What To Do with Untradable Gear

[bridgetmobyvixen]

So, do you all just sell all your non-convertible untradable gear for the gil listed on the item details?

I am working on getting my weaver up to lvl 30 since I believe that will allow me to do some desynthesis, but since you can't give other items to FC members or friends to break down, I am guessing just to vendor them.

I just wanted a sanity check before I do that since it seems like such a waste.

Thanks for the thought and/or advice!

No (or almost no) blue/green item is Convertable into materia, but most of them can be traded into your Grand Company for a small number of Grand Company seals via the "Expert Delivery" option. These items are also Desynthable if you've chosen the right desynth class for that piece of gear as one of your three desynth classes. Only the latest items should be non-deliverable/non-desynthable, such as Law gear, Esoterics gear, Alexander gear, Alexander Savage gear, and Ravana/Bismark Extreme weapons. You also can't deliver/desynth relics, including crafter/gatherer Supra and Lucis items, and anything storeable in the armoire. (Oh, and the non-head i70 token turn-in crafter body equips can't be desynthed STILL - and I'm still bitter about that!) I think everything else, you can deliver or break.

Besides converting to materia, desynthing into materials, delivering for seals, and saving them to use as glamour items or for another class you're newly leveling, there's really not much else you can do with them.

Aetherial [pink] can be turned into GC also.

Aetherial [pink] can be turned into GC also.

And they can be converted, and they can be desynthed. So, really, they get the best of all worlds when it comes to that stuff.

(aside: Still wish the HW quests gave Aetherial gear instead of HQ crafted. Same effect for people leveling, except it wouldn't have tanked the market, ruining mid-game (51-59) crafting forever.)

I forgot about trading for seals at my GC since I got everything I wanted from my current GC and hit that max rank. Maybe I will go ahead and switch GC's now and trade some stuff in for seals. I got my weaver to lvl 28 so a couple more levels and I think i can start doing some desynth on the cloth gear which could be useful.


Thanks for the idea! I like the seals better than just a 100 gil or something crappy.

Ventures and Cordials are always worthwhile, I find. And if you're in an FC that cares about airships, they need thousands of coke as you progress through the airship part ranks. Yes, thousands.
