Inventory Interface, Management, and Additional View Options

[Unforgiven]

I am a bit upset that they made such an extensive crafting system and did nothing to implement an inventory system to support it. Here is the bottom line, I do not want to click the mouse 90x each time I want to hand my ingredients over to my retainer to hold when I want to go adventure and I do not want to do it 90x again when I want to get them back and so forth...
When I craft I would like for my ingredients to be pulled right from Retainers inventory.
I want the ingredients in my Retainers inventory and mine to show as the total number of that type of ingredient.

Love this suggestion. I hope we can see this and many more quality of life improvements. This is a fantastic game, but there are still quite a lot of improvements like this that need to be made.

Will this apply for type of material as well ? Stone/Ore/Gems/Logs/Lumbers... etc, etc. ?

Sorting by item level only? Um.. Can we have other options? lol

[Felis]

Sort by category first and item level later would be better

[Altanas]

Sorting by level will do.. not much good at all. As a Legacy player that is a meaningless sort function. And in a few weeks would be meaningless to a lot of new players. The problem with inventory is not gear or weapons as they are quickly sorted out by the armoury chest. The armoury chest idea needs to be expanded to items other than gear. Farmed drops, gathered items, crafted items, consumables, this is where the inventory mess comes from.


1. Use of Armoury Chest Design for items other than gear

The basic inventory and retainer system needs to be presented in a more visually appealing way. Perhaps use the Armoury Chest design for Inventory and Retainers.

I would really like to permanently set out where different items go. I'd like a tab for branches, a tab for logs, with an icon to the side so I can easily/visually know where everything is.

An added benefit of this should be that the "move items to armoury chest" would now also move farmed drops to the relevant tabs in a click

Over time, the current inventory and retainer system will end up a frustrating confused mess.


2. Inventory/Retainer Tabs should function like backpacks/satchels in earlier MMOs

We should be able to detach our numbered inventory tabs and numbered retainer tabs freely swapping them around. Say I have 4 tabs on my retainer for crafting but my 4 tabs on my character are full of guild event items like potions and food etc. If I feel like crafting I should be able to swap out my inventory tabs and bring my retainer tabs to my character. That way we can move things as tabs rather than individually. Although I would say more modern MMOs would allow crafting with full access to all storage at the same time like SWTOR

This Idea is utter genius... I love the idea of being restricted to how many tabs you can run around with, and be able to drag n drop tabs between yourself and retainer. Oc course we'd need the ability to name our tabs...

We need list view. I can't tell you how many times I've hovered over the mess of my retainer's inventory looking for the difference between dodo eggs, chicken eggs, and iron ore.

You know, it's funny (sad) that in 1.xx everyone just had to have the bag view like from WoW, and those of us that said, "No the list view is better and more funcitonal for sorting purposes." were summarily dismissed. Now it's all flip flopped.

I want a freaking list . How hard is it to find something by hovering over every single item . I cant make the difference between 10 different logs

Some indication that an item is being used in a gear list would help, sold items only to change class and be topless.
