    Anima Currency

    Ok, so, anima is kinda turning into a type of currency with the implementation of hamlet. So I was wondering if we could trade in anima for GCS. Or even instead of GCS for sanction we have to spend anima on sanction. I think if they turned anima into a currency it would make for a very interesting system. It would also add choice, do I sacrifice my anima to get this(whatever this is) or save it for teleporting.

    Share your hates/thoughts/ideas.

    Um they are not turning anima into currency since you can't buy anything with anima.... you can buy anima but that doesn't make it a currency, it makes it a product.

    Bold for emphasis, you know what Rokien. Maybe you have good ideas, you just dont know how to deliver it properly and people misunderstood you everytime.

    Not that I am trying to defend the original argument, but:

    Buy Items from Wards
    Craft Militia Item
    Exchange For Anima
    Sell Teleport for Cash

    Repeat


    There is, albeit a roundabout way, now a mechanism for including Anima in the gil chain.

    I think I was able to:
    Spend 10k on crafting materials
    Make a Militia Item
    Trade it in for 4 anima.

    Giving Anima a value of 2.5k gil/ea. This would then yield teleport prices of:
    7.5k gil to Favourited Location
    15k gil to the most distant location

    If we cut in a decent amount of profit, cost of time & expense, simplicity of pricing scheme, then 25k/teleport would be a fair price.

    There is of course the added 'bonus' of sometimes getting 100 Anima.

    Whhhaaaat, I wasn't even trying to make an argument ........... what......are you huh. I was just thinking it could be an interesting system to have anima as a currency, no argument at all. Just an idea.
