OMG equipment space

[FizzGigg]

This is still an issue with just 5 extra slots, example..
You have all jobs unlocked, so you are using all 20 as expected.. then comes the extra sets most will also carry. If you tank, you have a dps set and a tank set.. if you dps.. you have a coil set, and a dungeon set.. etc etc.. So lets say you only main one job, thats one slot taken. You now have 4, add pvp and you are down to 3 if you only pvp as one job. Now take into consideration spirit binding, assuming all the above you have 1 set for each job specific areas.. one crafter SB set, one gatherer SB set, and one DoW/DoM set for your main. Now your armory is full. Problem comes in when you are still leveling ANY of these jobs. You end up grabing gear on your higher jobs, that can be used later on the ones you are leveling. Which in turn leaves you no armory space to store these so your option becomes your retainers.. and if you have your crafts unlocked.. you know your retainers are pretty packed with materials.

I have both armory and inventory problems.

ARMORY
-leveling all DoH does require lots of pieces of gear. My 43 armorer needs the pieces between 43 and 50, even if my other DoH were all 50 - so i'm often carrying DoH pieces that aren't aprt of a set, but were when I leveled one DoH, and will be when I level another.
-Also, there are lots of craftable items that require materials that eiyther have to go in the armory or inventory.
-Similar issues happen with battle classes; My Cnj no longer wears battlemages, but it would be awful to get rid of it when my Acn or Thm will use it when I level them.

INVENTORY
-HQ and NQ materials make seperate stacks, and take two inventory slots. If they could stack together materials might be less cumbersome.
-Materials only stack to 99, eventhough you need like a thousand mythril, flax etc. Bigger stacks would save inventory space.
-Crafted items often require lower level crafted items - so you need to carry a huge range of materials, or be at the mercy of the market.


GENERAL
-If I'm doing my main quest, which happens to take me to the a leve location it would be nice to be able to have access to the sets of gear I need for both the main quest, and some DoH DoL leves.
-To do the DoH leves I need the inventory space, or acces to retainers and/or market boards to have the materials I need.
-To gather DoL materials I also need inventory space.




***Without better access to retainers and market boards, or more inventory and armory space the entire experience becomes bogged down by inventory managment.***

To be perfectly honest you don't need AF/Relic for every job you play. I'm aiming to level BRD and PLD but my playstyle for endgame is DRG, everyone is used to it and I'm used to it. Even now I have times where I have to remember to use certain abilities on my other jobs because I only play those situationally, BRD for farming and PLD for tome grinding. If I were to play PLD at endgame I'd get out of sync with playing as DRG and then that would leave me in a mess, not to mention full bag spaces after all my crafting/gathering gear fills it up. As some people have said, make a Patriarch set for your other jobs that you only play once in a blue moon, and shove the rest of the gear in your armoire (if it goes in) when not using it.

SE could also help out here a bit by making certain sets storable in the armoire like the crafting/gathering HQ sets and AF+2 sets (wyrm, valor etc.)

I am doing fine so far with everything but the main hand page.
With 3 DoL, 8 DoH, 9 DoW/M = 20
it's really hard to manage with only 25 slots. (relic, ex primal, allagan, titan weapon....luminary tool)
And gear switch macro only works when you put everthing in there. It wont work if the weapon is in your inventory...

If you have everything at 50, sure. But then you take into account spirit bonding gear... and vanity gear... and the fact that you're not at level 50 for all of those, and the fact that craft products take up space...

Hell, I only have Conjurer, Arcanist, Gladiator and Archer, then Weaver and Alchemist, I've run out of space way more times than I remember (intended paradox)
