Because exalt orbs are too rare? Chaos orbs may not be perfect as a standard for trade but it seems to be the best have?

That's the whole point of a standard. It has to be rare. Gold was used as a standard for centuries.

Because its the most important currency in any league. Most used as well.

Circular reasoning gets a circular score. That's what a standard is... not why it's a standard.

Gold was a standard but they also had silver for less valuable trades. The vast majority of items I buy and sell are a fraction of an exalt. If there was a way to convert an exalt into fragments then maybe but that would still be expensive for many things. Perhaps fusings?

Exalted down to 85c now and declining still.

it will always fluctuate. going up/down by 30c worth though is pretty nuts. oh well what can ya do

85:1

~55c now, is the sky falling now it's swinging the other way?
