* Once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for a rare/ex item of your choice.
*There will be different types of tickets for different items and you will need to collect the respective ticket for the item you would like.
*The required number of tickets is still being looked into and there is a possibility of change, but currently we estimate it to be about 5~6.

I dont think plates/pouches/rift's will be available...but you can atleast sell your mekira ticket for a couple mil and get some plates with said gil?

Well, yeah. I only meant that if you sell the VW stuff, including plates, that you wouldn't lose much money at all by buying void dust. Obviously you don't want to spend gil if you're aiming for something expensive.

Spamming VW shouldn't really set you back anything at 100k a run, but you aren't going to profit much either.

I guess what I mean is, whether this line means aces mail tickets or uptala tickets. Uptala tickets would be the logical and preferred route, with different values for an items #tickets and the #tickets to buy the item...but the other way is okay too...price to buy can get extreme quick though.

The "Exchange them for an item of your choice" doesn't make much sense if it's "ace's mail tickets" rather than "Uptala" tickets.

Not really any "choice" if every ticket goes to only one item.

**NynJa** · 2012-02-01 14:43

Well SE said that they're considering 5-6 tickets to trade in...Get 6 Qilin tickets from Gorget/Boots, trade in for Coruscanti? I dont see that making sense lol

**arus2001** · 2012-02-01 14:50

I'm looking at it similar to the Forgotten items from Dynamis, and to use a body piece again, a wasted body becomes a body ticket that can then only be spent on body ticket items. As a result, it's not so much NM specific as it would be equipment slot specific. There'd probably be some liberties with accessories and lumping earrings/rings/neck/waist/back together, too. All weapons/ranged would probably be their own category as well.

I wouldn't rule out an added purchase restriction requiring someone to have the given abyssite+ for the encounter. Or in true SE dick move, it eats your abyssite quality.

I dunno. If it were like 10 tickets for the corus, I could see it. I think the boots are "only" about 10-20 times more common.

Alternately, they might really just let you turn in 6 gorgets for 1 Corus as a way of boosting drop rates without having to actually boost drop rates like they said they would.

Just like the tickets are supposedly sellable despite SE saying they weren't going to let you put items in the pool to potentially sell or whatever.

Who knows. Regardless, it's better than it was before.

**Karbuncle** · 2012-02-01 14:52

Those Gorgets/Boots are still pretty uncommon.

Then again, They may make it tiered, they said this is their current "Thought". For all we know, in the future, it could be something like, For Qilin...

1 Ticket - Heavy Metal Plate
3 Ticket - Houyi's Gorget
5 Ticket - Fajin Boots
7 Tickets - Lux Pugio
9 Tickets - Heavy Metal Pouch
12 Tickets - Coruscanti

**pancakesandsex** · 2012-02-01 14:53

Since it sounds like they want to tier them somehow, I would be somewhat satisfied if they implemented the tickets based on "leg" of voidwatch. Sandy, Windy, Bastok, Jueno, Jueno II, Zilart, each having their own "type" but only one per leg. Something like that or something similarly broad in scope.

**Mairja** · 2012-02-01 14:57

The way I understand it, the tickets will be item-specific meaning you need 5-6 of the same tickets (say Fajin Boots tickets) to trade for another ra/ex Qilin drop. If that's correct, I probably could have had 3 Coruscantis already, lol.

Only snag I see with that is people spamming easy shit to buy the items from the not-so-easy shit.

**Colenzo** · 2012-02-01 14:59

Man, kind of wish I just deactivated my account if and waited a couple of months to do all this shit now that I wasted all my stones getting a mekira body... ~.~ if 5/6 is the going rate for bodies anyways...

If the system only applies to R/EX items and nothing else.....

**Radec** · 2012-02-01 15:19

As much as I wish for the above, it sounds like:

You have a Mekira
Mekira would drop to you, but you have it
Get 1 Mekira Ticket to give to friends/sell (Edit: to be clear, it's specifically a mekira ticket, and not useful for phasmida belt/mantis eye)

As a way to deal with "q.q my 6th mekira why can't I trade" - also gives people with all the items, but coming to help out friends/LS, a reason to use stones/trade cells.

Edit2: Specifically:

mmmm, This sounds about right, THANK FOR KILLING MY DREAMS EARLY MAN

**NynJa** · 2012-02-01 15:31

Thats what I think it'll be also, but this line throws it off:
* Once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for a rare/ex item of your choice.

Unless that was mistranslated from JP to EN, why would trading in 5-6 tickets give us a choice of which r/e item to pick? Wouldnt the proper wording be "once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for that rare/ex item"?

Like me! lol
Haven't used a single stone, yet they've been stacking for half a year? If SE finally stops being stupid with the relic trial and implements this change to VW I could see myself giving VW a whirl. I should add I was thinking the same thing before SE ninja fucked stage 1 of the relic trial, so I'm fully expecting a ninja fuck on this VW adjustment too.

I kind of assumed it would be Mekira ticket/Athos's tabard ticket, ect as well, but this makes me think it'll be like, Kaggen ticket, Rex ticket, ect.

Hopefully the latter, expecting the former.

DO IT!!!!

**Kaisha** · 2012-02-01 16:54

Hope you can exchange for a ticket regardless of having the item on you, cause fuck wasted inventory trying to get tickets for members that need shit.

Can't wait to see how much people start pricing for them also....
