Suggestions for useless currency

These are currencies that keep getting capped and have no useful way of spending besides Glam Prisms/Dark Matter/whatever, and how could you solve their problem.

Company Seals: You could spend them to get a single FC buff to yourself (FC not required). Most of those buffs are too selfish and situational for a whole FC to make good usd of them. Also, Company Seals are so easy to farm, having a reason to spend them constantly would be nice.

Poetics: You could buy old dungeon gear with them. Farming dungeon glams is a pain in the fucking ass, there's nothing fun about it, and Poetics are already used to buy old stuff anyways, for me it makes sense.

Wolf Marks: Exchange 20000 Wolf Marks for 1500 Trophy Crystals.

Trophy Crystals: Exchange them for previous Series and unobtainable Feast cosmetics. These should be expensive: a full set of gear or a mount should cost 20000 Trophy Crystals. I seriously dislike limited stuff.

Bicolor Gemstones: Expand the FATE system up to ARR and give us more stuff to buy for the love of God, even if it's just minions and orchestrions.

White Scrips: I have no idea what to do with them.

Achievment Certificates: Why do these things exist? Make them achievments for getting achievments, put the rewards there and give us titles.

For leveling dungeons this would be nice but not that big of a deal but dear god for levelcap dungeons this would be amazing.

Achievement Certificates replaced the Veteran reward system (many of the old Veteran Rewards were moved to the Achievement npc for purchase with the Certificates).There has been some additional items added to it from time to time but it's very infrequent.

Previous Series rewards, yes and it is massively overdue at this point.

Past Feast rewards without any change to the original or the replica to differentiate them, hard no. You can hate limited stuff all you want, but a Trophy is a Trophy, no matter how you spin it and argue about FOMO or wintraders/cheaters being present back then.

And certainly not for a mere 20k crystals.

I guess getting rank 100 at pvp is pretty hard, it would be impressive if I didn't know about the pvp mafia that happened back then (and still happens today).

If you think 20k Trophy Crystals is not enough, make it 100 Wolf Collars then.

At this point, I'm convinced the Shadowless fending set isn't real. I have run that dungeon so many times in an attempt to get it for my DRK glam and I think the only fending pieces I've ever seen have been accessories.

I spent 4 hours farming for the Plague Bringer Coat, almost lost my soul.

There is 0 point in trying to convince this dude, easier to just take the identical replica compromise.

There's also the old Allied Seals and Centurio Seals from ARR and HW and SB's hunts.
And have they done anything with Company Credits in recent years?
And all the old Cracked Crystal items you could trade in for materia.
We'll also have to keep an eye of the three Island Sanctuary tokens to see if any of the furniture items you can buy from them will be worth any gil in the future...
(っ´ω｀c)

The only thing on your list that's useless is the achievement points. Once you gain all the items from it then they useless.

The rest however have uses.

Company Seals: if ya owned a fc, would realize the uses of these. They used to help you get fuel for airship/sub expeditions. Helps you to get a permit to add another of those. There's some housing items but beyond that. Yeah it's buffs. Which if you don't find important. Well that's on you. Buffs also aren't "selfish".

I run heat of the battle 2 and reduced rates 2 for my fc to help them. Also not sure how any of those are "too selfish" and "situational" for the fc when all serve a purpose.

Poetics: used for literally all old stuff but no matter how you wanna say farming is a pain. There's alot of pieces of gear that are only from dungeons. So I'm not sure what you want them to do. Sounds like you want it more dumbed down so you can be lazy and get it all for mere poetics.

Bi-color gems: the shared fate system was actually introduced in shadowbringers. It really wouldn't make sense to go back and change the literal system from arr-stormblood. Especially when they did mats and orchestrions, tt cards way different. It would mean a total overhaul of the entire system.

Plus if you were so inclined and driven. Could make a killing off what the current system offers. Always people looking for housing items or mats from bi-color.

White scrip: if you got no idea what this even is then do not include it. However, since you mentioned.

There's two types. Crafter and gatherer. There's also purple but that's a max level thing. Anyways, with white scrip you can get alot from either. Materials, housing items, gear, Mastercraft and master gathering books.

I know I'm not even remembering everything but yeah. Probably best for you to find out in game what this is and how useful this scrip is.

I agree with everything you posted, also Materia is a big one from scrips tbh can sell them or they are incredibly useful for getting melds done.

All of those are useful though

squad existe for buffs, you can use your GC seals on minion chest or relic items (you can make some gils with those)

i would even put some more thing with poetics, once you have everything to 90 they are so useless. would even be good to have teleport ticket to buy with it.

wolf marks are fine, too bad nowaday everything is tied to trophy cristals (luckily we crawl under those too). but i agree with you we need more to buy with trophy cristals.

bicolor gemstones are the worst thing ever aded in the game (with the fate level system added in shadowbringer), the whole fate system need a rework or be removed entirely, they are useless since HW anyway.

white scrips : buy materia with it and sell them, you're welcome ;)

achievements certifcates is the huge problem here, jonathas haven't been updated since stormblood. we really need things to spend our certifcate on. but well mogstation exist and ppl want everything put in mogstation when gold saucer/jonathas exists and get a update to rewards once every 4 years

Useless =/= don't know what to buy

Company Seals: Materials (mostly FC workshop stuff), ventures, glamour prisms, dark matter (repair material), literally an entire catalogue of items

Poetics: Relics - You can stockpile on relic materials even if you don't need them yet. You can directly buy a stage one SHB relic for 1,000 poetics.

Wolf Marks: Ventures, glamour prisms, collectibles (mounts, minions, glams, furniture)

Trophy Crystals: Wolf collars/glamour, wolf marks

Bicolor Gemstones: An entire catalogue of collectibles exclusive to fates, crafting materials, ultra-grindy/expensive collectibles: fallen angel wings and wivre mount

White Scrips: Crafting materials, materia, relic materials (you can sell if you don't intend to make them, an entire catalogue of stuff from glamours to furniture

Achievment Certificates: An entire catalogue of stuff which needs expanding. You can pretty much buy everything once you clear Shadowbringers MSQ alone

He got a new orchestrion roll in Patch 6.4. :p

Meh, they all just need reasonable exchange rates to consumable goods that people -actually- want to consume, or offer alternative means of getting things that are fairly easy to get otherwise.

Essentially paying some resource to save time or actual gil.

Ideas?
+Stuff like dark matter in bulk
+Materia
+venture coins (like with GC currency; add these to other currencies)
+Minion loot boxes. (as above)
+Dungeon Loot, either select-able or as random loot boxes. I'd happily trade like 1000 poetics (or equivalent) to get a specific piece of gear I wanted to glamour instead of just running the dungeon over and over. Or maybe like 250 to get a random piece from a specific dungeon?
+Exchange currency X for Currency Y, even if at a bad exchange rate. Sometimes I need more poetics than I have. Sometimes I wish I could just buy 1-5 totems from old trials. Or maybe I HAVE a bunch of totems I'd rather turn into poetics than trash.

I know they aren't all useless guys, I'm just saying that I have 1.2k+ Glam Prisms in my inventory which I sell 99 for 20k occasionally, I think they can be more useful and interesting than this.

Tbh just having more things to spend Wolf Marks and such would be big win for PvP.

The common ideas include allowing you to buy Hunt currency rewards on top of the current ones.

Trophy Crystals could use something like dyes unique to PvP and Wolf Collars could really use another set of weapons, maybe even a set of armor.

Commendation Crystals could be used with the forementioned stuff like the current Hellhound weapons are upgradeable with them. Another set of upgradeable weapons would be great spending target and if there was an Armor set that can be upgraded piece by piece while it grows in intensity would be great long term PvP goal for many players.

Company seals: Aetheryte tickets

Poetics: Lots of stuff to spend these on depending on where you are at in the game. Some notable mentions are relic weapon progression, capstone gear if you're leveling any jobs, crafting mats to be used or auctioned. And if nothing else, you can dump them on grade 3 soils to place on the market board or consume.

Wolf Marks and Trophy crystals: I don't PvP, but I do know it would take a lot of it for me to get everything I would love to have from the rewards given with that content.

Gemstones: My dude, if you have received everything from these: all the music, cards, minions, and even the riding maps for schits-n-giggles, my hats off to you. Even if you have, furniture is always a high commodity to dump those gems on.

White scrips: These are always useful if you are a crafter. If you are not, you can purchase what is useful to them and place it on the MB. Materia IXs for example. This is also where you can buy lots of class specific glamour for your crafters and gatherers from previous expansions.

Achievement Certificates: ummmmm....
