FF: curvades, frags and jades

Seeing that new quests have been implemented in FF, it seems we now have to exchange our curvades and FF related mats with the Martial Arts NPC.

That's all very fine except for a few considerations. Let's see what the Martial Arts NPC says when he makes the trade:

"Order of Prosperity

The God of Prosperity is in the Office!

Recieve (sic) a glorious reward by giving this item (sic) the Martial Arts Master.

Each one of those orders exchanges for 1000 coins"

Ok, so I exchanged 5 curvades for 50 Orders of Prosperity -- and there was no option for the Ming jade.

When I try to exchange my 50 Orders, it becomes impossible, as the minimum exchange is set at 100.

Now, I would like to draw our GM's attention to the fact that doing the FF quests and runs previous to the last update, required lots of resources from us players, including MP & HP charms, equipment and weapons many of which were bought from the Boutique and note that it took many runs in those FF dungeons to even be able to manufacture one single curvade and, all of a sudden, they become worthless pieces of guano because of an update only you can qualify as genial.

Genial indeed, for your pockets, not for our gameplay or wallets.

If I'm missing something, please let me know, otherwise, I can only say it is pretty shameful of you GMs, tricking us so lamely...

b:angry

P.s.: Needless to say I never got 1K coins for any of my orders, they are just worthless pieces of guano...

    Why were 5 curvades removed from my inventory? Other folks had theirs in Safe and didn't lost them. Why should I because I had them on me?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, we cannot recover missing curvades from player inventory. You will no longer have to collect curvades to access squad mode. You may have misplaced or traded the items away to a different character.


    I feel just great......

    After getting the Orders of Prosperity, talk to the Martial Arts Master. He has a quest to trade in the orders for coin.

    Because the squad mode quest was removed, and a feature of quests is, when you trash them they trash the quest items, even if that item happens to be in your normal inventory.

    It's not a big deal anyways really. I only walked away with something like 165k, from the mats to squad flag two people with some random extra stuff. I think I lost coin actually after how long it took to do the exchanges.

    Thanks, I will try that, but I don't remember him having any quests for me at the time I made the curvade exchange. I will try again.

    You think you lost coin? I got nothing after several weeks of farming those mats.

    No 165k, no Orders of Prosperity, nothing.......

    Just 5 empty spaces in my inventory and a note from PWI saying I screwed up....

    yay..............

    I'm with you with the frustration of latest updates, however, GMs have nothing to do with this. GMs don't even know what updates will be released next week.
    This is more to PW project managers + developers + marketing people.

    Sometimes I feel bad to see GMs get blamed for all that they cannot even control. b:sad
