Where Do You Store The Goods You Create In Your Professions? In Your Inventory? Or?

edited August 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
When you create things with professions that later will be needed to create more, higher quality items of the same, where do you store them? My inventory is filling up QUICKLY and can only hold so much thus severely limiting how much I can create with professions no matter how many slots I've earned/opened for crafting. Is there a place to store these items that I don't know about?

They automatically go into regular inventory once created, so I know of no other place.

    To be honest, I bought enough of the largest sized bags to fill out one character. From there, I keep some of the often traded between characters items (High Level Potions, Enchants, Runes, etc.) in the Mail System. I use my currently inactive Toons as storage for lower-level, or seldom used, yet still useful, stuff.

    Very good ideas. So, basically, there is no official spot for storage to go along with all of the crafting then, and the best thing to do is imaginative organization. Ha. Time to work out some sort of creative storage system. Thanks.

    I don't, or didn't. I vendored a lot of mundane shirts and did a lot of mass-prep tasks overnight for levelling XP. I determined pretty early on that making magical items beyond what I could use immediately or had a fairly reasonable chance of auctioning off was essentially a waste of residuum (and storage space).

    The problem with that is that several professions require those previously made items to make the next level item, which would make sense if their crafting system wasn't so cumbersome.

    For the most part, it makes more sense to do upgrades like that all at once rather than sitting on a pile of items for an undetermined time period while waiting to level up.

    The rationale for focusing on pants or shirts for levelling is that they're not cumulative.

    My bags have the most common found enchants in first bag.

    Most common potions in second bag.

    Obligatory items like injury kit, id scrolls, bounty, skill sets in third.

    Profession items is usually stored with potions in the second bag. I still have like 15 slots total for greens.

    Anything I wont use for a while, I mail or put in the bank. So if it will be like 2 days until I use profession items - mail.

    Any crafted item that could be upgraded at a higher level went into the mail in groups of five. Creating and saving these is definitely the most time-efficient way to level a profession.

    Use the mail -- most people use it as an extra bank in this game.

    That would matter if the items your craft(besides epic gemmed shirt/pants and reinforced gloves) were of any worth or use. The resources used to make them often cost more than the AH value of the items.

    For alchemy, I don't craft any potions at all, just dye packs and vitriol. I'm still leveling and I just buy all my experimentation potions from the AH. For everything else, it's vendor trash.

    For runes/enchants and spare sets I store sets in my bags, normally filling up the 3rd(and smallest) bag. Runes and enchants I fuse and store in the bank or mail.

    Mail stuff to yourself and don't collect it but make the subject line have a list of items. I done this with my lower level runes just to remove them from my inventory works great.

    I used to mail them to myself - typically in groups of 5 identical +1, +2 or +4 items. Now that I have mailsmithing at 20, I keep 8 items in my inventory - fancy scale/chain pants/shirts, just so that I have them at hand if an "exquisite" recipe becomes available while I am using the gateway. That's all.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Can someone explain how to use the mail system to store and retrieve goods? Can this also be used to transfer goods between alts? Have only used the mail system for getting the emails from the game. Didn't know I good mail stuff as well.

    If your account name is say, marc5iver, then just send a mail to

    @marc5iver

    and all your alts on the SAME server can access it. That is all there is to it ;)


    Careful with the delete button BTW :(

    I also have done this same method, i made another account primaly for enchants and runstones, i had already 2 accounts with 4 lvl 60's on.
    Making another account costs nothing, all you have to do is provide a new e-mail address to create. ( which you can obtain from the 100's free e-mail providers on the internet) I then lvl'd a character to lvl 4,( which does not take very long) so it as a base in Protectors Enclave and more so the mail box.

    In the end when bored one day i lvl'd this 'bank' alt up to lvl 16 and so now i get the added benifit of having professions available and also the daily praying, so now it as the added benifit of making a daily amount of AD too and profession items.

    I do as many mentioned previously use the mail system to store items, but my main use for this 'bank' alt is kept for Enchnats and runstones, every one i obtain any on my main characters i mail to this 'bank' alt and there i store and fuse all the Enchants and runestones until they are a usuable rank or of a rank which can be sold for a decent amount in the AH, then i mail them back to a main who would benifit the most from them or the AD they would make from the AH.

    this as worked out a very efective system, keeps all my main characters bags free from 'clutter' and makes quite a decent amount of AD along they way too

    I auction some of the stuff I don't use. Sometimes, I put crafted items in the Guild Bank for other people. I try and take as much as I give for the guild bank.

    Thanks so much for the highly informative advice, guys. So glad I asked! It definitely takes quite a bit of organizing, but it's do-able, and that's what matters.
