Inventory Management
What do people do about it?
Suffer. I was particularly annoyed at the extra books. Not one book, no, that would be too easy. Let’s give ’em three! And a new non-wallet currency, too, just for fun!
I try to keep my boosters and other such items in the bank, but it’s gotten to the point where half of my inventory is permanently occupied by junk I barely ever use.
They want you to buy additional character slots for mules, inventory slots/bags, etc.
Most inventory management issues cannot be solved by buying additional character slots, bag slots, or bank tabs. Or at least, not that alone. Obviously, more room helps with managing inventory, but most people just use it to hoard even more stuff.
For the OP:
- If it’s a bag/container, open it, salvage everything. That’s not the most economically-efficient choice for later, but it’s a quick way to get some room.
- If it’s a trophy marked as “needed only for a collection”, sell or delete.
- If it’s not marked, post 5-6 such items in map chat and ask or prepend with /wiki and find out if there’s a use.
Save as little as possible for “just in case” — exotics are cheap relative to the cost of storing them for some potential future use. So salvage with mystic|master|BL kits, use them in the mystic forge, or sell on the TP.
Of the 1,000 things you are storing here or there, you might mistakenly sell 10 or 15. Of those, only 1-2 will be expensive/annoying to recover — that’s too little to spend too much time on the other 998.
tl;dr get rid of as much stuff as you can as quickly as possible to reduce your inventory. Then you can worry about managing it on an ongoing basis.
