overwhelmed by inventoryFollow

If its under, say, lvl 78 odds are you don't need it. Exceptions are things like Brutal Earring, Rajas Ring, etc.

I still cling on to so much stuff I know I should throw out... I just can't =( too many memories. Same goes for me irl, really.

The moogle can store most new gear and a lot of old gear (abjs, byakko legs, etc.)

Lists can be found here

A slip is an item in your inventory and simply, you can store a specific set of items inside the slip (item list found in above link).
Once you buy a slip, simply trade the slip and the item to the moogle, and it will be stored.
To retrieve, trade the slip, and ask to retrieve an item. Here, you'll be able to see a list of everything you have already stored.

This might sound a little strange, but I'm trying to level all my mage jobs to a minimum of 33 on my Galka, so I can sell and/or toss most gear lower than my RSE. Galka RSE is great for mage jobs because all pieces give you MP, which is sorely lacking.

Once the mage jobs are done, I'm going to try doing the same for melee jobs, getting them all to roughly the same level so I only have to worry about particular sets of gear.

I also have sack & satchel mostly divided up into melee & mage gear, respectively. My locker is mostly filled with Abyssea stuff I'm upgrading, while storage is full of battle trophy gear that I'm either not using or can't wear yet, since none of it can be stored or sold.

Sad thing is, you can go naked into Gusgen at 12-13 and just stay there until whenever. No one cares anymore if you have a sub, if you're geared, anything. There's almost no reason to hang onto low level gear anymore unless you plan on soloing your way up or grouping old school!

be the synchee!

ah cool. might be beneficial since i have a lot of jobs just past the lvl 10 mark haha

When looking at rare/ex I ask myself. If I wanted to get XXX item again, how long would it take? If its anything under a few hours. /toss

It is.

They do the same thing- but are two different storage bags.

I've found mules to be sorely lacking as a practical method of inventory management. While a mule with fully expanded inventory offers an enormous amount of storage space (both of my mules are at maximum inventory/safe/sack/storage), it is bottle-necked by an 8-item wide delivery path.
Simply filling up one newly-finished mule character took two entire evenings of tedious logging-on / logging-off. Thus, most of the stuff that gets moved onto a mule never gets moved off again; it's just too much of a pain. We need SE to add a method for fast bulk transfers between same-account characters.

This. This is important stuff

Just never throw out Joyeuse. You can go out there any day of the week and see a pop, but the moment you need one some silent asshole will be there trying to outclaim you.
