Why is a Chaos worth 2 Fusings?

" I actually question this. I predict the rise of Chaos to be very sticky, for two reasons: 1. Chaos is overpriced as is. Yeah, it's not a common drop and it's really useful in a lot of situations, but still - the fact remains that compared with a lot of other types of currency, you just don't use many Chaos, and you don't need as many. 2. Chaos is overpriced largely due to the already rigid pricing structure. Why is Chaos worth 2 alch? It just is. Why is GCP worth 3 chaos? It just is. A great many of the trade values belong to the category of "pulled out of someone's ass". There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it would take a very serious market shakeup to change this, and, well, there's still a ton of Chaos in circulation regardless of the change in the recipe. Who's gonna be the first to demand 3 fusing for a chaos instead of 2? And who's going to take him seriously? Luna's Blackguards - a guild of bronies - is now recruiting!

It seems no one in here has a clue. The prices are almost entirely dictated by the vendor exchange rates for orbs (See Yeena). Not "pulled out of someone's ass"

This is simply tied to the vendors.
1 Alch = 1 Fusing 4 Chances = 1 scouring = 1 alch Scouring + Alch = Chaos effect. Getting 20 alchemy shards is about the same as getting 8 alteration orbs. The devs could easily add a chaos orb against 2 alchs/2 fusings/1 scour+alch and there won't be any trades anymore. Or the devs could a chance like reroller which I would prefer and change the chaos receipe till level 60. Instead of rerolling rare you get reroll item with random rarity white->unique. |

The real reason why chaos are worth two fusings is because a chaos is worth two alchemy orbs, and a fusing is worth an alchemy, and they have similar drop rates (aswell as demand).
A chaos is worth two alchemy orbs just because a scouring is also worth an alchemy orb, and an alchemy + a scouring do the exact same thing as a chaos orb. IGN: xOkiesmokiex or _Okiesmokie

" Last I checked, vendors didn't offer GCP, Divine, or Exalted. There is no regulation on those prices, and those are what I was talking about.

Vendor prices are very different regarding alch - fusing.
Using purely vendor exchange: Fusing = Chance 4 x Chance = Scouring 2 x Scouring = Regret Regret = Alchemy This would mean 8 Fusings for 1 Alchemy and if alch + scour = chaos then vendor exchange dictates 12 fusings are worth one chaos. So yes the player prices are somewhat "pulled out of someone's ass". Tin foil hats are a lie propagated by the aluminium industry.
