Fantasia

Is spending 5 quid the only way to get these potions? These would be a great gill sink. A vendor could sell them for 1m a pot. Why do they charge for these, it's greedy and annoying!

No game gives out free race change/char appearance editing potions...

At least none that i've played.

This.

If you want to change something simple like your hair or make-up, there is the Aesthetician to do that for you. Also I know there are a few quests that give Fantasias to you. It's been so long that I've forgotten which, but that's how the ones sitting on my retainer got there.

I've always wanted Square-Enix to let you trade fantasias on the market board. It could work like Blizzard's Warcraft Token. People with dollars can buy fantasias and exchange them for gil from people with excess gil. It wouldn't act as a gil-sink since the gil stays within the system, but it balances it out more.

The only quest that gives a Fantasia is for clearing the Praetorium at the end of the ARR main story.

Used to get one in the mail as a veteran reward, but that's gone now. But if you got that one before, you'll still get it when making a new character on the same account, and you'll still get one for the above quest.

BDO does.

They give out free character changes plus their sub comes with the option to change your character whenever. They also give out free 7 day subs like crazy....

Ah, maybe that's where I got them from. Honestly, I have no intention of using them so I just dropped them in storage and forgot about them. I don't even remember exactly how long they've been in there.

BDO is also a buy once, play for free with a P2W cash shop. Not exactly the same model.

No one mentioned model, someone said "No game gives out free race change/char appearance editing potions..."

And that's false, cause BDO does regardless of pay model. Plus it has a sub optional or not it's still a sub.

There are some games that allow this.

That being said, for it to be an actual gil sink... I feel like Fantasia would have to cost a bit more than 1m... maybe even somewhere between 5m ~ 10m.
I do think they'd need to remain untradeable at least.

It's not something that is outside the realm of possibility, as they did make changes to the premium dyes already.
