I'm an inventory and organizational junkie, so I like this type of discussion and tips/tricks. 😂 I am constantly going through and trying to prune my 4 retainers' inventories, my own inventory, and my glamour dresser. I follow a lot of similar rules mentioned here.
I also impose a rule limiting the amount of glamour I keep for jobs I hardly ever play, whether it's easy to obtain or not. For example, I don't keep many, if any, melee-specific or healer-specific gear pieces but permit myself to keep a lot of tank or aiming gear. I limit myself to MAYBE one glamour weapon for these rarely-played jobs if it's difficult to obtain.
I also recently went through the insane process of completing all of my normal crafting log up to Dawntrail (still have to finish CUL technically but on the to-do list). I sold basically every other material that was not relevant for current crafting otherwise.
Square enix, PLEASE eventually upgrade the inventory slot amounts so i can store more crafting mats & food & gear I use for seals/desynthesizing.
Holy shit I needed this
sun dry splendors. first time i've heard someone say it like that lol
How do people run out of space? I've been playing since ARR and have never ran out of space and only have the base 2 retainers.
oh shit is this THE Kaiyoko Star from Reddit telling me what equipment to wear during fashion report when I use to play but now I'm on hiatus?! lol
don't forget all expansion dungeons since Shadowbringers can be cleared with trusts to farm glamour as well
Grown strong man… female soft character 🤦♂️
BTW, "Sundry" is pronounced "sun-dree" 🙂
As a trial, I can't hoard much. It got bad during levelling available classes up to 70, but it got immediately better when I finally got that done like.. last week. The only thing I should probably sort out some time is my chocobo bag (it's full of dye)
Think of the Marketboard as an extension of your inventory. Anything that can be bought and sold on the MB is fungible; you can sell it and buy back an indistinguishable copy later, and unless something suddenly causes the price to skyrocket, the most you'll be out is the small amount of market tax. So let the MB hold that half-stack of Effervescent Water for you until the next time you need Natron for something, then just stroll up to a board and buy back however much you need. It'll probably be about the same price as you sold it for.
The only exception is saddlebag mats, by which I mean the collection of materials for things you're likely to be crafting in the immediate future and may want if you hit downtime somewhere away from the MB. This would mostly include materials for current collectables or crafting projects, and maybe a few staple items. (If you carry a few pigments in your saddlebag, you can whip up a wide variety of dyes on the spot, in case you see an opportunity for color coordination–or a funny color gag.) That should cover you while you're out waiting for a timed node…or when every other member of your map party suddenly has to answer the door, pee, or deal with spouse/child aggro.
Are you telling us to sell coke? Are you trying to get us in trouble?
Everytime I see anyone hoarding old (not current expansion) materia I just assume they don't know what the hell they're doing
3:26 If you're a crafter, you can desynthesize it instead. It grants desynth exp, some materials and crystals.
Desynthing unwanted equipment from extreme trials to make into new items is a great way to make gil, and the mats and crystals stack.
I think there is also a dedicated desynthesis menu to help you figure out what to desynthesis, I recently used something like that to clear out my armour chest when I reached endgame. If there is, it's somewhere in the traits & actions window.
I don't want to stop hoarding… the main point of games, especially mmos, is to run content to collect useless crap that just fulfills my completionist cravings… I shouldn't have to "fix" anything, the game should fix the inventory issues… 7.1's QoL changes to the glamour dresser were a blessing, hopefully they keep adding good ideas like that, because it's been years that Yoshi P has been expressing his own frustration towards the lack of inventory space, while still allowing people to rent additional retainers for real money… this just feels scummy, no matter how genuine he is about it, and I do understand the many 1.0 limitations, but calling out players who enjoy hoarding and presenting the situation as if something was wrong with them doesn't sit well with me… I've recently been playing less and less for the sole reason that my inventory was permanently clogged, couldn't run maps with friends, couldn't even run dungeons and collect cute glamour because I knew it meant that I had to throw away stuff and I don't want to run more content to get it back… it's to the point where I threw away every single normal raid/tomestone gear because I knew it was somewhat easy to get them back… it just sucks. There's no issue with me, there's an issue with the inventory system, let's stop making excuses for others, especially at the cost of calling each others names, as if we had some form of mental illness that needed treatment, it's just… gross.
I am NOT a loot g.. RAKANISHU
A another dude, playing "barbie doll ffxiv". What a meme.
Another advice, if you have too much glamour stored, pop a Fantasia and become a Viera or Hroth. You can immediately delete 90% of all your head gear and never look back.
For previous expansion crafter/gather materia, unless you want to sell it for high profits, I recommend not storing any. Instead, keep your island sanctuary up to date for a healthy amount of cowries. This lets you simply buy rank 9 materia to fill those penta melds with. Will it overcap? Yes. Does it matter when you have infinite amounts of them? No.
This is a good video thank you.
I dont use the glamor dresser as i find it too hard to understand no matter how many times i am told how to use it
All this won't save me not having enough glamour plates!
Great tips though. I'm however the kind of person that if i don't see it, it doesn't exist. So I literally put everything I find decent in my glam dresser "just in case"..
But i'm improving, I swear!
Whaaat you can place all emperors clothes sets in to one?!? And the goldsaucer stuff?!?, ooh i think i just unlocked 8 slots thanks to this video!
For crafting mats, if I have small stacks of items that are easily gathered those are first on the chopping block for clearing out some space. Doesnt clear too much space, but its helpful sometimes
Cries in omnicrafter
lets put it this way, Thank you so so much 😄 like and sub 😊 and keeping the video for future reference 😁 my soul is lighter and so are my retainers and my glamour dresser 😂 there's still my housing items "problem" but i can still aplly some of your advices in there 🙃
This video is a godsend. I've maxed out all 9 of my retainers, choco bags, and only have 8 slots left in my inventory. 8)
Small brain: Buying Coke
Big Brain: HARDENED SAP
10:56 9 retainers huh? Looks like your hoarding's already done a good bit of damage
It took YEARS but I finally saw the tail end of the devaluing switch and it started happening with items from PoTD. Apparently it's been neglected for so long its items (that used to cost 1 gil sometimes!) can now go for 100k.
i only have the default 2 retainers, 1 holds crafting materials, usually hq ones i get from desynth, treasure maps, or rare nodes, occasionally i clean up old/low value mats and sell them
the other retainer hold things i'm saving, like some outdoor furniture (recently lost my small house due to health related inactivity) a few gear coffers, relic materials, and other limited stuff, liek treasure maps.
both of them still have lots of space though, and i make sure to never get them filled to max
my chocobo carries things i need regularly but not all the time, like rare dyes, fate boss drops,emote items (fireworks, confetti), raid tokens, or xp buff manuals.
i'm not a high content raider, so i have no need for pentamelding and stuff, so i usually sell my materia, only crafters and gatherers materia get saved parallel to my crafters level for the next gear upgrade.
the biggest clutter in my inventory comes from 3 things: gear that i haven't handed in to the gc yet, food that i keep forgetting to eat, and all these crystal clusters and stuff
and yes, the new set feature is great imo, as long as you don't use rare dyes by default. i went through only the glam i already had in my dresser, and managed to empty around 90 or so slots, mostly from msq gear. i'm down to ~450 now. if i invest some time and gil to complete other sets where i only use half the times, i can make even more space. and on the rare occasion that there's an item i put into the dresser pre-dyed with pure white for example, i'll just get a 2nd copy of that 1 item for the set, so i'll save 2 slots instead of 3, but still better than none.
I fixed my hoarding problem by buying more retainers… so i can hoard more
Just clicked play, let's see if you can make it so I'm not spending more on storage retainers than the game subscription. I have retainers designated to specific storage needs and I just bought one the other day to hold my level 90+ greens.
I'm not a Hoarder. I'm just a Collector.
I didn't need to watch the whole video to know that I'm a hoarder. Just looking at my FULL inventory and my retainer carrying to the max, I am reminded everyday I'm a hoarder.
See…the points in the video makes sense….I agree with…..but like…what if one day I need those 30 Doman Dogwood trees on my retainer….and there is an event going on in the enclave and it's congested….I wouldn't be able to get the 30 I need…..it's…just a….safety….investment….
You didn’t mention Company Chests
I have so far, saved over 130 slots in the glamour dresser with the new outfit storage bodge.
I also feel like Yoshi-P personally owes me hundreds of glamour prisms and several dyes, because BOY HOWDY is it annoying you also have to pull out the items to put them back in.
Just put my account on blast, wouldja? 😀
My guy really just recommended delivering your excess items to supply a Coke selling business 🤣
The thing with glamour set pieces not being dyeable it's a bug, the patch notes explicitly say that while you do lose the dye when you put it into the glamour dressed, you are able to dye it once it's inside.
When you got to Alliance Raid gear, 😢
I still can't get the scouting chest from Copied Factory and it's been 4 years since I played it.
Listen here you, I will need all those level 1-60 crafting materials eventually. Surely. They don’t take up too much space, filling my entire saddlebag, one retainer, and some of my inventory…
I’m not a hoarder! I’m just getting ready to maybe at some point becoming an omnicrafter!
I've needed this far too long. I have an entire retainer page of unopened coffers. I am beyond ashamed.
a huge asterisk you neglected to mention on ARR relics is you need the weapon in your player inventory or armory chest to access the menu for purchasing that weapon's replicas unless you turned it in for the HW first step(this might also apply to discarding the weapon)
Can't believe this video tried to make me a coke dealer
This video helped me SO MUCH! I was having a hard time understanding all the inventory system and possibilities.
Fun fact: in wow I hoarded so much thing that I have a maxed guild bank with only my main and alts hahahahaha. 100% out of control there.
WARNING: For the ARR Zeta Relics!
For the ARR Relic Replicas, you MUST complete the full story line to the end and then either:
A. Have the final Zeta relic in your inventory
B. Turn the Zeta relic in for the materials for the first Anima relic step.
Thank you to the commenters who brought this up, I didn't know about this.
Super helpful! Thanks!
