Darklight/ Relic Armor Exchange system?

I would just like to see all of this DL & iLVL55+ gear become convertible. I had the idea of not being able to turn all of my old AK gear into Materia when I don't need it anymore...the same for DL gear. Would be a great way to keep people farming for DL gear if they could make the higher tier Materia from it.

Would LOVE to see this put in place.

Bump for getting something out of old gear.

Bump for getting something out of old gear. Don't want material from Darklight gear.

I think it was designed like this to act as a time sink, so it's unlikely.

And I oppose it. There needs to be certain things that just spells "I spent a lot of time on this game" and getting full DL for everything could be one of it. I know it's time consuming, I'm also someone who likes to be useful to my raid in multiple roles, but I think this time sink is not that unreasonable.

Especially since DL is only 5010 Philosophy.

Getting a full Vanya+Rose Gold/Astral set (all equip slots) will take you well beyond 17000 tomes, and then you have to 5-meld them to make them hot, which will fail a lot, and cost you an arm and a leg just in materia. Or months to convert and make them yourself.

17000 tomes is 4 million gil in tome materials (at 30k per).

But then you can use it for vanity purpose (when vanity is out), and it's much better than DL, and debatably equal (some say superior) to AF2. That's your reward, just don't delete it.

I don't Play FFXIV for Vanity. But trying to Penta-Meld/Forbidden-Meld cost a lot of gil trust me.

I feel your concern on this but I don't think giving back more tomes would be right.They want you to spend time on getting the sets for each class, not 2 classes and then flip flop your gears. Maybe in the future special DL materia that can only be fused to AF2 , or maybe only to PVP gear and they have special stats specific to pvp. Or they can break down into points used for upgrading to better pvp gear. Just something that doesn't allow you to cycle DL for each class as you get your better gears.

Trading in old gear to get identical gear for another class, or even gil items? I can't even begin to describe how stupid this sounds.

I'd like to know if there are any MMOs that allow you to this.

All I have to say is: 'Tee-hee'
Shouldn't have got so much DL gear when AK gear would suffice 90% of the time until you get af2. Did you run a ton of CM or something? Should've saved those tomes for an alt class's accessories and such.
