Is it time we had another free retainer?

[Skivvy]

What point? You don't have one, you literally are just in here bragging about what you have in an off alt account. Nobody cares what you craft.

But MY point (which if you read you would see) is that SE can do much better than the current state.
Like a Glamour Log that unlocks the glam when the item is looted. Then you can sell/whatever.
Or adding all the damn books and totems and currencies to tabs
etc
etc

Yea, it USED to be worse. but...... It CAN be MUCH BETTER!

Not that you were referencing GW2 specifically, but I'd be thrilled if they would blatantly steal the following from that game:

*Glamour log - glam image/skin is saved instantly - no need to save the physical item if you just want it for glamour.
*Proper currency tab
*Material bank - I believe just about every last crafting item has a home in the separate material storage. Doesn't clog up your actual inventory at all
*Large bank storage (separate from inventory and shared across account)


Those alone would help tremendously with the storage woes.

Some things XIV could do help on its own:

*Cut down the insane item bloat. The amount of crafting/gathering that can be found in game is staggering.
*Add a tackle box. Or if they don't want to go that route (which they should), simplify bait further
*Improve the glamour wardrobe to be more functional. Add more plates, allow plates to be created/made/applied anywhere. It's a bit of a pain to use now, and quite limiting.
*Allow cash-shop outfits to be stored either in armoire or purchasable from Calamity Salvager. Seriously - people are paying a dear premium for these items, and then on top of that lose out on inventory/retainer space as it can't be kept anywhere else. I guess we should just buy that extra retainer, right? (heavy /s)
*Fairly minor, but make all gear items dyeable. Stop making dyeable/undyeable versions of the same thing. Also, do we really need ~100 separate flower hairpieces just because of color variations?
*Utilize the existing currency tab - Why do only a small portion of items go on there? If an item's only use is to be used as currency to obtain an item, it should go here.

I'm sure there are plenty more ideas out there, but that's my starting list for now. I should add, since I highly doubt they will change any of the above, I feel we need at least 1 or 2 additional free retainers.

as a crafter i def agree on item bloat but they have gotten a lot better at reusing old materials.

But for example they could go and remove all the old branches and just replace em with logs, would shave a few items off... and just stop with that stupid X-sand + X-ore... one version per metal is fine, we dont need more...


Edit:
Yes same for tokken, just condense em per tier.
