Suggestion: Trade-in old GC gear for seals back

[Rokien]

Yeah, because you don't lose anything by buying something and trading it back for a fraction of what you paid.

No duh.... come on, that could mean buying something or not buying it. Think a little out side the box please.

[Colino]

I will only trade in my Serpent Soldier stuff once we can buy the Serpent Marshal's gear... His coat is way too fly.

[Mitty_Tsuyoi]

please oh please let me npc my old Grand Company Gears, im like a pack rat buying alot of stuff in the GC counter after the last promotion, i need to get rid of it somehow besides dropping it >.>

Personally I don't see what all the fuss is. I had bought a Serpent Sergeant's Bow before the 1.22c update because, well, it was the best bow I could get at the time considering Ifrit's stinginess, Garuda's toughness and noone doing Good King Moggle Mog's NMs when I'm on. Now that we have the Serpent Lieutenant gear I really want that new bow. But I already have the Sergeant bow. This isn't a matter of trading in a spear to get an ax, this is two bows with one clearly better than the other. I'm not a hoarder because, until 2.0 arrives, we still only have 200 inventory slots and I can't seem to get it under 100 anymore for all the items I'm carrying for the jobs I have leveled.

I'd like to do something with this Sergeant's Bow when I get my Lieutenant's Bow but tossing it is not a reasonable option at all. Is it really so unreasonable to want that? I spent 6150 or so seals on the thing, I'd be getting back chump change in return. Reminds me of Gamestop, really. There are still lower tier items I want but I'm sure Square's going to release stuff in the future that, again, eclipses it making people wonder what they'll do with the old company gear now that it's obsolete and wasting space. And no, I don't have a Lieutenant's Bow yet cause I'm not making seals hand-over-fist. Took me days just to get the seals to make Lieutenant and that was including seals that I had been saving prior to buy a Sergeant's Tabard and Choker, items I still don't have yet.

I'd say it's worth looking into. Thus, I support the OP.

Oh hey it's my thread again.

I'm hoping this happens in 1.23, though it's less of a HUGE GAME-RUINING CONCERN™ now that caravans give more seals.

I have my final promotion and various pieces of highest rank GC gear already but I just bought the 4 pieces of Soldier gear to get an achievement. Sadly, it looks like I'll have to just toss those Soldier items out now because 4 slots of worthless items is expensive... I know they only cost 1k seals each and anyone doing the foundation day event can make that in a minute but still. It's so depressing to just throw something into the gutter...

I don't even care if I get anything back for them, I just want their last moment to serve some sort of purpose. Even if we just donate them to hamlet without any sort of reward; just being told that good homes will be found for those pieces of gear is still so much better than tossing them into the abyss. I'm a hoarder by nature so in my mind everything has a purpose and a place!

It's been a long time since this was commented on by the devs so I just wanted to make sure they were still keeping it in mind, at least for 2.0 if they can't do it before. Sorry for the necro post but it seemed better than making a new thread to repose the suggestion.

[Allistar]

What if removed they untradeable tag from GC gear and allowed us to npc or bazaar the gear or like someone suggested trade them at the hamlet...???

[Veltaine]

i agree actually. when GC first came out, i bought a pair of Gridanian Claws, cuz they were new and cool.. well since then, theyve released many many new better gear.

and i have found a better pair of fists too. but im still stuck with these claws.. Unique, Untradable, cant meld them, cant convert them. i dont wanna toss them because i bought them. but really... what am i supposed to do with them?
