    I said this in another thread, but a possible solution for the gold farming would be some sort of exchange system. So many silver = some gold. Would still be faster to do the gold farming, but it would allow for different methods of grinding. Could also work the other way (trade gold for silver). Your point about gold in the treasure chests would be good as well.

    Hell yeah I support this. Exchange with a small "tax" like 100 of one gets you like 90 or 80 of the other sounds hella fair. I think their fear is everyone would just gold farm and fates would be dead so they'd have to balance the "tax" to keep the rates fairly consistent each way. Whatever the conversion rate i'm 100% behind having any exchange at all.

    I agree but the exact rate would need to be fine-tuned in accordance to farming methods and established value. Look at it like this, despite the names, Silver is objectively treated as being more valuable than Gold, it takes 600 Silver for 1 Sanguine Cipher, but 960 Gold for the exact same item, this is a trend that permeates through out the shop, 1000 Silver for a glam item/Phantom Job vs 1600 Gold for the same, 40 Silver vs 50 Gold for a pot/coffer, so on.

    The exact exchange rate is something to be discussed, but it not only cannot be 1:1, it also needs to trade Silver for a greater amount of Gold for it to even be viable, and Gold for a lower, maybe even less than half, amount of Silver, the goal should be to make it less efficient than normal farming, and exist as an alternative if you absolutely cannot stand the normal farming method for that currency.
