Maybe the worst change in the history of POE ?

What do you reckon exalts will be used for? I'd be surprised if they even go for as much as 20c. There's literally no use for them now besides slamming items, and even for those I'd much rather use a conqueror's exalted vs the regular one.

Jewel crafts, slamming mid-value items, and just as a currency - which is what most of them are used for anyways.

The high-end market is not the only economy running in PoE. That's the great fallacy too many people here subscribe to.

Most of the players are not running around in mirror gear. There is a big market in the 70c-7ex range, and in that zone, you can slam a regular old exalt to fill a slot and not feel like you wrecked an item.

I expect they will stabilize around 80c in value.

If you don't make lots of exalts, you can't really miss what you never had.

The worst part is how little excitement we'll have on dropping an Exalted Orb compared to past leagues. Same chance as a Divine Orb, but no use in high-end crafting with small trade value accordingly - really a tragedy. The Exalted Orb art looks much better, too, and iconic.

As I said from the beginning, exalted orbs are a crafting material and divine orbs are a reroll material. It absolutly would make sense to leave the metacraft at exalts and this way both currencys would be fine, and app. worth the same from now on.

Another solution would be to let the 6-link recipe for divine orbs in the game, because now after getting rid of all the beyond unique mobs, it will be way harder to get all the corrupted 6-links we are used to. I know there are still many 6-link div cards and the temple possibility to farming 6-links, but I rly think that would be ok and a possible solution to make divine orbs worth a lot.

The problem with the 6-link recipe and why GGG is making this change is POE 2 and the future of the game. There will be NO FUSINGS in POE 2 and no more "LINKING of ITEMS". Because of that, they start to make both (fusings and 6-links) relativly worthless, so the change will be easier for all of us. But IMHO they dont have to change that in one step (like they do now).

So for now there are 2 rly good solutions for them .......

1. Let the 6-link recipe be divine, because we lost probably 50% of 6-links with the beyond changes to scourge monsters - no more unique mobs - only 1, the boss.

2. Let the metacraft stay at exalts, because the supply of divine orbs will be so low, but we all have big demand for them, so the price will go up the same, and it will be fine, too.

Divine orbs are much rarer then exalts and have much more uses, timeless juwels, fixing ventors gamble, ashes of the stars, mirror items that one of perfect and much more. exalts meta craft (old), slams but 99% doesnt slam anything because its almost useless 1% chance to hit something good. Droprate/div cards: Divines 1card + drop. Exalts drop + shards + 5 div cards, very bad comparison to divines of the "rarity". better to say exalts are for crafting and divines are the support/fix currency.

REMINDER !!

Like I told you at the start of this league, the worst change in the history of POE is going like I thought.

After 12 hours in the new league, exalts normaly were arround 30-40c at max.
Now exalts are at 10c, and Divine Orbs are not at 30-40c, they allready are at 100c, and that 12 hours in the league.

All will get worse then some of us feared, because GGG decided to DELETE the lucky divine orb from Harvest crafting. That means we are not able to divine orb our crafted rare items with harvest - we need Divine Orbs for that, too.

Because of that change, I rly think the price for divine orbs will skyrocket to not only 200c, but more like 300c - be aware !

If you think exalts are going to be 10c you are completely delusional. Exalts are still very valuable and rare. Maybe they'll go down to ~80-100c, but I'm not even sure. Divines will probably be around that price too I think.

We are back to stone age. The league players havent realized yet how shit this patch feels in endgame. Give em a few days they will swarm reddit soon enough.

The removal of jewel implicits is a very negative impact on melee builds that could not get stun immune anywhere else.

And the worst change in POE history is now the removed ultrawide monitor support. It just keeps getting better.
