Inventory space

[Aivi_lo]

Yes...I know....this thread again. But I can't help it. I've just received the maid and butler set and caught up with the rest of the world. Yay, it's great but it's another 10 items I don't have space for I guess I thought it would be storable in the armoire.

I don't pay for extra retainers as I don't believe I should have to for something so basic. I constantly throw out things I'd rather keep but finding space for this additional 10 items has really pushed me to the limit.

I'm lucky enough to have a house that I really enjoy decorating, but keeping bits for that and then glamour, crafting items and gear changes..... You need to provide storage for all the great stuff you are giving us! (cough without trying to make us pay more on top of our subs)

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can you sort out storage?

We could have a lot more storage if we didn't have all this pointless bloat >_>

Glamour prisms - One is enough, we don't need to segregate by craft and rank.
Dyes - Let them be unlocked once, then usable forever.
Glamour items - Implement a separate glamour catalogue that stores ID and appearance of items so we can ditch the original, that's much less data than also storing stats, HQ/NQ status, condition, materia and spiritbonding information >_>
Tokens and turn-in items - Into the currency tab

The last remaining bastion of bloat would then be crafting mats. But you'd probably have two empty retainers for those by then, so hey!

I agree with this 100% as well!! If there was anything I liked from GW2 (when I played it briefly), it was the wardrobe and dye systems. All you needed to do was 'learn' the appearance or dye color and boom, you had them forever. No need to keep clothes around or keep dye bottles to clutter up your inventory. WoW also now has a very similar system for Transmog, which I am VERY thankful for. If SE could implement something like it as well, it would be a HUGE help for inventory space.

Oh damn. I really do have my retainers and myself filled with crafting mats. I don't want to throw them out because leveling my crafters without them would be a pain in the butt, but.....I have zero inventory space. Absolutely zero.

Well, at this point it's just easier to just sell the mats that are easier to make, and keep all of your rare and hard to make ones. Like, Ureus skin, and Hard hypogryph leather. If you know that you can craft them at rates of 80-100% premium quality: then yeah, get rid of them.

It's also kind of amazing that maid and butler outfits AREN'T storable in the Armoire. This is exactly the kind of thing the Armoire was built for: equipment that can't be replaced, and that players would be reluctant to discard.

Armoire could be used to store any gear items if they extended it slightly to allow the condition of the gear to be retained. I don't really see any reason why we cannot take all our gear that we seldom wear or bring out to glamor onto something occasionally and put it in the Armoire. I don't see any balance issues since the worst thing that could happen is acquiring a duplicate, which we can already do by storing things on a retainer.

Glamour prisms - One is enough, we don't need to segregate by craft and rank.

Glamor prisms are crazy since you already have to have the right kind as well as the level. A major help would be to let higher level prisms work for all item levels below them, then you could keep just level 3/4 prisms for each craft to cover the majority of things.

Dyes - Let them be unlocked once, then usable forever.

Dyes are consumable, and I don't think that they should have infinite uses, which seems to be what you are implying here.

Simply open up the Armoire to include the spirit bond level and condition of the piece of gear and let us store any gear we like in it. Reset the dye/glamour of the piece, but lock the piece in the armoire for 24 hours to prevent people abusing this as a way to remove dye/glamour.

I see these less of an issue since as you say you'll have more retainer space already, and a lot of the easier materials can be purchased through vendors already, so storing them is a convenience, and part of the inventory management metagame...

So many threads that seem unaware they have said more inventory space is coming

But how much are we to trust that, especially without any details about what sort of space they're talking about. More inventory space was supposed to come with 3.0 (and was badly needed by then), but that got delayed so we were going to get extra retainers instead, then that in turn became simply being able to pay for more retainers than before. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if 4.0's extra inventory space becomes the same thing again. Instead of being able to pay an extra $2 each for up to six extra retainers, we'll be able to pay an extra $2 each for up to eight or ten extra retainers, and there's our promised boost. Really hoping that's wrong, of course.

Tokens and turn-in items - Into the currency tab

Yes, this is what we most need. More so than simply more regular inventory slots, we need better systems for handling items. Put currency in the currency window. Put gear appearances in a glamour log. Put bait in a tackle box. Either condense dyes and catalysts or store them the way we do crafting shards.

Get rid of the bloat, and then the only place we'd really need expanded is the armoury chest.

Armoire could be used to store any gear items if they extended it slightly to allow the condition of the gear to be retained. I don't really see any reason why we cannot take all our gear that we seldom wear or bring out to glamor onto something occasionally and put it in the Armoire.

It wouldn't really even need that change for gear condition. After all, the items already storable there have a condition, too, and we simply have to repair them to 100% before putting them away. (It's why there's a repair NPC standing right by each Inn.) They could let us store a lot more in the armoire, and still require 100% condition and reset spiritbond just as they do with the stuff there already.

YES! The tokens do take up a fair whack, even things like behemoth horns and odins mantles. Glamour stuff too, I would love your idea! For example I don't want to dump a levi weapon that I've upgraded with the mirror or armour from a dungeon that took me a hundred runs to get.
