    [Suggestion] Include count of HQ versions of items in tooltip. And maybe retainers?

    Just as the thread title says, it would be nice if the items held part of the tooltip also displayed how many HQ items are in your bags. It is sometimes frustrating making semi-refined raw materials such as thread and having to look in my bags when I could be mousing over the icon in the crafting window and seeing how many I've made. Something like

    NQ: 1
    HQ: 4

    would be amazingly helpful. Something that showed how many your retainer had too would be even better. Perhaps like

    NQ: 1[7]
    HQ: 4[25]

    Where the second numbers are how many your retainer holds.

    If it's important that they are sorted by which retainer has them, perhaps something like

    NQ: 1[0][7]
    HQ: 4[25][0]

    That might get messy if the ability to have more retainers is added, but still, I think it has potential. These are just my thoughts, but this kind of feature would be a huge quality of life improvement for me, and I'm sure others as well.

    This would be incredibly helpful. For crafting components, we'd know when we got up to the total number we need. For gear, we'd know if we already have an item and shouldn't buy or waste a quest reward choice on getting another, etc.

    I don't expect it's likely to include the retainers' inventories, though, since the whole point of storing items with retainers rather than just having that much more inventory space ourselves is to reduce the load of what info the servers need to keep constantly maintaining. The game servers don't know what our retainers are holding except when we go to a summoning bell and retrieve that info from the database. It's not going to go through that database download every time it needs to show an item tooltip.

    But still, even without the retainers' inventories being involved, seeing the total number of such items that we have on hand rather than just the number of NQ ones we have would be a huge improvement.
