Why I need more retainer

[C-croft]

I crafted one of every housing item in the game (close to 300.) Have 30 cans of every color dye. All of the fishing bait / lures / two-star fish (that may someday be used.) All of the ingredients needed to craft any two-star item I need at whim. The level 90 gear of various jobs I can't use yet. All of the primal / trial collectables. Vanity gear etc.

I couldn't fit it all in two retainers and a Free Company chest; so I had to use a mule and both of its retainers are nearly full now as well. I need more room =P

This^
I am sure this is a common theme for players.
I don't even craft full time since but have been working on leveling my DoW and DoM. I was in the same boat. All retainers filled, armoury maxed and armoire full. One retainer is maxed with nothing but crafting mats. If it wasn't for the fact I now intend on Plvling my crafts through the MB and leves, I would be screwed. Even if I did craft, I would have had nowhere to put the crafted item.

If you're a collector, which this game has plenty to collect for vanity purposes (god knows how insane this will be come 2.2 also)... then you desperately need a third retainer.

Three will do, I think 3 needs to be the new baseline/default.

AF gear and seasonal gear can be placed in your inn armory chest for more room.

Also darklight.

Can't store darklight. I have been tossing darklight for space. I don't want to toss primal weapons, though, and am irritated by what actually CAN be stored at inn armory.

My retainers are full of crafting items that I use all the time. I craft every week. Thank you SE for more retainers.

You could have just made the first post say "Fishing supplies"

We need a third retainer. This is a subscription game. We shouldn't have to pay EUR/USD/GBP for it. Make it free or gil.

people seem to forget that each large patch allows more stuff to be put into the armoire.

Anyway, the easy answer is to dump/stop hoarding all that unnecessary stuff. Turn it in for GC seals, vendor it* or toss it.
*In the early days, I used to hold on to mats I might use. However, with the way the economy was going, it was better in the long run for many items to vendor it early and buy back later. You can even make gil in some cases as the item may have dropped below vendor sale value on MB.

However, for those who somehow manage to fill 350 slots on their retainers, I agree that additional storage (not a retainer) should be purchased with gil or even a gobbie bag type quest, rather than real money. An additional retainer (due to the ventures, whatever) should be optional with real money--akin to mules, etc. of ffxi.

Of course, SE could say "Screw you, we'll just make more cowls / tin cans to save you an armor slot!"

So you are a hoarder OP, its ok you can pay $2 soon and solve your problem.

Stop hoarding gear/1gil items/put things in the armory.

With my main account having all 50's I have a completely empty retainer with like 2 pages of just junk because im lazy.

Just out of curiosity, how much gil do you have? I've always wondered how lucrative it was to play the game like this. To me Hoarding = Currency. Being a Builder of the Realm/Provider of the Realm you increase your value as an Artisan by selling gear/items to players at a discount with "No matts required".

That being said. I always keep stock of crafting materials (which fill up quickly). 1 Retainer is purely Food items/Materia. The other Retainer is purely Ore/Wood/Cloth/Leathers and my FC Chest has 3 pages full of Farmed/Gathered materials. More retainers could not have come any sooner imo.

Sitting on 4M and i will be purchasing 4 more retainers on Day 1.

They added crafting tools which I use every week - makes no sense. Some things can't be exchanged for company seals and even if they could, seals are capped or just about capped.

And as for crafting items. I only purchase items when I run out. Not gonna purchase 99 of the one item I need every time I craft.

And I agree with Butta. That is what I do too.

um can't you stick most of that stuff in armorer in mog house cause I am pretty sure you can.
