Inventory issues still exist. Why keep adding gear to the game and not room? Glam log

[Aarik]

No Aarik, you don't understand. You aren't an OMNI crafter, so you have no say in this according to the OP. You have to meet their criteria first before you can have any meaningful opinions on the matter, unless you agree with them, then its ok.

Yeah.....it's much like talking to a brick wall, only more hard-headed. Oh, and does anyone else love the supreme irony of the OP screaming 'stalker!'....as the OP digs through each and every person's lodestone who disagrees with them? Heck, I bet OP digs through our forum posts as well.

Sorry, but you just aren't listening to what I am saying.

My definition of omnicrafter is simply you have all crafts at 70. The majority of the recipes do not need specialist so simply put Ican craft 95% of the items from every crafter type on one character.

That is not what an omicrafter is, anyone can get crafting levels to max level, it is easy because of leaves. Just because someone has them at 70 does not mean they use them like I do or go though tons of different materials like I do. I craft an awful lot, and I know I am an outlier because of it. Also the spec synths are the inventory eaters, as said I done favors for people that required 4 trades because they take sooo many items. Having max level and crafting causally is way different to the scale of crafting what I do, and the inventory I need to keep up + glams.

After reading through 16 pages I can certainly say that this is not the case....

Stating the truth =/= insults
Me> there is not enough room even with 8 retainers to craft and glam
A select few> you are a hoarder and keep throw away materials < this is the insult
Me> you think that because you do not do much in the game and craft as much as I do < stating the truth, not an insult

Oook. Wow. I've only read up to page 12 so far, but this is ridiculous. OP's constant and rather annoying habit of lodestone checking EVERYONE who disagrees with them is petty and tedious at best...but hey go ahead and search mine while you're at it.

What would the point be? you know what you are talking about. Anyways I was talking about more of the lack of on hand inventory and needing to keep exchanging with retainers and such, waste of time. Now that i think about it, that suggestion let us craft from our retainer's inventory sounds more appealing. But yes it is mostly glam gear, I stated that, and when you have a rare dye on the base, you simply do not store it in the armour because it destroys the dye.

Need a glam log and expanded currency tab, that is all, I shouldn't be paying all this money for retainers. Being harassed over that fact is not acceptable (not directed to you, just talking about others) I am not the issue here, I shouldn't have been insulted in the first place because the game does not give enough space.

6 retainers are glam, 1 retainer is currency (since 4.1 this is gonna be some crafting overflow, note some, there isn't enough room to put everything I like to in it) , 1 retainer is crafting mats + my full inventory is crafting mats. I would like 3-4 retainers be for crafting mats to split between types but.. no room for that.

...You have 6 retainers with items JUST for glamour? That is... very excessive. I'm sorry but do you even use 1 retainers worth of that stuff? Are you changing your armour around every day or something? You're claiming inventory issues in the game when... that is literally on you hoarding every piece of equipment you can basically.

[Ozglacius]

I am an omnicrafter myself, I craft on a daily basis. I have 3 dedicated specialist characters at level 70 except GSM and CUL for now on the third alt. (The main character has full LV70's for DOTH and DOTL) The first one for BSM, ARM and CRP, the second for WVR, LTW and ALC, the third GSM, CUL and an empty specialist slot for now. I can happily say I have a lot of space on my retainers with fully crafted items and base materials with multiple stacks of certain items such as the sands and ores for example, I have 8 retainers on each of these characters and I am big on glamour myself so store a whole ton of sets and get by just fine, including things that don't fit inside the Armoire such as promotional gear or the dungeon dropped gear. I wonder to myself just how many sets of glamour you have, especially given that we can put quite a few of the sets in the Armoire o_o.
I personally feel that 8 retainers is an incredible amount of breathing room and I myself love to hoard things :-P

lol there isnt enough room to horde all the gear, biggest things are the deep weapons ( i like them and used them for glam before) and most of the poetic gear for mix and matching. I have 1 retainer that is my main glam gear, ones I use the most and where I put my rare dye base in, and I have another that has 60-70 gear (you know those glam sets from the 63 DF? Those are in here) that I like and plan to to use on my jobs, Ofc 175 spots is not enough to "horde" all 60-70 gear , most of it is sealed once I replace it though leveling. I only keep some big stepping stone gear sort of speak, like the 65 stuff and the 63 glam gear, rest is turned into seals. So 2 retainers have some space, this one I am talking about and the currency one (due to the currency tab) but I was hoping for more currency to go in it.....


(Keep in mind I am 60-70 with all my jobs so saving some gear for jobs I plan to level next makes sense since I am going to use it) Also I save no 69 gear, there is no point in that since you get 70 so quickly, so all that gets sealed (please dont assume anything) Basically that retainer is 63 and 65 gear, little of anything else, cept some weapons. Once all jobs are 70 that retainer is def getting cleaned out, while keeping the 63 stuff ofc.

You have 3 characters times 8 retainers each? ofc you don't have to worry about room... not everyone can tolerate doing that dreaded MSQ 3 times.

So that is the requirement to be functional now? (to dev team of FFXIV) do you see this as an issue yet?

[ErryK]

especially given that we can put quite a few of the sets in the Armoire o_o.

There's quite a few things you can put in the armoire but biggest offenders that STOP me from placing stuff in the armoire are these two facts:

• Augmented gear cannot be placed in the armoire.
• Any dyes are removed from said gear.

If I need to craft or grind for the gear, and it cannot be placed in some form of storage besides retainers, I will be holding onto it, especially when I've dyed it something like Jet Black or Pure White which go upwards of 1m+ Gil on my server.

If they make it so the dyes are no longer on a consumable system and are instead unlocked and can be used indefinitely, it would open up a lot more breathing room for myself as I can then put a lot of gear back into the armoire, but that's just me. I know people who are functional with putting away gear that's dyed with a rare dye with no qualms, I could never do that. xD

I myself also have 8 retainers, of which 6 are glamour, but I don't complain about the inventory as my inventory is usually hovering around 70-90 out of 140 slots free. I only have one retainer with crafting materials, and last one for materia, who used to be housing but now that we have the storeroom, he's got more space now.

[Ozglacius]

That's a fair point Erryk but it would take a lot of golden dyes to fill 8 retainers and that makes my wallet quiver, haha. They are around the same price on my server too, give or take.
I do like the idea if they could make it so that you could store your gear while they had dye applied to them, it could perhaps open up some more breathing space.
We have been given a lot of excellent methods to store, hopefully more for the future but I am highly sure that SE considers this when they impliment new features or materials (Your previously mentioned storeroom comment for example) :-)

And Snow, that is my own personal choice to create a small army of crafters, it's not mandatory since you can switch your crafting specialists if you wanted to on a weekly basis using Scrips. I just personally prefer to keep certain characters to certain specs, especially since I also have desynth very high on a lot of them and it goes hand in hand with the respectable specialists. :-)

gold isn't rare, or cost that much, the ones you can't store are ones that use pure white or black, even the new dyes are under pink already.

Outside pink, white, black, I store.

Also for the last thing you said only works after 4.0, before then you where time gated. If you did not have 3 chrs you wouldn't have enough inventory to do that with 8 retainers only.
