what made the inflation?

last time before i left fusings was around 80s per 1ex but after checking it today its now 250

what made fusings a dog shit value?

What league? It is 180 on sc.

sc, its 250 when buying... god i should have turned in my earnings back before i took a break from the game

still, thats more than doubled than what it used to be

i guess i was a fool thinking that PoEs currency is good solution to inflation because it will always have some sort of value due to it being used for "crafting", compare that to other games that gold is simply just gold and its value goes down the higher the number it gets

i guess i was wrong, it didnt stop it, it just slowed down the inevitable

it feels like im 3 times poorer than i was back then

Pretty much in a new league, as soon as people get vorici lvl'ed enough, fuse value goes down bigtime - not so strange, given the power of the crafting table when compared to the potentials of RNG :)

More people with lvl'ed vorici, less fuse value, extrapolate ad nauseum - it's not much different with jewelers, those just deprecate immediately as the crafting table functions that compete with jewelers are earlier accessible.

yes, but like i said in this game currency has a purpose and this one is for making 6 links

so what gives? everyone already has a six link or what??

Much easier to get 6-links in the game now.

When I started playing with Perandus a year ago, Exalts were 67c. Now they rarely go below 80.

You could buy an exalt for 50 fus back in the day? Like, holy shit.

Yeah I recall saving up for a 6L Voll's Protector back in the day.
I did this by buying alterations and just doing the vorici trade. Every 2 days I could trade for 1 exalt for 40-42 fusings.

Kinda makes me sad now that the chest I spent 30 ex on is now worth 3 ex but I don't think I would ever sell that chest as it holds the memory of grinding away for my first ever 6 link.

IMOthe real reason is the clear speed meta.

originally the accepted play style was to run with a culler picking up chrome items and rare items to make chaos recipes this slowed down mapping a bit and also drove up the supply of things like chaos and chrome orbs


but this drove down the availability of currency you normally get as drops .. like jeweler orbs , regrets , scours , blessed , fuse and ofc exalt.


what changed was the clear speed meta shifted things toward only picking up very specific things.

and what was the number one thing included in that list? 6 socket items. 6 socket items raw currency of a value at or over an alch , the rare good unique and some good craft bases is all you pick up (also maps).


So since 6 socket items are one of the few things left in the game you are supposed to pick up.. the supply of jeweler orbs and by extension fusing orbs has skyrocketed

where as chaos orbs went down and exa remained about the same.

Ironically the clear speed meta has made the chaos recipe a pretty good deterministic way of farming large amounts of fusing orbs ... which means lots of chances to make 6ls.. just because not many high end players bother with even that any more

as for why exa are so expensive now.. id wager because they were undervalued in the past kind of like how blessed orbs are worthless despite being pretty rare.

now with things like the 5 -20% es mod on jewelry being around any ci build worth its salt is going to be using at minimum 3 - 6 just trying to roll a good % es mod on jewelery.. and considering the number of ci builds and the meta.. that is a fuckload of demand for exa
