QQ made a big mistake...anyone know if I spent UAT on wrong item...

If I can get that item removed from my inventory and get the UAT restored with one time restore? Honestly I've had a horrible week and I don't want my virtual life to suck too (lost a huge scholarship for not having enough hours because I changed my major and didn't have prereqs). Personal stuff aside, I just really really really hope getting my UAT back is possible. I don't mind farming the soldiery again but getting the UAT was near impossible >_<

I already contacted support and even reported a bug because I didn't get a warning that the burtgang was for a class I didn't have. I was checking to see how many soldiery tokens I needed, and saw the burtgang highlighted. I don't know why I thought it was an axe but I did and so since it was the only highlighted option I took it. But i didn't get the warning it was for a class I don't have at 50 :0 so please if there's anything I can do besides support and bug report, let me know.

No other method. If you're simply interested in the UAT though, it's quite easy to get now. Most of the time, people are not rolling for it in ST since majority wants Oil.

That took me forever though over twenty runs XD I don't have that much time to play since I work and go to school.

We have received your report regarding an incorrect item purchased with special currency, and we apologize for any disruption that this has caused. While we are not able to offer a reimbursement of the special currency, we may be able to offer an exchange for an item of equal or lesser value from the same vendor.

Please know that this is a direct exchange for an item of equal or lesser value from the same vendor, involving the same currency type. At this time, this exchange does not include reimbursement of the currency itself in whole or in part, nor do we accept additional currency in order to exchange for a more expensive item than that purchased.

That's their policy on stuff like this. If you used your UAT for the wrong weapon, and if they can help you, it'll only be by replacing the weapon you bought with a different weapon of your choice. This is a one-time thing and you'll have to verify your account info. After they verify everything is right, they will ask you to discard the item in question that you don't want, and then they will verify that. After that, you'll get your new item in the mail about a day later.

^ This is all what happened with me, your experience might differ.

Good luck!

The main problem is that Burtgang is cheaper than all the other weapons, since the rest of the cost is in the shield.

I got a response from customer support and they say I can trade in one item for one of equal or lesser value. I hope this means a burtgang can be exchanged for a conquerer if I provide the extra tokens. It says in their policy they won't accept additional currency to purchase an item of greater value :/

Please, if you think that Square Enix should change their policy on one time item restores so that you can purchase an item of greater value for additional currency, let me know. Maybe they'll consider it! I also don't think it's cool that a burtgang is cheaper than the other weapons because then this mess can happen :/

Yes the burtgang is cheaper which really really sucks :/ would they let me purchase the shield, discard that, then get my restore?

Anyone know if I can trade burtgang for a UAT instead of a conquerer since the conquerer is of greater value?

You're OK losing 3 weeks of soldiery, but not OK losing the UAT? You can get a UAT in 1-2 runs of ST.

If you're ever in a run where the oil and the UAT drops, you're pretty much guaranteed the UAT. Most people don't waste their weekly roll on the UAT anyway. Everyone runs ST to gear alts, or for oil.

If you really don't mind farming the currency again you should try making a premade party with friends and FC mates.

On the bright side, what you did will have a side-effect of making you so much more subconsciously aware of what you are buying.

I'm not sure why your server discards UATs. Not all UATs Weps are better but the WAR one is amazing. And some players are waiting for an Atma Buff that may never happen.

So sorry OP for your oops moment I've done some drunk Myth Purchases back in tha day when Myth was the Top Currency and kinda hard to come by. Sorry for all the bad luck you've hade too. I guess try to make lemonade and become a good Pally. Accidents happen you gotta live with them sometimes. I hope everything works out in your favor though. GL :)

Wow, time for me to start running ST again! Last UAT I got took me roughly 19 runs.

Since when? It's actually the other way around, most do not waste there weekly roll on a oil that can be easily gotten from hunts vs one that is only from their and coil. i guess if there is nothing else to go for i can see why, but i wouldn't even bother with ST anymore at that point for 30 minutes of ST to lot vs 5+ people. assuming it even drops. while during that same amount of time could have gotten 2-3 oils from hunts.

I have had the same experience, no one rolled on the UAT, and all wanted the oils, might be a primal data center thing, but it does make sense since more oils are required than UATs

My luck with UAT is horrible honestly. I only got it because I literally begged people to let me have it lol. It rarely drops and if it does I roll very low. And I've cleared t6 but don't have a static for t7. The one time I rolled a 97 on a UAT someone rolled 98. So yeah, I'd rather get the UAT back than the soldiery.

Hi there.

So you are telling me before changing Major, you didn't check if you were all ok, and just jumped into the bandwagon. o.O

Now you're just telling us you did the same with the Burtgang (you didn't check) o.O

Ouch. As much as I want to feel you, I just can't.

Still, Yeah I'll admit to lose a scholarship, it sucks. I'm sorry for that >.<

If it was the only one Highlighted, it means you got enough Rowena's Token (Soldiery) Else you would have had purchased 10 of them, so that ALL would have Highlighted.

So my instinct tell me you had set your eyes on it, without checking..

And before making a purchase, when you mouse over, you read the description. You would have seen PLD.

(Took forever - 20 runs.) We sure have different perspective ^^

As others mentionned: I would be more sad at the loss of the soldiery. Which is, in the end, not much (3 weeks)

You will catch up, even if like me, you have limited time to play.

That UAT shall be yours since again, everyone wants the Oil.

I would put all of this aside and flush it, getting over it, as your real-life issues to me are wayyyy more important.

Besides, in a few patches, soldiery will replace mythology and you might find it easier to get your Conqueror.

I would view it as a challenge: to get the 10 Tokens first or UAT? I can do one ST run per day on weekdays, after all that is done in real life, and after all that is more important in the game.

Pretty sure you'll get at the point where it will become non-relevant after a few weeks, and you won't regret not wasting your one-time usage of SE's diligence.

(I wouldn't waste it on this item)

How about you take it as getting your PLD to 50? you would have a nice weapon in waiting, and perhaps with Desynth..

All in all, I wouldn't count that as a loss.

Hope you'll reflect and come to the same conclusion than me on this.

Wish you the best, hope real-life will become better.

I have a thinking that: if it was meant to be this way, so be it. Life has something better for me in the long road.

Good luck.

I don't entirely agree with this guy above me, but you should have been more careful. If SE helps you out I will be surprised - I bought the BRD chest pieces with Myth back in 2.0 when I was gearing my MNK. I said, "OOPS! I'm an idiot," and kept on going.

It sounds like you aren't doing Coil if you aren't able to have access to a UAT, so I wouldn't worry about having anything above an i90 or i95 weap anyways, especially as a WAR since you can set aggro so easily early in fights with Berserk+IR+Hate spam.

Hi this guy below me ^^

I'm not asking anyone to agree with me at all: everyone is free to choose so or not, having their own opinions. ;)

Everyone, once per account, can get from SE a one-time item restore.

It is not to be taken lightly as it's your only chance; better use it when it's really worth it.

Yes Coil would be even better if you get a static and all agree that the UAT, if it drops, is yours to take.

Easier said than done; that's why we all go the ST route, which UAT comes out pretty often.

*And keeping aggro against iLvl110 peeps when you are iLvl90, it ain't that easy, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Many people do not like, and some outright refuse, playing with the current zerg mindset. Many people who do try to join in still get left out. Not to mention that not everyone can get full credit with that many, no matter what people try to claim.

I am doing coil (currently trying t7) and so the axe would be helpful. And yes I understand I made a mistake with that weapon. It was late and I was tired and excited but I still didn't get that warning message (still my fault, I admit). I'm just asking if it's possible to change the burtgang for the conquerer if I pay the rest and if not if I can change it for a UAT since it's a huge pain for me to get one.

Lastly my real life scholarship issue wasn't actually my fault like in the game. I was told it would be removed if my GPA dropped and I wasn't taking enough classes, but apparently it was an either or and not an and issue. Currently they're looking at my appeal for reinstatement and I might get it back :D

I am sorry to say this, but in real life... NEVER rely on what other people say when it comes to your own well being. Read the fine print always, if you have questions ask. Even if people told you one thing, the responsibility is on you to understand and make sure you have the correct information. I'm sure the documentation that came with your scholarship application or acceptance clearly defines what requirements you had to follow. That being said, if you want to get anywhere in life, don't play the victim. Take responsibility for your actions and move on.

So You bought the wrong item? put in the time to get another one. Like someone mentioned above, a UAT is not worth losing your one time item restore. Now lets say you accidentally discard a Novus weapon, or something that took an amazingly long time to get... Then use it.

I do take responsibility for my actions; I am not a child. Some things are just out of my control and yes I should've read the fine print but I didn't. That was my mistake. I am not blaming the other financial aid person for telling me something, but the fact is what that person told me is what I ended up believing. I can't have questions or doubts if I actually believe in that, get me? Now I know to be more aware but essentially someone made a mistake doing their job and I made a mistake doing mine, and put together that screwed me up royally.

On the plus side however, I did get reinstated so I got my scholarship back! Now if only I can get that UAT :P

I'm glad things worked out for you IRL, was in a similar situation when i was in university so i know how frustrating it can get when your future plans become uncertain. That being said, i would personally not use my 1 time restore on UAT, i understanding its frustrating having picked the wrong item but its 1 item; the 1 time restore can restore your entire account and is normally meant to be used if you got hacked or had a major issue with your account data and lost everything. I can even understand using it if u got a novus and lost it somehow but a UAT imho isn't worth using the ticket on.

That UAT will give u a 100 weapon(upgrade to 110 with sand), but your also doing t7 so you have a chance of getting it from there, ST drops it and finally relic will also go to 110 and usually with better stats since its customizable. As others have mentioned, the amount of people who roll on UAT in ST has gone down, you only need 1 UAT per class where as you need 4-5oil so if both drops, your chance of getting UAT is really high. Finally with 2.4 around the corner, ST and Coil t7 roll/entry limits will be removed so u can farm them all you want; not to mention that in 2.38 which is weeks away there will be another upgrade to novus, which will probably make it better then tome weapon anyway. At the end of the day, its really up to you but imo considering the power of the 1 time restore, its wasted on an item like UAT
