I’ve always felt inventory space was the most valuable thing in Final Fantasy 14<\/a>, and in the wake of patch 7.5, that’s never been clearer for packrat players like me. I’m sure you know the type\u2014those of us who can’t stop shoving ceaseless amounts of garbage we know damn well we’ll never use into precious, limited retainer storage.<\/p>\n

My army of retainers can hardly keep more than a handful of free inventory slots available at any given time, but thanks to the 7.5 update, that’s less of a problem. Now, I can at least unburden my one item mule that was drowning in thousands of multicolored dye pots I totally, most definitely, absolutely needed. You know, just in case.<\/p>\n

That’s right, Final Fantasy 14 has blessed the glamour and housing sickos again with another space-saving upgrade. You can finally consolidate all of those ten million dyes into just a few item slots by speaking to your local Calamity Salvager. Thank the Twelve<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Well, I say a few, but my collection didn’t consolidate neatly into one stack of the new Standard Spectrum Dye. I exceeded that, thanks to my nasty what-if-I-need-this-later habit, and so I have five stacks of the standard color. That’s still better than the 85 inventory slots they originally occupied, mind you, so I’m not complaining. If you’re tight on inventory space, I recommend you beeline it to the nearest Calamity Salvager and do the same.<\/p>\n

Find the Calamity Salvager and reclaim your inventory space<\/h2>\n

It’s not a complicated process to trade in all of your old dye in FF14 and free up some space. Just speak to the Calamity Salvager in any of the three starting cities and select ‘Dye Exchange’ <\/strong>to consolidate your collection of pigments. <\/p>\n

All it takes is a single dye from one of the three new consolidated items to access the dozens of color options you’re used to. If you’ve collected a little of every color, then that’s 105 inventory slots consolidated into three.<\/p>\n
