So Ive done the farming, got the 120 bits of gum and got the 10 raeder earpieces.

All good so far - so I swap the male raeder earpieces for female ones (this was before I got the gum) because every other collector you have to swap bits to make sure you get the right gender of item.

So, believing I had to do this - I swap the items for female earpieces and spend a good few days farming the gum in between killing captain raeder to help others get the gear too SMILEY

I come to trade and find I cant.
Why?

Item 9 - SSR Glasses (female) need the 120 sticks of gum but 10 MALE raeder earpieces.
This makes no sense to me at all, it means that male characters can wear their earpieces until they trade, but females have to swap 1 (if they want to wear it) and then cant trade it for the glasses because of the prerequisites.

Maybe Im the first to have this issue - I hope so and I hope this post will stop others having it too SMILEY

Ive submitted a CCR for this to hope that it will get me my glasses SMILEY

P.S To everyone on recursion whos helped me farm gum and earpieces - thanks alot! Will continue to help farm in DM if anyone needs it SMILEY

Not trying to be rude or anything but you could have checked the requirements before beginning to farm them or even before you changed them for the female versions.

What you say about the earpieces and being able to wear them as you collect them is true but it's logical that the Captains drop male versions only. The only thing that the female suffers from this is losing a point of stability in your Datamine book if you want to equip the first one you find, if a male RSI or Female RSI wants the earpiece as well as the glasses they'll both have to farm 11 anyway.

Honestly I think they should have dropped stackable items (possible earpieces) that could be traded in for everything, much like the other quest collectors.

Thats true, I could have looked but unfortunately I didnt because I assumed that the items were like other collector items where you farm them and change them if needed for your gender which then lets you get the right item for your gender.

It is logical that the captains only drop male ones - however I dont think being allowed to swap male for female earpieces and then not being able to either swap them back or trade them for the ssr glasses is right. in that case they should have just not allowed them to be swapped for female earpieces OR they should change item 9 so it needs female earpieces (as do many other collectors).

Ballak: stackable, that would have made this whole process much much easier - why not allow stacks of up to 40? save on inventory and code area space SMILEY

Why not stacks of 100? You just sort of have to draw the line somewhere I guess, and generally 20 is about the stack limit in most MMOs. It's not the stacks that I was trying to point out though, more about the fact they should have dropped neutral items which in turn could have been turned in to female/male earpieces and then into glasses, and so on when it was needed.

Yes, it seems like having them drop a Prop Earpiece each that are used to make the trades, or used to get a Clothing Earpiece of either gender.
