Companion Gear Vault Request

aetherix8 · February 17

Could we please get a storage option reserved for companion’s gear? Something similar to the furnishing vault, ESO+, etc.? Storing all that gear wasn’t an issue at first, but now it starts to be problematic - gear that I keep in case there are new companions or if I want to change their current setup, on top of new stuff that keeps dropping… A dedicated storage would be a wonderful addition, as my storage chests are already full with my toons’ gear and other important items.

I feel like it would be more appropriate if Companions were able to carry their own spare gear to some extend. furthermore, I would really want a way to properly manage all the gear that is distributed across my companions without having to check each one individually.

For me, Companions with integrated extra inventory slots pose this additional problem, precisely, of having to remember who carries what exactly. And trying to switch their setups and gear would be even more complicated.

It reminds me of trying to recall what gold gear I stored on my unused alts, and what's in my chests. At this point, I should just make a spreadsheet, so lost I am in my own gear, and now I see more and more companion gear that I've stocked a bit in a bank and a bit on another alt... It all starts to be overwhelming.

Some kind of small vault (let's say 100 slots) only for companion gear would be a great relief.

A role toggle with different skills and gear that swap automatically. What an idea.

Then perhaps we could settle for a house that would allow us to summon all our companions and interact with their menu, also equipped with a companion armory system and a companion storage vault. Then we would only need a new companion armory assistant.

Edit: I agree that armory would be also awesome; trying different roles on 8 companions is a bit of a headache with all the summoning.

Like, let's say you get 36 inventory slots per every companion you unlock, with those slots being accessible all together in the same dedicated inventory page, separate from Bank.
But we should still be able to store it elsewhere if we want, cause I'd still have more companion gear to store anyway...

Companion gear makes so little difference, there's no reason to hoard it. I don't think a new system should be developed and added just so people can store gear that they don't need yet that will make a marginal difference.

Instead, I hope we keep getting inventory quality-of-life improvements so that there's less pressure on all items.

If we could craft and decon companion gear that would solve the issue for me.
