Dye Box and a Tackle Box for Key Items.

[Deveryn]

Rather than inventory space problem, to me it's more about the interface convenience. I still have about half empty space on both of my 2 retainers and I'd still want dyes to have their own exclusive storage.

As of now, when you'd like to color something, you have to have the actual dye pots in your personal bag. Depending on where you keep them, this means you have to go through several clicks to open/close windows and applying the color to whatever you're dyeing (Plate, Gear, Furniture, etc).

The reason I brought up the shard/crystal/cluster as comparison is because that's the degree convenience I'm hoping to see in the future: you can be economic by storing as needed or go all out by piling as much as you want. You (general you) barely even think about 'em anymore anytime you wish to craft something, since you just naturally... carry them everywhere. On top of that, it will also free up to potentially 115 slots, but that's just a collateral benefit and of course cutting through their $$ from additional retainers.

Carrying pigments certainly alleviate that somewhat, but it still won't cover the scripts/cowries & general purpose dyes.

I agree, but they may as well remove all the components and let us dye things at will.

In the meantime, it's not terribly inconvenient to have relevant tribes maxed and scrips and cowries available to handle one's needs... or ... make a friend with someone who has access.

I'd like to ask, anyone that feels the need to request a "tackle box" for fishing bait:

Exactly, and specifically, what fish are you trying to catch that you feel you require an entire separate dedicated inventory for the necessary baits?

I'm trying to catch hot women. They are getting smart though. They just cut the line and keep the bait.

I can tell you from prior threads here and in the DoL section, those people want to be able to hit any window when it pops.

They're probably trying to work on crafting at the same time.

Another piece of advice I would offer is to save fishing for late in the patch cycle, when the main objectives are all done. That's exactly what I did for this one and I've been checking off a lot of boxes. I'm able to bounce around to different regions because I don't have anything else jamming up my inventory. Eorzea is almost done and that's going to be a lot of space freed up.

9 retainers and still full inventory? What the hell you guys hoard on?

Dyes? I just stock the white and black color. Other rare colors are on retainer 1.
Food and pots mats? None because I just MB it.
Weapons? Retainer 2.
Armor? Glamour Dresser.
Fishing baits? Just EW latest fishing baits.
Savage books? Retainer 1.

I'm surprised there are people against players having more storage options. Or, I should say I'm not surprised, since this is the final fantasy 14 forums, where people suggest nice ideas and then get told from the same groups of people (who are never official square reps because square won't even read our forum) that it's simply not possible, not necessary, not desired, etc.

I'm surprised that there are players who continue to ask for more storage, get detailed explanations from the developers on why it's not happening then go "NAH NAH NAH I'm still not listening! Give me more storage."

We've been told many times why storage is the way it is and why they can't give us more on a whim. They do what they can as they figure out a way to do it. That's how we got the chocobo saddlebag. That how we got the glamour dresser in the first place, then an increase to its storage capacity this expansion.

You're still going to have to learn to manage your inventory. The sooner and more frequently you work on it, the easier it gets. Give it a try.

Ultimately if there's a choice between inventory slots dedicated to fishing baits and inventory slots that anything can go in, the vast majority of people are going to want the more flexible option.

Fishing baits are also a very temporary item, you finish the expansion or even just the map and suddenly you can throw away your brute leeches or desert dessert frog lure.

Honestly even if they just gave us another saddlebag or something, that'd be awesome. The moment I started leveling crafters, my inventory went straight to hell and hasn't been normal since. The FSH bait situation is so gross, and the dyes are always filling my saddlebag. Retainers storage is nice but it doesn't travel with you so it's a little inconvenient.

Not sure why you feel the need to hold onto bait when it's specific-ish to the zone you buy it in. Buy what you need -> Fish the fish til you run out of bait-> Decide if you want more bait or not.

Also, similarly, there's no need to really hoard crafting materials when you level crafters. You can do a handful of crafting Leves/beast tribe quests and hit max level in a flash. There is no reason to just have 437 iron ingots or whatever.

It's not a problem of storage space (although everyone can agree more would be nice), it's a problem of you hoarding. The moment you got double saddlebags it'd just be immediately full with MORE dye, and you'd be back to square one.

Also, as a btw, you have potential access to up to 14 MORE RETAINERS for free. Did you know? If you pay 3 months sub at a time, it's the same price as the lowest tier of monthly subscription, except you can make a total of 8 characters instead of 1. Each of those characters has at minimum 2 retainers; all you need to do is utilize your FC chest and boom- storage for days.

The place that should store up Dyes is the Glamour Dresser - accessible when changing up glamour plates. Need to get a few pots out to dye something you didnt store in there? Easy, just click the option to extract a number out.

Also to address a post above me, I think that the ability to make multiple characters per World extended to lowest-tier subscribers as well this year, but I'm not the surest of the intricacies since I don't subscribe but rather pay for game time.

I have to disagree on where to put dyes because housing uses them too.
