[Request] Move all token items to its own Currency tab

[Tyssyn]

No, it could work just like beast tribe tokens.

I wish they'd make more of them discardable. I can't discard any of my eureka crystals, and some other things. I don't want or need them anymore.

[Fynlar]

You hanging on to a bunch of worthless garbage is kind of your own problem.

[Duskane]

Yeah...

Meanwhile, in my inventory:



Freaking StB and ShB Beast Tribes with their useless currencies since once you buy the minion/furniture/mount that's pretty much the end of their usefulness.

At least ARR and HW tokens can be used for Relics if you have some left to do...

could just buy Materia and make money
you definitely missed out making loads of cash with Namazu and storm sap

No, it could work just like beast tribe tokens.

If that's a direct reply to my post... no, it won't necessarily be just like beast tribe tokens, because the tribes only give out one type of currency, and the tribe vendor only deals in that one specific currency to sell everything from crafting materials to mounts and minions or even glamour items.

I don't think we have any example of a single shop interface taking multiple currencies unless it is trading inventory items.

Ok, well that could be useful then, we could go for (I'll use Stormblood raids as an example):
Deltascape
- Head
- Body
- Arms
- Belt
- Legs
- Feet
- Accessories
- Weapon Token

Sigmascape
- Head
- Body
- Arms
- Belt
- Legs
- Feet
- Accessories
- Weapon Token

Alphascape
- Head
- Body
- Arms
- Belt
- Legs
- Feet
- Accessories
- Weapon Token

So you'd select say Deltascape, then get greeted to that nested menu with which currency you wanna spend. For me, that seems like it'd work well. Potentially do the same for Savage with those books. Perhaps change the names up a bit, but that sounds like it could work. I actually like how that works tbh.

I'd be satisfied if it was at least the items that automatically drop right into your inventory, like the weapon tokens or alliance raid coins.

An answer in this interview, but not the one we wanted...

Reddit: The books from Savage have started to become a clutter on player inventories. Is there any plans to add these to a currency tab similar to beast tribe currencies?

Naoki Yoshida: Adding new items to the currency menu is not something I want to do without proper consideration, and books from past raid tiers have very little practical value. I'm sorry to deliver this answer, but I’d prefer players to just discard them.

On a more serious note, currency items clutter up character data, and if we create currency data for each item, it would further increase the amount of data transfer required, which may cause latency issues.

I totally understand these might have sentimental value and it's hard to just throw them away, but if you could please just keep the books from the latest raid and get rid of the past ones...

So, yet another deep-rooted issue with how the game handles inventory. Keep the raid tokens as inventory items, and the system doesn't care how many you have or not because your bag size is the same regardless. Turn them into currencies and you have more data to carry with you at all times.

[RyuSaarva]

why are you carrying 1 of every token in the game, almost all of those are completely useless now.

From the way its worded the issue seems to be having many currencies to keep track of. If that is what causes the problem they can work around it by consolidating into one currency. Someone mentioned Poetics before. They could also use the achievements system, or the Calamity Salvager (buy things for a small amount of gil).

Yeah, they could converge the older currencies into say an Antiquated Allagan Belt for belts for example, Antiquated Allagan Headpiece for the headpiece etc, Antiquated Allagan Coin for the coins for the older 24-man raids, etc. Stuff like that. That could be another way to do it. Then, similar to the way that older tomestone currencies are deprecated, at some point, merge older token currencies into the Antiquated Allagan currencies.
