Whats up with the Chromatic : Chaos prices on standard

Usually [removed by support] is pretty accurate. That being said currently it says chromatics are 12:1 chaos on standard. In game though people are selling chromatics at a 5:1 chaos rate saying 200:35 chaos or 1 exalt and so on. I have been trying to buy chromatics at 10-12:1 for 2 days now without a single PM. Only last week I was able to buy at these rates without a problem. Currently I am unable to progress through the game without getting 3-4 off color roles on my infernal mantle (2R 2G 1B or 1R 2G 2B). While I can just play through the game a gather up chromatics here and there I am going to need at least 100 - 200 if I am lucky. It is getting really annoying seeing people demanding absurd prices for chromatics to chaos or exalt when chromatics are much more common to begin with.

It's standard is why.

standard prices dont make sense at all when compared to other leagues.

Sucks to be you :/

Stop using RMT sites with fake currency charts. Go here for real exchange rates: http://exilebro.com/currency/rates/standard/

Chromatic prices are very strange in standard, but have been for about a month. They went down to about 200/ex before rising back up again to about 220/ex. I saw a person get mobbed for selling at 250:1ex.

There are generally 36 chaos to an ex on standard. 220/36 is about 6 chromes/chaos.

The strange rates are likely due to a combination of a lack of chromes due to Vorici crafting, along with an incredibly weak chaos. Chromes have seemed to rise in value since 1.2.

I'd say rather, no prices on any given league should be considered benchmark for another league, because they're often wildly different. That said, sometimes they seem like a ripoff either way... Like people wanting 700 chromes per ex on Torment !

usuful thx

Every one uses poeex.info for their rates, you ask in game and this is the site people always say they use. I already know the exchange rates listed are incorrect as its meant to make the seller a small profit. I refuse to only receive 5-6 chromatics per chaos orb though since you can easily get 5-6 per map run while a chaos orb you are lucky to get 1 outside of using the chaos orb recipe.

(5-6 chroms : chaos is currently what people are asking for on standard)

Apparently that's not true, else you wouldn't've made this thread :)

Chromes have been between 200 and 240 on an ex for quite a while now, more or less since 1.3 atleast (maybe longer, came back after a couple month away). And doing the math with 35 chaos to 1 ex and as mentioned, you get around 6:1.
Currency flippers are the reason alot of people come with the impression chromes to chaos is 8:1 or even 10+:1, since they buy cheap, and then sell them at standard rate.

This spreadsheet is fairly regularly updated and is correct, only for standard tho.
