    Anemos Crystal to Protean Crystal exchange needs to be streamlined...

    It's going to wear out controllers and keyboards if we have to constantly press a single button so much, and I can't just invest in another controller because a company didn't program a specific feature right.

    I understand that every single exchange is a dice roll in which you'll either get a minimum of 2 Proteans back, all the way to a max of 5.

    Surely there is a way to hand over like 50 Anemos and let the system roll 50 times at once?

    there was another comment in another thread about this - the system has to check everytime to make sure you have open inventory slots to make sure you can hold the protean crystal from anemos crystal, and because it's RNG it has to be a 1:1 transaction.

    I feel like it could still be done, in sets of 10 or 100. Then all that'd have to happen is a check to see the maximum possible attainable. Say you could get 9 protean from 1 anemos, it would require 1 or 2 open spots per 100 traded even if all you got was 200. Heck, it could go one step further and make a new stack for each 100 traded just to ensure nothing funky happens, even if all you get is 200.

    So make it boring and just give us 3 per transaction. Then allow bulk transactions.

    Also your terminology is off. What I think you mean is single transactions. 1:1 means bulk can happen, just so long as the ratio is maintained.

    So does quick sythensis? It only makes sure you have the needed materials and hen produce randomly fails, NQs, HQs, either in stack or, like gear, one item per inventory slot. And cancels if you're full.

    We just need an option to exchange X crystals and he loops through the process and cancels it when you have only no slot left. EZ.

    Edit: Ok.. not the first one

    No it doesn't. Take the logic it's doing now, wrap it inside a For loop for however many times you want to do it, return the final result to the client. This is programming 101.

    I talked about it over here.

    Right now rate is 3.5 so 100 = 350 average.

    Yeah I am in a dilemma now where I have thousands anemos crystals and I am debating whether I should just suck it up and do the 1:1 exchange or hold out for a qol improvement to come in the next couple of weeks.

    I can understand why it's done this way, but it can be quite tedious. I'd welcome any sort of change that makes this less of a time sink. (shouldn't have to be a time sink to turn in crystals lol)
