Hi, I'm Zenia-chan and I have a problem. I'm a packrat... 1570_zpse57e905b.gif

 

This is but a sample of my storage on just one of my 3 accounts.

 

RO-Packrat_zps222a2521.jpg

1234467_572580572800951_603567463_n_zps7

 

Note the "591/600".

 

I don't even buy any of this stuff...like what the hell? I haven't vended any of this stuff in ages...this account has mostly consumables and etc. items in it, plus the good equips I use.

 

My 3rd account storage is loaded with hundreds of crap equips that won't even fit in all of my merchant classes' carts combined... And my 2nd account is loaded with herbs and chemist stuff, but it's mostly untouched since pre-renewal... I might post screens of those later, maybe.

 

I'm considering keeping going on some of these til I hit 30,000...wow what's wrong with me...lol.

 

Anyone else have a problem like this? Squeak, my fellow packrats! 1175_zps00fcc96d.gif1175_zps00fcc96d.gif1175_zps00fcc96d.gif

Hmmm not really my case.

 

Usually i don't pick up things that are worth less than 20-30m :)

 

And my storage is almost empty... 30-40/600 :D

My storage hovers around 400+ on a good day.  I'm a total packrat, saving the simplest things because who knows if or when I'd need it later.  I also tend to collect nonsense items like flowers, gems, and jellopies.  This just adds to the clutter.  :<

Squeak! Err...I mean, yes. Practically every item has value (quest requirement or as an ingredient, etc.) or will have value at some point (event quest requirement), so I just keep them around.

Loll I still do that, when I just started out RO I picked & stored everything because I always thought "this will be useful later", and that kind of thinking stuck with me the whole way. Had thousands of loots stored up XD

Squeak too! My kafra is 523/600 atm. I picked up everything and just dump it in my kafra. I clean up my storage and sell unnecessary stuff from time to time, but in most days I got more than 400 items in kafra.

Funny thing, seems like everytime I do massive clean up and npc-ed all useless loots, few days later I figure out that I need that particular items that I just sell. Arrrghh
(Most recently those dragon items for dragon helmet quest)

I have tons of crap in my storage, currently sitting at 540-550/600. A lot of it is from before I originally quit(back in 2006 or so, and only came back this March).Though, normally it is sitting around 580+ in there. And that's with my alternates having the gears the chars on those accounts will need, as well as anything else I might be able to vend.

I have 3 accounts that are all almost as full as that. It doesn't make it any better that there's no longer a mail system to filter them around to be a lot more organized.

7-storage breakdown:

 

account1 main storage = everyday gear (for all 6 accounts), everyday consumables, everyday misc items (like gemstones, mora misc items, ammo), brew mats (account has dedicated brewer), some high-end sellables. (Storage is usually 580-600/600 - usually no more than 2 chars fully equipped at any given time - with hat collection spread over 2 carts on this account and 1 in account2)

account1 vip storage = place to dump stuff til I move it to the right accounts, job3 hats for this account (currently 21 on the account, dunno why super nubs and ninjas don't get job3 gears on job change...), costumes I don't use anymore, outdated "currency" items (like Sapha Certs), old non-transferable event items

account2 storage = spell scrolls, gems (e.g. Amethyst/Pearl/etc), color-themed non-dye items (don't ask), unused kafra shop items (mount leash boxes from Daily Quen)

account3 storage = unspecific misc item storage (including nearly 9200 Turtle Shells)

account4 storage = forge mats, upgrade mats, weapons to break via upgrading (account has dedicated forger/upgrader mastersmith), old forged items, dyes

account5 storage = sellables, spare armors, armor items not commonly used

account6 storage = cards! MVP/miniboss drops, consumables I don't use (including restoratives, buff items, GM scrolls, DBs, gift boxes, OPBs, OCAs, jewelry boxes, etc), jellopy and higher equivalents (including nearly 4800 cyfars), flower-related items (flower, illusion flower, witherless rose), non-color herb-related items (guillo ass poison herbs, ments, aloes, etc), old transferable event items

 

Keeping this organized keeps me busy, but I know where to find anything >.> Numbers usually run 300-500/600 items in each with highest variability in my dump storage.

 

I swear this is compulsive. Specifically demonstrated when I accidentally try to withdraw my whole pile of FWings which shoves them to the bottom of my consumables tab in storage and spend the next few grumpy minutes just reorganizing my storage to have items in the correct (non-alphabetized but highly specific) order.

I do the same exact thing lol xD every account organized for different categories, quests, rares, cards, armors, weapons, usable foods, ingredients for crafting, gems... ect you get the point lol.

I kept some items because they had sentimental value, like when I see the +7 katana I have, it makes me think back to when I first started and the first friend I made gave that to me along with goggles. I was so happy as a newbie swordsman when I got that since it was the first weapon I had that was refined that much. Oh, the memories xD.

I have spent some hours organizing and reorganizing my storages across like 5 accounts. At one point I tried to have things grouped by consumable, equips, weapons, etc. Now it's a giant mess again cause of not vending in that same way. Really don't want to think about how much time it'll take me this next time to go through and npc / move items again. My main account has a large mix of stuff and stays around 500/600, rarely use the VIP storage just because I don't want a bigger mess yet.
