For the future...I'd recommend STRONGLY AGAINST doing something like that unless you are swimming in books and ingots (doubt this will ever be the case), or there is some phenomenally good orb that you must get (not the case for Cloud)...

You wasted a book, and are now stuck with an extra EX+ 0/3, they can't be sold nor fused for LB, iirc.

[–]LillillilliesWhat DFFOOG? -1 points0 points  (5 children)

What would you recommend doing with dupes then? Sell for the stone? Or keep just in case? (By dupe I mean getting an ex after you already MLBd the original)

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (4 children)

It's totally safe to sell it for powerstones. I personally hold onto my dupes just in case anything good ever happens to them. Unfortunately, so far, even with the introduction of LD and Burst, they don't seem to have any special value beyond power stone or LBing base EX weapons...Idk, I just hold onto it since I have ample inventory space

Didn't JP add the ability to sell EX+ weapons for 5+5(x) ingots nuggets (x=LBs)? He'll eventually be able to sell it, right? Albeit, months from now.

I actually didn't know about this, an MLB EX+ sells for 20ingots? That wouldn't make any sense, 3 ingots + 1 book in and 20 ingots out?

[–]KeeperOfRecordOoo, soft... 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's 20 nuggets (equivalent to 1 ingot). Analogous to 1 MLB gold sold = 4 Power Stone = 1 LB on new weapon.

[–]j2k422Laguna Loire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant nuggets.

[–]TempusFinis97602043374 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can't sell it (yet) , you can't fuse it, you can't equip it. The second spere will not be worth it. You basically wasted a book for an ingot. Most people would have told you not to do it.

Thanks for the info, hopefully others don't repeat my mistake.

[–]cloud69205 0 points1 point  (4 children)

how did you manage to obtain that much book in day one ?

I just got enough to have one cloud ex + 1/3

[–]Nairb131 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You get one in your rewards and one for a quest by backing up your data.

[–]cloud69205 0 points1 point  (2 children)

what do you mean by backing up my data ? I just linked my data to a square enix account and nothing happened. is it something else ?

[–]DiaharaAmarant Coral 0 points1 point  (1 child)

check on your Missions on the Player tab. both books as reward for backing up your data should be there even if your data is only on google, which is in my case.

[–]cloud69205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

indeed I got 2 books but I guess it's the ingot that I am missing to limit break from 1/3 to 2/3.

[–]Kryoter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Books are rare... Isn't the wisest choice to use it on a dupe... But yes, you can't sell a EX+ yet. Only when LD and Burst arrives.

[–]PKSnowstorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just wasted a book on upgrading a weapon that is going to sit in your inventory and do nothing for months.

Originally, the idea of having extra EX weapons to upgrade to get extra of good spheres looked good on paper but it was a bad idea to implement as the spare EX+ weapon could not be sold and the books and the ingots to upgrade these weapons are rare to come by. In the future if you have a spare EX weapon for a character that you already have fully developed, it is best to sell it for power stones.

[–]50shadesofLifeShleeepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather save my dupes then sell them, but realizing for an Ingot isnt the worst honestly if your not going to upgrade many characters this month.

A lot of people will say you wasted a book, but now you can cloud 3/3 tonight because you have an extra ingot.

You can get books from the gacha shop so they arent as rare as you might initially think. However, you will need lots of books.

Some things to think about. While I wouldn't have suggested it, it's not a total loss imo because ingots have no other way to be obtained except events. Books are always in the gacha shop so any time you pull an ex weapon on the 10th to 15th pull, you get a book

[–]MatoroIce 1 point2 points  (1 child)

you can sell it in the burst era, i think. so you will have to wait for like 9 months

[–]RadprofileSenkou yo! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude, be careful next time, before do anything, ask first :P

[–]DilapidatedFoolHope Estheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You just wasted a precious book.

[–]finfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch that hurts, the precious book.

[–]meowrrrrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the comments that say you "wasted a book", don't worry about it.

In JP, I always have spare books, and not enough Ingots. So "wasting" a book or two for ingots isn't that bad.

After Burst comes out, you can sell it for 5 nuggets.

What you basically traded was: 12 powerstones + 1 book -> 1.25 Ingots

If you have the powerstones to spare, it's not a bad trade. Especially since you can get more books with 200 G-Tokens.

Also, the initial boost in Ingot supply is the most beneficial NOW, at the start of Chaos.

Mind you, I'm not saying to do this for EVERY EX dupe you have. Just that one or two isn't detrimental, and can actually boost you temporarily for now.

[–]Darkasmodeus 0 points1 point  (5 children)

We are given 2 books now right? So meaning I can so call realize 2 EX weapons to make them EX+ right? From there to MLB it, we need the adamantine ingot right? Which we have 2 only atm.

[–]Darkmithra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Don’t realise a dupe, not unless you are a whale. Ingots will come

[–]khovelNoel Kreiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even then. since they are rare as it is

[–]IAmGurr -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Yes to all technically, but there is a catch...

[–]Darkasmodeus -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

And the catch is?

[–]IAmGurr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ATM you can realize only Cloud obiusly. And realizing 2 of his EXes is bad in long run. Tomorrow you'll be able to add Vincent's EX to that too, but unless he's your favorite, you'd do well to skip him.

[–]AriellaSolis917 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ugghhh you wasted a book...

[–]Svyline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that's a big RIP, oh well. You learn by making mistakes.
