General Discussion - Essence League: Musing the Future Value of Chaos - Forum

" xxSerpentlordxx wrote: If maps become easier to obtain, rolling them becomes less necessary so I believe the value does go down a bit but nothing too dramatic. It is still fun to spam chaos on high tier jewelery. I don't get that. Just becuase maps are easy to obtain doesn't mean people won't roll them? Right now we roll maps for packsize for more map drops...I agree...but with that map drop restriction gone, won't you spam maps for the highest rarity bonus instead on T13 plus? I might be dumb...but my plan was to just focus on rarity if packsize isn't as important.	Posted by Prizy#1622 on Aug 16, 2016, 5:29:28 PM Quote this Post

I don't even chisel them as mid tier maps are easily available. I go for clear speed over anything else. Packsize helps obv. Fk rarity.

Don't most chaos end up modding a map? Essences don't compete with that use.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Aug 16, 2016, 8:57:19 PM Quote this Post

Alch's have long since sufficed, for jewelry, maps etc. I would prefer to Scour and Alch before I spend a chaos. Jewelry I am patient enough to build up the desired type and amount I want to Alch. This is my preferred method though, I can't speak for others. Last edited by TwistedTrip#5344 on Aug 17, 2016, 2:12:15 AM	Posted by TwistedTrip#5344 on Aug 17, 2016, 2:11:52 AM Quote this Post

Guys, WTF are you talking about? Essence will be rare and hard to obtain, it wont be common for craft at all, its just another currency for trade/scam/flip. If it will be very very common (like alchemy orbs) then it could be useful for craft, but you need like 100 Essence to complete max lvl Essence, so it wont be uses as craft material.
