What is this? You are coming onto this website to complain about your ability to manage your own space? What would make me want to come here to read about this. Vendor the crap and get rid of the quest items you no longer have a need for. If you have a ton of extra armor, get it down to what you actually need.

I lost a lot of space simply due to my blacksmithing. I never knew when that last ingredient would pop-up and I would be able to get rid of a lot of other rare ingredients to make whatever piece of armor or weapon.

With my new alt, which is at 17 now, I gave up on all that hassle. I do skinning and herbalism. I find it, I throw it up on AH.

I don't lose money buying ingredients that cost more than the crafted item, just to raise my blacksmithing up a couple steps. I don't fill up my storage with all sorts of minerals and other items waiting for a the last ingredient to drop.

As a result, space management is no longer an issue, and I'm making a crapload of money. At 17, I'm approaching gold levels I normally have at 60. Whatever I might have tried to craft for myself, I can easily afford now.

Most of the stuff that I use isn't BoP, so I send it off an alt and keep it until I need it. Thankfully 2 of my alts are 250 tailoring/250 leatherworking, so my main doesn't have to keep mats for items for those. I have roughly 3 alts that are almost completely packed (though only 2 bag sltos bought in the bank). My main character has a bottomless bag, that AD bag, and all the rest mooncloth bags/traveler's backpacks. I make bottomless bags twice a month between all my alts that do tailoring, so the extra 2 slots are nice, especially for the BoP stuff. Between tier 1, tier 2, funny-haha not-my-class tier 0's (go blackened defias armor set!), all my nature resist, frost resist, and fire resist gear. They add up a lot. I've sold my non-combat pets (even the one from the Orphan quest -- but my alts have theres) just to make sure I have that extra room. I am a hunter, so I lose out on 1 extra bag slot with my ancient wrapped sinew. I know the bottomless bags seem like a waste, but the extra space is always a good thing. I was told that there is a 20-slot bag recipe in Naxx. Can't wait to make those, but if 18-slot bags run about 200g worth of mats, you could imagine 20-slots being around 500g. Maybe I should just give in and buy that last bag slot in my bank, 100G compared to 200G worth of mats? Hmm..

Felnor (#1): How rude.

Jennie was simply posting an opinion. Did you even bother to look at what category this in? No. I'm sure you just jumped to attacking. If you don't want to "come here to read about this" then you should probably pick a new category to look over.

On to the matter at hand. I feel that the space that is available from WoW could probably use a bit more balancing with the amount of items we are (practically) forced to collect for crafts/classes. I can't say that nothing has been done, though. They did give us trade/class bags after all. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight to what other trade/class bags (if any) are slated for patch.

Congrats on the excellent yet placid comment felnor. I share the same problem. my blacksmithing.. ores.. and gear, plus quest items are into overkill..

only solution i can think of

give a small instance to players, a home (which you purchase) if you will. with buyable boxes... for more space...

a guild hall, for guild items.. one person i ran into had 4 guild bank alts just to hold guild stuff...

to thse that thin this is not possible have not seen or been in a game called neocron, which has apartments and they vary in size with prize.. from cockroach hotels to splendid wide open aprtments....

its time blizz to give the players a place to rest..

a home

Try using the Possessions addon. I use it because it allows my guild to see my gear on our guild website.

It keeps track of items on your character, bank, alts, and mailbox. Easy searching and sorting as well.

My 9 characters have a grand total of 1,160 available bag and bank slots with 217 empty. Not counting ammo and shard bags. There are still 28 bank bag slots I haven't bought for another 392 slots (14 slot bags). I won't need a 10th character for a while yet.

Also, it is a nightmare manageing multiple character inventories without the Possessions addon.

Someone made a fake item a while back, a 40 slot resist gear bag, lots of people thought it was real at first and thought it was a great item to add to relieve inventory space since it seems every raid instance requires a new suit of resist armor.

MC/BWL: Fire resist

AQ40: Nature resist

Naxxramas: Frost/Shadow Resist

I mean its getting out of hand, I think a 40 slot bag that could only hold items if they had a +resist stat on them would be AMAZING. It would solve raiders bag problems for sure.

Now if only they made a dumpling bag >:D

Get some 18 slots, they are cheap to make anyway and in the long run it certanly pays off.

once you have that sorted, just ship off all the 16 slotters to your bank alt and you should be sorted for life.
engineering stash is bank char easy, everything except some bop's and enchant items can be shipped off.

i've got about a bag free in the bank, but only 1 free bag in my inventory, its all the pots and different resistance which you end up carrying around anyway.
