SE, you need to do something about those items occupying a slot piece inside your iventory retainer. I agree that you can get the count when you actually carry the item with you, but when you put them inside retainer, it shouldn't count as a slot. Count should be 0. You can't trade them, sell them to players, only to npc. I have like 50+ slots only with event/unique untradable items. Unless you plan to keep boosting ivt space which I doubt, by 2015, I will have 200 slots with those items. I don't want to destroy event items, since they tell your story as a player, but you are making me choose between doing the events and getting those special items and flooding the ivt with them, or not doing them and saving space for items that you actually use for battle.

I hope you consider my problem, since most of players might have the same problems I face.
