Sir you are a SOLDIER! I'm shook on how little items you have! and I'm here with 5 retainers each hoarding materials/items for housing, crafting, glam/gear etc. Its so hard to not feel like you might need certain things but Im gonna try to implement your tips!

Thankfully the crafting system has been OVERHAULED to remove a lot of the random HQ materials, that singlehandedly emptied pages of inventory.

I recently finished the MSQ and was just wondering what to do with all the crap in my inventory, and this video was super helpful.

oh my god this video could not have come out a more perfect time. my retainers are maxed and i have 7 slots in my inventory, desperately needed help with inventory space.

Thanks Jolsn.. been playing for 4 years and used your method of downgrading HQ to normal and saved a TON of room on all my retainers... wow, I had no reason to keep all that HQ because all my crafters are 90 and fully geared. lol

Good video with good information. I don't have inventory issues, and have generally been good at keeping my inventory limited to 2 boxes. My friends are less fortunate, so I'll be sure to pass this along.

Hoarding items is sadly more neccessary on the free trial. As there is no market board, it also sucks that I get no retainers alongside this

As a new player in FF14 my inventory solution is to simply avoid crafting at all costs! SMART!

Free trial chads, don’t repeat my mistake and think that desynth is worth leveling crafting to 30. You’ll just clog your inventory with useless junk, instead of white gear. Just pick up fishing to gather maps and have fun, and leave gathering/crafting to bots.

@@max7971 I had the reverse problem lol, I ended up having way too many types of random bait that I had to throw out!

Just started game, have yet to get retainer, but found your video very helpful already, thanks so much.

This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you.

Ah yes just when I run out of space I find this video.

It’s good to know that the habits I picked up along the way are listed here…but I could’ve probably used this back when I was starting out.

The putting gear in my inventory has saved me a lot of time. Only thing I do with any left side pieces is see if I want to keep it for glamor or not. Got a different set up for myself about where I put things. I have one Retainer for materia one for sell items, 1 for "rare" items I am going to use to craft glam. (Treasure dungeon drops.)

Thank you !!! Iwas struggling with this yesterday

Nice video. Thing is some of us are still figuring out what is the items we're going to nee and what not. Haha. Although good to see a good quality channel active in this slow times.

Thank you so much. This video helped immensely!!

New player to FFXIV, and this guide was super useful to me! It's been confusing trying to figure out what to keep.

Awesome! I didn‘t know I could send my retainer sell stuff at an noch lol… thanks for that hint!

Further: Might I suggest a video on converting back and forth? I.e. Allied Seals (name?) from weekly monster hunts to Company Seals, which can buy valuable Moonstone to sell for gil. Especially for us free trial players, a lot of good moneymakers and partying systems aren't available so ideas are adppreciated!

Also throw any gear u think looks good into glam chest to get it out of ur inventory

When giving items to grand company in exchange for seals, Im not using keybind. Instead I moved the confirmation modal so that the Deliver button would overlap with the topmost item, so I can just click in one place until everything has been submitted

"Horstlichter" and "Ludwighofmaier", nice names. And thank you for the Video!

It's nice to keep some stuff in circulation just for other's convenience, and you'll make a fair share of gil market boarding from time to time yeah

I store my materia in the saddle bag simply to ensure I can access it when I need it even during raids since my static is half Light half Chaos so when we are raiding on Chaos, I won't have access to my retainers.

THANK YOU

I use saddle bags for fishing bait so I always have it available on the world map, but it doesn't clog my inventory.

I always lack poetics. There are so many things you can use them for.

There's enough armoury space to have a set of each poetic gear for every job type for lv50 to lv80, might as well make use of it and it's nice to already have the gear ready when you do start levelling those jobs. There otherwise isn't much of value to spend poetics on. And I wouldn't suggest downgrading all low level HQ items, check the value first. There's always a market for them as there's often times people who are levelling their crafter jobs but are too lazy to do the gathering for everything.

This needs to apply for veterans too! 😂 i spent an 2 hours last night cleaning out mine. I accidently deleted some precious armors too

Huh, looks like i don't have access to retainers. Meaning i gotta manage 210 inventory slots, so thanks for the other tips they're really useful!

So I should discard some of the unsellable items I cannot vendor/sell or desynth? Kind of my gripe is that the game just stuffs everything in the inventory

Yeah just a note. Shire gear is bought with tomes which is capped for gains until much later in the game and typically is the best gear set for 5-8 levels after their required equip level. Most jobs in the same role type use the same gear so time gear isn’t always worth the pitifully small amount of GC seals you get in return. Now vendoring all the floor trash from duties absolutely go nuts because if you rerun those duties you won’t even be able to get dupes until you GC vendor them so there is no point in hanging into those.

5:46 Personally, I do think it is a good idea to buy gear for your alt jobs, but only for the up coming levels. For example, if the class is below lvl 50, buy only the lvl 50 poetics set. Back when I was a new player, playing all the jobs as I progressed my MSQ, I struggled to earn enough poetics to buy the gear I needed for my jobs. The 2000 cap of poetics is not enough to buy a fullset of gear, and doing your dailies only gives you 1000-1500 poetics. I think the armory chest is definitely sufficient enough to store multiple sets of the same type of gear at different levels (Except weapons) And there's definitely other uses for poetics other than gear, such as relic weapon materials, misc items and items which you can sell for Gil.

Selling reagents on the market board that are worth a few hundred gil isn't worth it, he says. And, yet, I was lvl 30 something (Currently lvl 60 on main. I'm new) when I made my first million gil, selling stacks of things like rocksalt, quicksilver and iron ore, that I bought from the reagent merchant (literaly right next to the retainer bell) for 3 gil ea. and sold for 40 gil ea. Never under estimate how lazy some people are. They'll rather pay a few thousand gil at the market board for a stack of reagents they could have easily bought for less than 200 gil at the merchant 😅

Rock salt now goes for an everage of 100 -150 gil a piece in my server and it sells like hot cakes. I can easily make 25k a day from rock salt alone.

In case you're skeptical about downgrading HQ items: all crafting classes get a skill which, at higher levels, instantly fills their quality meter for any crafted item of level 80 or below. That means they don't need an increase to quality from HQ reagents, because they just have to press one button to make quality irrelevant (again, except for 81+ materials), which means HQ and normal items are, for most intents and purposes, exactly the same. I didn't realize this for a while, which made me think low-level HQ materials were more valuable than they actually were.

I think they still have a market though. For people who are currently levelling crafters and need HQ for their Job Quest turn ins. Especially because they quite often out-level their gear without realising. Not a huge market by all means and only specific mats but they do still have uses.

@@manandtoy Yeah, I'm not suggesting HQ mats are COMPLETELY useless-only that there is a much smaller market for them than you might expect, since higher-level crafters simply don't need them AT ALL to produce HQ items.

@@alaaesong164 Outside of certain items required for HW DoH job quests, and level 81-90 items, the distinction is meaningless. Furthermore, the Market Board interface shows the purchase history for items with the prices paid, and there is no indication there that HQ items sell for more value or sell more frequently. I'll trust the MB data over your one anecdote.

Small addition from me personal rules: npc-sell things that only worth less than 200 gil or worth less than twice of npc-sell worth, latter one mostly for things like materias since their grade 9 or lower r now considered worthless over mb these days as of current (also applies to any over-meldable ones on future expansions). Personally your 1000 gil worth rule still a bit too lenient for space management, but each 2 their own. ;)

Thank you. The inventory system in this game is so confusing. normal inventory, retainers, armoury chest, saddlebags, glamour dresser etc. Why not just have one inventory, one bank and maybe a glamour collection where every item just gets unlocked as you collect it so you can safely dismantle but still use for glamour.

Yeah, wow does inventory stuff way better. Still not enough bank space, hence bank alts, but way less confusing.

I have mess of inventory not like I carry crap but I'm a crafter that likes selling in the marketboard and I feel like I need all my mats because the market changes so fast on what sells good or bad, But I need that stack of 3 potash because I never know If I'm going to craft with it some housing item!

As a Free Trial player, it's hard to balance a clean inventory while having the 300k gil cap. I've started collecting the gil pouches from quests to save space, and selling normal crafted materials, only keeping the enhanced versions. Lately I just got to HW and, just to spend gil to sell inventory items, bought the entire Ninja set for both lvl 58 and 60. Still had about 50k gil left, but let me open my inventory again so I can focus on my next job and items for them. Ended up reselling the lvl58 ninja set after reaching lvl60, but the idea was to open the gil so selling items wasn't a complete waste.

Didn’t you just waste the gil by buying for a lot, and selling for a fraction? I bought a stacks of top lvl repair thingy, and a full stack of chokobo cabbage, but after reaching the cap for 3rd time I just can’t be bothered anymore. The money is easy to get anyway, no need to worry about those few thousand Gil you left on the table.

@max7971 The point was to open inventory slots. As a f2p player, wasting the gil on things I might need, to be able to open the ability to sell the load of small gil items gumming up my inventory was kind of the point. Even leveling crafters, I end up buying, for instance, iron ore to make iron ingots, and sell them after crafting them. Loss of gil, but doesn't waste the gil I'd otherwise lose from just selling everything while I'm gil capped. Keeps my inventory cleaner while still keeping some gil for TPing and other small things

Is there any stackable item you recommend buying on the free trial that i may need later I'm capped at 300k and losing gil constantly, i spent 100k and im capped again half a day later

This is such a useful video that I feel you must have come from the Unsundered World! What would absolutely make it Azem-Tier would be if you added an addendum, or even a comment on what to do about FOOD DROPS! I get so many of these, and half the time I don't even remember to use them, to say nothing about which ones I should use when (except for the gathering and crafting ones, which are obvious). And is it just me, or does 3% exp boost and some minor stat boosts just seem like it's not a noticeable enough difference to justify the inv. space (at least outside of the top-tier versions). Please help me, Jolsn or community! I have two pages of this crap, and most of it MBs for around 20% more than just vendering it into oblivion.

@@Jolsn Thank you very much! Love your work here. your key bind video has revolutionized my gameplay, by the way.

Overall great video, but I don`t quite agree on poetics. Mb it is because i level a lot of jobs, so i constantly need them - buying gear in advance is the only way for me. Would be cool if a cap for poetics would be as high as for seals, but alas.. As for items you get along the way - unless they were from a treasure map chest, or unless they are from "extremes" - yeah, they are not particularly valuable. Stuff that drops at the rate, enough for you to accumulate said items - usually is cheap. Still, getting even 1000 gil for bunch of hides is not that bad, just don`t lose you mind trying to get rich on those easily obtainable items.

How do we discern items that we can easily get again from dungeons and items that we may never find again I have a hard time with expert deliveries because I’m not sure what other class I might want to try and don’t want to get rid of future useful items

Also might I suggest making another video about what items you absolutely SHOULD make sure you don’t vendor since it is important or valuable? I damn need NOC’d my first of two free Tav onions from MSQ before someone told me what they did and they were running 140k a pop at the time.

Level 1/2 materia are used in a step of the ARR relic grind if I'm not mistaken, so they fetch a pretty decent price on the marketboard. If you don't plan on getting one of the ARR relics, I'd recommend selling them! Besides that, I'd recommend only keeping materia of the highest grade or 1/2 grades below to use in endgame. Before that, melding materia into your gear just isn't worth it.

Your jobs on retainers do matter. You can have either: BOT/MIN/FISH - DoL Gatherer retainers who can be sent out to gather any materials depending on their class (ores/wood/fish etc). They can only bring back items you have gathered previously yourself. These are affected by Gathering stat on their gear. Higher gathering stat allows them to gather higher level items and increases number of items obtained during the venture. Depending on the mat this can be anywhere between one (for rare mats like Thanalan topsoil) and 50 of a single item. DoM/DoW - Hunter retainers who are able to gather skins and drops from beasts in the world. Does not matter if you have or haven't obtained them before. They will gather mats up to their level. These are affected by iLevel stat on their gear. Higher iLvl stat allows them to hunt higher level items and increases number of items obtained during the venture to a max of 15 per item.

@manandtoy

Жыл бұрын

Oh forgot to say your retainer level cannot exceed your own in that particular job/class. So if you're not planning on levelling DoL (Gatherer) classes don't make them that. Likewise if you've started a DoM/DoW job but don't plan on levelling it up, don't make them that either. You can change your retainers job by purchasing an item from the retainer vocate for 40 ventures. You strip your retainer of their gear and the option should pop up to change their job. This will reset them back to 0 and they will need to be levelled up again.
