Voidwatch: Crystal Petrifact

[Camate]

Greetings everyone!

Sorry to necrobump this thread (as I am often wont to do…), but I have some information to pass on regarding Crystal Petrifacts.

We are currently making preparations for the implementation of a system that will allow Crystal Petrifacts to be exchanged for cruor.

While Crystal Petrifact is an item that was meant to help players when their stock of Kupofried’s corundum was in short supply, in the event that you do not need this, we felt it would be beneficial to exchange Crystal Petrifacts for cruor, which in turn could be used for Atmacites, Periapts, or other applications. However, since the original purpose of Crystal Petrifacts was not to generate cruor, the exchange rate will not be very high.

Also, there were a lot of requests to make it possible to exchange these items for Voidstones, but doing this would create the cycle of doing Voidwatch in order to save up points to do Voidwatch, so we would like to hold off on this type of exchange.

storing em with shami and making them exchangeable isn't an option?

Petrifact -> Voidstone is just a more direct path between the two points than what you're proposing:

Petrifact -> Cruor -> Gil -> Voiddust -> Voidstone

Their ignoring the fact people sell their stones.

Their real intent is to limit the void stone supply by as much as they can without being too blatant about it. As it stands people gotta spend AN / ISP / CP to get the stones they sell. AN / CP (book burn) seem to be the easiest to make now.

I'll take it.

Well now I feel a bit silly for throwing 200 of them at Kupofried last week.

Devs, you got it all wrong. Stop saying "we". This is not about how you want the game to be run, this is about how the player base wants the game to be run.

I support the idea of making it possible to use Crystal Petrifacts for a secondary purpose, for those players who are unable to access Provenance or choose not to do so. However, given the various purposes cruor serves other than simply for upgrading atmacites, I'm not sure that I agree with this solution. I would humbly suggest allowing a certain number of petrifacts to be exchanged for phase displacers instead of cruor.

[Infidi]

I'm gonna throw a wild guess out and say it'll be 1k cour per petrifact. Probably be more like 500 though lol.

[Ophannus]

It'll probably be 10-50 cruor to be honest, like destroying chests in abyssea.
