This. Camate needs to do a bit better on explaining this. The way it reads is this. Oh you already have a lux pugio and you wish you could give it to your friend well here is 1 ticket for the lux you just got doubles of. On your 6th excess pugio aka ticket you can now give your friend all 6 tickets and they can get a lux and only a lux. Which means you need to find someone who has gotten coruscanti 6 times to get a coruscanti. This is only being mentioned for r/ex gear so plates wont be an option. I think people took a small inch that Camate gave you and ran a whole mile with it. This is a step in the right direction but unless this is as open as the first few responders made it seem I'm guessing that maybe 5-6 coruscanti tickets would be in existence right now and they'd be selling for several mil because no one expects to get more than one ticket which would not be worth keeping to give to a friend just sell it to the highest bidder. My bet is that coruscanti's would outweigh the price of a mandau. I'd love to be wrong and have Camate correct me. But this is SE and it seems their intent is only to let you pass on an item you already have to a friend. Not trade up items.

Well it does say

[*]Once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for a rare/ex item of your choice

It doesn't say "the same item." Camate can correct himself, sure, but the way it reads seems clear (I admit the language following could support your theory). And if it IS the way you suggested, then it's an unqualified misrepresentation.
