Armor Storage: Consider upgrading Armoire or adding a new Armory Storage

[Eidolon]

Right now, I'm sure there's a lot of people like me -

You play a little bit of everything. So you have to have armor sets for -everything-. You earned a lot of armor working your way through coil, and now with the new armor bloat you don't wanna part with it.

A lot of people have given fantastic ideas - the concept of a Glamor Catalogue that unlocks from getting full sets was absolutely ingenious to me. An extra layer of 'completion' for those who want to collect them, and frees up inventory space for others.


I'd like to suggest that, while the above system is amazing and is everything we should expect from SE outside of giving us complimentary retainers (another great idea but one SE won't due for obvious reasons) that it realistically may take time.

thus I'd like to suggest they enable us to put them in our Armoires in our rooms. Doing so would free up a large amount of retainer space allowing people more freedome. It can be limited to blues and greens - and so long as its' decently sorted in its own way it shouldnt' be a problem.

Tl;dr: SE, please give us better ways of managing inventory space for all the awesome looking armor sets in the game. Thanks o/

I think Armoire don't really save the gear, but only the item ID
It have to be repaired to 100% or above (if above 100% then it get reduced down to 100%), dye get reseted to standard color, spiritbind get reseted to 0%

Yeah and that is very stupid. I don't care about spiritbonding, as if I would want to convert it, it wouldn't end in the Armoire in the first place.

If we dyed it, it's bec we like it that way. If we are tired of the looks.. we can dye it again.. now it's forcing us to dye it again >.<

they should make it so that all blue equips up to purple can be stored there.

I find it almost useless now.

been a while since i've got into an INN.. I wonder why..

It need less data space. The only thing it need to save is the gear ID and nothing else.

I find this better than a storage limit (the armoire have no storage limit)

The armoire exists to allow you to save 'special' pieces without taking up your inventory, while also minimizing the server space necessary to store them, thus all potentially unique values being reset. It's not stupid, but actually a creative solution (since for some reason they're unwilling or unable to upgrade the servers).

That said, we really need SOME storage solution for unique drops...I have almost an entire retainer full of JUST body pieces, most of another for other slots, plus three full of mats and random fishing junk since I'm an omni crafter/gatherer...

Don't get your hopes up, they still haven't even updated it so we can put the augmented AF sets from 2.3 in it like the normal AF, that's 1 year 3 months and 9 days with no mention of it ever changing in the future.

Saving only the Item ID would be perfect for Blue items, which the majority are not-dyeable. Even if they lose the dye, it's still better than our current situation - where the heavy bloat of items means you might, as a player who pays a sub for the game, have to abandon some pieces of your armor to compensate for SquareEnix's unwillingness to assist players with storage for items they earned.

(Forgive me if I misunderstand your point)

Hahah. I know that sensation all too well man. I only got to the inn during events to deposite the most recent seasonal items. Call it a collector's twitch I suppose.

Same situaton here - I have two retainers filled to the BRIM with bodies, gloves, boots, weapons of blue/purple variety. All items I've earned from playing the game. It's why I really think making it so we can store them in the armoir would be reasonable - they're not dyed, so you could store your vanity items in lieu of the current system not offering a good alternative.

Keh! You're absolutely right. XD Didn't even think about those Augmented items (Or even the AF2 that came after.) That's mildly depressing. I can still hold hope that SE will actually give us a decent system with how much bloat they've already put in, though!

I would give my tail for some sort of storage solution for gear beyond retainers.
