Removal of Slot-Cost Accessory limitation

[OmegaNovaios]

If SE really want to keep the slot limit it would be nice to see the slots increase as your physical level or class rank increases. The 12 slot limit is really painful, especially for GSM who find it difficult to sell 4 slot accessories because most people realise you gain more benefits wearing the lower ranked 3 slot accessories.

I think this is a very good fix. Not being able to use all gear slot is annoying. Also, I find that generally more lower costing accessories compared to fewer high costing accessories makes no reason for an upgrade other than having fewer repairs. Either increasing accessory slot points with Rank or making minimum accessory slot Rank requirements for each accessory individually.

Thank you. this is a very important issue that Square-Enix needs to address. There is no purpose for such a system.

Honestly while it's not that big of an issue, it's still an issue. There's no reason for such a system to exist, they should have just balanced out the accessory stats from the start.

The devs should use this as an opportunity to encourage more horizontal leveling (ranking up more than one class).

Give each class a class quest at rank 20 and rank 30 that grants one additional accessory cost point. This would give everyone a reason to rank up more than one class.

If you rank up every class to at least 20, you'll have 30 slot points, and if you rank each class up to at least rank 30, you'll have 48 slot points.

I like this idea.

Not to have a dig at you personally but I think you might not see the effects of the current system as you should only be using lower level gear which has a low slot cost so you can equip a lot more items than a higher level can when the slot costs increase.

As others have said I would like the slot amount to increase as you level, I don't like having a lot of empty slots ; ;

Also as a Goldsmith the current slot cost has a huge effect on the demand for higher level gear due to it's high slot cost, so it makes it difficult to sell.

I 100% agree with this!

Also add level restrictions to the gear please.

Why are so many people calling for gear restrictions? We already have them - you really don't get much benefit from a piece of gear until you're within a few levels of it.

I have to agree with this. Giving specific slots (Ring & Bracelet, ears and neck) and then limiting to a slot total is just confusing, Especially to newer players I would assume. Just another case of being different to be different..

When I first started playing, it took me all of about 30 seconds to realize how the system worked when tried to equip an extra piece of jewelry and couldn't. It's not a complicated system by any stretch.

No, I see the effects, I just don't think they're a big deal. The system simply maxes you mix and match, rather than just throwing everything into an open slot. It's mildly more strategic, which is a good thing in my book. I think it's mostly a case that people don't like it because change is scary. That, or they simply can't be bothered to actually think about what they're equipping.

What I find interesting is that this limit only applies to "accessories". I wonder if they intended to introduce gear (armor and stuff) that increase slot limit.

The problem is that the system is incredibly vague and most people don't know how to look for the actual effects of the gear. What's listed on the card for the gear is not what you get and that honestly doesn't make any sense to me. Rank requirements are fine and people who use the current system properly should have absolutely no problems with them as you already impose the requirement upon yourself.

That's the problem though, it's only "mildly" more strategic. It doesn't add much value to the system as it is. If they just balanced out the stats of accessories as a whole and let us wear whatever we want there wouldn't be any discussion about it. You still have choice and should still think about what you're equipping. The gemmed pieces of jewelry still give you options whether you can equip 2 or 6.
