Dev Tracker - Discussion

It's at the bottom of the update notes in the "Item-Related" table.

"Make certain items obtained from Sortie sellable"

Which in itself is already a 100% confirmation that it's just gonna be gil for the stones and not a small amount of gally.

15 years later, they've fixed this.

Was always infuriating targeting between the ???, box, and NM.

Anybody checked how much do Starstones and Sapphires sell for?
5k? 10k?

Hmm if I were the devs I would make a big announcement that starstones/sapphires are npc'able, then after most of the community has disposed of their existing excess stock of these items after a few months, I'd make them tradable for gallimaufry and remove the EX tag. That would be interesting

sapphires 962gil, starstones 1540gil. big sad

edit - checked ruspix just in case, nothing new there. enjoy your extra inventory y'all

In hindsight there's so many things they could've done with stones.

Trade 5 or even 10 of them to upgrade a +1>+2 or +2>+3 Empy as an alternate route to Galli one.

Trade a specific number of them and an earring to reroll its augments.

Trade one of them and 10 earrings of any type but same quality to pick an earring of your choice of the same quality.

Trade one of them and 10 earrings of the same type to upgrade that earring to a higher level of quality (NQ>+1 and +1>+2).


Just throwing out very simple ideas that could need some balancing in its variables/numbers, but would still offer solid control to players, but moderate enough that it doesn't entirely kill the grind, it actually offers a much better carrot on a stick.
But noooo, they had to make them sellable for what surely is gonna be absymal numbers.
And despite that, any number is bad really. We don't need any more Gil generating things in this game that already suffers from inflation so bad mostly because of that.
They seemed to have understood that simple concept when they made Sparks conversion weekly, but think again.

I dunno, it's all moot talk given what happened, but it seems to me this would've been a perfectly achievable goal even with their skeleton crew, so the fact that they didn't even bother is terribly irksome to me.

Can confirm. Now buying 1/10,000th of a kclub with a satchel full of sapphires

I keep getting 4001 and 4002 like 10 seconds after logging in.

Not even the expected 5k lol. Terribad.

Worth holding them for the past year, right fellas.

But thats because you have bad fame

Part of me wants to hold them just in case still. Sad

I got rid of all my pulse weapons a couple months before Ambuscade Weapons came out. I have trust issues

We're still holding onto a few pulse bodies too, we won't be hoodwinked twice.

Haha! Who knows but perhaps we need pulse bodies for ambu +3 gear.

It's too obvious, so it won't happen. I still haven't tossed my Crystal Petrifacts on mule either. Player hoarding will never stop

Just wait, Sortie clomper goodness coming in 2025, trade 99 of each stone to get access to +2 boxes for 5000000 potpourri. please look forward to it

that would involve some new content though? The last one was for Delve.

Throw in a Vagary goodness and let me get Tartarus for all my chars. 24 dark matter and 25k pots for a Tartarus? Ill sign for that in blood, my own blood.

This is clever. SE will do it for 10M potpourri.

No no no no. It will be "trade 5 stacks of 99 of each stone" to get access to a +1 box (for 10M potpourri).
