Due to the overabundance of philosophy stones, it's very easy to get DL gear for your sub classes. However! I am now finding myself absolutely FLOODED with it!
The pattern goes like:
1. Oh i have lots of Philos time to get some gear for my black mage!
2. Oh I got a bunch of crystal tower gear so I no longer need this DL gear!
3. Oh my god I only have 4 slots in my armor inventory and my retainer's overflowing! Ahhh! Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)
So now the question/suggestion is what can we do with our old DL gears?
It seems like a waste to just discard them. Is there any way we can trade them in for Grand Company seals? Or perhaps store them in the armoire like AF gears? I'm starting to get discouraged from getting DL armor for any sub classes now simply because I don't have the room for it and it will feel like a waste afterwards. So please SE, give us something to do with all these DL gears thank you! ;)
Help! I'm drowning in Darklight gears!

You can always throw away the armor pieces you dont like and keep the ones you plan on use as vanity, once the system's implemented. I'm quite sure the great majority of the playerbase is saving their DL heavy set, specially the chest armor, eagerly waiting to be able to use it as skin for their most advanced gear!
I just can't see SE giving us an option to trade those armors. They served their end and you just discard them afterward. :D -
02-05-2014, 12:24 AMNukocafeI'm afraid I'll discard them and then SE will be like "oh btw you can now trade your old DL gears for xyz" or something. I wish there was some official world saying yes or no and if no that's ok - I can live with it but I just want to be 100% sure! I don't really like any of the DL gears (especially the cowls on the caster/healer classes) so honestly I'm probably going to get rid of them if I can't trade them in.Quote:

it sucks cause you can definitely trade in hero/myth gear for GC seals

I see no reason why they can't be converted into Materia when all the crafted i70 can be.
I'm hoping when 2.2 comes out they relieve some of the restrictions on the DL. I agree that some could be used for vanity, but other than that there really isn't any other options aside eating up inventory/retainer space. If not just making it convertable, at least let us stash the crap in the Armoire.
It served it's purpose for one Job. I use my i87 BRD to gear up most of my alts, but when 2.2 hits and DL is obsolete it's gonna be kinda lame just tossing all of that gear. -
02-05-2014, 12:36 AMGrizzlebeardI'm hesitating to throw in the event they add any new classes to DL gear. Ninja (Yes, I can dream alright!) for Monk pieces for example.Quote:

Ive thrown mine away. AFv1 I keep. But as you stated, with the overabundance of Philo Tomes, if i need to re-purchase, then it will be easy to do so in the event that the gear becomes relevant.
-
02-05-2014, 02:07 AMDaenerys_SedaiI'd save it, just in case SE decides to make spiritbonding DL useful.Quote:

I've spent WAY too much time getting DL gear. And, even though I hate it, I'm still keeping in just in cases. I really do hope they come out for a use for it in the future or at least a way to store it in the armoire.

But as this thread pointed out: 1) the tomes are in abundance. 2) because of their low level now (and increasingly low level come patch 2.2) if SE adds spirit bonding option to DL (which they haven't turned on Materia making option for other lower level gear so far) then I surmise that it will not be too much of a hassle for anyone to repurchase (which is what most people will do if materia can be made off of it after you break down that first piece anyway) and re-bind. Due to all the content that will already be in place for you to run to bind it: Amdapor Keep on up to Crystal Tower, Coil ect.
Not that there is a right answer here, just playing out the options based on how liberal the game is with tomes vs the content that binds that gear vs the impact that said gear's materia would have on the market vs the consequences of just tossing it to save space (actually I had my retainer hold it before I tossed it). -

They should let us combine gear.. so they get a sense of purpose.
Example:
In order to get a new super rare Sword, you need to combine the Curtana(Relic) + Break Blade(Ex Primal) + "key item of the quest" to get the weapon, this way, your work that you put into it is not just thrown away. -

I skipped DL gear on my most recent class and only bought DL jewellery then went straight into CT.
I think it would be a good idea if we could trade in Darklight gear at Revenants Toll towards Myth Gear. For example you could get 100 myth tomes per item of DL clothing (150 for pants or body) or something of that nature. -

02-05-2014, 06:30 PMKincardIt's not even worth the 2 minutes it takes you to walk to your Grand Company. It's what, like maybe 200 seals for a myth item? Who cares. Given how long it takes to get myth items you would think it'd be more on the magnitude of giving at least 1000 seals apiece- not that you'd have any use for those seals anyway.Quote:

02-05-2014, 06:40 PMFelisYou can always buy the DL gear new. It is now not a problem to get the philo stones for it.Quote:

Obtaining equipment is very easy.
The value of the equipment is trivial.
There is always newer stuff coming.
For all but the best possible performance, you never even need to worry about equipment.
What I'm trying to say is: Do not perceive your equipment as anything important or valuable. Consider it just another 'random mob drop' to be used and tossed. -
02-06-2014, 01:42 AMNukocafe
at least with random drops I can spirit bond them and turn them into Materia or turn them in for seals (which I often use to purchase repairing matter) but it feels like such a waste to not be able to do anything with the DL stuff.

Can I trade in My DL gear for myth tomes or something?
