Currency Exchange
The Currency Exchange tool helps you convert non-tradable currencies (like Grand Company Seals, Scrips, or Tomestones) into Gil by identifying the most profitable items to purchase and sell on the market board.
How to Use
- Access the Tool: Navigate to the Currency Exchange from the Apps menu.
- Select Currency: Browse or search for the currency you want to spend (e.g., “Storm Seal”, “White Scrip”).
- Input Amount: Enter the amount of currency you have available.
- Analyze Results: The tool will list items you can buy with that currency, sorted by potential profit.
Understanding the Results
The results table shows potential trades:
- Shops: Where you can buy the item.
- Cost: The currency cost per item.
- Item: The item you receive.
- Price/item: The estimated market board price per item.
- Qty recv: How many items you can buy with your total currency.
- Profit: The total estimated profit (Price/item * Quantity).
- Hours/sale: A metric indicating how fast the item sells. Lower numbers mean faster sales.
Tips
- Check Sales Velocity: High profit doesn’t mean much if the item takes months to sell. Look for items with a low “Hours/sale” value.
- Diversify: Instead of spending all your currency on one item that might flood the market, consider buying a mix of profitable items.
