    Have you upgraded your Gobbie bag to 80 yet?

    Being a crafter myself which often takes the oppourtunity like many people patch day to take advantage of AH slapping prices.

    I was wondering how many of you have actually fully upgraded to 80 yet? If so, why not, prices too high for materials, waiting for prices to go down, etc.

    I've upgraded, waited a few days for prices to go down until they were reasonable (some looked like they wouldn't be dropping any more for a long time, O. Ingot etc). Really needed the extra space though, still waiting on that Satchel!

    I can't afford to even if I thought it was worth paying what I see as still highly inflated prices. Personally, I'm waiting on my Mog Satchel, then I'll see if I still care.

    Fully upgraded. Farmed heavy chestplates for M.ingots, group of us fished up an angel skin and i crafted it into orbs, already had some oxblood so i made orbs for everyone with those, got p.leather from quest, and did Royal Ramble for the O.ingots. Its not too expensive if you do it as a group with crafters.

    I am perfectly fine with 75 spaces atm, cause lol@paying 1 mil+ for 5 more spaces...the moly ingots are what's a kick in the ass atm.

    Only reason i even did the 1st one was because i already had O ingot stored on mule for salvage head piece and oxblood orbs where dirt cheap after 2 days.

    Cost me about 1mil on Odin for 9&10 combined about 3 days ago. Best million I've ever spent, inventory sucks and satchel taking forever to get here ; ;

    The day my gobbie bag, mog satchel, storage, and mog locker are full is the day I will consider upgrading to 80. Until then upgrade 10 can go to hell. I would say upgrade 9 also but all it really takes is one round of Royal Ramble and a little gil. For now I have more space than I even know what to do with so paying 800k~1M is not worthwhile for 5 or 10 more spaces.

    Rather than paying 1mil~ for +10 spaces, I payed $10 for +70 spaces.

    ~1.1mil for the two upgrades on Pandy. Safe to say I'm not upgrading for another year or so. 70 spaces from Mog Satchel should be plenty to hold me off till then.

    I'll upgrade when prices go down, because 20 more spaces(before you say it, yes 20, 10 from both gobbie bag quests and 10 from satchel) is always a good thing when for farming, crafting and fishing. I just can't afford to at the current prices.

    Upgraded to 75. I'm not patient enough to farm Quadavs for a moly. I KS'd ingot and farmed a peiste skin. Hadda buy the cloth (25k) but nabbed a few wamoura cocoons. Buddy's gonna synth them into threads so I get meh cash back. (Yes, I am that cheap.) The less gil other players get from me, the better. >:O

    Where's the "No, I don't need all that storage." answer?

    Relatively similar story on my end. I think I caused the smither I contacted to O.O when I was like, "Hey, I have 30 chestplates I farmed. Wanna desynth and share some gil on the excess ingots?"

    I have 80 gobbiebag and it really wasn't that expensive. Farmed ocl.ingot, farmed prestie skin, had clothcraft friend make cloth for 12k, bought orb for 8k, spent 20k total on the first upgrade. The 2nd part was a bit more expensive but ended up costing 420k.

    So 440k for both, not really too expensive don't see why so many people are waiting so long. I did it a couple days after the update and you can probably do it for half of what I did it for now.

    At 75 now, waiting for money to come in so I can finish and get 80. Mog Satchel should be here in a couple days at the latest. Around 350-400k for the 75 upgrade on Siren at this time.
