Do you have a hoarding problem?

[Zillee]

I find one of the joys of hardcore is to not have the years of stuff that I've hoarded, and the time spent on storage management. I sometimes get surprised by what I have kept when I'm on a slow day and browsing through the mules. I've a bunch of scrolls that can only be used by an arcane caster. Not that I have an arcane caster and nor am I planning to have one either. But ... you never know, right?

Big time hoarder here.

As soon as I get the chance I am going to start moving stuff to shared bank and deleting mules with an emphasis on feeding the sentient gems in the process.

By get the chance I mean as soon as I can buy enough slots in the shared bank. 270 might get rid of a mule or two but I am going to need 400 or so to sweep the decks.

Short answer: Yup.

Longer answer: I have characters I can't really play because I've filled their inventory and character banks with stuff from the shared bank so I could put more stuff in the shared bank.

Personally, I would love to see a way to stack or combine the XP Stones.

As would the vast majority of the player base but they won't do it.

I used to horde quite a bit but really not as bad anymore. It is about time to do some cleaning though - my main and alt have full banks/inventory atm.

Nope

I keep it very minimal because it’s just easier imagine experienced that on the regular servers because you rarely have to go back & forth to mules

Does every update break stuff?

I'm a hoarder.. its not a problem... Storage is..

[Annex]

Nope. Back in 2020, I decided to start collecting everything I found because successful players seem to do that. By 2022, I realized that was a complete waste of my time, very not fun, and cleared house. During the recent storage sale I purchased over 200 units of space and retired 5 storage characters. For the next 3 or 4 storage sales I expect to continue consolidation. Once I get equipment sets made, I am feeding all the extra pieces to sentient weapons which will make more space still. I expect to have a sizable inventory surplus by mid 2023.

My system does require the occasional effort to find an important piece, but I am good with that. I found it took far more time to manage spreadsheets and sort items to and from storage characters than to just make a loot run for the occasional important item. Further, the loot runs generate even more sentient experience for my weapons.

All my remaining storage maids are fully functional characters. (Some are better than my real characters. -_- ) They will self generate the currency for future storage expansion.

My solution will not work for everyone. You must do what is right for you. If you enjoy collecting, collect!

I should note, if your goal is achieving all past life feats, my system will set you back. You will want to invest the maximum of time in your one super character, not mess with leveling storage characters.

Definitely. They would only take a total of 21 slots if they stacked (there are 21 different denominations).
Unfortunately, in a thread a few months ago (I think), Cordovan stated that they have no plans to make XP stones stack—since it would encourage hoarding them.

I really wish they would reconsider, given the daily gold rolls for VIPs. Consuming stones beyond level 5 is pointless, so we’re encouraged to hoard them anyway.

[mikarddo]

No, I dont really hoard much. I have around 80 items on each of my played chars in my TR cache which I can just about empty right after a TR. I dont keep all minor artifacts, nor do I have one of each of the items from Ravenloft, Sharn etc.

Yet, I am still having trouble with the inventory system which is annoying. Ideas to improve:
- Make minor artifacts BtA.
- Make any other items that are currently BtC below level 29 BtA instead.
- Make xp stones of the same value stack and optimally a way to further make those stack.
- Up the value of turning in +reaper items.
- Add a +mythic system

Basically, make it easier to store items in less room AND reduce the reason to store everything.

Well, and adding more shared bank space (100s, not 10s) would be cool.

[Eantarus]

I'm not a hoarder, DDO just has too many items and not enough storage.

To clarify: I play a lot of alts. I know, having alts in this game is a mistake, but I get bored of my main. They get ranked according to over-all power(some are silly ridiculous builds who get the worst gear, others have PLs/EPLs and can take on real challenges, etc). Every time a new one levels up, he needs gear. His old gear gets passed to one of the others. Its hard to know whats optimal. The best-in-slot item for one character at one power level might be garbage for another. Then there's all the crafted gear, trophies, etc.

I don't bother saving things like scrolls or potions, its all just BtA named items. Hundreds... upon hundreds... of BtA named items...

I don't have a hoarding problem. Hoarding is fun, and part of what I enjoy about the game.

I have a lack of storage problem.

You guys make me smile =)

HUm lets see.. account with 24 character slots. 4 are toons I play, the other 20 are mules. Each mule carries named gear like 1 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 14, 15 to 20, 21 to 24, 25 to 28, 29 by itself, one with max bank space for set items from sharn and ravenloft . Have a heroic feywild loots mule , a epic feywild loots mule .. You kind of get the point.. and the thing is.. I really havent farmed Saltmarsh and Isle of Dread. matter of a fact I may have done the quests in both those expansions maybe 3 times each.. I just dont have any room for any gear if it drops. So i dont bother doing the new content.

I dont have junk on the mules, its all decent named items from every where in the game. it all serves a purpose depending on what I am playing. Im sure I could just go through like a whirl wind and just start tossing stuff, but the moment I do, it will be something I needed that I tossed. Everytime they come out with new gear, it allows for so many more ways to customize your gear, and those pieces you couldnt fit in before, now you can.. so its hard getting rid of stuff.

Personally, I would love to see a way to stack or combine the XP Stones.

That would help some. I know we collect them as we level up a toon.

What I would really like to see, and this is just dreaming here....

All items become BTA.

Nothing in the game is BTC.

Get rid of the TR cache. Just have to put everything into your shared bank. Dont have room in your shared bank? then buy spaces, or move some stuff to a mule

Increase the capacity of the Shared bank default to like ( im just making up a number ) 1000 , or whatever number would be ideal to hold stuff in the game. You can buy additional Shared bank spaces, like increase capacity by 50 for each you buy or atleast 100 because thats more than you can do with a mule of 80 spaces with out upgrades.

It would be so nice to get rid of things that probably bog the servers down, tr cache, people continually logging in and out to get on mules putting items into the shared bank , log in , log out over and over..
Also it would be nice to use the new tab system to have all the items be organized into just 1 shared bank space.. Im sure people will still have mules, but it could cut down on the amount of them, and people can delete them if they are no longer needed.

So if I showed the DD stone mechanic to any gamer, they would look at it and go "Yeah, that's what that mechanic is for. You save stones and use them all at once" Simple, right?

Except the devs tell us that's not how we're supposed to be using DD stones.

Which brings us to the question of exactly what the devs think we're supposed to be using them for?

-The amount of exp is far too low to noticeably speed up leveling
-The price-per-role is far too high to justify paying for bump when you need it

The only logical use is horde them or ignore the mechanic entirely.

Do you have a quote for the Devs saying that we aren’t intended to save Daily Dive stones?

The XP is enough to make a difference if you consume them on the daily it’s just not as noticeable as using them to skip a few early levels
