ARR - 100 Inventory Limitation

[Quesse]

One thing that makes it difficult for me to manage my inventory is having to repair everything to 100% to trade/sell. This is going to be even more annoying with the implementation of the DBOX.

To fix this, I have leveled most of my DoH to 50 over the last few weeks - minus Blacksmith, I don't think I'm going to have time. And minus ALC/CUL which are useless for repairs. I just got so tired of searching for repairs, waiting for repairs, shouting for repairs.

I question the people that say you don't "need" to carry around X,Y,Z. I carry around event items, fireworks, dated clothing, other stuff just because its fun to do so. Reducing inventory and having to eliminate the 'fun' from my inventory seems sort of well .... anti-fun. I guess mmorpgs are more work than fun most of the time but they don't have to be.

SE take note: Micro-managing my inventory IS NOT FUN.

In FFXI you had 1 class you played somewhere, you didn't have to bring gear for more than 1 job. Doing an AV speedrun I end up playing WHM, then BLM, then MNK - thats 3 times as much to carry around - then food,pots,dm,crafting stuff, ....


too much.

Well as you basically stated, you carry around shit you honestly don't need to 24/7. Fireworks? Fun items, waste of space if you're hurting for space. Dated items? SB fodder unless you play dress up over tangible stat items.

Same here: its your own fault if you gonna get troubles with inv space. There is no need of carry all these junk around and if I want to i need throw out some other stuff...

I really think people are making this more of an issue than it is. Equipment in your gearsets won't take up inventory space, period, and we'll have at least one gearset per class/job.

I don't know about you, but my equipment takes up around half of my inventory space at all times, and I don't even have every class/job. Gearsets will go a long way to relieve the inventory reduction.

Gearsets and the inventory reduction will more or less balance each other out, the only real difference is that gear won't clutter your inventory so heavily anymore.

Gearsets are why I always found it to be basically gear macros while not taking space because that's exactly how it feels it's setup.

Basically, my gear is like this:

You have the WHM gear -
You have the DRG gear -
You have the Blacksmith gear -
You have the PLD gear -
You have the Fisher gear -
You have Medicines -
You have Food -
You have 2x Raise tonics -
You have Dark Matter 1-5 (multiple stacks depending) -
You have Sanction Scroll for backup -
You have Craft scrolls -

That takes up a decent amount of space. What a lot of people seem to be doing is hording EVERY single craft material and every single bit of gear they ever used or will use which is what takes up a lot more space than needed. The small alleviation you have is your retainers and the armoire.

You forget the 7 extra chars on the sever with no extra payment.

Back to the mule system......OH HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!.....NOT!

That actually is a good thing unless you plan to use all your free characters to actually use lol.

Its stupid to consider that you have to buy another "person" to hold your items. I hope that our player homes have a huge ass inventory. I dont care I have 7 free characters I dont want to do a pain in the ass log in log out mail myself login check mail dance just to get something. Nor do I think it is fair to create gameplay around us legacy players, as new players would have to pay extra just to manage that.

That being said, @OP: the 100 wont be so bad when you make all your gear sets and most if not all of your armor and weapons are out.

Also seeing as they wanted a "bag" system I dont think it would be impossible for them to have gobby bag like quests. (Something if considered would likely be done much later in the ARR timeline)

I was going under the assumption he was Legacy which is basically more than enough free characters lol. This is why we need more information about Housing, especially in terms of features if it even has a fraction of what Mog House did for storage it'll be a huge step up from now which you can only store select items..that you probably tossed out at some point anyway lol.

Even the crystal increase was temporary but it looks like we're keeping that and excess is being turned to gil.
