Useless seals exchange

[radicaldreamer]

Heyo it would be nice if there were a gob npc that could exchange 5 seals of one type, for 1 random job's same type of seal.

For example, if you traded 5 Unkai Seal: Hands to the npc, he would pull from a lottery, a random "Job Seal: Hands" in exchange. EXCLUDING from the random pull, the job that you exchanged. So you wouldn't be able to give 5 Unkai Seal: Hands to the npc and have him give you 1 Unkai Seal: Hands. lol

This would make it so it still takes a while to get the seals you want, but now you don't throw away a billion before you get 8/8 on the job you want.

I myself am currently 7/8 on RDM hand seals and been trying for over a day now to get the 8th, only to complete SAM and BLU sets instead, and have many excess Mavi and Unkai seals that I'm just tossing.

That is a good idea but why not just be able to trade with other players.

^ That would be so much nicer...

Because people would charge rediculous amounts of money for them, and that would mess up the economy.

Can't say i see this as a legitimate reason. What with it having no basis other than pessimistic views. You can't reject a good idea simply because you assume people would sell them for higher than you want.

You'd still be able to farm your own seals, But now have the option to buy/sell/trade them to other people.

and truthfully, I think being able to trade Seals would be a wonderful idea, Even if some people are going to sell it, Knowing that i can get a crappy seal and give it to my friend would be worth that price.

There's no possible why this would happen with how readily available they are to begin with.

Anytime anyone can make money off of anything someone else is too lazy or desperate to do... they will make money off it. They have fell cleave parties people have to PAY for, and i have heard of people PAYING a lot of money to get into an abyssea party as a level 30 char. So someone, somewhere would PAY for seals. example : someone new to abyssea who has sat in a pt all day wants seals for say blm head but they don't wanna use their precious time for farming seals (which we all know can be time consuming, especially if you don't have anyone with discernment or all the procs) so they sit in port jueno or wherever and just shout Blm head seals do you have it? reward 10k each. Someone will sell them their spares and make money, OR get a bunch of spares from NMs they camp from people all day because they mass time farm so they can sell them to people who either don't have time or are too lazy. Even if they were only trade able that's easy to get around. Trade the seals, then trade the gil in a 2nd trade. I was not belittling the idea of making them tradable earlier, i would LOVE to be able to get the 8 mavi body seals my husband got from a quest while going for a different job body for my blu because he doesn't need them and i do. But you can see by my example, someone, somewhere would abuse the system.

an unrelated topic to this one but goes into my people are too lazy to do it category, moblinweave takes 3 spools of moblin thread and is lvl 31 clothcraft, while i was farming in mavop i got a buttload of moblin thread and made them into weave, which was 50k, its NOT hard to make/get but people are too lazy/desperate/in a hurry so if they can just BUY it, which they DID (i made 400k in 2 days totally legitimately off of putting the weave on the AH because no one else was selling it) they will.

I would be happy with a simple filter on Dom Ops that only rewarded you with seals of jobs you have level 80+. That way when you don't get seals from jobs you don't currently have leveled & can't even wear the gear for that job yet. No more useless seals for jobs I have sitting at level 1 and don't have any plans to level to 90 anytime soon. But if I do choose to level those jobs, I can start getting seals from Dom Ops when it reaches level 80+.

@Kavik
You said rediculous amounts. I was stating that that was impossible. As in your estimates were wrong, not that people wouldn't buy them.
