I'm really itching at the idea of selling/deleting everything that's not specifically equipped/gear-setted on my character. its either that or restarting on a new character Purge everything. Nothing important is forever lost. If it's from a seasonal event, you can get it again from the salvager. Otherwise, everything is replaceable.

Might check to see if you can store anything in your armoire in any inn room, especially if you ever bought any cosmetics from the store. Also if you ditch a relic weapon it could be painful to re-acquire, but if you're tryin' to spark joy now, that's probably not going to be the most major concern.

My rule is that if you don't remember how to get it, it's not important enough to keep around.

jalapeno_dude posted:Is there actual data on abandon rates? I'd love to see it. But my suspicion on the 89 trial is that, since the game all but yells at you to do it with a trust, a significant portion of the first timers in it are people who literally couldn't manage to complete the trial with trusts. How is that even possible? I poo poo the bed on that fight so bad and the trust still managed to drag my rear end through it.

Some people just...can't do a single thing if you have to look at something that's not orange on the floor. Looking at the boss is apparently far too hard. Even at 89, after many hours of gameplay.

If I'm running 89 with one newbie and it disbands because half the raid keeps dying, it's not the newbie's fault.

I always hate trying to clear out my crafting mats, because you honestly never know when you're going to need a potato from two expansions ago for the next tier of raid food.

The next tier of raid food is half a year away. Personally my "I might need it later" is fishing bait, even though I haven't gone non-ocean fishing in ages.

Bruceski posted:The next tier of raid food is half a year away. Sure, but if I already have 400 potatoes, then that frees my retainers and I up to farm radishes. And yeah, my chocobo saddlebag is loaded with bait because other than certain fish needing scrip bait, I'm never clear on if I just need the highest level freshwater/saltwater bait and that's fine, or if I still need the low level bait for if I ever try to do my fishing log

The rare case that old mats are required for common items, they're trivial to gather in bulk. Or send your retainers. If you do need a shadowbringers potato, 30 minutes actively gathering will give you a stack, or you can just send our your retainer for like 50 every half hour.

And if you use something like Teamcraft, it's so easy to be routed to get old mats.

Yeah, getting back into fishing has gotten me into full Inventory Hell Mode, and I need to be more ruthless about culling baits and just desynthing fish, because it's not even worth putting these "one of these sells for 100 gil every two weeks" fish on the MB.

I abandon the 89 trial on principle if there's a newbie because they really should be doing it the way the game all but tells you you should do it and if I leave first they won't get a leavers penalty so have no excuse.

I regularly clear my inventory by going to my retainers and selling everything, either to the vendor or on the marketboard. I check prices as I go; if the stack of whatever thing I have goes for less than 1k total, I vendor it. I never actually run out of retainer selling space because it turns out most things are trash. I rarely even need to move to my second retainer. If I need something later I can just buy it from the marketboard. It's like infinite storage for a small fee! My retainers themselves are full of glamours I wanted to keep but are for a low-priority job (the dresser is full of healer and all-job stuff). My saddlebag is full of dyes.

I tried to off-tank the 89 trial with trusts and this went hilarious wrong because the AI can't handle it and so Thancred kills everyone.

how does it go wrong because, like, there's maybe one thing for a tank to do in the 89 trial that actually matters? (don't point the buster at the party)

The whole point of the duty roulette system is to get bodies that can clear content into content for people who want to clear it. You probably shouldn't queue for a roulette that contains content you're for some reason morally against doing with pubbies cause all you're doing is making a worse experience for everyone, yourself included.

I queued up for the 89 trial immediately, the game doesn't demand you do anything with the trust NPCs since all post fight cutscenes will play out like you did it with them anyway. It's also very story driven and impactful and cool and all but I actually didn't pick up on why it's different from any other fight in the game unless you're really devoted to emotional payoff for the Scions as characters... and the game plays out like you used them anyway! Hell just did the 6.2 dungeon, same deal. Lots of great catharsis for lil bro and Estinien, no actual obligation to use 'em. The only real hurdle is we wiped once to attrition and then tried again with understanding of the red and green weapon swap aoes.  Oh, is the 89 trial the one time they let you use the Scions for a Trial? That's a little bit of incentive but hardly a push. Hell, I assume most people use roulette for new dungeons and you get the notice that you can "enter the dungeon with Trust NPCs" after you clear it.

The after-dungeon notice is actually the separate Trust system of leveling the "Avatars" of each character. Which doesn't reward anything except a nifty title and the ability to swap which glam the NPCs use. Also, I always do my MSQ run of dungeons with the NPCs, because I do like having that emotional connection to the characters and seeing what they have to say about the dungeon.
