I can only assume coins from WoE are now gonna rain down on us.

This should have been done years ago with many items.

Now do this for all potions, ethers, elixers, status curing meds, etc.

OH, YEAH!!!

Native throwing skill for MNK!

They're bumping up certain items stack sizes to 12 as a part of the update as well. That's what I'm wanting for all medicines.

yeah... I have about 10-15 stacks of jugs clogging my inv at any one time.

I would support something to help my BST friends out too, don't get me wrong. But the one possibly reasonable excuse for not making BST jugs stack to 99 is that the price for a stack might become too high for some BSTs to afford or too burdensome for crafters to bother trying to synth.

For PUP, I simply don't see that as an issue - most PUPs buy Oils from the cheaper NPC anyway (500 a pop for +2, when a stack of 12 hovers around 10k on my server on the AH), and there's nothing game breaking about letting us carry more than 12 oils in a slot. It's not like PUP can go crazy using oils either, we're limited by the Repair timer (much like BSTs have the call beast timer to worry about).

While we're at it, it's absurd that the universal NIN tools can't be used on /NIN. This does absolutely nothing but hog inventory space, and in fact it takes up MORE space if you have both universal tools for your NIN main and individual elemental tool stacks for your /NIN use (which is common in Abyssea with yellow proc!). When I'm running around on MNK/NIN and I'm taking 10 whole slots on NIN tools (Shihei, Monomi/Tonko, the 6 elemental tools, and Kurayami), that's too much.

Would of thought they'd add the emp stuff to 99 too (Glavoid Shells,Orthrus Claws,etc

Seriously, agreed. On NIN main, I have ShikaInoCho toolbag stacks in my Mog Sack and broken individual stacks in my main inventory, as well as all of the individual tool stacks in my Mog Sack that I have to move to my main inventory when I'm /NIN. It's pretty silly at ths stage of the game to have to use frumpteen (I made that number up!) inventory spaces for a chance at a random proc - but it comes with the territory I suppose. It'd still be nice to have them consolidated!



Prepping Ukon and Twashtar at once!

Because the last trial for empys was 75 of an item. That's 7 inventory slots at 12. And you damn well know the next trial will be 99 of something.

Why? 8.25 stacks of jugs and one stack of 99 jugs would cost exactly the same. Every BST is spending exactly the same amount of money, and the crafters are spending the same amount of money, we're just wasting less inventory space and AH slots. Not like any crafter ever makes jugs or biscuits. Only ever 2-3 jugs and zeta biscuits up for sale, and you have to make the rest yourself anyway.

They have outright said they won't do it though, simply "because it would be a lot of work." Could at least quiver them you lazy bastards.

I wonder if it would be hard to program allowing things to be put on the AH in stacks of 12 or 99. For example, put up 12 crossbow bolt heads or 99.
