Armoury insanity

[Raeletta]

If i listen to white knights everything is players fault even though the common sense states that the equipped gear should be locked out in armory and un sellable till it is removed from the equipped set. Right now it is hard to make a difference especially if you are leveling multiple classes.

But hey SE can do no wrong everything is players fault.

Not white knighting. Just think of the armoury as a macro (Which, essentially, it is).
It'd be nice if they added a warning to armoury-linked gear, but it'd repeatedly have to check every set you have when you open a shop. this (Client or serverside) will slow things down. If it's added, neato! If not, be mroe careful. The filter will help, although I'm surprised it's not enabled by default.

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.

A simple message saying "Warning: this item is being currently used on insertyoursetnamehere set." would fix the issue. Yeah I support this, but still I don't understand why almost everyone express their issues or concerns like "Omfg SE this is 21st century for gods sake!!".

Polishing a game takes time, a lot of time.

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.

Because you cant even double check and that's your fault? It's your insanity i'm afraid.

are you actually serious? so when im doing leatherworking, and i get a new piece of armour and switch, my goldsmith and weaver are wearing the same gear, i want to get rid of my leather robe but cant tell between the 3 which ive just unequipped because guess what, all 3 are in my armour chest and it doesnt tell me if they are equipped or not, AND the game wouldn't tell me until ive got rid of the wrong piece then tried changing back to leatherworker.......then id get "you are missing a piece, unable to change" all i want is to be able to go oh those 2 robes are being used by a toon i can sell that one, bosh easy peasy no hassle.........but no that isnt the case

Why is anyone selling anything directly from your armoury? - send stuff back to your inventory to sell and use your armoury as safe keeping as intended

Irrelevant. If clothing parts are missing you can still re-equip a set it'll just be missing a piece. The only time this will block you re-equipping an item if if you sell or destroy a weapon, since the weapon is the part that defines the class role. Likewise it's very easy to tell worn items in a set apart from "new" items; worn items will have soul binding and can't be sold anyway. Finally when crafting new gear it is NEVER sent to the armoury but kept in your inventory

Again, why are you even selling directly from your armour panel? :/

This is nothing to do with white knights and fanboyism. The system works just fine, this is strictly a PEBKAC error (As someone who has more ranks in crafting than combat classes, and enjoys trading I'd hope I'd know a thing or two about inventory management)

Because inventory fills up fast while leveling so it makes better sense to put weapons and armor in armory chest when low on space? yeah... yeah 'the system works fine' heard that many times around here just like how no 'over flow inventory' is also players fault.

I have to contest that. How the heck do you fill 4 panes of inventory space in one session?

Like i said, I'm BIG on crafting and harvesting and civvie stuff. 2 of my inventory panels are dedicated to crafting materials, and another inventory panel is full of repair materials/materia/food/potions. But I've NEVER run out of space while adventuring or had the need to use my armoury space as storage

What you propose, (gear staying in your armory box while equiped, but highlighted to mark it as equiped) is already being worked on. There was a dev post somewhere basicaly saying they are adjusting the armory system to just that.

Edit: Sorry misunderstood you proposal.. Never mind
