The recent currency drop buff was a mistake...
Not really sure why anyone would think that Exalts should be the main trading currency anyway. They have a much higher drop rate, as they should have since they would be used for Gear and Map mod additions.
Chaos is ideal trading medium. Rare and useful enough to maintain value versus Divines, but somewhat common enough to be used as a stable trading medium. If you are concerned about the trading market. No one is ever priced out of the market. Most people just don't bother looking at what has value. I jumped on yesterday and noticed the Ex:Div ratio was much higher than when i played on the first week of release. I wanted a couple div to buy a few items, so i looked at the Currency Exchange and saw that just about everything relative to Exalts went up. Ok, so the 15 chaos i still had on me was almost a div, Annulents, Runes et.. All were worth significantly more than before, relative to exalts. Noticing Arbiter fragments were worth ~1.75 divs each i just rushed maps to citadels and ran them with no mods to guarantee a completion (my build was in a bad state when i last played). I hit a Citadel and when i ran out of visible ones, i rushed into the fog in areas where there is no Red Fog (new Corrupted Nexus visibility i guess). Hit towers along the way, and more citadels appear. Rinse and repeat for easy currency. About 10-15 maps per citadel found, at under 2mins per map (rushing rares) and you're easily getting 4-5divs per hour to build up your character to do it faster, or move onto something else. |
