Optimizing Storage - Tips and options -

cmcorms

Hello all! How is everyone doing today?

I've been pondering somewhat with storage in my house. As of now I have a storage chest dedicated for each of my 8 characters (60 slot chests go to characters I use more often).
I'm just curious about what your set up is.

I did have a set up based on armour weigh class (heavy, medium, light sets) however I found I was running out of room quickly (I already know I hoard way to much stuff)

So ya, basically the question is what is your set up like??

(Also if there is already a thread like this one, please link and I can close this one. I searched a bit but couldnt find anything on this)

Thanks all!

I have a Chest for Undaunted Helms, Undaunted Shoulders, Big Armors, and Small Armors
I have a Coffer for Ranged Weapons, Melee Weapons, and Master Writs I can't complete yet
I'm still working on getting my last Coffer
And they are all full, and have been full since ten minutes after I placed them

And my banker has a ton of jewelry and Armors still

I have spent hours going through and deconning doubles

So, I would love to be able to get more storage chests

Oh more storage isnt even the question hahaha. Oh how massive hoarders we all are eh.

Very interesting though.

So when you say big and small armours is that the type (gaunlet, chest, legs, etc) or is that heavy, med, light?

And yea I have the same trouble with doubles... I dont want to decon them but I really need to.

Bigs are head, chest, and leg armor. Smalls are shoulder, hands, feet, and waist. It was just my first thought in how to divide all armor into two classifications.

Yes, I have been hoarding too much. I might just break down and decon all the armor/weapon sets from non-DLC dungeons or trials. That way if I ever need them I could just go farm them without much trouble. They're taking up too much space.

cmcorms

I really like that idea actually as it only uses 2 chests.

And yea I think I'm at that point too. Running regular dungeons even on vet is easy enough and more often then not someone in the group finds the item you are looking for and will share it. As do I if someone is looking.

I guess I'll be playing the inventory mini-game between Jewelry Crafting grinds this week

I make sure to only save weapons and jewelry from trial sets I want to hold onto but am not actively using. I only hold jewelry and weapons for valuable overland sets and hard to farm dungeon sets. Body pieces can be farmed on normal and unless I am actively using the set for a build, I do not save the pieces as I get them. No point to do that. So my bank is in good shape.

In my bank, I save Monster helms and shoulders, purple jewelry for overland/dungeon sets, and weapons for those same sets. Set pieces for gear I am currently farming, treasure maps, and recipes for my crafter to learn.

I also have a chests:

1 for gold gear that I am not using but do not want to decon.

1 for treasure maps (been saving them since the announcement of jewelry crafting and Summerset. Going to farm all the maps for jewelry to decon and set pieces to sell)

1 for furnishings and Worm Cult motifs


1 for trials jewelry and weapons for sets that I don't plan to use but could be useful in the future (very glad I saved advancing yokeda jewelry and weapons when I got them in good traits)

What I am basically picking up here is most dungeon sets arent worth keeping. With exceptions maybe being DLC.

I really do agree with overland sets being a pain, but having a world solo character does help in my case.

Very interesting responses so far...

Of course I am having an issue with the fact that I have multiple sets for a couple of toons, and working towards sets for others.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. The sets are only as good as the build you are attempting to put together. Of course, there are highly valuable sets to hold onto. But (and this is my opinion) you should only save the weapons and jewelry as they are the most difficult to farm because they either take a large amount of time or you have to do the dungeon in vet to get the better jewelry. Body pieces are super easy to farm, especially with the transmutation system. You can farm a full body set of gear, in any trait, in 2 or 3 runs through a dungeon if you are transmuting the traits. If you have 4 people willing to trade, you could have a full set in 1 or 2 runs with the right RNG.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do while working towards full sets for toons. I usually keep the set pieces locked in the inventory of the toon I am farming with. That way, I can instantly decon duplicates or off trait pieces for gear I do not need. It provides an easy avenue to identify the pieces I still need and keeps the clutter out of my bank until I am done farming.

And I have 15 characters, so I truly understand the struggle of gearing up multiple builds at the same time.

Very good points there. I especially like the locking sets into toons idea which isnt something I have really looked into (besides my mains)

I dont think I have a terrible set up.... But it could definitely be a lot better and more ideas passed around the better eh?

Aurie

I have all my housing stuff split between the eight containers. They each hold a different type of item.

I don't need them for gear, as I do not hold on to it. All gear goes to the toon who is currently leveling crafting for decon, and who is also destined to become my chief jewelry crafter. It's amazing how quickly the levels are increasing

Jaeysa

I have:
1 for treasure maps
2 for surveys(I do a *lot* of writs, usually 8 or so per day)
1 for RP gear
1 for luxury items I'm holding for resale
1 for Master writs(I usually stockpile them)
2 for furnishings I have a lot of but don't use frequently.

All are usually full or close.
