Armoury insanity

[Sanchezz4387]

ISSUE: Armoury chest is a mess, why Square Enix have you implemented a storage function that fails to tell you whether you have equipment equiped or not?
Example: my BLM has a goat tooth staff equiped, i have the same staff in my armory chest, i want to sell one but wait a second i haven't a clue which one it is, i take a chance and sell one and BOOM i can no longer change to my BLM as the weapon has been sold.....this gets very annoying and frustrating and potentially character breaking when you have multiple classes and equipment.

Simple solution: when a weapon or Armour piece is equipped, take it out of the armory chest and keep it on the character, OR high lite what is equipped or take away the option of pressing X to sell it. That way when i look at my armory chest i know that what im looking at is different pieces of UNEQUIPPED GEAR, that i can sell or trade without fear of fucking up one of my other classes........i mean come on can you sell Clouds buster sword when its equipped? no, can you sell Squalls Gunblade that is equipped? No, why such a simple error in such a huge modern game?
Common sense Square, i hope it gets resolved, i flagged this in the BETA as it ruined my toon, im flabbergasted that this can still happen in the full version. please fix it

I don't understand your issue and are you talking to yourself? Sorry if I posted if that is the case.

I'm confused, do you mean equipped in a gear set or actively being worn by your character.

Because when I have gear EQUIPPED it's not in my armory chest anymore, but when it is part of a gear set that is not currently equipped it is in the armory because it is not actively equipped.

So I'm guessing what you're wanting is for items in gear sets to be removed from your armory chest? Seems like a more annoying way to do things.

Check what you sell before you sell it. It's you're own fault: the armoury is for quick re-equipping, not for locking gear down, it won't tell you you have a piece in a gearset.

On the Character tab of the character config menu you can enable filters that will warn you if an item is Unique, Spiritbonded or Meldable when you attempt to sell it, this may help you in future.

when my BLM is equiped i can see every piece of armour in my chest, wether its equipped by other classes or not i dont know because the game doesnt tell me, what i want is for all the pieces that are currently being used by however many classes you have to just be high lited or to have the option of selling them accidentally being removed

i have 6 classes all with different robes/armour and what not, when i look at the armory chest it does not tell me which gear is being used, this makes it incredibly hard to determine which i can put back in my inventory for sale as it doesn't issue a warning when you move it that its currently equipped.....i don't get the difficulty in understanding this

What part of having a copy of the exact same item wasn't clear? Assuming it wasn't spiritbound at all, it would be entirely possibly to sell something you have equipped on a set just because you had to guess which it was. That is where the problem is.

Unless you intend for people to constantly switch between gear sets just to sell things...

[QuantumLegend]

Maybe you could keep items you want to sell in your inventory rather that in your armoury. Or even on your retainer. No reason to have weapon duplicates in your armoury chest anyway.

But it would be nice to see a marker indicating armoury chest item is part of a saved gearset.

Another issue I have noticed - The armoury chests seems to equip gear randomly:

Example - I have 2 x Cotton dalmatica of gathering in my chest. One has Soulbound % and materia on it, which I actually use. One i picked up randomly from a quest, got put in my chest automatically. I change classes, go do some FATE, change to gather and mine some stuff, go back to town to sort out inventory etc. What do i see? The weaker, newer dalmatica was equipped when changing class using the 'Gear sets' and now has Soulbound % on it...

I know that my own temporary work around is to remove gear from the armoury chest, but it still should not be happening...

This needs addressing.

The problem is if the game can't find the exact piece (Say a yellow robe) It'll use a different one if it can (Same robe, blue with materia) and warn you it couldn't find the exact piece requested.

It could probably be done, but the spiritbond activates as soon as you finish a fight, that should be enough for the filter I mentioned to work.

Edit:

Wheres the guessing? if you're running that many classes you don't know which ones are using what weapon, you should sit down and organise it.
