    Retainers and a ... function

    So with the introduction of 3.1 a week old now
    we are able to enjoy all the Quality of Life changes that were made.

    However it got me thinking.

    We can now search our Disciples of Land and Hand Log books for items...

    Why cant that same function be used elsewhere?

    What if there was a search function for Retainers in the Hunting Category?

    i don't know about anyone else but don't you get tired of sifting through all the tabs
    trying to find that one allusive item that you need for some craft?

    please let me know what you think.
    is this a good idea for a QoL change or am i asking too much?

    What I'm tired is that there should be some kind of /psort so that all of your items in all your retainers would be properly placed.

    Playing the game and spend hours just to make decent retainer inventory.. I just hope there's 1-5% that likes that. >.<

    Then we could see if we have items in double, triple, and then clean the clutter much quicker.

    but hey, SE wants us to pay-per-month for retainers!

    They know some have an addiction of keeping all items in game.

    I am just waiting for the GC ranks to unlock to give my shitload of greens..

    what about the blue ones?

    Armoire - this blackhole beast - when you implement new stuff in the game, make it so we can already put it there once we are done with it..

    sigh..

    OP - I would love to see that wherever you have the mat - on you, retainer, or FC chest - that when making a recipe, if you have one, it would be used without you having to fetch it, since you click to create the item so it has your consent already.

    So yup, I'd vouch for anything done for our Treasures..

    Couldn't you just right click -> sort your retainer's inventory? It follows the same sorting logic that your inventory does, so it should be familiar.

    You can use the "search for item"(or something similar) function when you craft... It tells you exactly how many items you have (the one you are searching) and in which retainer inventory tab it is..
    Just chose an item from crafting log/gathering log/market board and right click to select the search...

    Or you meant crafting without manually getting the item from your retainer?

    He's not talking about searching for stored items, but using the same feature in order to locate the exact Hunting Venture that sends your retainer for gathering the item you're looking for.

    open the gathering log, search for the item, see what level it is, send the retainer out in that level categorie.

    summon bell - choose retainer 1 - access items - right-click - sort - exit from retainer inventory - exit the summoning bell

    summon bell - choose retainer 2 - access items - right click - sort - exit from retainer inventory - exit the summoning bell

    When you have 8 retainers, it's a lenghty process.

    instead what I proposed here (and seems not everyone see it the way I intended) - summoning bell - retainer 1 - /sort all retainers.

    Hope it's clearer.

    And they REALLY should place an invisible circle of 3-5 yalms around the bell so no one would block it and then AFK >.<

    needing to click another person and hope he's on the summoning bell for you to gain access is plain stupid.

    and they love invisible walls so they know how to do it. that's QoL.

    They already implemented this here in 3.1... it's in the patch notes. Helped me clean up some inventory a little bit and was greatly appreciated!
