Please make possible to exchange GC seals to Allied Seals

As the patch 2.4 coming and sands/oils easy to obtain now, please SE make a good end-game use of our GC seals, as we are farming atmas and doing fates,etc we always have seals capped and nothing to do with it, and someone who is not interested in the hunt could have another option ( much harder but still..) we can have a ratio like 1:10 or even 1:20, lets put out GC to a good use and yes for glamours too

They are different currencies, used to reward/promote different kinds of content. For example, you get Allied Seals from Hunts, and GC Seals for Fates or GC Leves. The devs want players to actively participate in different kinds of content, rather than just run Fate-grinding parties all day and convert GC Seals to Allied Seals. I realize that a steep conversion rate can help offset this, but it's not the same. Besides, as you said, you have no problem attaining a ridiculous amount of GC Seals, so whatever they set the rates at there will be people who will just grind one type of content to get everything.

If the devs really want to allow you to purchase certain items with other currencies, then obviously they can just make those things available for the respective merchants.

Yes please

Yes, that is what i thought at first but allied seals becoming part of old content, we can have new ways to obtain old things

Yes please, I have 40K GC seals waiting to be spend, sometimes I level a new class, just to spend those seals on gear.

Allied seals seem to be mostly for vanity items (ilvl70 gear with cool looks, furnishings, pets, chocobo dye food) and only a little bit about practical things (Oil and Sand of time, alexandrite, old myth tome items). Considering how steeply priced the vanity items are, I believe they want to keep these things rare.

It seems more likely to me that they'll add new practical items than to change the ways you can earn allied seals and I would personally would prefer it this way if they had to make a change. Like Fyrebrand, I agree that different content should offer different rewards.

It would be great..
Maybe they don't allow it bcoz I got 369,332 GC seals last month... ^^;

be good to have something to spend gc on i just waste it on stuff i will never use so i stop getting the error that i didnt recieve them lol

Why do you assume they are becoming part of old content. There's very little to get with them as it is. They might gate the next sands/oils behind them... or some other such thing.

Oh YeaY

use them to buy the synthesis material then put them on sell.

If you have GC to waste you could always get yourself a couple stacks of ventures and see what your retainers can snag you.

This would be a fair point if they didn't pile everything onto one content already. Allied Seals, Soldiery Tomes, Mythology Tomes, Sands of Time, Oils of Time...all from Hunts.

to go with the eu contest spirit

Your wish is granted
However it requires 1 million GC seals for one allied seal, and one allied seal for 10 GC seals.

Not gonna happen. GC seals are so spammable. Hippogryph leather + raptor sinew => militia choker => 633 gc seals.

Eh, as much as I want some of the outfits for glamor from Allied seals, eventually we'll get new GC ranks, and ideally new looking gear.

....because allied seals are hard to come by, yes? Oh, wait...........

I'm of the opinion that spending allied seals on oils and sands is a bad idea. That stuff will soon be outdated whereas the vanity stuff won't be. Too bad the mage vanity gear doesn't look very nice or I'd buy it.

This is a fantastic idea. While we're at it, can we have it so that once and awhile a special weather effect will make it rain down allied seals which you can catch with your tongue? Oh oh, and let there be a chance that you can catch a sands of time in that manner as well.

Just trying to get the ball rolling.

^^I do this with my GC seals, both of my retainers are constantly out on quick ventures, and while, most of the time, stuff they bring me is mediocre, they sometimes bring me back stuff that easily sells for 100k+ or is from 1.0.

I have a much better idea, how about they unlock those GC extra ranks for us to earn as well as new equips/items instead. Then you'll have plenty to spend seals on.
