Useless seals exchange

[Alderin]

Ok so let me get this straight, you want someone to be able to burn their job to 75, join an dominion PT and get a bunch of seals they cant use, so they can get +1 gear for jobs they haven't even played?

We will get even more AF3+1 Abyssea Newb Factory people out there that have a lvl 90 job, a few +1 pieces, and no skill.

Its like saying "Hi I want a Paladin with the +1 set please."

"Ok, here you go, have this +1 body for doing absolutely nothing."

I support this idea, although I must say, it is quite easy to get the seals one needs. 30 mins tops shouting in port jeuno has always gotten me 4/4 (BLU WHM BLM NIN always).

Because everyone wants to level a 'needed' job just to get gear for the job(s) they really want to play.

I thought XI had left that asinine "play XXX job or GTFO" behind, seems for some it's still alive and kicking.

um... they won't make coins from WoE tradeable, and virtually noone does that, you honestly think AF3 seals have a shot at this?

If you're talking about the OPs Idea, You seem to be out of touch with your sig.

He's asking to be able to exchange 5 seals of the same job of 1 type (I.E 5 hand seals) for 1 random seal of the same type, but not the same job. Thats not "handing noobs armor", Getting 5 seals you dont need through dominion would take a long time unless you got vehemently lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it).

Realistically this would help people who target 1 NM for seals, But keep getting the drop they don't need, eventually they could turn in said seals in exchange for a random seal (i.E you dont pick)

If you're talking about someone elses idea. then ignore the above.

it's called the "cookie-cutter" approach, someone posts 1 winning strat for something and everyone else turns off their brains as to figuring out another strat. Now granted, a solo brd is probably gonna have a difficult time with something that can only realistically be killed by a heavy melee, by the same token a solo melee may have issues with stuff that somehow comes in groups, especially if they are melee damage resistant. That's where that "outside the box" (I can't believe I just used that idiotic phrase) thinking becomes useful.

Anyone remember ACP at 75? Now imagine that your only 75s are beast and bard! Took 20 tries, multiple strats tried but we finally beat it, with me main healing as brd/whm back in my Gaudy Harness with my crappy elf MP (and no, I had no merits outside some job-specific beast ones at the time). we tried so many strats that I don't even remember what worked now, but I know it wasn't a published one.

No, you don't have to level a specific job to get things done, but you have to know the job you DO play and work with that. Anyone telling you that you have to level a specific job is giving bad advice. So, no a bard or a corsair are probably NOT going to turn into seal-soloing powerhouses, but why should they-they are party support jobs. Bring your friends, you'll have better luck with procs anyway than a soloer. But you can go outside the box a bit... Brd/nin can cover 2 lines of procs by themselves, and with 2 daggers and the right atma choice can dish out some very decent damage. Corsair/ninja is much the same, but with the damage of a gun thrown in, choose atma to match your shots if you know your target or look into Drifter or Stout arm, it helps. Rng/nin gets the nin procs coverred and there's alot of nice stuff that can be gotten with blue procs; find a pt going for empy weaps drops, tag along to help with blue and watch the +2 stuff roll in, and use your WS to help find those elusive pop NMs. Just a few examples, there's lots more

generally i would agree but then in abyssea and now dyna you have to proc the nms to get what you want. especially seals. so it makes it difficult to go seal farming or whatever without a certain job set up, or atleast close to to a certain job set up like instead of a black mage take a sch or a rdm. you wont have all of the spells needed for a yellow proc but you have most of them that way.
