Key Item Storage - Excessive?

[Zephanoa]

I appreciate the revamps on storage but could we get a dev to chime on on why we need 3 pages of key item storage? It seems a bit excessive as I have only ever had maybe a half page full at any given moment. I understand that you want to future proof the needs, but I feel like its a bit excessive and should be given to the players.

I was thinking the same yesterday when I logged and looked at the inventory changes. Do we ever get that many key items? I can't recall having more than maybe five at a time the most.

Most I've held is 10 at one time. Maybe itw ill be do to Eureka? I hear there is some pop item NMS better than having them in inventory -.-

I'm hoping (with nothing to support what I'm about to say, it's purely my own hope) that the reason they're doing is it so start preparing for finally converting all fishing tackle & bait into Key Items, giving us the "tacklebox" some people have been patiently waiting for.

Could any of it be attributed to Eureka's elemental progression/system? I'm curious to see if that's related next saturday

Back when i was doing the ixali tribe quests i remember having 20-30 items in there on a few occasions(i would grab all 12 quests, go get everything, craft everything, then turn everything in - it led to a lot of items sometimes). This would have been early HW, so i was probly mid 50s on my BLM and doing adventuring quests too. But even 50 seems like a stretch for what we might "need".

The key items always had way more spots than was needed. 3 pages sounds about right from the old expanded inventory layout.

It is excessive - I think the maximum I have ever had was some 20-25 key items at once. I am not sure it is even theoretically possible to have more than 50 or so at once.
Most likely it is just an artifact from how they have set up the inventory tabs that gives us so many key item slots.
