Are we getting any more inventory spaces

[Doozer]

I'd like to have more armory chest space instead. I can manage regular items, but I kind of need all that gear, and one slot for rings when every class/job uses two is difficult to deal with.

[Rasikko]

Nope, just been around since the beginning and they've mentioned it before in a live letter or interview. I also understand how servers (the hardware) and server programs work more than most.

So have I and so do I, and even much further than that, but.. *grabs basket*

There are several cookies here you can choose from.

I've never understood the ridiculous "Look at all that Key Item space not getting used!" argument. Does nobody stop to think and realize that the number of Key Item slots you see depends entirely on how expanded your inventory settings are? As someone that sets it to normal, there really aren't all that many slots.

Plus, y'know, what was already said, about none of them actually being "items" so much as flags that the game recognizes you should be able to use the special thing or progress a quest or whatever.

I forgot that retainers were only good for inventory space. Not like they are needed for posting on the market board and....oh wait...But I guess there has to someone to defend why players dont get a 3rd retainer 3 expansions into this game.

To be fair, since ARR more and more gear has been able to be put into the Armoire, we've had the glamour chest added and recently expanded, the chocobo saddlebag added and the currency tab created. Coupled with 2 retainers with 175 slots each and our inventory/armoury chest, the normal player has over 1000 inventory slots which is enough really. Inventory space has been addressed a number of times but of course they're not going to straight up give each player a third retainer. Perhaps they could expand it by giving us another page so that the item cap is 200, 175 is a bit of an obscure number

I'd like to see primal totems and raid drops added to the currency tab personally

it's called inventory management, you don't need more than 2 retainers but sometimes you have to go gather things which you don't have any space for like I am doing now for new submarine parts.

I'm still using only one retainer for extra storage, I've recently had to expand into it's 3rd block though. I only keep HQ mats there however, and sell all the NQ leftovers I gathered for a crafting session. Still trying to figure out how to move stuff to the second retainer when the first gets full. Will I have to move it into my bags first, then open the other retainer and move it all back?

I do keep NQ skins and other beast drops though, since getting HQ versions of those in any usable quantity is next to impossible,

[SamSmoot]

I have enough at the moment, but I'd like to see them all integrated onto one interface. Give me the option to see ALL my storage in one big panel, and be able to freely drag one or more items at a time between them. Also, with this, you could have item search be a simple text box that will highlight the found items in the inventory window (like it does in WoW.) No 3-stage searching with mouseover final stage as it is now.

Not necesseraly more slots but some QoL would make a difference. Like Raid / Trial tokens could work as Beast Tribe currencies for instance. I had a retainer filled with those things until I decided to thorw all out. And I still have those Eureka crystals and tokens too!
A fishing tackle box sure would be welcome.
More things to be kept in the Armour Chest, the ways it works with the glamour plates is quite good.

Just these things would make things a bit easier.

Baffled that people will defend 2 retainers max after 3 expansions.

You as a crafter are perfectly fine having to go out and gather every time you need to make anything, then throw out the excess mats you gathered after, then go gather more when you need the same again, constantly pruning and not allowed to hold too many totems or raid currencies or "might be handy" items, while a "premium sub" user can basically store any useful mat they like in the game, keeping their army of retainers on constant ventures to stockpile stacks of each. They want to try the "I made that VI" achievement, make a glamour, gear an alt class, make a sub, make a friend or FC member an item, they can do it within the minute by simply grabbing the mats.

Up to SB you could enjoy this too, but now its become a premium sub privilage only you're defending it as great and happily off gathering things you threw out last week, waiting for timed nodes again and cursing at the mb for only selling stacks of 99 at high price.

We should have got a 3rd free retainer by now.

To be fair, that's true of all items. Nothing is real, after all. That stack of Darksteel Ore sitting in your inventory is really just a flag that tells the game "this guy is allowed to craft a Darksteel Nugget."

More space would be nice, but I think better use of the space we have would be better in the long run.
Like more things fitting in the armoire would free up more space in the dresser, which would in turn free up space in my armory and retainers.

Honestly everything from the mog station should be able to go into the armoire.
