    [SUGGESTION] - Craft from retainer's inventory - Quality of life improvement

    Hello!

    I often spend a lot of time working through my retainer's inventories, especially with larger crafts and would like to make a suggestion.

    As a crafter I want to be able to use the summoning bell to craft using items from my inventory and my retainer's inventories so that I can do more crafting rather than managing my inventory.
    • Selecting "Craft" from the summoning bell opens the crafting screen
    • All inventory items are parsed and made available for crafting
    • Performing a craft first uses items from the player's inventory, then recursively through their retainer's inventories, starting from first to last
    • STRETCH GOAL - Show all retainers in a circle around the player when they access the summoning bell
    • STRETCH GOAL - Allow the player to change crafting jobs without having to exit the summoning bell
    • STRETCH GOAL - Allow the player to select which inventory(ies) the crafting components are coming from.

    Pretty sure it does say which retainer and which tab the searched item is in. I think this info only appears in the message in the chat window, though.

    We (crafters) all want this, treat the retainer as part of the inventory when near the summoning bell.

    A better improvement would be to just return only positive results or a single message for no results. I do not need 3+ lines of chat log on every search.

    Currently:
    Searching Player result
    Searching retainer 1 and result text
    Searching retainer 2 and result text
    searching retainer X and result text
    etc...

    Proposed:
    Item in Player inventory tab 3
    Item in Retain 3 inventory tab 6

    i'm pretty sure the strain on the server for fetching that amount of information at once would probably crash the system.

    Then the system is poor and needs redesigned. Several MMOs do this already.
