Suggestion: Capped Tomestone Conversion Rewards

[Raim]

A simple mechanical suggestion for content that rewards Tomestones. As you know, each patch you have a capped and an uncapped Tomestone currency. I am suggesting that when you are maxed out on the capped Tomestone, that amount provided to you converts into the uncapped Tomestone. For example, you are at 450/450 Causality this week but do a roulette that provides 40 Causality, that overflow would instead provide 40 Astronomy. This would further encourage players to do Tomestone rewarding content even after capping.

I really like the idea because, in my case, I tend to cap and not spend my tomestones for a reason or another (mostly for laziness or disinterest for the rewards).

On the other hand, there is people who plays a lot less then me and who goes after that gear I ignore.

In general, I agree that the Tomestones system could be better.

Piggybacking off of this:

Would be nice if Nuts coverted into Centurio or Allied seals as well.

But yes would be nice to have capped tomes go into uncapped, especially for uncapped farming towards end of the patch if you're a crafter.

I'm not convinced that it would be much incentive, given that anything that rewards Causality tomes also already rewards Astronomy. If people aren't already running content to get those tomes currently available, why would the extra amount make them do it?

[Atelier-Bagur]

It be nice if it did that yeah.

Lots of MB reasons Crafting Desynths.., lots of options.

I didn't ask what people are spending astronomy on. My question is, if they already want astronomy, they will already be doing content that gives them astronomy. So what "further encouragement" would be provided by getting more of it from the same number of duties?

As I see it, there are currently two scenarios:

1. People care about earning astronomy and are already running content to earn it, even if they are capped on causality tomes. Because they are already doing it, they do not need additional encouragement.

2. People do not care about earning astronomy, only causality, and offering more of the unwanted currency will not motivate them.

Converting currency rewards on the fly doesn't sound all that simple. It's not something that's done anywhere in the game. You get something or you don't.

If you're tired of seeing the "you can't receive" message, just filter it out.

[GTK0HLK]

They've technically have done Currency Conversions since long ago..,
usually at the end of an Expansion. to Poetics.

they already have the mathematics to convert to poetics they can easily do it for the midterm tomes easily.

as for the reasons Iscah put..,
yes what they spend them on is a reason why.

You've stated sources, not reasons why people want more or their own needs.
<putting it lightly it's kinda using something not exact to disprove something>

it's to give use to something for those that want it.

if one doesn't want them, they won't convert them. if one doesn't want Causality they'll convert.

There is no negative to the addition.
for something that has already existed in the direction it always has<heading downward. if it was heading upward, which is another topic. I'd agree it'd be very debatable->unlikely>
But like uncapped weeklies or Gearing asks. there is no reason to not have it.

the simplification of the topic, that is largely subjective to each players needs, is not very reasonable.

this is largely a QoL. that SE has done in the past, but not to the Mid Tier tomes.<but like said, usually from High end tomes->Poetics>

Edit:
Ps. Reminds me, I don't know they exact maths of how they determine to give a certain amount of poetics, for a certain type of tombstone. Though I am curious whether the difference between a mid tier and a high tier tome pays different poetics. if you're worried about balance. if a midtier tome pays out less poetics then that would solve that potential point. but again I'm not sure if there is much a difference in High end tome -> poetic conversion we see at the end of a tier/Expac

I agree it isn't much of a motivator since Astronomy is generally already given in content that gives Causality. I feel the suggestion is more about not wanting to "waste" the rewards that are capped, for people who are still doing the content maybe for fun?

I actually don't do any content that awards only capped tomestones while not also rewarding uncapped tomestones. But then again I am very casual and there are big parts of the game I don't even touch.
