    Mechanic Currency UI For Aetherflow Charges - [Gunbreaker Cartridges]

    Was just thinking since GNB has a UI notification of cartridge costs that perhaps Summoner/Scholar should have one too.



    Summoner:


    I'm sure there are other jobs that could use this like Scholar:


    Interestingly White Mage seems to be using it already for their lilies:


    Thanks for reading

    I think actions that cost "1 uniquestackthing" would really benefit from having a charge count rather than a cost. One should know which actions cost 1 uniquestackthing, so showing a cost of 1 isn't really all that helpful. However, how many times you can use the actions that cost 1 uniquestackthing without having to check your gauge would be a meaningful piece of info.

    This is not a bad idea at all - I'd be okay with the number being a counter of how many times you could cast the spell~

    I just made the post because I noticed that the mechanic could easily apply to other jobs of very very similar circumstances (the difference from a GNB cost to a SMN cost is basically none, they're both "things used to power other things at a rate of 1 point" lol). It was a mater of smoothing out mechanics across jobs than anything else
