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

[Lycieus]

I say give us an extra retainer per expansion and we shouldn't have any issues at all.

This is hopelessly optimistic. Even if it lasted to the next expansion, we would be having this discussion again at that time. This is a systemic issue.

esp when people do not have enough room having 8 right now due to keeping items for glams and large amount of crafting materials needed to craft.

Or allow for more things to be stackable like i have mention countless times :/
Maps, gathering collectibles and so forth

Why should maps be stackable if you can't have more than 1 of the same map anyway?
gathering collectible I can understand, if more than 1 have the same collection number.
It is the same reason why NQ and HQ items don't stack together

Would be nice if there was some way to stack complete, or even partial, gear sets. Then the "gear stack" would only take up one slot.

A bit like the "box" that you get for the rdm and sam quests, but backwards. Oh, and you can glamour from it, because, you know, we like convenience.

Being able to box up the PLD item set, or the WHM item set, now that I'm no longer using it. That would be amazing and would go a long way tbh. I'd make it full sets only though (except maybe minus the weapon due to shared gear sets for healers, tanks, casters, ranged, and SAM/NIN, artifact gear however could be full set including weapon, and shield for PLD). Would be nice to clear out different sets that are taking a lot of room. Perhaps you could then store the boxes in the armoire too? Would mean more items, but less items at the same time, if that makes sense.

That actually sounds similar to how the gear storage worked in 11. Way to much gear spread over way to many jobs. Their dev team came up with a solution. Not a great solution, but with limited resources devs have to be creative. Or just blame the player base and hardware. I guess both work.

So Basically if I understood the warnings and the way it seemed to work (it has been a long time). You trade all the gear to the Moogle. Then he gave you a holding slip. But it felt like the moogle was actually a vendor and the slip was currency. If you lost the slip the gear could not be restored. So instead of figuring out a way to store something on each character with hardware limitations. They created a vendor that just needed to have the gear for sale for an item you could only get by trading(selling?) gear to it.

One bottled, one opened, one per retainer, up to 20 in mailbox

are you having people mail you maps? or do you have separate accounts you mail yourself with?
I'm just curious, I do treasure hunts but dont always have time to go do my map a day, or people to do the group ones with.

The game took a lot of protections though, you could not toss the slip or get rid of it unless it did not hold anything.

It basically worked like this, One slip would hold AF gear, so for this game say all the 45-50 job specific gear, on one slip, so that is up to 75 gear slots for 1 slot of space, then they had +1 gear( our augmented equivalent) on a different slip and just kept going.

So if they have to do that here we would need AF, AF augmented, AF 90, AF 200, AF 210, AF 290, mog station slip,
Im not sure for the rest, would like some crafter and gather sets, ironworks, ... OH~!
ironworks set, augmented ironworks set, augmented shire, shire, diabonlic set, the set that drops in weeping, the set that drops in void ark, the set that drops Labyrinth of the ancients, set that drops syrcus tower, world of darkness, Coil gear, Alexander gear, deltascape gear, fate glam slips... Now that I think about this, I am not sure if that slip system would work for this game, because this game as way more sets and gear then FFXI did. Now if you consider the ages of the game, it is quite impressive of the turn over rate this game has for gear. You wonder why people complain about space so much and those that want glamor from the different places? well now you know, too much gear, too little room, too much items.

We really just need a new inventory management system, they basically addmiting retainers can't handle anymore.. so if part of the reason is because they interact with the MB, hold their own gil , etc, straining the server for more memory, then it needs to be split off and make a new system, bank like every other game in existence, they can sell more pages to the bank for a 1 time fee, while people put items up on the mb themselves.

Well you can have more than one at the same time you just need to store them on your retainers or send them per mail. I do also question why we cant just stack them. You can only gather them onces a day anyway so its not like we would have too many maps around.

are you having people mail you maps? or do you have separate accounts you mail yourself with?

Well one needs to be friends to be able to send stuff so I am guessing that they just send them to friends. Kinda like: Send them to friends and let them send it back to you. This way you will have them in your mail and as long as you dont open them you can stock them there.
