What to do with useless Darklight gear?

I play at a relatively slow pace, so forgive me. Now that I am buying things with myths, what do I/we do with the darklight gear that is of no more use? Store it in the retainer? There should be other options for this. (Sorry if this has been brought up already, I tried searching the forums with no results.)

You pretty much answered the question yourself. Just store anything that your not using in your retainer.

Or level another class that can use the same gear. Unless you're monk or bard, at least one other class can use the same darklight (whm, sch - war, pld - blm, smn).

I discard it. I don't like collecting something I really didn't want in the first place so when I get better I toss it. Not that I'm getting much Darklight, some pieces just aren't worth getting for some jobs, iLevel be damned.

Yup, keep it on retainer for when they release new jobs that can use it years from now~

Thanks for the responses! A bit sad about having to discard it, though storing it in the retainer for future classes might not be so bad, but they would be taking plenty of space. Hopefully SE thinks something up about this.

You can keep in retainer for now because 2.2 will bring vanity so you could use it if you like any dl gear looks or wait for them make them possible to convert to materia of IV 100% or even the V (I said V because I see the catalyst for V but no materias around yet).

You could always store it and then wear it when vanity system comes out.

I plan to keep mine in case they made a way to turn them in for something useful later on like other tomes, gc seals, or something... I put so many hours into getting them that it just seems wrong to discard.

Not on topic, but your character looks really cool! Good job on the makeup :D

I'm holding onto it mainly because a) they may release a new class that uses the same gear (I play a Bard), and b) they're looking to make Darklight dye-able so there will be fun cosmetic possibilities once that and vanity looks come about ... assuming they're doing something along the lines of WoW's transmogrification or a myriad of other MMO's 'equip the item to a specific vanity slot to have that area look like that item.'

I'm with you guys, I'll store it for future jobs. Unfortunately my darklight gear is job specific (LNC/DRG), so here's to hoping a ninja can wear it.

I'll be keeping my BRD DL gear hoping that when Musketeer is added it will be able to use it as well.

A trade in system would be great, reduced philo tomes or something like that.

Why are everyone saying saving it for future jobs wouldn't new jobs be level 50 and be able to equip ilevel 90 gear unless they release new classes with the jobs.

Yes, all this storing..I personally don't know where to put stuff anymore, both my retainers and armory and inventory are full :/ wish they made it storable is armoire...

I threw mine away that was class specific. I don't particularly like the models for most of it and Philo is so easy to get now that if I need it for a new job in the future I'll just buy it again. Hopefully I'll have enough CT or Allagan gear by that point though that it'll share with any new jobs.

I'm a collector, yet I discard my used darklight pieces. Reason is simple, I don't have space for it, they don't look that good and they are too common. I'd rather save a rare green than a common darklight.

DRG has their own DL too...

On that note, BRD'll probably share DL with Musketeer if/when it comes out, MNK with a Thief/Ninja-type class, and DRG Samurai or Dark Knight...

I think DL is storeable in the Armoire in your inn room right now

Darklight isn't storable in the Armoire right now. Neither are the 4 horse heads that we got for the event. My inventory is stuffed, even though I go through it every couple days. I'm keeping mine in hopes of it having a real purpose later on. I'm not to fond of the look of Monks, but w/e.

I thought they fixed it so that at least all festive items went in there...guess I won't do that event them :/ Seriously, I never encountered so many space issues in any mmo ever.

I save some stuff in my retainer, BUT, if you're going to discard it, at least trade it in for company seals.

v....vanity?

But..company seals have absolutely no use x_x I'm always capped and trying to find any possible way to waste them. I wish you could give them in for at least a small amount of tomes or something.

And I would if such were possible. You can't Deliver blue nor purple items. Only pink and green.

keep it they will put a system to repay ur used DL u dont need with philo tomes same with myth pieces too

i dont know how much but possibly 20-50% of the actual price for the new piece

It would be cool if you could take them and throw them on furniture for housing. Like put them on a striking dummy that could be put outside.

Save for vanity.

I know they're working on it, but the Armoire really should have been for this. By default, *every* blue or purple item and every piece of event gear should have been allowed in there, along with one-time items obtained in the storyline.

We simply should have had the option to upgrade the inn room with extra storage chests and then later, be able to move that to private housing.

I hear DL gear make excellent paperweights. True story. :p

Please look forward to it.
