Why isn't the Shire Shield in the token exchange? Also, why no token returns?

I'm going to chime in on this to add a suggestion. Why don't they just do what Tera and a few other mmo's have done? Just allow pld to buy the sword and shield as a set. Nin already gets two weapons as a set, I don't see why pld can't be the same way.

I dont understand what the issue is with buying shield and sword seperate? If anything paladins are benefitting from that - both when it comes to glamour and stats. I cant see any negative impact on a paladin for having to buy shield and sword seperatly (and it surely isnt such a huge benefit that its "unfair" to everyone else.

The ability to return items, honest mistake happen from time to time, and recover his tome/scrip value should be a thing. It's not like the devs can't put some rules to prevent any kind of abuse, like a limited time to do it, if you do anything that gives XP you no longer can't return it, if you use it to glamour you no longer can return it, if you enter in an instance you no longer can return it and similars.

Even if I didnt sound like that, I actually agree with that - I still believe spending tomes on the wrong item isnt such a big deal and that its down to you to pay attention, but being able to fix that mistake immdiatly without having to use your "one time item restore" would be nice (under the conditions you've mentioned).

All the exchanges are there for inventory bloat so try provoke people in buying more retainers.

While I consider it debateable for other items (like the venture-tokens, beastman currency...) I dont believe it true in this case. Those weapon tokens are nothing you're supposed to hoard. You dont need to have them in your inventory for longer than the few minutes it takes you to exchange them together with the stone for the weapon of your choice. Again, my guess is that the system wont let you exchange tomes and the stone at the same time, so they needed that vehicel for the 1k tomes.

But yes they could be like wow and streamline more exchanges and lets you sell the item back within 2 hours like wow does, it should not be hard.

Buy something else with the tokens and exchange it for GC seals

they probably have the current system because you can't exchange items and tombstones at the same time for something.

Sword and shield are separate because you can't get two items at once and they didn't want you to have to get another raid item for when you purchase the shield.

Yeah. it's a bad system. There should be a way to get a refund for tokens like that. you technically haven't spend them until you use them on a weapon, it's just a converted form of currency.


I also agree with you on the shield, since it's technically part of the pld weapon it should be with the sword, not isolated from it.

FFXIV has framework for multiple item acquisition from a single turn in. see the silver chocobo feathers, and weapon upgrade turn ins.
