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

[kattzkitti]

Both of these things make little sense. The shield is half the PLD's weapon, it should be located with the rest of the weapon upgrades. Meanwhile, there's simply no reason to not have a method to return tokens for their currency. It isn't like you can trade the tokens to other players, it's just another tier of currency for no reason.

It is. You must turn in the Shire Sword and Shire Shield together, along with an Illuminati Deepest Gobdip, to receive an Augmented Shire Sword and an Augmented Shire Shield.

No they mean when you buy it - even though I dont really see why its a problem to spend 300 on the shield directly instead of buying 3 tokens and then buying the shield.

The reason not to have the tokens exchange for stones again is simple: It would allow you to circumvent the 2.000 cap. I agree that its just another type of currency for no reason though - we could just buy the weapons directly with 1.000 (or 700 for paladin) scripture, but I would imagine it has something to do with how the game handles those vendors (as in: trading items in might be easier than trading an item - the stone - and a curreny in). There is no reason to exchange tokens for scripture though - except cheesing the cap, but they could remove it then. If you bought tokens that you dont need... to bad, pay closer attention.

If you need to strongarm your design, your design is bad. Really isn't much more to be said about that.

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.

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.

You can't just combine them and be done with it, there's a ton of stuff that would have to be reworked along with it. Not to mention the backend changes, such as changing how item level is calculated.

that's a great idea but I see why they didn't think of it before, ninja weapons are just 1 item that uses only 1 slot while pld is literally 2 items. I think they'd have to get rid of the conjurer/thaumaturge shields to implement that. Who knows, there's hope for 4.0 lol

Honestly, I would HATE having my sword and shield as a set simply because it makes glamour a lot harder. Like the sword but hate the shield? tough. Want to use the garo shield on anything other than the garo sword? tough. PLDs sword and shield are different entities because functionally they are different, NIN has two weapons, but they are the exact same weapon, MNK is the same.

All the exchanges are there for inventory bloat so try provoke people in buying more retainers. I made a thread about this:

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.
