February 2022 Version Update

If you use your crafting shield and drop it. The cooldown to reuse it is still in effect... That is all.. also, you can get shield back if you drop incase none of you poocy's were willing to test it.

In case it was not confirmed before:

Recycle Bin works on Augmented ILVL 119 III REMA, so it is assumed that it works on pretty much everything even with special internal data on it.

Just don't disconnect or forget about throwing it away and zone.

It now takes 26 seconds to fully populate inventory, with 656 items. That is greater than the 25 seconds it took to populate 753 items in 2020. This isn't due to the wardrobes, so dug a little deeper.

Instead of sending 0x1D once at the end, to enable all containers, they send it 17x in every packet interval(once for each bag), and they've increased the size from 8 bytes to 12. This takes up space that could be used to send inventory items themselves, so the items actually take longer.

The result, to the player, is that you can view individual bags as they finish loading, which should make inventory and early wardrobes faster to manually access. For plugins and addons, which only care about whether the game has received the data, this universally makes things slower for everyone(and even more so for those who also add more wardrobes and items), though not by very much.

Note that adding more wardrobes won't slow your load times, it's the number of total items you have. If you add the wardrobes and move gear to them, you should expect load times to stay the same (aside from the increase this patch added). It's when you start increasing items that load times will increase.

Also, called it on recycle being a bag. Returning items uses the move packet as well, just like I had guessed. Augmented items can be returned. It seems unlikely there's any sort of exploiting to be had, given it's effectively just an inventory container. Unfortunately, it is not under the switch menu and you cannot manually move items into it, so you can't use it to drop items from non-inventory bags any faster.

Edit: Was looking at theoretical numbers not actual numbers from old post, it is still slower but not by anywhere near the scale.

dropped the escutcheon?! friggin balls bigger than the moon

An interesting "issue" I found:

Doing the valentines day event with an alt. Idc about the alts progress, so I tossed all of their hearts. The moogle still sees them in my inventory even though they are in the recycle bin, so I couldnt restart the event until I zoned.

So, they pre-empted our idea of having 11 adoulin rings.

SE should just increase the cap on received already NOBODY is using dialup in 2022.

If you DC when doing this you loose the content of the bin !

( zone , logg out , DC = Empty the cyclebin )

For zone ( ex AMAN Trove , before entering if you put your Sash in bin .... ) , haven't tested it to be honest ( if entrance bcnm > to Bcnm is Zoning, someone could confirm this ? )

I just tried this in abyssea last night.

The game greys out any rare items you have in your recycle bin that you also have in your inventory, so you cannot move it to your inventory. What I was doing while farming Cireion-Croin was throwing away all of my Orobon Cheekmeats and letting them sit in my recycle bin. Then, after popping Cep-Kamuy, I would move another to my inventory if I needed one to pop another NM. At one point I had 7 cheekmeats in recycle bin, and one in my inventory. As long as I did not have a cheekmeat in my inventory, I could keep farming them and moving them to my recycle bin. So you should be able to pull something to your active inventory from your dbox if it's in your recycle bin, even if it's rare.

So for Aman Trove, you could do something similar: throw away your rare items and do the event, and if something good you already have drops, you can get a buyer for it or something. This is very risky, though. I would much rather send every rare item to myself via dbox instead, and accomplish the same goal, without risking disconnecting and losing my ashera or whatever.
