Just a reminder of 1.0 things you have to get rid of before HW

Just in case anyone forgot or missed the announcement a couple of months back, cracked materia and the old primal items like seals and tokens will no longer be able to be exchanged when Heavensward comes out.

That deadline is approaching quickly now so if you put it off and forgot, or if you simply didn't know, you should really get on top of that ASAP.

Good luck!

Here are the details for anyone who wants to read the news post.

Thanks. I'm a 2.x player but know some 1.x players so I have posted the link on my Twitter. =)

Ah! *rummages around in pocket* I knew I had a few Cracked III's left!! >:3

Good stuff. The seals/tokens exchanges for a handful of old tomes aren't a big deal but I know materia (especially III's and IV's) are likely to be wanted in 3.0 and finding you hoarded them until too late to change them would suck >_<

i personally keeping those item as momento, just as a proof that 1.0 once existed

Maybe just keep one of each type and cash in the rest? At least for the valuable and useful cracked materia.

I said I wouldn't bump this but it's not like I'm making demands or trying to force my opinion on other people. This is just a service announcement aimed at helping players so I figure, what's the harm? It's visible from the title that it's for 1.0 players only and it is important that they get this information before it's too late. We're coming up to the last weekend before it's too late and a lot of people are more active around this time so making it visible now seemed like a good idea. Sorry if it's technically against the rules but it's well intentioned.

You mean company seals?
What tokens are you talking about though?

I have a horrible memory, but, in the original version of Final Fantasy XIV, before A Realm Reborn launched, when you fought a primal like Ifrit, you had a chance of either having the weapon for your class/job drop, or you got tokens you could save up and eventually trade in for the drop you were hoping for. Ifrit, for example, would either drop a fiery weapon, or "Infernals" I believe they were called. I still have Ifrit's Bow and Cudgel on my main from 1.0... still haven't leveled Arc/Bard to 50 ;p

ANYwho, among other items, these tokens survived the transfer to A Realm Reborn/2.0, and a system was put in place to be able to exchange them for tomes. The exchange rate is kinda crap though, so unless you'd amassed a considerable amount, some may feel like they'd rather hang on to them just because they're no longer obtainable in the game.

Exactly right. Do NOT get rid of your company seals, you're going to need them to rank up in 3.0. I was ONLY talking about the 1.0 items.

If ya didn't play 1.0, you don't have to worry about it. If ya did, this is the time to dig out those cracked materia at least (tokens too if ya want) and use them while you can.

Ahh, thanks!
The only old tomes I have are mythology but I'll hang on to 'em. For some reason I thought you guys were talking about newer stuff.

Last chance for anyone who missed this info!

When I cleaned up my retainers' inventory for 3.0 yesterday, I realized I still had ~300 of the feathers left you once needed to even enter the Garuda fight in the first place xD
Sadly they couldn't be traded in. I have other nostalgia stuff, so I ended up throwing them all away ._.

Come at me, 3.0! My body is ready! Ö.Ö

Ah yeah, I still have some Ifrit entry things left too. I can't bear to throw them away though XD I kept them and a bunch of dated gear that I made myself (when I first logged in in Sept of 2010 I saw a bunch of strong higher level players in pink crafted robes and pointy hats, I swore I'd have those one day but due to pursuing various other things at the time I never got around to them until they were already outdated so I made them myself the week before the Calamity and they'll be mine forever!) and some hamlet turn in items.

Disclosure: Hoarding is bad, boys and girls. <_< >_> <_< >_> *Hides with her shiny hoard!*
