I found out it was possible to sell the crude savicite jewelry in Kiona's shop for savicite chunks directly, and tried to do it with some other savicite chunks already in my inventory. But doing so will ignore how many chunks you have in your inventory, and you only end up with the number you sold the crude jewelry for. The shop interface says the trade uses -1 inventory slots, so it seems like what it's doing is removing the savicite chunk inventory slot and replacing it with however many new savicite chunks from the trade. I remember the quantities when it happened the first time and tried again a few more times:
- 3 Chunk of Savicite in inventory / 4 Crude Savicite jewelry sold
--- ended with 4 Chunk of Savicite in inventory
- 4 Chunk of Savicite in inventory / 1 Crude Savicite jewelry sold
--- ended with 1 Chunk of Savicite in inventory
- 0 Chunk of Savicite in inventory / 4 Crude Savicite jewelry sold
--- ended with 4 Chunk of Savicite in inventory (just being thorough)
- 0 Chunk of Savicite in inventory (full inventory) / 1 Crude Savicite jewelry sold (still full inventory)
--- Allows the trade to go through, shows drop menu only after leaving Kiona's store (don't know what this implies, but thought it'd be useful to check)
As an aside, is it intentional that Tuuva and Kiona's savicite trading mechanics are different? Tuuva's store requires you to sell savicite from your inventory in the sell tab of her store, while Kiona can just grab the savicite straight from your inventory.
