FC Chest Rework

[Hanayumi]

Yeah definitely wish there was either more room in the fc chest or seperate chests that we can use as furniture in housing that have inventory slots depending on size. But yeah for our FC the go to for our chest is usually just material for current expansion usually leaves room for ship/sub stuff and some general mats that are regularly used.

How about a tab in the glam dresser where you just feed in the pigments, so you always have dye to work your glam plates?

In trying to work with XIV's existing systems, I'd LOVE the glamour dresser to be able to hold its own stock of dyes. That way when I'm spending some time in there, I don't have to run out and grab or craft a dye that I thought I'd try on a whim.

If we're moving into dream territory, I'd love for them to implement more of GW2's style when it comes to the dyes. In GW2, they have over 600 dyes to collect, and you only have to unlock them once. After that, they're just added to your dye palette and you can apply them with a click of a button (for free).

picture of the UI if anyone is curious

Back on topic though, my main annoyance is how long it takes to add/remove items and to swap between the tabs.

I do think that the game as a whole needs a major inventory overhaul (add specific storage for materials, dyes, bait, tokens/currencies, etc) and reduce item bloat, but I don't know if I'd include a larger FC chest in that.

When I was still in larger FCs, the chests seemed to collect a ton of random junk that really had no reason to be stored there. Results may vary though as it would depend on how involved the FC is in doing group things together (crafting, workshop crafting, helping players out with <whatever>, etc).

They're not going to do any kind of overhaul on inventory. The best they can do is keep most items relatively easy to access. The gathering overhaul was a great step towards that. They eliminated the need to hoard HQ items and also let us gather more items faster.

Where dyes are concerned, it never takes more than a couple minutes to gather whatever it is you need. Just grab a chart like this one and you're set.

Is there any reason why FC chests hold so little?

And then there is me with my Solo FC Chest full of Stuffed Bokos but still plenty of space left...

We also need more defined permits... IE let rank A take x items of page 1 max etc....

[Liam_Harper]

Players and FC's need to determine what items have a value high enough to keep stock. Everything else is tossed. Every slot is extremely valuable.

What I don't understand is why we can't set any limitations on how many items members can withdraw. As you said, slots are more valuable so FC's will naturally restrict the chest to storing useful items that have value. But currently we only have the option of allowing members no access at all, or access to the entire tab and everything in it.

We really should be able to set limits for each rank. For example, a maximum withdrawal of X items a day, or X stacks.

I just said that lol

Like you cant actually use it as its either all or nothing... which would be kinda ok if we had like 10 pages... but as is...

No one needs to keep that much dye ready. If anything, maybe keep all the pigments in one spot. That's 7 slots.

How about a tab in the glam dresser where you just feed in the pigments, so you always have dye to work your glam plates?

The pigments can make only a small fraction of the available dyes.
That's why some dyes go for tens or hundreds of thousands of gil on the marketboard.

That said, I absolutely support the idea of being able to store dyes in the glamour chest, and being able to use those stored dyes when creating glamour plates.

I know pigments are only a part of the whole dye situation. It's basically split in 4. You have pigments, city vendors, tribe vendors and quick explore.

It's one thing to add storage to the dresser for more items. It's a whole other thing to have a slot for dye and have it interact with the plates. As nice as it would be, it's just not gonna happen. It's too much work for a super niche use. It's also too late into development of the game. Are they really supposed to spend time on such a project, when it takes just a couple minutes to access most dyes?

At this point, I fully intend to go full FFXI, make an alt name Effcee Chest, take all the craft that is in the chest, and stick it on that alt instead.

People who complain about the stuff that is missing can do so in our Discord channel, and I'll put it back on request. But right now the only way to know anything is going to be used is to take it away.
