Tacklebox Please

[Sjol]

I do hate inventory management in FFXIV. It's some of the worst I've come across and I hate that it feels like it's this way so they can charge me extra money for retainers. Every decision seems to be towards frustration.

Can't craft from retainers
Can't use bait from saddlebags
Can't do turn-ins from saddlebags
Can't organize retainers by what you want them to store
Can't collect glamours, only gear
Can't bulk dump gear into retainers (better, but still one-by-one)
Can't view all your retainer inventory at once
Can't filter your retainer inventory
Can't sell more than 20 items per retainer
Can't have toys without using inventory space

And for all the complaints of hording. A lot of that could be solved by uncapping the market selling or at least dramatically expanding it.

I would love if Square added a tacklebox to the game. I am tired of having my inventory clogged with bait. Do you think we could ever get something like this to hold our bait?

Why don't you just dump all the bait and only carry the ones you need when you need them?

Letting people pay extra to indulge their hoarding problem doesn't mean they don't still have a hoarding problem.

Maybe they should make regular fishing like ocean fishing where there's only 3 baits that all work for every location for focusing small/medium/large fish.

I think the variety of different baits for different situations makes it more interesting, but I see no reason why you would need to carry all of them at once. Just get the bait for whatever fish you're focusing on at the moment. Same goes for dyes. Get them when you need them.

I have more dye than I can sell. I do buy the dye as I need them, but I also get them perpetually via Venture Coffers. So many that I stopped opening them and now I'm sitting on hundreds of those.

It would be just as easy to program 50 new storage spaces at it would be 50 new "bait-only" storage spaces. So as a specific tacklebox? Pass. Just give 50 new spaces for whatever.

I've always wanted this. It has been requested for years.
Still, it should be a thing but with super baits, it doesn't matter as much unless you're going after very rare fish.

Honestly, rather than a tacklebox, I wish they'd just connect the players inventory to their retainer and saddlebag inventories. Then I wouldnt have to "carry" around so much various baits or crafting materials. Just have it pull the materials/bait directly from storage as needed.

I would love this to, but I have a strong suspicion that their janky code is preventing them from doing it. I also think janky code is why we can't use retainers on other world servers. The line about making it so that we don't just live on another server feels like an excuse.

At that point, you might as well just get rid of the concept of retainer and saddlebag inventories, and set the size of your own inventory to 140 + 70 (* 2?) + 175*N slots.

For example: If you've sent your retainer out on a venture, you shouldn't be able access their inventory. They're not with you! They're somewhere else! Unless, of course, they left their bag of holding with you while they're away… in which case, we're basically back to what I just said — make your own inventory larger, and delete the others.
