Cracked Materia

[Blaize]

It's a shame because in the old forums I got an amazing reply when I asked a similar question.

Remember, you're exchanging the gear WITH the cracked materia for Allagan Tomestones. These can be used to buy primal tokens for primal weapons...or DL gear.
From what I was told by a player on the old forums, it was like 10-15 tomestones for a primal token, and a few hundred to a thousand for DL gear. That sounds like alot but you'd get a few thousand tomestones easily for a few double/triple meld trade-ins.

As for whats worth being bought, I'd argue don't knock off the tokens just yet. As we know there are new primals, Odin and Titan which you can probably get tokens from with this trade. You could be the first person with Odin weapons/gear before actually killing him is my uneducated guess :P

As for DL gear, I don't know if they will be dropped in 2.0 dungeons like they were in 1.0, but I'd assume so. Regardless though at the end of the day I'm sure primal weapons and DL gear will be replaced by better gear/weapons from bah and crystal tower...so don't worry too much about it. Honestly for me, I'll probably end up getting gear/weapon for my off classes and not my main.

Actually nah this is slightly wrong.

You can only buy Darklight items, and like 3 Different pets (If memory serves me, Spriggan, Raptor and Dodo).
Unless I was looking in the wrong place you can't buy Primal Tokens, nor Primal Weapons, However they buy the old Primal Tokens (Kupo Nut Charm for example) off of you for 15 Tomestones of Philosophy.

I didn't see anywhere where you could exchange Cracked Materia for Tomestones, only Gear with Cracked Materia in it...Single pieces of Materia I could only find was able to be exchanged for a new Materia of the same Tier.

Odin and Behemoth items on this Vendor required 5 of: Odin's Mantle or Behemoth Horn respectively to be exchanged for a Odin/Behe item.

But the Vendor sold Darklight Gear for anywhere from 375(I think, it may be 395? lol bad memory is baaaaad) to 1300-something depending on the item.

Yeah I could be wrong, again this is just what I read from a player when I asked about the exchange rate because I didn't have time to check the tomestone npc myself, thats what he said more or less. The odin part though was my hopeful guess :3
