Help! I'm drowning in Darklight gears!

[Nukocafe]

Due to the overabundance of philosophy stones, it's very easy to get DL gear for your sub classes. However! I am now finding myself absolutely FLOODED with it!

The pattern goes like:
1. Oh i have lots of Philos time to get some gear for my black mage!
2. Oh I got a bunch of crystal tower gear so I no longer need this DL gear!
3. Oh my god I only have 4 slots in my armor inventory and my retainer's overflowing! Ahhh! Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)


So now the question/suggestion is what can we do with our old DL gears?
It seems like a waste to just discard them. Is there any way we can trade them in for Grand Company seals? Or perhaps store them in the armoire like AF gears? I'm starting to get discouraged from getting DL armor for any sub classes now simply because I don't have the room for it and it will feel like a waste afterwards. So please SE, give us something to do with all these DL gears thank you!

You can always throw away the armor pieces you dont like and keep the ones you plan on use as vanity, once the system's implemented. I'm quite sure the great majority of the playerbase is saving their DL heavy set, specially the chest armor, eagerly waiting to be able to use it as skin for their most advanced gear!

I just can't see SE giving us an option to trade those armors. They served their end and you just discard them afterward.

I'm afraid I'll discard them and then SE will be like "oh btw you can now trade your old DL gears for xyz" or something. I wish there was some official world saying yes or no and if no that's ok - I can live with it but I just want to be 100% sure! I don't really like any of the DL gears (especially the cowls on the caster/healer classes) so honestly I'm probably going to get rid of them if I can't trade them in.

it sucks cause you can definitely trade in hero/myth gear for GC seals

Haha, yea, I get that fear too. Like, down the road, you trade this in to get this super awesome item!

I see no reason why they can't be converted into Materia when all the crafted i70 can be.

I'm hoping when 2.2 comes out they relieve some of the restrictions on the DL. I agree that some could be used for vanity, but other than that there really isn't any other options aside eating up inventory/retainer space. If not just making it convertable, at least let us stash the crap in the Armoire.

It served it's purpose for one Job. I use my i87 BRD to gear up most of my alts, but when 2.2 hits and DL is obsolete it's gonna be kinda lame just tossing all of that gear.

I'm hesitating to throw in the event they add any new classes to DL gear. Ninja (Yes, I can dream alright!) for Monk pieces for example.

oh right I completely forgot you can do that. what gives! I'm rather happy with my myth gear and I want to get rid of the DL gear lol!

I imagine by then you can probably get better than DL gear for them anyway!

Unlike XI any gear by then would be worthless and not retroactively available to it, so you won't have to worry about that.

Ive thrown mine away. AFv1 I keep. But as you stated, with the overabundance of Philo Tomes, if i need to re-purchase, then it will be easy to do so in the event that the gear becomes relevant.
