Small QoL Improvements

[Brightamethyst]

What they really need to do is just add a learned/unlearned indicator to the tooltips of all 'learnable' items (minions, rolls, cards, bardings, etc.) If a minion drops "have I already learned this" is a waaaaaaaaaaay more useful piece information than "is there currently one in my inventory?"

(Yes, please.) Where gear has a red or blue "can't use" X in the bottom left corner, acquire-once items should have a blue X if you've already acquired it. They'd need to make sure those Xes appear in the loot list and/or tooltips though, not just once the item is in inventory.

I have a few things.

Why can't I have the crafting gui open when interacting with my retainers. How am I to know what mats I need from my retainer when I can't open the gui to see what I need.

The DRG sprinting animation when you have your weapon out doesn't loop correctly.

Lowkey one of the most annoying things in FFXIV is the way the crafting window hides when you check your retainers. To add insult to injury, even if you click the lock on the Raw Materials list... it still disappears when you go to manage your retainers, meaning you have to reopen the craft window, and then go back to your search, and then scroll back down the list to what you were looking at. Combined with the fact you have to cancel a craft or close the craft window to change classes means a lot of fighting the UX for even the most mundane of tasks.

I hate this so much... Why do I have to open and close the crafting menu a hundred times in order to craft a single item?

A QoL improvement I would like is higher resolution Icons for those of us that use enlarged hotbars.
They just look so ugly when magnified because all it does is stretch the asset.


See how much crisper and more vibrant the standard size is?


Some other changes I would like to see.

- An option to set any UI element to hide/show itself automatically while either in/out of combat or while reading dialogue.
*Maybe even a setting to make them fade in and out, rather than instantly being shown or hidden.

- The removal of any mana/resource bar from classes that do not use them. (Why on earth my MCH has a mana bar is beyond me.)

- The following VVV

Please add an auto-chat log feature.

A Feature that automatically hides the chat log when its not in use, and then the chat log reappears when new text or messages appear.

This feature existed in 1.0 as well as exists in the other Final Fantasy MMO that is more than 11 years OLDER than this Final Fantasy MMO.

Having to manually hide, and "check" the chat log is not a substitute for this feature.

With an adjustable duration for chat visibility this would be fantastic.

I'd love more class specific UI settings. Let us hide the exp bar on max level classes, let us hide the MP bar on classes that don't use it, etc.

These are just some little QoL things I've noticed with the glamour system (aside from just logging every item we loot as a possible glam and not needing in the dresser/inventory)

Armoire

• Class Sets
  I wish I could store the armor sets that class quests hand to us at like level 50 and 80... For now they are just taking up space in my glam dresser that I would rather use for other items like dungeon drops or glam-only gear (which could also go in armoire in its own section but I digress)
• Mogstation Items
  Some of the clothing sets from mog are from past events and by that reasoning get a spot in the armoire anyway, but it would be nice if all gear from mog could go into the armoire, maybe as its own tab?
• Relic Weapons
  Again with the whole taking up space in my glamour dresser, getting old relic weapons that are no longer useful for stats is only for glam so.. why not? It'd be best if we could shove all stages of the weapon into there, but even just being able to put the final stage would be great

Glamour Plates
There is the option to link glamour plates to class sets (which is very nice!! I love it) But the issue I have with that is that there are not enough plates for every class..
As of now, there are 15 plate options. Which, if you go by role only, is enough for all roles and a little extra. But if you go by jobs... there are 17 battle classes, blue mage, 8 crafting classes, and 3 gathering classes. So (optimally) there'd be 29 plates and another for each added class. Even if there's just 1 for crafting and one for gathering that is only 20 plates, not much more than we have already! Just... please ;w; there is so much class specific gear

It'd be cool to have a glam dresser in house but iirc we can't because some server space / loading times issue

On another note: It would be nice if we could see an expansion to the Rising Stones, from the outside it looks as if it is multiple stories but we only get one inside, and no high ceiling to justify it either
I think it would be nice if we could see the private rooms of the scions, and maybe even throw in a room for the WoL. The WoL's room wouldn't be a place where other players could go into though. It'd be nice as a place where you could put all the random furniture you pick up from MSQ or events without having to fight for the private housing.
This could be back added into when the Scions get to the Rising Stones with shut doors to represent new characters in the Scions who join later and the doors open once you unlock them (ex: Krile), and maybe have a room for Minfilia even after she's gone as sort of memorial. The Solar should also get a rework as more of a meeting room than just an empty desk in the middle ;-;
(could throw in little references like a nutkin in Thancred's room hehe)

Lv45/chest50 original AF1 (iLv50/chest55) gear is armoirable. You could also toss them if you want, as they're available from a Calamity Salvager.

Lv50 AF1+ (iLv90) gear is exchangeable for Antique tokens from Snowcloak, Qarn HM, and Sastasha HM, which is easy enough to get--after a few unsyncked runs you can have the whole set in a matter of minutes. Just toss what you're not using.

Also, AF1 has a dyable version, so AF1+ is unnecessary unless you super want the exact color scheme of the AF1+.

Lv80 AF4 from not-Gerolt can be repurchased from not-Gerolt for free. Toss.

Relic Weapons that you have completed have Replica versions that can be purchased for pennies, so just toss any relics that you aren't specifically keeping to use for Ultimates that cap at that relic's level.
