High level Weapon / Armor trading; selling

I dunno if this was discussed but from farming Garuda and Titan and from Running coil I've noticed I have a lot of useless doubles of items or from running coil; noticed that the Mythology gear I purchased is outclassed by some Allagan gear.

Since most gear is class depenedant I can't use the armor I bought with myth on another class. So now I'm stuck with either allagan gear or Myth gear that can't be used on another class (save jewelry).

This being said I think players should be able to trade SAME iLVL gear with each other for jewelry or armor/ weapons; some mix of the sort.

I know the game is supposed to be balanced, dunno if this sounds broken; I'm pretty sure lots of players have though similar on gear that they can't use or trade and it would be a big waste to get rid of.

Having at least TWO of each Garuda and Titan weapon from farming ( putting some in retainer) I don't wanna throw them out simply because I have a double or triple. obviously the game allowed for us to have more than one, I'm sure it Would be otherwise if not.

So that being said; we can trade in those Green and Pink In for seals for the grand company. I think we should be allowed to the do same for Myth and Philo with ilvl60+ gear

ILVL 60-70 would be for philosophy

And iLVL90 for myth.

Not to trade for the similar amount we paid for the item but like half or whatever would seem fair.

Thats just what I think. Hopefully someone(s) some where share the same idea.


Thank you for your time.

I don't really get your point. You're complaining because you're hoarding 2-3 of every Garuda weapon...well then just get rid of them. You only need 1 (or less if you don't even play the class) just earn them back in the future.

Its not a complaint; I love how people are glass half empty.

I have more than one because from farming I noticed ; from being the last person to leave an instance , the item would go directly to me and since I have it, it said I couldnt obtain it. So I would put stuff in my retainer and then get doubles triples.

Im implying since the game allows you to have doubles ; why not have a positive way to get rid of it.

AND my main idea is for the mythology/ allagan item trade. because I'm only complaining that I have a Wyrm Helmet that's outclassed by Allagan visor and now I have no use for the helm.

Thats the main point; if u have yet to grasp it

You could have looked at drops, and decided which pieces had the stats you wanted, if the allegan had the stats you wanted, you could have chosen not to buy the dragoon hat. I think it's fine how it is now, maybe in a couple patches you will be able to trade them in for GC seals. Maybe the system that WoW is headed would be more to your liking, each set of class gear morphs to the spec you are in, so you don't have multiple sets for classes anymore, let's take that and multiply it by the inabilty you have to plan ahead on gear purchases, and make it to where the allegan only has one set, and it magically morphs into any job you currently are, if you are a warrior it's the tank armor, if you swap to white mage, it becomes healer armor. They could implement this on a special server, and ship you and everyone else that thinks this is a good idea to that server.

I've done a lot of looking into what drops I should purchase and what to wait in coil for.

You're missing the main point.

I'm just suggesting why not?

If its fine the way it is; so be it. But why not do something else with it?

If housing brings about mannequins for you to put weapons and armor on display or have some sort of armory; then whatever

But that's not being announced or discussed; that's why I brought this to attention; to talk about

And for the double of the primal weapons I have. I could easily throw away the doubles and if I need to get them again just grind it out; but i rather see how else I can use them, instead of waiting for me to lvl another class to 50 and the using it for 40mins while I do chimera to to titan

Your idea would only create problem where pple would need item they don't need it just so they could trade for item they could use.

So you want the developers to implement something in the game specifically to cater to you and your duplicates? Uhmm... wow.

Nope of there's no use then that's fine.

BUT for trading; it would help if some one had a Garuda item they didnt need and some one traded them one they did.

Here is a link to where mannequins are furniture they plan to implement in future patches.

You're right. that'd be a down fall, but I've seen a whole bunch of people with relic+1 and allagan rolling need on a lesser version of what they have for "collection purposes" so its already happening.

Thanks! So I'm good as far as that goes. looks like people are still gonna "hoard" for this purpose sooner or later.


I'd still like for people to turn in iLVL60+ gear for philosophy or myth(for iLVL90 gear)

Everyone seems to avoid that point

Then people would just sell them.

I agree: having a ton of "useless" items around really sucks.

My friends all have an entire set of gear that they'll never use just because it's on a class/job that they'll never use. Having a load of these items lying around is a waste. Selling them for 10-15 gil is also pretty much a waste.

If our old gear could be exchanged for seals then why can't these gears?


Granted, it'd be awesome if we could trade them off to our friends who needs them (basically, everyone who does Titan HM knows that picking up the weapon is nigh on useless since you'll be getting your Relic in a few short minutes of grinding out the Philosophy Tomes for it) but I can understand why it's not in place.

Still, it's a little bit of a missed opportunity and I can see OP's view on this.

Exactly. but sell it for some philo or myth. Doesn't have to be grand.

Exactly. aside from "collection " why not for those who just need 50 more philo or myth for their relic/+1 or just to trade something YOU DONT WANT to some one who needs it for a similar weapon/ gear of equal iLVL

It's already happening, but the extent is very limited, because, as you have found out, you could ever only collect 3 of each.

But if we now open up the door to trade those in for anything at all, people are going to be needing everything. New players who really need the weapons will be competing with very bad odds; they will spend even more time farming for their weapon than we ever did---because at our time, people can't NEED the stuff once they have one.

The situation where we can have 3 of each RARE label item is just an oversight or a loophole that resulted from the server's lack of---or design of--- inventory management. It was not an intentional result.

I see. But if not remove it then; have a positive approach. Maybe even GIVE away the items if needed.

My main goal is for trading. I brought up selling the Primal items because some of us have doubles

But I'd like for people to be able to trade equal iLVL items.

It's more along the lines of just being unnecessary. Too often, people don't realize how a simple benefit can cause significant problems. I mean... think about the shout/tell functions in this game, and how RMT have been using something good to be more of an annoyance to the players, and beneficial for themselves.

Obviously, your suggestion doesn't have too much to do with RMT, but rather it eliminates the role of RNG. If you can simply trade in goods for equal value, why bother having the goods at all? A simple token drop would be more than enough (and simple on the inventory sorting), as you can just pick and choose what you want. Drops become irrelevant, in essence.

This is for those who have multiple.

You did make a good point.

I guess for those with doubles we gonna have to wait for housing to put em on display.

I still feel a way to sell/ trade in/ trade should be concidered / thought about.

If all this gets thought over and is exploited or is a bad idea ; then by all means dismiss it.

Just wanted to bring it up.

You also gotta understand the frustration of RNG in coil for certain drops or when u buy a myth item only to find out Allagan is better

Of course with knowledge ahead of time this can be avoided but still. just a suggestion.

Bump for others views on it
