Bank/Inventory Space - Are You a Packrat?Follow

I literally just finished trying to resort components in my bank for the Research skill, which I have not yet started on my Chanter (waiting for the Arcane Tongues and Salvage AA's).

All of my main characters are stuffed to the brim. I save all items of quests I may someday wish to do and many, many trade skill components. I even have a Cracked Staff on my Druid, which I wield proudly back in the days it was ubber. (Yes, I know these days did not last long at all.)

On the upside, whenever I try to go back and do a quest or tradeskill, I find I have a base level of components and items. Just always a pain having to figure out how to make room for new influxes of shiny things! *Glares to either side, protective of his Halfling pride like a ferret*

All of the new bank slots from Ykesha (the extra 8) have been appropriated by 10-slot containers, all of which have at least 1 research Words per slot. The 2 shared? Two toolkits full of Bazaar junk.

i have made toons for simple reason of having run outta space , having a druid main doesnt help :) and doing trades on 4 toons means a lot of shifting around shared . am coping atm but wouldnt mind some breathing space, remembering where i put things is main prob , always seem to have to go thru all toons just to find one item needed to finish quest/skill.

My main character is full to the brim... my bazaar mule is half full, and my tradeskill supply mule is full to the brim.

The extra bank slots are one of the two reasons why I'm going to buy PoR. The second one is the war horse mount.

I don't think that I will be able to use much of the content yet...

My main is usually at 80%

My trader mule is also usually at 60%-90% depending on how good the sales are going.

And now for the pathetic department......I've created 3 other character just for the puspose of holding items. All 3 are perma-camped in PoK by main bank. One char hold nothing but furs. One hold nothing but bricks. One holds everything else. My main just holds the No Drop quest pieces. Logging in and out is not too big of a pain in the butt.

As you can guess, I'm a trade skill adict. I'm also working on about 5 quests, of which two are huge (Epic and Prayer Shawl).

That being said....I won't be rusing out for the new expansion. I still have 3 unused chars, so that leaves me 480 slots to fill. If I ever get to that point, then I need Professional Help and the expansion won't help me.

There is tons of unused content for me in the 9 expansions that I have. The only reason to jump on the new expansion so quickly would be to locate and use/exploit bugs that Sony is famous for having in every new release. That is kind of sleazy is my opinion, so I won't be rushing out anytime soon.

Just my opinion. Thanks for reading.

Have alts that do not have bank full of containers.
But my main will avoid quests that have containers
for lack of space.

One reason I haven't done more don tradeskilling is
lack of space for the backpack of molds/patterns.
Need one more drop for VT key to free up a bank slot.

Not only am I out of "storage" space, but I have 2 "mule" toons to hold my spillover. The delima is that I, like many, actually tradeskill. It seems that the average recipe (atleast for spell research) is comprised of 10-20 pieces, and every spell has different pages, inks, solutions, etc. If SOE wants to make the combines as cumbersome as it is, perhapse they should come out with a 25 or 30 slot container for tradeskill components only?

If if wern't for my trader mule I would be out of room. Only thing is he's getting full to the rim. Between trade skills and epics for atleast 4 chars it is tight at times. But as i find bigger and more wr bags it tends to get somewhat better.

In response to Horwoodlake's post.... I agree that expansions are coming too fast. I have a ton of content i'm still working on. Every time a new expansion comes out people flock to do the new content. This makes it extremely difficult to find anyone interested in working on DoN progression or DoD spell missions. The price of GM armor has doubled or tripled because no one does DoN's anymore so the uncommon components like metallic drake scales are getting hard to come by. I have the first 10 expansions, don't think i'm going to rush to get the 11th either.

On the Mac version we only have 8 bank slots...nothing shared. That really is the only thing I wished SOE would add.....until we kill Quarm, that is. =)

You missed an option in this poll:

My bank is full and all the alts I created are full and I'm considering buying another account for more banking space
