The "Let's convert everything!" Thread

[Tsukino_Kaji]

I'm going to jump on the "I want to be able to convert this to this" bandwagon and say; I want to be able to convert battle trophies into dominion notes.

But you created the bandwagon!

I think that regardless of how many things SE gives us to merit (even if they don't cap categories that don't need caps) we'll still eventually cap them. I suggest that to remedy this, we should be able to convert Merits to something else. Some form of currency would be nice, even if it is gil, but Beastmen's Seals or something like that would work too. Or it could work with one of the newer things they are doing like points for the daily reward system.

A few ideas of things that merit points could be transferred into (ratios subject to SE's judgement, and some items could cost more then one merit):

• Gil
• Conquest Points
• Imperial Standing
• Allied Notes
• Cruor
• Beastmen's Seals / Kindred's Seals / Kindred's Crests / High Kindred's Crests
• Dominion Notes
• Daily Reward Points
• Traverser Stones
• Ancient Beast Coins
• Ancient Currency
• Alexandrite

Of course, some of these things might not be suitable, but these are just suggestions.

I like the idea, gives and endless use for xp/merits.

Even if it was more then a merit per seal/crest, I'd still do it.

Off topic, I want to convert Tarutaru into my dinner.

How is that off topic?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Things I've seen that have been good idea in other threads are items like converting void stones into dust. It makes sense. Why can't we just grind them up? Merits into anything. I for one have nothing left to spend them on until the update and then I'll very quickly not have anything to spend them on again. Crystals? People have been wanting to covert those to clusters for the last 8 years.

How is that off topic?

On that note, I'd like to convert all galka to Hare Krishna.

Twelve crystals should be convertible into a cluster for no cost. Make it a level 1 alchemy recipe with no item loss or HQ chance, which requires a crystal of the respective element, and eleven more as the ingredients, or alternatively, make the city who won conquest that week have an NPC who does it for free, or at worst, after a quest.

Nice idea, I'd go for this and the Desynthesis of clusters also.
