Is there a particular reason why we can't have ingredients inventory?

We're not going to get specialized space when they can give us general space for players to store what they want.

We've been told this several times already.

Need more inventory space? Get rid of the junk you're not actively using on a weekly basis. You'll be surprised how much gil you make by doing it. One of my low level alts is up to 6 million gil because I keep selling off the leftover crafting materials she didn't need while leveling DoH.


Versatile Lure. You now have 599 more inventory spaces available.

You're welcome.

The Versatile Lure is hypothetically able to catch anything. But there's actually a whole subset of the game that's basically "Fishing (Savage)", with very rare and hard-to-catch fish that require specific baits in specific windows, to catch specific fish that you mooch to catch other specific fish and so on...

While it's theoretically possible the Versatile Lure could catch what you need to get your end-goal fish, the chances are so incredibly small that it would work out that you might as well treat the value as being 0.

Thus, if you are doing Fishing (Savage), you need the equivalent of your raid pots and food. It's just that every single fight requires different ones (and are only available at certain times, so even just remembering where to go to buy the bait can throw you off the tiny window of availability, thus having it already available), and there's like 600 different fights you might be "progging" at once. Thus, a horrifying closet full of various lures, worms, balls of substances, collections of insects and so on, all in the service of getting the fishing clears you're trying for.

I understand big game fishing benefits by having specific bait and lures in inventory. I also know you don't need all 93 baits/lures in your inventory to catch a single fish. At most a couple of bait changes will be needed.

Bait and lures are not hard to obtain. Buy what you need when you're actually going to go after that big fish. Sell off what's leftover once you've caught it. No inventory problem that way.

Same thing with crafting materials. Most materials have a limited range of recipe levels they're used for. Once you've gotten past that range, there's no point in keeping those materials. The recent UI updates allowing us to search for recipes that use a specific material makes it very easy to figure out what you'll still need and what's safe to get rid of. If you need them again, they're easy to get.

So many players would benefit from looking at their inventory and asking themselves "when is the last time I actually used that item?"

If it hasn't been used very recently, why is it still there? It makes sense to keep if it's a genuinely hard to obtain item but few items fall into that category. Most items are very easy to obtain on demand.

Recently started leveling crafting and gathering jobs and uuh... Holy crap, I knew that managing inventory was kinda hard in this game before but now it's neigh impossible, would be nice we have a second inventory exclusively for materials.

yes i fully support this. i have wayyy too many crafting mats in my inventory and retainers inventory. lost ark did a good job with this by having many separate inventories.

I prefer they do this with dyes and grade material thing for repair

Grade Material things can easily go into ‘hidden’ storage like our shards, crystals, and clusters do, to be honest.

the infinite craft bag was the only thing I love in the Elder Scroll Online

SE please...

Im not so sure, I think people just arent being smart with basic inventory management. Here's how I do it.
Normally I relegate putting things like raid currencies, relic weapon items, dyes, maps and fishing lures into the chocobo bag inventory so that I have that extra quick access. Materia, food and a few miscellaneous items are on my main inventory and pretty much all crafting materials, house furnishing, extra miscellany items are placed in retainer inventories while I leave some crafting mats on my main inventory depending if I'm working on a crafting session for specific items.

[elioaiko]

I would love a gathering materials tab and a tab for totems in the currency window. That would go a long way IMO.

More inventory space wouldn't really solve anything. If you get for example 50 more inventory slots, you will start to fill them up with any item you get without thinking whether you need it or not until the 50 new slots are full and you want more space again.
