Real question is, why are you caring around more gear then need? Even if you were to have a gear set for each of your roles, there would be more then enough space to change when you need too.

Suppose at 3.0 upon launch you have all your jobs at 50, including DoH/DoL. You unlock the 3 new jobs.

• Tank Lv 50 rings x2
• Healer Lv 50 rings x2
• STR Lv 50 rings x2
• DEX Lv 50 rings x2
• INT Lv 50 rings x2
• DoH Lv 50 rings x2
• DoL Lv 50 rings x2
• VIT Lv 30 rings x2
• MND Lv 30 rings x2
• DEX Lv 30 rings x2

That's 20 rings.

Now you level your main job up to 60. There goes 2 extra rings. You level your second job to 60, another 2 extra rings. When you want to level your 3rd job to 60...guess what. You don't have enough space to carry all the rings you need.

Now mix in DoL/DoH at different levels. And there's a real need to have a bigger AC, at least for rings.

Can you link the thread where this was answered ? I tried searching and it yielded nothing.

Edit:

I found a link, on the forum, to a reddit post:

Q: With addition with new jobs in Heavensward, player inventories and armory chest space will start to suffer. Any plans to increase storage space, perhaps with quests similar to Final Fantasy XI or something along those lines?

A: First and foremost we've heard this question asked multiple times around the world and we want to mention that in Final Fantasy XIV just the sheer volume of the character data and the number of items each character can hold is much greater than that of a typical MMO. The reason why we can’t increase the size of the armory chest quickly or easily relates to how often we rewrite the data into the servers in the back end. We rewrite the data every fifteen seconds so even if the server goes down you don’t experience a rollback. Of course with the sheer volume of the character data when you expand the armory chest the amount of load that goes into the rewriting and refreshing of the back end servers would increase and we’re trying to keep it as quick as possible. We currently have it at fifteen seconds but if we were to add more load to it then it may make it take longer to do that refresh and it may delay to thirty seconds, one minute, fifteen minutes. We don’t want to take away from the player experience. We don’t want things to slow down because we’re expanding the armory chest. We’re researching ways in which we can make that happen. We need more time to make that happen. We’re not saying it’s impossible but your patience would be appreciated as we try to figure out a way to optimize the process so that it won’t take away from the speed and affect playability or the player’s experience. We are trying to implement something that can be addressed quicker which is increasing the number of retainers. So in the mean time we if you are using things within the game fairly frequently you may want to utilize the expanded retainer capabilities.

I want more space too but since I can't have it now, I just have to solve the issue by getting rid of those ironwork gears from 2.X once I get better things to equip. these ironwork gears are ugly as hell and I don't want to use them for glamour anyway.

Why hasn't there been any increase in Armoury Chest space yet? We get more items to wear and now have 3 new classes and still no updates??? With all of my class specific gear, it is becoming a constant burden to have to repeatedly move things around just so I can switch jobs. At least make the change intuitive to where it puts gear in my Inventory automatically if there's no room in the Armoury chest. I'm getting tired of the "Insufficient Armoury Chestspace" Whenever I want to switch to another class.

Low budget servers with severe character data limitations

With every class (except for 1) at 50 or higher, my weapons slots only have 2 spaces left, I've had to put all my relics into my retainer for this, we will need some more space if they bring out any more classes/jobs though

Why would you carry around your old weapons once you've leveled past them anyway? o.O

The only slot I've really had problems managing is rings.

Other options would have feature were your retainer has preset up job mannequin's tab with slot's to gear up, and when you change jobs that gear set would be replaced with what was slotted on mannequin's if even possible /shrug

Funny how money instantly fixes server issues.

All of HW so far has been working towards preventing people from playing multiple classes to the fullest whether its battle or doh/dol classes.

I just came back to the party and am level 57 in the middle of all the Heavensward quests. Genuinely curious, what are they doing to try and deter you from playing multiple jobs?
