So I'm sure there are many players out there buzzed out by small character storage; having to store mats and gear onto multiple retainers.

As a craft, you would want all the mats you have at the tip of your fingertips; instead of having to sort through a maze through your retainers.

So I have a few ideas to 'fix' this.

1. Have an option to access every item stored within your retainers while you are near a bell. So when you want to craft, instead of having to draw out mats every time; as long as you are near a bell you will have instant access while crafting.
a. Maybe implement it as a option to recall all retainers from selling at mb until you are finished with your crafts.

2. Housing/Private Rooms
a. This one is quite simple. Just make a crafting workshop within your room or house (good for personal housing). Then you can store; say up to 1000 units. Crafting within the workshop will give you instant access while crafting.
