Converting cruor to gil

[Hashmalum]

We've all been doing it by using cruor to buy chocobo blinkers then NPCing them for gil for a long time now. The dev team should by now be well aware of this. It could be eliminated, trivially and without side-effects, by adjusting the NPC sale price of chocobo blinkers. But they have refused to do so. I can only conclude that the dev team is perfectly fine with the idea of converting cruor to gil.

However, this procedure is tedious and requires lots of inventory space. So I propose that an NPC should be added to convert cruor to gil directly. There's even a ready-made lore explanation--it's already been stated in the Voidwatch storyline that Jeuno needs cruor for its anti-Voidwalker efforts and is always wanting more. Jeuno is of course a very wealthy city, made even more so by the fact that they literally mint gil. It would be trivial both code-wise and lore-wise to do it and it would make our lives a lot easier. So why not?

Just because they haven't nerfed it yet, doesn't mean they won't.

After all holy waters just got the nerfbat recently, after having their NPC sale price stay the same for oh, I dunno... 10 @#$%ing years.

It would be nice if nothing else if they changed Chocobo Blinkers to stack upto 99 rather than 12. Admittedly I like your idea but the question I would have to ask is what is 1 cruor worth in gil? Max fame 1 cruor = 2.595 gil currently, if SE made a NPC for converting but it was 1 = 1 or 1 = 2 I would probably keep up with this way already just because I get more.

Thanks for sharing this - now everyone can take advantage of them NOW ASAP before SE changed their mind.

It's widely known anyway, SE have known about it for ages.

This method of gil acquisition makes it stupid easy to trap and locate RMT.
Lotta gil they've been freezing the past year - http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/rule/specialtask.html

Don't think they'll adjust it any time soon.

What a pointless thread. All this comes across is that you have abused the gil making strat enough now, and don't want others to gain the same as you.

What comes across is you obviously not reading the thread :/

All the topic is asking for is to get rid of the hassle of blinkers as a middleman.

Hmm odd im sure I read the whole thing, but my apologies OP, didn't see you were actually making a good suggestion - I withdraw my jibey commment

Yep the point of the thread is to have a NPC or something of the sort who would "buy" cruor from you for the use of the Voidwatcher forces to use. Honestly it fits with lore and all that which is great, but as I said before, my worry is how much gil SE would give us for 1 cruor, that conversion rate needs to be the same as blinkers or higher, 1 cruor = 3 gil would be wonderful!
