    Add bicolor gemstones to the currency window

    I figured I didn't really need to care about how much I have; I could just collect them and visit the vendors every once in a while. But just now I discovered that the things actually have a cap when I received only 7 from a FATE instead of the usual 12! So please add them to the currency window so I can confirm how much I have without having to visit one of the vendors, and so that other players can discover the cap before hitting it.

    While they should absolutly be added to the currency window, you can check how many you have without visiting a vendor by checking the FATE-progress window - you know, the one that tracks how many FATEs you still need to do to increase FATE-vendor-ranks in Shadowbringer-areas. The amount of bicolour gemstones you own is displayed in the top right corner.

    FATE-progress what now? I'll have to look for that the next time I log on. I wasn't aware such a thing existed and have been sorely missing a way to check my progress with the vendor ranks. Does that also show the cap of 1000 gemstones? Because I seriously wasn't aware of the cap until I accidentally hit it, and after that I found out about it by checking my currency on the Lodestone. I had seen the gemstones there before when checking for something else but apparently had not paid attention to the cap.

    I believe it's in the Travel menu, called 'Shared FATEs'? I can't remember exactly, I don't check it often.

    As mentioned, its under the "Travel"-menu point and lets you keep track of the amount of gemstones you own, what rank you've already achieved with the FATE-vendors in all Shadowbringer-areas aswell as how many more FATEs you need to complete in each area to reach the next rank - its a bit hidden and a bit inconvenient for checking your gemstone-progress, but its there!

    One thing that can be added to currency is Faux Leves. I don't think there is any other way to confirm how many you have in-game unless you talk to the fox, or look at the currencies on your Lodestone page.

    It's weird that it's not in the currency window, since they're not individual items like other pseudo-currency items are, so there really doesn't seem to be any reason why they aren't in that window already.

    Yeah, there it is. And it does list the gemstone cap. This window really should be advertised better. I'm not sure if I have ever seen it before. And the travel menu isn't the most logical place for it either. Thanks for pointing me at it!
