Realistic Solution to Inventory Space (Programming idea that would lower server data)

[Shougun]

I've been playing a lot of GW2 and I wish the dye system in XIV worked like that. Buying rare dyes off the mogstation would "unlock" the dye in the pallete, and you would simply need to craft the recipe (with shards as you said) in order to dye the gear.

I like this idea and I wish the dev team would listen.

Many items have more than one dye location as well, up to four.

I believe just adding a glamour log would significantly cull inventory issues. Then like many MMOs just larger decor storage areas (Wildstar has up to 2.5k exterior and 2.5k interior and a 1k decor storage box lol) and crafting spaces (although with our larger inventory and a glamour log it might be okay anyways). 140+ slots and 2x 175 for crafting / tokens / leveling gear (no need to keep for fashion).

As for the system, unless I misunderstood, I would massively prefer a new glamour log rather than piggyback the armoire- the interface would be horrible for glamour / item managing vs all other competitive MMOs. Would likely be one of if not the worst glamour systems lol. Although I respect that you're (OP) trying to be feasible and friendly to the devs. Imo, It's not good enough a system to use for a glamour log and if its not meant to be a glamour log then a glamour log could do it all better anyways (imo lol).
