in the game we have the calamity salvagers that you can buy items tied to achievements
the master of rolls in gridania that handles achievement claim has code that recognises your equipped gear and gives you an achievement for wearing the DD gear like harlequin, templar, and buccaneer
the dyable af1 and af2 gear is mostly easy to get (it just takes up a tooooon of space in your glam dresser or retainer), but af3 takes tons of grinding and multiple steps in eureka to get the dyables
every class you add is going to increase the number of sets taking up space and add to the inventory data in the game
if you give the master of rolls the ability to give us achievements (and subsequent ability to rebuy as needed from the salvager) based on wearing the 5 dyable items and talking to him, you can allow players to offload up to 75 items if you only do this with af3, and 275 items if its af1-3, and youre about to add 17 classes worth of af4 which is 85 more items taking up space
this solution is using existing code and systems currently in the game, and im hoping would be a fairly cheap and manpower light thing to implement as opposed to adding hundreds of glam dresser slots and increasing the traffic in inventory packets
being able to buy the antique af1 and af2 gear and upgrade with crafts and centurio fairly easily doesnt bother me, its that i have spent a ton of time in eureka grinding crystals to upgrade all my af3 gear (and im not even done, pagos burned me pretty hard) and finding a place to put these 75 pieces so i never have to do it again when 17 sets of af4 have to take their place in my armory (and i already have 65 spots in my glam dresser being taken up by all my dyable af2 gear cause i randomly use it in glam already), i would be able to remove all of that from my traffic if i knew i could go to the salvager, buy the dyable items from him, use them in my glam, and then delete them from my inventory in a few minutes
and all of this wouldnt impact the work necessary to get to the dyable gear the first time, itd only keep it from being a bunch of data packets clogging up the system every time we access the glam dresser or retainers once weve gotten them
thanks for making a great game and hope this helps make it a bit better
... HOLY HELL THATS HOW THE GARO SETS WORK AND IT TOOK ME 3 WEEKS TO REALISE IT
