Adding more materials to vendors to ease on inventory space

[odie]

I currently pay for 2 additional retainers. I don't want to pay for more because I don't want to have to increase my monthly cost of playing this game. The reason for my inventory being so full is the vast amount of on hand materials that I have so that I can save time (that is already very limited during the week) making things to put on the market or for a job that I am leveling to keep the flow going.

What I'm requesting is that maybe we could be allowed to purchase materials such as the higher level ores, botany gathered materials, and maybe even mob drops from material vendors (like the ones in the housing wards). I like that we have Iron and Cotton items already available so I can clear most of this out and buy it so cheaply. Maybe at least including mythril/cobalt or velveteen/felt items would help tremendously in allowing us a fairly quick way to obtain these materials without having to go to the market board or spending extra time gathering them ourselves.

Some of those items can be purchased by leveling up your reputation with the beast tribes I would assume they are going to add more npc options with the HW beast tribes.

We're still missing silver ingots (or at least ore...) though! So I really hope we'll get those... but yes, for some other stuff you might wanna check with the beasttribe-vendors (and maybe we can get an option to place one vendor who sells stuff from all the beasttribes in the house? Hate going to the Amal'jaa or Sahagin...)

Hopefully one of the new tribes will have a ltw mat vendor, then perhaps the other for GSM. Would help things..

[chidarake]

most of the mats sub level 40 should be added to the in house vender as far as im concerned. the items above that though still have a reasonable value attached plus it gives gatherers who don't have heavensward something to gather and sell.

they would also have any timed nodes they could sell items from.

as for new mats maybe the new tribe will carry new area mats but then again maybe not. probs will have some though since the rest do

Honestly you don't need to farm that much comp...
Everything under lv35 is available on tribes... You just have to unlock them (lv1 is enough)

@Raela point taken... LTW has no help =S

@Vidu and what do you want next ? A portable market board ?
A little trip once in à while to buy a stack of ingot or milk is not that hard... (Annoying yes but you don't do it everyday)

[Vidu]

Nah, I dont need a poratble marketboard, I dont like leaving my home (and my marketboard there!) :P

I would like to correct you, Nekotee - everything under level 35? Silver ignots (as already mentioned by someone who would like to carry a market board from their workshop to the main room... wait, I want a market board in the workshop!) are level 23... and yet: no one sells them! Same goes for toad leather. I'm mentioning those two because they're used for prisms - one craft thats pretty common in my FC at least... farming such low level mats as a 60 GSM, Miner, fighter and LTW is a bit bäh...

Thing is, they don't want to ease up on inventory space usage. Otherwise they wouldn't have such a convoluted glamour system.

ok it would be nice to be able to just run to npc and buy mats, save lots of inventory space by just doing a quick teleport... but can you see how bad this would be to gatherers and crafters, that are starting up and learning the ropes? ores from npc would be killing the little cash new gatherers get for example. many of new crafters make money off selling the "low" level mats, to finance their crafting as they go up.
skins for ltw would be nice though.. a tanner npc! nobody deserves the punishment of farming those for hours no end with the current drop rates.
