More Retainers

[Reaping81]

I currently have 10 and am always struggling to make space. I do sell a lot on the market and try to keep all crafting mats on hand as well. There are just so many things that I have on them. I struggle to keep a lot of different things because I hate having to go farm it again. I don't see why they don't let us have more retainers...... Or better yet, a crafting chest for all mats to go into. That would free up probably 4 or more retainers there.
If they were to add more retainers on top of the 10, it's just more money in their pockets imo. I would gladly pay it.

Even if the crafting box is linked to a players house. But then you have to actually win the lottery to get a house first nowadays, thankfully I have mine from forever ago. Just need something to add more space.

Paid Retainers should have atleast 300 Slots. I have 10 Retainers too and at this point it gets stupid. We pay 25,99 for the Game and 19,60 only to have Space for our Items.
Why do we must throw away Items for that we used our Time to even get them? SE must deliver a solution for Material, Gear.
We should not pay to store our Gear, Glamour, Material. Other Games have Banks, Chests, Collections. Green, blue, purple Gear gets stored into a collection and can be used forever as Glamour.
Materials goes automatically into 1 Bag, when Harvest something and a whole Account can use that Bag.
Only in this Game you have to pay for Retainers to store your Items.

marie kondo your stuff!

I pay for this Game and spend a lot time to get special Gear, Weapons and what not. Just to throw them away?
My Stuff is organised, alone for Crafting Materials + Food I need 3 Retainers. I have only Material for Items I craft and sell + new Material for Rinascita and Indagator's Items.
I sell Furniture / House Deco and that needs tons of Space cause those Items needs tons of different Materials / Resources to craft them.
Then I have House Deko from all those Events + Coffers from Events and Glamour Items, special Dyes, Scrolls for Exp Bonus and a Handful other Items, that is a 4th Retainer.
The 5th Retainer is full with Retainer Restock Items like 40 Summer Sandals, 20-30 Sea Breeze Summer Pareo and so on.
3 Retainers with full Gear Sets / Tower of Babil, Troja, Eden and so on. 1 Retainer with Weapons, Jewelry and 1 Retainer with Materia + Items that I still need. The last Retainer is empty right now.
This Game has to many Materials, to many Gear / Glamour and to less Space to Store.

why in the heck you need 40 summer sandals? Most special dyes are cheap on the marketboard and not worth keeping around on the off chance you might want that color. Let me guess your glamor dresser is full as well.

They have 20 pairs of feet under that dress.

We're not intended to collect everything and keep it all. Make better choices about what you should keep and what you don't.

If the items can be purchased from a vendor, there's no use storing them in your inventory or on a retainer unless you are using them multiple times a day.

If something is gathered from a non-timed gathering node, gather when needed instead of storing "just in case".

Most materia isn't worth storing because it sells on the MB for little more than sell to vendor value. What materia is worth storing doesn't take up that much space.

As for your Sandals and Pareos, there's a very simple solution. Stop desynthesizing the fish immediately. Store them and desynth a few when you are ready to sell more Sandals and Pareos. The fish will stack to 999 (which would take a stupidly long amount of time to collect unless you're operating a large fishing bot army) where the attire doesn't. That's 4 inventory spaces taken instead of 60.

I agree with all of this.

Most likely you aren't even using 80% of what's stored on your retainers. Stop hoarding stuff you don't need and save some cash every month. If you want to keep hoarding, make alts.

Spot on. If a player looks carefully at what they are holding, they'll probably realize they can dump a lot of it. Gear you might want to use to glamour... put in the glamour dresser. Those tokens for completing trials, if already have what need from them (like the mount), dump any from a previous expansion without a second thought. Do you really need to hold on to the Valentione's Chocolate from 2015? Probably not.

Holding onto most materia is a waste. In most (not all) cases, they plummet in value, especially as we move on from the expansion.

Use the MB to hold your stuff. In other words, sell what you have that aren't using on a weekly basis. In many cases, you can reap rewards now and then it'll be on the MB later. It is quite possible that when you deposit stuff on the MB and then take it back out later (read: sell now, buy later) you might make some gil. Or, maybe you lose a little gil. Either way, it frees up space.
