Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Tile]

I'm in love with this, to bad its 6 Lux daggers late.

Why not a Different ticket per mob and not for item, That way if i do 150+ more Qilin I can still get Coruscanti after i trade in all the tickets from neck, Lux, and Fajin?

From what I'm understanding:

*There will be different types of tickets for different items and you will need to collect the respective ticket for the item you would like.
*The required number of tickets is still being looked into and there is a possibility of change, but currently we estimate it to be about 5~6.

if you have X item, you'll get X ticket, and when you have 5-6 of X ticket, you can redeem for X. Obviously this is useless to you, but you can bazaar/trade X ticket, and your friend who wants X can hunt down 5-6 X tickets to get X.


With porter moogles, and the ability to send r/e junk to characters on your POLID, there is absolutely no reason to not have any inventory space anywhere to hold onto a heka's kalarsis that you wont use.

Howdy!

I bring some news regarding the Voidwatch loot system, which I think you all will appreciate quite a bit.

The development team has been well aware of all of your frustrations when you friend hears you receive an item that they have been after for some time, but you are unable to pass it to them and have no choice but to toss it.

They have been looking into adjustments to the reward system extremely carefully to preserve the benefit of each person receiving a personal reward when participating, instead of having to lot against others. As a result, they are thinking about implementing the below type of system.

• In the event that a rare/ex item drops to you when you already possess the item, it will be possible to exchange that item for a ticket (name pending)
• Once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for a rare/ex item of your choice.
  *There will be different types of tickets for different items and you will need to collect the respective ticket for the item you would like.
  *The required number of tickets is still being looked into and there is a possibility of change, but currently we estimate it to be about 5~6.
• Tickets will be tradable and sellable.

The development team feels that this will not destroy the meaning of having personal rewards, and though the drop rate balance will not be changed, even if you continue to have bad luck obtaining the item you wish, by collecting the tickets from your friends you will eventually be able to obtain the item.

Since there are a lot of rewards items, meaning a large amount of tickets to be created, we will start off by looking into implementing the hard to get items first. Please understand that it will take some time before this is all implemented.

Wow! Thank you so much
Would it be possible to add plate pouches and cinder/dross clusters to the ticket program? I wouldn't be adverse to 10-15 tickets for such a thing if the amount is between 10 to 25 items per pouch, kinda like the cotton purse randomizer for Salvage. This information is much appreciated.

thanks dev teams for listening to us

and, please, add plates and pouches too to the list of item to buy with ticket

Really great news, glad to hear this.

Well I'm just echoing the "I'm quite happy about this" sentiment.

The idea of being able to trade in tickets for another Item is fun. Hopefully they'll think it over quite thoroughly so people can work toward any goal... For example, If they feel 5-6 Tickets is too "easy" to earn a Coruscanti, Instead of removing Coruscanti, Simply make Items exist in tiers... Like say for Qilin:

1 Ticket - Heavy Metal Plate
3 Ticket - Houyi's Gorget
5 Ticket - Fajin Boots
7 Tickets - Lux Pugio
9 Tickets - Heavy Metal Pouch
12 Tickets - Coruscanti

(C > P From my BG post)

Even if it took 30 Qilin Tickets, I'd still be ecstatic that my Boxes of fail-items are working toward a realistic reachable goal.

I hope the DEV Team makes haste with this implementation, Even if they only implement in stages (I.E Tier 1~4 City Paths on one update, Tier I~III Jeuno one update, Tier I~III Zilart another, and TIV~VI finally) and so forth...

uggh I just realized this, that will be incredibly annoying if its 1 ticket per item, granted if you could use your ticket on any item, people would just horde their tickets

[FrankReynolds]

This is really improved, however I think it should definitely be something like "Convert to ticket" instead of receiving the item, because if a mage body appears I do not want it, I just want to toss it, so I think even the first useless armor piece should be able to be to be a ticket it, as well as repeats to body pieces you did need and keep

As long as you need items from VW, you would keep items you don't need. IE. you don't want a mage body, but you want a melee body. So you hang onto the mage body so that you can get tickets to trade to people who want them in exchange for tickets for the body you want, or gil to buy the tickets you want. In that way, the mage body isn't storage -1. It is a place holder for the body you want.

This might actually get me to do VW.

[Karbuncle]

The Tickets will be tradable and sellable.

They're not going to hand you the item on a silver platter. If you can't get the items you want, Buy the Tickets. People won't hoard Tickets for items they don't want or need. Some may do it just for the gil.

For instance, i Can see T3 Jeuno Path Tickets being worth a good price. There will be a supply of them.

IDK, Theres so much positive about this coming up that i can't find a negative.

One thing I would appreciate some clarification on: how might the "different types of tickets" work? I understand it's all very tentative right now but whatever information you can give would be great. I'm hoping that the ticket types are fairly broad (say, based the tier from which they drop, possibly rarity of drop but I think this will lead to issues unless you can directly exchange more common tickets for a smaller number of rarer tickets) to avoid issues where tickets that could be turned in for a fairly niche item will be extremely scarce because of the lack of demand for items from certain NMs.

Also, it would be great if we could turn in items we already have for tickets too. I've got a few Voidwatch items sitting in storage that I'll likely never use, converting them into something of more value to me would be nice.
