Add a favorites list for items.

Simple as flagging items you regularly use or equip to a favorites list so you don't have filter through a pile of trash every time.

I wish. Item management really leaves something to be desired considering the sheer volume of items in this game. Sadly, I doubt they will do such an update.

In the meantime I usually just use IC to make something I plan to use a lot soon like the pickpocket food. For equipment you can sort it in most (not all) menus which helps a bit.

It was the same problem in SO6 as well when it came to sifting through items to create factors, and is the very reason why it took so much damn time to do it.

Ah yes... I remember intentionally looking for cheap empty swords or accessories that would get sorted to near the top I could use to hold my factors for synthesis specifically because of this issue.

This is one of my biggest complaints. Especially for a game that has such a rich crafting system and so many items.

The best way I found to minimize time in the menus is to replicate or buy the items you need JUST BEFORE you start the IC process to get them to appear at the top of the Newly Acquired list (don't refill the mats you do not select during IC, like Magic Film, until AFTER you have completed the desired IC; otherwise, it will get placed above the desired items on the Newly Acquired list).

If you have a full stack of something that you can buy, create or replicate, you can sell some of those items first, and then procure them in whatever way to get them at the top of the Newly Acquired list.

One glitch I have noticed (may be hard to explain):

If an item is on your Newly Acquired list after you Re-load the game, that stack will only stay at the top of the list for as many uses as the amount of items in the stack that are new.
For example, if you already had 18 Shrimp that are not on Newly Acquired list, and then you buy 2 more to get a full stack and put it at the top of the item list, it will stay at the top until you reload the game and IC the 2 you had recently purchased; thereafter, the stack will go back in place to wherever it was before on the item list. This makes it mildly inconvenient for save-scumming.

Yes, the ability to mark favorites would've made Remaking a lot easier.
