    Elemental sachets are ammo items, so swapping them won't erase your TP anyway. You can already swap them as you please.

    And I don't see not losing TP when swapping staves being an issue anyway. The only job among them that can reasonably melee would be SMN, and none of these staves are great to melee in anyway, and in most cases would do more harm than good. But if they're that worried about meleeing, just let make these resulting staves have less DPS than now.

    I meant more as an issue to combining the stats off them, and having 1 ammo spot that just randomly negates all magic dmg. as it stands you'd need to macro in the right one depending on which spell the mob is casting which adds a lil bit more difficulty in using them, if you just had one that did all + a boost to all stats, i could see that being an issue.

    Even if it removed all stats but made it into pretty much a shadow ring in the ammo slot, would still be very useful. Could use that when tanking and if you want one for the stats, can always get another since 100% drop. So say you wanted the flame for str and lightning for dex for example. Instead of having 8 and having to macro them in depending on what you're fighting, you could have 3 (5 inv spaces free), have one for tanking, the other two for ws or spell macros or w/e you want to do with them. Either way, relief of inventory and an ease on macro space. Again, just a suggestion.

    Getting a free shadow ring for ammo slot is much different from carrying 8 items and having to macro between. The extra effort required (8 inventory slots and macroing) to have a satchel ready for any attack could be considered the price to pay for this extra "shadow ring". The choice everyone has to make is do they think this is worth sacrificing both inventory and macro space for.
