Inn room Armoire

[gintoki88]

Can someone explain why the Armoire in the inn room is so stubborn and restricted?

We can put our class lvl 50 gear in there under Artifact that we get from our end job quests.
But we cant put our AF2 Gear in there we get from trading in myth, let alone darklight gear.

We can put all previous seasonal gear in there from stuff such as the Reindeer Gear but we cant put our santa/snowman gear in it.

We can put Achievement items we get from Achievements in there but we cant put in items from EX HARD modes in it.

Is there a reason why they haven't just allowed us to put any gear in it?

Frustratingly restrictive? Unnecessarily cumbersome? That's Squeenix for you.

kind of waiting for someone to come by and just say PS3 Restrictions.

[gintoki88]

kind of also confuses me that as to why we can give soul stones to our retainers and move them around like they are a piece of gear.

Think it has more to do with it being a "temporary" thing until housing and possible storage there.

The only items that can go in the armoire
Are those who cannot be reobtained by any means.

AF gear cannot be reacquired, ever.
Achievement items cannot be reacquired, ever.
Event items cannot be reacquired after their event is over.

That is the basic rule of the armoire

Event items cannot be reacquired after their event is over.
Santa and Snowman gear can not be placed in it

other then that what you said seems like the case.

You think they'd update the armoires for event items when the event is added, instead of waiting a month or two after the event to be able to store it.

I agree that the armoire needs a serious expansion of what can be stored in it. I'd like to store relic/zenith weapons. Other things like Primal or Darklight items would be nice too.

You'd think they'd have "borrowed" this system from FFXI: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Porter_Moogle, but I guess people would have complained about this becoming FFXI-2 or something. The way SE does thing is usually around every update they allow previous event items to be stored, otherwise, yeah it's pretty useless. Lots of people may be asleep so I doubt you'd get "PS3 limitations" from the people who always forget that FFXI is a PS2 game and does more than ARR does in some areas :x

New event items don't get allowed in until a later patch, ie Snowman and the Horse Kabutos. Snowman outfit will never be allowed in, because you CAN get it again. It's tradeable. You can stock up on them, give them to alts, whatever. So that will never be allowed in.
