Suggestions/Comments: Do not change anything about the system fundamentally. Rather, add Theiah's Orb as a cheap but gated (weekly limits) redeemable on several currencies. Specific suggestions include:

[Season] Seal of Journey * 5 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Plump Coelacanth * 10 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, weekly exchange, limit 3

Golden Seal - [Imperial Cuisine] * 500 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Golden Seal - [Imperial Alchemy] * 500 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Golden Seal - [Imperial Fishing] * 500 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Golden Seal - [Imperial Training] * 50 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Seal of Solare * 20 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, weekly exchange, limit 3

Seal of the Undying * 10 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, weekly exchange, limit 3

Dark Spirit's Greed * 10 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

Atanis' Element * 20 = 1 * Theiah's Orb, regular exchange, no limit

All of these exchanges have a very high value relative to most of their other exchanges. This is intentional. This system will keep people gambling to perfect their fairy for months or even years depending on how many of these exchanges they use, while it should allow new players to get their fairy started quickly.
