Dev. Request: Permanent Use for Raid loot

[Danyawl]

Hey dev team, please please can we have:

Furniture Item: Weapon Stands

What are we to do with the old weapons from coils and primals we worked hard to obtain (and soon to be Alex weapons)! At the moment they're just loitering around in our inventory taking up space but we're proud of obtaining them and want to show them off! I would like to see furniture where we can display a set of weapons for a given class. This would be class specific, so for a WHM it would be a rack where the staves stand up, for SMN it would be a table top bookshelf, etc. I guess you'd make it so that you can't place the item until x weapons have been configured to display in the stand and it would be untradeable/ unsellable so only the person who has the weapons can configure the stand and place it.

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
Lethys,

A nice suggestion but...
"too much stress on servers."

I won't take that for an answer as FC housing is instanced and we have more servers incoming :P

There was mention of mannequins to display equipment last year and then complete silence on the subject ever since then. No idea what happened about it but there are dozens of housing features they've said they're working on that then just disappear like smoke.

Aye I've noticed that, this very thing had been requested back in 2.2 with a response from the dev team as well and I've been intensley waiting for it ever since. Though I know they're super busy giving players other things that they want too!

It would be nice if raid gear can be used in 5 star crafting recipes as a mat to get a stronger gear.
Of course only possible if crafted yourself (because character bounded).

It can have the same ilevel like the original raid gear, but with materia slots (and dyeable) and still character bounded.

Like just about every other serious suggestion people have made, you'll be given that answer by the community until you're repeating "limitations" in your sleep. But push on! This is a good suggestion, even if there's an excuse for why we can't have it (and many other, even simpler things) around every corner.

I'm sad that my Apocalypse Zeta is hidden away on my retainer! I'd love to be able to have it on display in my room or in the FC house. I got really excited when I saw the display stand furniture item, only to discover the only thing that looks good on it is cake.

I don't see them adding this unless they come up with more housing, if there were such a feature you'd see even more rage than you already do regarding lack of housing and locking players out of certain content. It's a nice idea, but something perhaps for down the line.

I'd put money on us getting this before we get a tackle box for fishing
