    I'm not a programer so I dont know how difficult that would be to code, but atleast it would be something to look forward to instead of wasted Exp.
    Extremely easy but the issue would then be balance - Gil is already overflowing and has little use which is why they cut off a digit from our total gil (especially in transfer from 1.0 > 2.0), in terms of tomes, we already have so many sources that another source would be a waste in a sense it'd be such a low conversion rate that you technically waste that exp you could have used to hit 51.

    I don't see where the "balance" issues you speak of are.
    It would be perfectly fine.

    Another way they could do it, is by converting EXP earned into rested EXP you can use on other classes.
    There is many ways to encourage people to continue questing/doing levequests, etc. without hurting the economy.

    This is why for instance quests that award 10-40k+ exp on completion doesn't convert to 10-40k+ gil on completion and instead gives us 300-6kish gil depending. (if you don't count rare items like materia that shot up in price.)

    Like when we could convert our Philo tomes into Myth it was a low conversion rate even though Myth became the "worthless" tomes compared to soldiery tomes. So while you'd think it would be fine, the precedence set by current balance shows it would be more of a waste to get it converted in the long run , it's just how Yoshi P works.

    So as said, for it to truly be a conversion, do you think getting 60k gil instead of 60k exp will help the economy? Think of all the quests at 50 that still give exp and the quests at 50 that gives gil rewards and notice the significant difference in reward - It's sadly balanced out and that's what we'd expect. Same with the Challenge log.

    Who the hell proposed 1xp = 1 gil ratio?.

    It doesn't even have to be gil, it could be anything useful, maybe something cosmetic.

    If memory serves me correctly, 1.0 had achievements for completing a certain number of quests per region. I don't remember if there was a reward tied to it or not. WoW has a similar achievement in the form of lore master... which was a royal pain to get before the revamp. You really had to earn it

    No one, hence the rest of my post:

    Think of all the quests at 50 that still give exp and the quests at 50 that gives gil rewards and notice the significant difference in reward
