no armoire storage on the new garo gear?

[Alistaire]

Hello, everyone~

We'd like to give you an update as we've been receiving a lot of requests globally for this.

As this is a long-term event, we want to ensure players have ample time to collect, as well as repurchase these items again.
For this reason, there are currently no plans to make it so players can store these items in the armoire.

However, we do understand the request and want to make these items available after the collaborative event has concluded, so we're currently looking into making these items available via the Calamity Salvager.
We're planning to implement this so players will be able to repurchase the Garo-related weapon, head, body, hands, legs, and feet equipment once they have obtained the achievement for obtaining the full gear set of the respective job.

With that said, since the belt and accessories are not part of the requirement for the achievement, you will not be able to repurchase them from the Calamity Salvager.

Again, thank you for your feedback and we hope you enjoy the Garo collaboration for the rest of its duration!

Gonna go ahead and quote a post I'll leave nameless from another forum:

Comments like this are what keep me from resubbing since they remind me how (expletives deleted) backwards this game is sometimes.

Considering how little use the armoire gets I gotta agree, this is really backwards.

I'm missing the point of why you all aren't liking this..so enlighten me, because as it stands once you have the sets you can ditch them if you don't like them and keep the ones you like thus avoiding it taking up a huge amount of space and you could literally get them back whenever..

I don't really care for this solution because it shows that the developers don't have a lot of intentions towards maximizing the potential of the armoire system. Armoire in general would be a great solution to glamour hoarding woes, and yet the devs seem content on saving that system for esoteric event gear rather than making it flexible enough to include ALL of our gearing options, instead opting for bizarre "side solutions" like making us repurchase items we have already obtained once through the Salvager.

In addition, we now have a hodgepodge of items with varying methods of re-acquisition, rather than something consistent. I'll sure love Googling whether or not my event gear is somewhere buried in my Armoire or if I'll have to port to Grid to buy it back!

yeah I can understand wanting to have it be used for more things, I guess i've just gotten used to it not being used much..probably why I'm just so accepting of this.

Lol Mog Slips on the PS2 apparently had more memory to work with than the armoire. (On top of pre-existing armor storage NPCs who had more space than the armoire.)

I'm more upset that I can't turn them in for GC seals :<

Discard then?

Hello, everyone~

... items available via the Calamity Salvager.

With that said, since the belt and accessories are not part of the requirement for the achievement, you will not be able to repurchase them from the Calamity Salvager.

Why do we
1) need to keep repurchasing and DISCARDING (not even turn in for GC seals) for all the hard work we put into getting these items?
2) have to purchase using our own hard earning gil to regain access to our hard earned glamour items. why not make armoire available?
3) not make belt/accessories available regardless of they are part of achievement or not? some may want them for glamour but can't keep that many items with the VERY LIMITED inventory space available.


Also, please consider using glamour book or something - giving us access to owned items rather than taking inventory space. This also applies to 100 million tokens items SE made for various quest/relic/gear tokens. As you are hearing, inventory is very limited considering many people has multiple if not all classes leveled that requires lots of inventory space. Gathering/Crafting alone takes so much inventory as is - I can't even save glamour items even if I want to. thank you

... Can we just get a glamour book already? lol. If they're worried about ten million glamour variables just make them into sets or even dungeon sets*, a bit like FFXI - you don't even need them stored, just go smash them into a glamour pane and have Cid store it in his library or whatever.

If they really want players to be able to get the old item after turning it into a glamour slide then add some sort of reconstruction fee ("calamity salvager"). At least imo it feels really unnecessary to have these two systems separate, they'd be better joined. Some of my stuff goes here, some of my stuff goes there, this other stuff goes no where until I wait for two updates, and this stuff I don't know about... XD

Of course anything reconstructed has to be untradable/marketable, perhaps depending on price to reconstruct also not allow desynth/materia able - can achieve the first part easily without a new variable by just adding 1% spirit bind. Thoughts on locking materia/dysnth because if it's cheap to reconstruct you might be able to circumvent a lot of market stuff now, people would just reconstruct their materia binding gear, and stuff like that. It would be nice to be cheap, so might be best to lock it. The whole reconstruction thing is not really needed I imagine if glamour choices were cleared out of your inventory (you'd only keep stuff you want to use again vs "keep all things").

*I mean like say there is 20 items from dungeon boco, you need to turn in 20 items to unlock that set. And I think specifically to make the system less annoying for both SE and players it should be like you change a gear piece into a default shard of X (boco). So you could get 10 helmets and 10 chest pieces of any job from boco palace and you unlock the entire glamour catalog of boco dungeon. If they are worried about you going around rare items and using common ones, just add like "turn in 15 bright shards, and 5 blinding shards" (different tier to represent rarity, keep it simple though). One Boolean variable for an entire dungeon set worth of gear.. that shouldn't give SE data issues xD.

Preferably it would be individually though, so I could have a sort of item book - would make collecting everything a bit more specific and fun, but if data is the problem and of course with an MMO we'll have ever growing numbers of "yes/no" obtained questions.. Perhaps sets, or larger sets like dungeons, can help relieve that. I guess the next concern they'd have is less people paying for another retainer though ... lol..

At least they'll be reobtainable.

As far as I know there's no storage for unique equipment like the HW fur coat and fortempts shield. Which is a pain. Nor for the ARR garland gear.

[Darker_Midnight]

You can rebuy them from the Calamity Salvager for a nominal amount of gil. I happily discarded everything once I learned this.

Please don't ask for a Mog Slip system. More storage options or not, it was an OBNOXIOUS way to store gear. The slips themselves took up inventory space, and it could be a nightmare trying to remember which slip had the piece of gear you needed.

The Armoire is a great system for storing gear that, if you were to discard it, would be irreplaceable. It certainly has room for improvement (Maid and Butler outfits, please!!!), but it does what it was designed to do.
