Packrats Anonymous

Really, I need a support group.  I feel compelled to save everything because "I might be able to use it one day."  Or someone I know might need it.  Dhalmel leather, treant bulbs, cotton thread, beehive chips, fish, crystals—random crafting materials are pervasive throughout my inventory.  I don't even want to talk about lumber.

My inability to walk away from a locked chest when I'm out solo or walk past a NM without at least thinking about it is another problem.  I have a firefly, a pestle, pilgrim's wand, and more.  I don't know who Phlegethon is, but his trousers are in my storage.  If you happen to run into him, please let him know.

Of course, not everything is Exclusive, and therefore could theoretically be mailed off to a mule.  The problem is that the Sandy mule's inventory is already crammed full of gear and mats, and the Bastok mule's inventory is well on its way.  Now that I have two of them, I need to spend some time dividing their inventories up into categories—it's already kind of working out that the one in Sandy is gear and crystals, while the one in Bastok is mats, but there's still some overlap that needs to be cleaned up.

Tamberly's inventory still holds the gear for the jobs that I'm "currently leveling".  BLU and DRK gear is taking up a bit of space just now—at least they're currently at the same level and use basically the same stuff.  Most of the RDM gear that I replace on RDM is still needed for SCH, so it stays, too.  Then there's the issue of carrying six different weapons for RDM (no wait, 8 counting the bow and arrows for pulling in Ro'Maeve), various meds that I'll probably never need, chocobo food, flowers for quivers and lyco ports, and now two different exp rings.

Oh, and of course, there has to be the stuff that serves no purpose other than making me smile.  The various fireworks and costume serums that I've made as I level alchemy are prime offenders.  The red rose that I have no use for at all will continue to not only take up a space in my storage but be manually moved to the top after each auto-sort.  The Trainee Axe from the woodworking guild is completely useless now, but looks entirely too cool to toss out.

What I'm trying to say is, "HELP!  I only have 24 spaces left!"  (And thanks to leveling clothcraft again today, that's an improvement from this morning!)
