I'd vote for it, but we'd need confirmation of what they actually are. If they're meant to be desynth materials (so many of the currencies are made of explicitly-stated materials), then they couldn't go in the currency section. If they are actual currency instead of a crafting material, then yeah. Would save a lot of retainer room to put them in teh currency window.

I think a lot us are holding onto them thinking they will be used kind of the same way as in FFXI. Even if they can be melted down or broken into other mats we could still select them from the currency tab in the same way we pull crystals from the crystal Tab in alchemy.

I've found one so far, no +. I was trying to get them for a few days and then I just killed an R3 marmot outside of Gridania and got one. They don't seem to drop off of anything particular in any specific area. Seems all means of obtaining items have a chance of dropping Deaspected Crystals. I'm going to hold onto mine as I'm sure they'll have a purpose down the line. They wouldn't put in an item with absolutely no purpose.

Has anyone noticed anything strange about any of the mobs that drop these? Do you see an increase of sp or exp or a decrease...or none? Did you notice anything about the mobs themselves?

You can get them from gathering as well, they replace the 1-3 shards you typically get with each gather.

Pretty sure they are related to the upcoming materia system.

Heh. I was just gonna ask/say: Whatever you do with your Beastcoins is what I'd do with your Deaspected.

I mean it wouldn't be the first cryptically no-purpose item in the game, would it? Just do what you do with those things. Personally, I keep them and hope I'll be rewarded for my hoarding some day.

Save them of course, I'd bet you need them to enter dungeons, kinda like BCNM seals.

I think thiey have something to do with the gm event since that is when ppl satarted getting them. And the levequest counter guy talks of people getting strange items while doing levequests, which is also new.

was able to get 3 of them from mining the nodes at Camp Iron Lake
