Scrips

From Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Scrips is a token system for crafting and gathering first introduced in Heavensward. You can earn Scrips by gathering or crafting Collectable Collectables after level 50.

Collectables can be turned in at any Collectable Appraiser. The Scrip Exchange, who sits next to the Collectable Appraiser, will accept your scrips and offer gatherer and crafter gear, Soul of the crafter icon1.png  Soul of the Crafter, Master Recipe Tomes, Tomes of Regional Folklore, gatherer and crafter Materia, and other tokens and crafting materials. Each expansion's appraiser and exchange has to be unlocked separately, and doing so adds that expansion's items to all exchanges.

The most recently retired scrip can be traded up for the next valid one at a 1:1 rate at the Scrip Exchange in Mor Dhona (X:22.4 Y:6.7) only. This is different from how retired Allagan Tomestones work.

Trivia

In real life, Scrip systems, also known as "truck wages" which Rowena's system is an example of, are outlawed in many late-stage capitalist democracies because of their historical use in exploiting vulnerable employees.
