    Any chance we can get an Ethereal exchange merchant? The drops are so freaking rare was wondering if you can install a merchant that can exchange Ethereals

    Rather they put the ethereals in loot boxes like they used to be. Trade no trade whatever. Much better then one drops, need then /q that happens all day on the main servers. Kind of puts a damper on the pugging now a days.

    This issue can be resolved through further gameplay. (tm)

    Can we please make this happen? Getting stuck with an ethereal you can't even give away (channeler bow) really sucks if you don't even have the class.

    You on freeport? I will take the bow off your hands haha.

    Honestly though, the way the ethereals are handled is pretty bad and there definitely needs to be something to make it a little less agonizing.

    I'd chime in for putting the ethereals where they belong (in quest crates after missions), also could we have some 20k etyma clickie items put in? Racked up a scary amount during the 2 weeks I cared about tryin to get an ethereal weapon. I still make use of that ToV clickie hat every day, the 3 hour buff is nice to have.

    There is an Ethereal exchange merchant currently. It's called the broker.

    AB is the only server with a high enough population to make the Broker a viable way to exchange ethereals and get what you want.

    I currently have a priest Ethereal on Guk I've been trying to trade for 2 weeks with no success. We got it in a guild group with me on my alt healer because no one else was around. Rather then wasting it on my alt we decided to try and trade it for a scout or mage ethereal so someone in the groups main could get one. If I had the DBC for two transfer tokens I'd go to AB to make a trade but I don't and I'm not spending real life cash for it.

    Hell I'd drop plat to get some transfer tokens but they can't be gifted (what I was told) and no one ever sells DBC cards for plat anymore. I wish they'd add the transfer tokens to the loyalty merchant. Then I'd have something to spend my 500+ loyalty tokens on.

    Bump.

    Like Cryctonn said, can we pretty please get some method of exchanging out ethereals? I've been trying for 2 weeks now to trade the channeler bow for any other ethereal, with no success.

    I do hope you're not trying to get current Ethereals from ToV zones. cause they won't drop there. they only drop in the AoM/Rum Cellar/EoF fabled zones.

    No worries, I'm not -))

    Ethereals affect such a small percentage of the population it would be a waste of dev resources to bother. It would be much better to stop putting ethereals in the game at all.

    Talking about it here won't do much. I went ahead and created a DBG Issue Tracker Ticket for this (Ticket EQII-137). If you want this considered, go upvote the issue. You can also comment there.

    i know everyone's tired of hearing it but these are supposed to be rare, and special, and get our mouths watering for the next campaign release. an exchange merchant would make them a bit less unique imo. on top of that it would give every person a reason to "need" on them.
