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

  1. Access the Tool: Navigate to the Currency Exchange from the Apps menu.
  2. Select Currency: Browse or search for the currency you want to spend (e.g., “Storm Seal”, “White Scrip”).
  3. Input Amount: Enter the amount of currency you have available.
  4. 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.
