A consern about space efficieny since stormblood is not getting enough space increase

[Maero]

So we are a few weeks in, certainly not enough of a "increase" of space. Though one tab has blank spaces clearly mean't for more storage, why not just open those up in one of the updates?

This is so funny, I cried inside. Inventory/retainers are an issue because of recipes requiring older mats all the time not letting us move on. So the solution is to have more retainers so you can venture them to get the mats. I will probably be gone but if trend continues old beast tribes will have something added to them in the 4.0 series which in turn will punish people who didn't sit on tokens or fate turn in items. I in no way greatly benefited from having close to 600 ixal knots when they added materia to that vendor.

Make an alt character on same server. Level up BTN on the alt. Give one of the 2 free retainers the BTN class. Level him up until lv 60. Send him out to get the mats. Sell it in the MB for 1 gil, switch to main and buy it before someone else do it (this part is easier if you have a house with garden to put your retainer in it). Or ask a friend or FC member to help with trade.

With some extra work no rented retainer is needed for venture.

1) You don't need to keep it all. Keep on hand only what is both annoying to get and used in frequently used/high price items. That cuts out most of the items.

2) Even holding on to most stuff, how in the world are you actually filling up 3675 inventory slots and finding that amount to still not be enough?

3) Hoarding to that level is both your fault and it's not the responsibility of SE to make significant development changes that would take both time and resources to cater to a behavior that is engaged in by only a fraction of the playerbase.

http://xivdb.com/item/5068/rose+gold+nugget Please check how many recipes this item goes in. Check the level spread of said recipes. I can probably find many more items like this. I just noticed that a level 50 item was in level 61 craft so SB batch of recipes. I will give you people keep stuff. If you people will admit how poorly itemized this game is.

You need 1 copper ore and 3 gold ore for it.
gold ore you can get from gathering, venture or by trading in 1 voidrake for 3 gold ore.

You are missing the point. I can get rose gold. The point is I would keep it because SE punishes me for getting rid of it. That item is something that would fall into sit on because A) its a timer(which includes ventures) B) it keeps coming back. If I have extra gold ore I don't sell it because SE refuses to let old items die to help space management. This is not the only item like this.

Not only that you said venture and voidrake. Last time I checked those also take inventory. The point is to reduce bloat not expand it.

I am also not leveling a second botanist and miner to 60 plus MSQ through HWs, so I can venture time nodes on an alt because SE doesn't understand the limitations of their system.

Exactly. Can get the material quickly enough, no reason to hold on to them.

Personally, unless it's a drop from a dungeon or raid, I don't hold on to stuff I'm not about to use (unless I forget about it, which means it makes it about a week at most before it gets tossed or sold).

You are missing the point.

You're missing the point where you are making the choice to hold on to an item you can get with relative ease because you find it less annoying.

You're missing the point that such a decision is on you, and SE shouldn't have to waste money to change things to account for your personal preferences.

Relative ease is an hour? Unless I am missing something. It was on a timer. And you are right SE shouldn't have to waste money fixing something. They should do a better job first time around. When it is a simple math for the amount of resources they have. But oh wait they can charge extra, I am sorry.

So it's on the player to have to waste the time to gather the various nonsense to re-craft items for glamour? I'm not with you there. Either a glamour catalog system or better storage is needed at this point. My retainers are loaded. I store everything I can in the armoire and I make it a point of purging anything that's a similar item model to things I want to keep and I'm still running out of space

[Syrehn]

It took WOW 7 years to get glamour right via their Transmogrification system. Please SE, don't do that. We need a glamour log. I'm really tired of hearing "It puts too much strain on the servers".

Having a proper glamour log would cut down on the necessity for so much bag space (for those using it for glamour purposes). However, more slots are still required on retainers and in our regular bags for things like crafting.
