Commemorative Coin

[Relic]

This is kind of backward but related to at least U.S. Navy tradition. i would keep it personally, like my military script from FFXI. though i might see if i could trade it to a NPC Chief or any NCO or enlisted NPC who salutes you.

Tradition is that all new officers are given or must acquire a silver dollar. You give the silver dollar to the first person who salutes you after receiving your commission. My ROTC MCPO had quite a collection of them, being as he was CMC for our NTC.

rotc, mcpo, cmc, ntc.... Why do military people abbreviate everything like this? The rest of us have no idea what you're saying T_T

Please forgive me. Reserve Officer Training Corps, Master Chief Petty Officer, Command Master Chief, Naval Training Center, HospitalMan Chief Master.

and a Command Master Chief is the head Non-Commissioned Officer of a particular ship or station.
the CMC, having trained you to be an officer, would be at your commissioning and would often be the first person to salute you, as you would now outrank him.

Any chance of some Dev input on this?

[Doho]

i'd rather they keep this a secret to be honest

I personally would like to know from the devs whether this will have a use in the future or if we can just trade it in without worrying. ^^

What is one coin going to do? Buy you a new house?

If that is the case, good mind game SE.

A dev response would be optimal, I agree. I don't need to be told everything but let's face it: I don't trust that the only options I have are to either:

• Keep it solely for sentimental value and forego taking advantage of its only potential
• Sell it shamelessly on the black market like that isn't completely disrespectful

I'd rather be told:

"If you held onto it... you might be glad you did someday. Just sayin'."
OR
"We will never do anything with that coin,you have nothing to lose by exchanging it."

What is one coin going to do? Buy you a new house?

I'm. so. glad. you. asked.

• We know that player/company housing is coming, right?
• Like FFXI housing, it will likely include furnishings, yes?
• Did you not have flags, certificates, signage, etc. on your walls?

Maybe you'd to frame your coin with some certification and put that on the wall?

I hear they do that with military coinage sometimes...
army.net

You had tables in FFXI, didn't you? Maybe you'd like your coin on that table.

BOOM.
That was the sound of someone trying to beat their coin back out of a qiqirn.
OR YOUR MIND BLOWING.
I'm not sure.

There could be a side-quest in post-housing 2.0 where players (who did not dishonor their company by illegally trading their memento of the day we restored the Eorzean Alliance to low-life qiqirn like common jinglyshine) could trade their well-protected coin to an NPC craftsman in our company command... who would see it framed proper for display in our future home; like people with honor.

EDIT: To be honest, I rather like the wall ornament idea. If this coin was never intended for anything else, I say we petition for this. Who's with me?! Who doesn't wanna soil their good name!?
