(Needed Interface Change) Inventory

[Callicleez]

This Must have been brought up before, and I am shocked it's not already a thing, but we could really benefit from the following QoL improvement. Seems like an easy change to make.
We need to be able to Lock (and unlock) items in our inventory and armory chest. So we can easily see what we want to keep and what we can sell. And we don't accidentally get rid of items we wanted to keep.
Can we please get this improvement?
Thanks!

The Armoury already has a similar feature, as it tells you what's associated w/ a gear set. Everything else I just move to the bottom of the armoury so I know its there for a reason (usually glamour) until I can deposit it into the glamour dresser or the class that needs it reaches that level.


As far as inventory, I keep the frequently used items on the top of the first panel (potions, greens, exp boosts, etc), and the less frequently used on the bottom of the last panel (eden totems / drops, etc). Then I place anything I plan to store at retainers from the last panel backwards, and anything I plan to sell / auction from the first panel onwards. Eventually they'll meet in the middle, but I usually just remember what item I'm using as the dividers.

Would it be nice to flag something as "locked"? Yes. But I don't see it as a huge rush issue, as it's pretty easy to develop a logical storage strategy.

it's called paying attention to what you have...?

In the Armoury Chest, when a piece of gear is equipped to one of your gear sets, the gear icon has a little “note” in the corner.

For unused stuff that you want to keep for later, throw it in the wardrobe.

Thank you for the response. I may not understand what "associated with a gear set" means.
Are you saying this is triggered when I have something equipped?
I associate the term "gear set" with it being a gear set item like scavean gear, etc...
Would still like a lock option, but this may suffice in the meantime.
Cheers

Thanks! This does help. Would prefer a lock option, but it's at least something.

Cool and edgy response...

Maybe they could have tabs to only display certain categories of items such as Meals & Medicine, Crafting Materials, Materia, Housing, Dyes & Other. and the normal default view would be Display All.

Open your Character panel, and then click Gear Set List.

This lists all the classes that you have, as differentiated by the main-hand tool/weapon.

For each class listed, that is the gear set for that class.

If an piece of gear is assigned to any of these gear sets, then in the Armoury Chest, a little “note” graphic will appear.

If you reassign different gear, such that your previously-used gear is not being used in any of your gear sets, then the “note” graphic will disappear, which indicates that it’s safe to remove that item from the Armoury Chest.

That mechanic isn't an actual inventory lock on those items, although it does bring up an additional confirmation pop up in some cases like adding a gear set linked item to the glamour chest. Several mechanics allowing deletion or transfer of items don't, though, so it's not perfect. This would be a nice QoL addition in my opinion, and one I've seen in several other games.
