prisms, and rare dyes. That one will be mostly empty once I login to Heavensward. One is full of materials that I commonly use for Culinarian crafts (I sell a lot of food). One is full of materials commonly used for crafting equipment (a wide selection of different leathers, lumbers, cloths, ingots, and other sundries). One is where I keep things like potions that I use regularly, demimateria, soldiery mats, seeds, soil, materia, carbontwine/coat... basically miscellaneous junk. I started storing a lot of stuff in the Free Company storage like a lot of the more common mats (peacock ore, etc) because I just don't have room.

Honestly, the best part about having more than two retainers is the larger market presence you have.

Lodestone:

[2.0][3.0] New items have been added.
* Due to the volume of items added with the release of patch 3.0, they will not be listed in the patch notes.

[2.0][3.0] New recipes have been added.
* Due to the volume of recipes added with the release of patch 3.0, they will not be listed in the patch notes.

...so, maybe not doubled exactly, we don't know; but this is still definitely alarming.

Also, from that very same post still:

[3.0] New master recipe books have been added.
[2.0] New recipes have been added to the previously existing master recipe books.

Well, I guess it's time people start cleaning out their inventories then. Out with the old and in with the new.
