Forgive me for my lack of knowledge in Salvage, the last time I did that was when it first came out and was only seen as naked pajama parties. Allow me to try again...... Your salvage reference doesn't make much since to me because in your example you are changing a path of gear that you had already started on. That would be like asking to trade in your Jewel of Vision for a Coin of Vision. (could be a swing and a miss there too, but the point I was trying to make is exchanging currency wouldn't directly effect the path of gear you have already started.)
That's the same thing.

Let's say you turned in 100 bronze pieces.

You obtain 100 bynes.

You trade them for 100 bronze to NPC

You don't change the path because you are still trading bronze.


Get hikazu hara-ate

Trade to NPC for demios cuirass

Turn in Demios Cuirass.

Its the same thing (works for af3+2 upgrades as well).


The purpose of having different paths at the time of inception I believe is so not everyone was trying to do runs in the same area. I don't know, I don't work for SE. And no, an NPC exchanger wouldn't make them all the same. The back story of all three nations divided would still fit the game. The only thing it would change is just making the gil value of them the same. (Which is still not a bad idea for anyone other than people trying to make gil from selling relic currency)
You could say the same about any of the other examples I've made and exchanging their upgrade items.


I am aware that the Nashmu exchange NPC only does ISP. It was only mentioned as comparison for a new NPC to take relic currency and exchange it. Kinda like banks do. "You give me one Shell, I'll give you one Bronze piece."
Yes, and I merely pointed out that your comparison was between two denominations of the same currency vs two different types of currencies.

Again, absolutely no diff than any of the other examples I've given w/ trading upgrade items.


Again, I implore you. If you don't like an idea or suggestion leave it alone; do not hit the "Like" button or troll the thread until you can get it derailed and closed. And calling people and their ideas dumb just because you disagree doesn't really help your case at all. "Oh I disagree so he's dumb" That's the best comeback ever!!
Comeback? That was more of a response to whoever made that suggestion, not to you, so I have no clue why you're putting a smiley face there. Unless you're claiming to be the one who made that suggestion, then yes, in that case, I am calling you dumb.

So you believe being able to just up and trade job seals for one another isn't a dumb idea?


If you don't like the Title of a topic thread, don't click it. If you really don't like the post in said thread, then don't click the like button. These are all just ideas, and will most likely never see the light of day. But if people keep bashing ideas and derailing them it's just a fast track to a closed topic.
It's a forum, forums are for discussions. If I don't like something, I'm not going to keep quiet because someones doesn't want to hear what I have to say.

Besides, it doesn't make much sense "Hey, if you don't like this don't complain about it, just leave it alone". Wouldn't the same apply to you? If you don't like my responses, don't click the like button and there's no need to complain about it.
