That would be a shame and a waste. It needs to be worthwhile since if it has augments its not storable.

Think Organizer is your only option on Windower, not sure as I don't follow everything that comes out. Packer is better than Dressme on Ashita.
Don't have to do it exactly how I outlined, but most space issues are really organization issues.

Organizer can't grab gear from wardrobes or store it in there, can it? The way I've ended having to do is to keep all my multi-job gear in wardrobes and use Organizer to swap out all the JSE equipment between safes and my main inventory when changing jobs.
JSE equipment along with consumables doesn't leave much room for new drops, though...

Could never justify spending more a month to get extra inventory space in a game with a crazy amount of rare, exclusive, and often augmentable equipment you either cannot store or go without. Wardrobes 3 & 4 should've been a quality of life update. I'm not a gear hoarder, and I use organizer to quickly switch jobs so it's a bit easier for me. However, I know if I geared up a few more jobs the game will become an inventory management simulator. I shouldn't feel uneasy with the thought of gearing all jobs to some degree.
SE's been reluctant to offer free space for years, and it could partially be anti-RMT practice to limit inventory. Problem there is, RMT only carry the minimum to do what they need, so if anything it hurts the players more. I want lockstyle gear for all my jobs .. but there's no way I'm wasting space. Not allowed to have fun. So if anything it forces some players to focus on a few jobs instead of all. When you're playing with 18 players a week this is possible. When you're a group of 6-8? Getting the right people on the needed jobs geared to the max? Jeez. You'd prefer players with as many jobs available so you can dial in the right party setup, but having little inventory discourages diversity in a game with so many options.
Sadly the only way to fix this is with some bold moves. Either they need to introduce wardrobe 5 & 6 for free, or like others suggested some kind of job specific inventory. A bag for JSE equipment would make a lot of sense. I'd also like to see a bag only for augmentable gear if it were possible (but not JSE augments). Something for equip with "All Jobs" would be another step. Better yet, and some would probably burn SE down for all the gil spent on stones .. but bringing out new gear which make some of the Reisenjima roulette wheel gear obsolete would save space.
The issue with that .. is the new gear would need to cover many different situations and they'd require a crazy amount of varied stats. And they can't make them with "paths" either, I'm sick of having to collect something to trade to someone every time I get new gear. I can't see the new Ambuscade weapons being anything special. They'll be stopgap gear, and I have no faith any of them will come close to the best we can find. It helps casual players progress easier to the endgame.

IF and this is a big ol IF here, but if they do some decent ambu weapons I would for more utility pieces over just stat vomit items. Best guess is they are talking about the new pattern of lvl 1 beastmen weapons. Dynamis weapons and necks were a high utility boost for a lot of jobs so I am happy for now being busy gettin and ranking those up. None of that fixes inventory issues tho so heh.

I wished I won the mega millions lotto. Would've funded a graphics/ui overhaul. There's a lot of things that I like and dislike about the game but the one thing that's been bothering me since I first subbed was why cant I see my belts and capes on my character.

Prices are already coming down from this weaker campaign. Prices will drop at least for a bit after this one.

I'm sooooo glad I didn't use any of my real vacation time on my family or anything, because these campaigns came at the most appropriate time of the year!! I'm feeling a cold coming on for ten days!!!!
Corsair Shards and Swart Detritus price should fall for a bit at least as well.

0:00 (0 days)
60:00 (2.5 days)
120:00 (5 days)
180:00 (7.5 days)
And it's 10 days, 7 hours.. so if you are right on top of timers and don't have any conflict with sleep you really could squeeze 5.

Actually it would end up being 4 runs if you entered just at the moment the update launched:
Nov 20 12:00am (first run)
Nov 23 12:00pm (second run; 60 hours later)
Nov 26 12:00am third run
Nov 29 12:00pm (fourth run)
Campaign ends @ 6:59 AM on Nov. 30

Of course the good stuff happens while folks in the states are recovering from their turkey coma. Most groups tend not to do anything during that weekend anyhow.

The anti-predator domain invasion campaign doesn’t make sense. How is that a good thing? They need to make them easier to kill lowman so we can at least max out the vorseals regen and refresh. I think that’s a fair campaign for the other two bosses.

Why would swart price drop? you think more ppl will do Omen for cards and farm Swarts because of campaign? Highly doubt that. Peopl who farm card farm Omen no matter what, so the amount of runs wont change and afaik campaign doesnt boost Swart drop rate.

The Anti Predator campaign means that they won't fly (and only be damaged by ranged/magic), not that they won't spawn. The other campaign means they won't spawn adds. Those campaigns are easy mode for Domain Invasion, and a prime time to get your kills in.

There are dozens of players, every single night, who do not solo Omen cards/swarts because its either too hard for them, or they are too lazy. I know this because every day, invariably, on one of my LSs, someone will say something like "I need omen cards" or "I wish someone would set up a card farming run". Without campaigns, you hardly see shouts. On Asura during Card campaigns, there are literally card runs day and night, which means more people farming omen for cards (and swarts). Swarts [either scale up with people(?) or] are affected by TH, so it's not hard to get a ton of swarts in a run. I typically get 7-10/run as MNK with zero TH.
More people doing Card runs means more Swarts, means price should go down. Not that the price hasn't already been tanking as it is. They were 300k a few weeks ago when I started farming them from omen. By the time I finally farmed up a stack, they went down to 210k, and hit 170k this past weekend. The price definitely will go down a bit more

If ppl will setup pug card runs, it will most likely be 6 or 12+ people and Swarts dont scale with more ppl and also most I got with TH8+ was 18 (I solo farmed 600+ so far with various jobs), but it's 10 on avg, so it will most likely be 1-2 Swarts per person. I dont think that can impact prices much.
