Enable Shadow Gear Switch to Shadow Gears made by Special Instance Coin

Description:
Let us switch shadow gears made from Special Instance Coins (SIC). Same system as blue shadows. You can increase requirement of Shadow Exchange Tickets for swap if you’d like.

Why is this a good idea?
These are very expensive to create and somewhat difficult to resell. So, it makes you dump unused shadows to storage instead and let it gather dust.

What risks or downsides does it have?
No downside because the price of SIC is not affected by the shadow gears themselves.

Additional Info:
None.

Why not allow us to swap Neb armors or HoL garms too? No thanks. Its supposed to be hard to obtain these. If you wish to switch shadow gear, sell your old and make new or obtain the necessary components to make another set.

@KaptainPickles what

Does this include the skill specific shadows? Or just limited to the master shadow series? Cause if it’s the latter it make sense since sometimes you just want to swap the slots like how the blue shadow gear was. But for the skill shadow, not so much.

I guess it wouldn’t make sense for skill specific since it’s just 2 pieces.

Level up one gear, want to switch classes so just swap shadow gears? noty. Aside from it being too simple to acquire new gear, the market for these gears would vanish, forcing people to craft and there are plenty of people that don’t like to craft.

TBH - They are not that difficult to make. I have several sets of skill, master, and “extended” master or whatever you want to call Bow Master, etc.

That all aside, we’ve had similar suggestion to allow swapping of other items, like costume stones, tdrc, etc. These have not been implemented. For example:

@KaptainPickles It’s not that major that it will disrupt the market. It has precedence with the blue shadow gears. I myself have switched them before out of necessity. It is helpful it you want to use a master shadow set with the same 2 slot of the skill shadow set that you have. It’s not like SIC is going to be irrelevant.

Also, no one is forcing you to use a QoL if you dislike it. I have some of feature that has been added that I don’t like and I just don’t use it. It’s that simple.

@Akin Its not a QoL though. And I already stated, we already have a precedence for not doing this. The only item I can think of we allow swaps like this is blue SG, and Im pretty sure thats not really necessary anymore either. Making Shadow Gear used to be much more complicated and confusing.

Change to the same set eg bow master pendant to bow master armor = +1

Change to another set eg bow master to spell master = no

Change skill sets = no

I think if it’s limited that way (and there’s a fee for switching like 30m per item) then it’s ok

+1, some of the Advance skill shadow gear from different class uses armor / shoe and some pendant / earrings. Its nice if we can change the special master shadow gear like bow master / sword master / fatal master from armor > shoe > pendant > earring like Blue SG.

@telu master pendant/earring and armor/shoes are not same cost like blue SG.

Pendant/earring only need 3 pieces of 7 stars stones while armor/shadow need 6

@danieltran88 I am not talking about those ones. Regular master items aren’t interchangeable, you require all 6 to get a set effect.

Sword/Bow/etc master items work by pair and both sets (pendant/necklace and armor/shoes) have the same cost and the same effect, you only need 2 to get an effect.

@telu You make bow master armor/shoes and pendant/earrings don’t need same cost.

For Bow Master Armor you need Ancient Language Document + Master Shadow Armor that requires 6 pieces of 7 stars stone to make.

For Bow Master Pendant you need Ancient Language Document + Master Shadow Pendant that only requires 3 pieces of 7 stars stones to make.

Change to the same set eg bow master pendant to bow master armor = +1

Oh I see you’re right my bad. Well then my proposition will only work if the cost in 7 star stones is unified across master shadow items

@danieltran88 Hmm, I never noticed that. Unless the mats required aren’t uniformed for each piece it won’t be fair to exchange them.
