Cruor has many uses currently, but even so for some players they are finding themselves with a large excess of cruor and nothing to do with it.
In my case, I'm sitting on near 7million cruor. As a White Mage and Bard primarily, I'm not in need of anything that the Cruor Prospectors offer for purchase any more. I have all the key item atmas they sell and full AF3 sets. I'd love to be able to buy Primeval Brews and solo NMs for my friends, but as a mage, that isn't very efficient compared to the damage others can do on melee classes, so my offers to help are declined. Because of all this, my cruor continues to build with no use, which is disappointing.
What I propose is a way to share or transfer cruor from one player to another who can use it. Not a direct trade, of course, but perhaps being able to talk to an NPC in Abyssea who will write you out a deposit slip for how much cruor you'd like to transfer. You can then trade this deposit slip to another player who turns it in to the same NPC to complete the transaction. The deposit slips won't be able to be sent by delivery box or purchased through bazaar, only direct player to player trade. Perhaps only allow delivery box sending to characters on your same account.
Another option would be to allow Primeval Brew to be traded while within Abyssea, but I feel that the deposit slip system gives players a bit more freedom in the use of gifted cruor.
Another option, although much more of a deviation, is to give enhanced damage effects to non-melee classes when used by them, allowing support and back row jobs to be equally efficient when under the effects of a Primeval Brew as a Ninja, Samurai, or other naturally high damage dealer. Again by doing so, this would help encourage people to spend and use their cruor and allow them to support friends and themselves.
With a system of some sort along these lines, players with building cruor but no jobs to use it or anything left to buy can still see those points put to good use in helping other players.
