Guild FP exchange threads

[DeletedUser38468]

I am currently at the end of the HMA and don't want to level up yet. I'm trying to get more supplies, GB's etc. So most of my FP's have been used in Guild Exchange threads. So many of the posts there are the Arc, which I have no chance of building at my current level. Am I allowed to go up several posts and donate my FP's to someone with a GB that I will be able to build? That way when they level up I will get a blueprint that I can actually use.

No, you are not. Those threads only work if you donate to the last GB listed before yours. Doing what you suggest is going to lead to issues that would undoubtedly end up with you being kicked from the guild. You could request that guild leadership make an FP swap/exchange thread that specifically prohibits Arcs from being listed there.

There's no reason you can't build an Arc in HMA. Donate to the Arcs in the threads and focus on just getting 4th or 5th place. Once you've gathered a complete set of prints, ask in your guild where you can buy the goods needed to build it for FPs. Once you have the goods, you can build. The same is true of any advanced age GB. Chase prints, buy goods, build.

Okay, thanks for the info!

I didn't know that. Thanks so much. I didn't know how I would ever get the goods to build it! Good to know.

Every world has goods vendors, players who produce excess goods to sell for FPs. Start asking in guild, get a couple of names, compare prices, and buy from who you trust. The vendor will be able to walk you through the specifics.

In a nutshell, you'll agree on a price, you'll donate that amount of FPs to one of their GBs, then set up trades of your lower age goods (BA or IA) for the upper age goods you paid for with your donation to their GB. If you also score a reward spot on the GB you donate to, you'll get a rebate when it levels, plus medals and BPs.

We had this happen by several different people who seemed astonished that they couldn't just pick a GB from the list. (How the swaps work had been explained to them previously.) They became very argumentative on the point and were "escorted" out the door.

I can recommend sellers with whom I've dealt and are very fair in C, D & Z. If you're in any of those worlds, send a pm to me in the game and I can relay the info.
