I listened to Kripp's interview with Chris and he commented on how he doesn't like that people would be referring to a chart that may be outdated - probably referring to my site, --link removed--. I definitely agree with this sentiment. I recently checked my analytics for the site and traffic has increased by over 400% from a month ago! This is kind of cool, but I fear that the chart is eventually going to run its course and people are going to be mad at me. :]

New players are being sent to your site from the trade channel because people are sick of "how much is this worth" questions, but exchange rates in a barter economy will never be as static as a table or spreadsheet, and I can see why Chris would be concerned.

I think it would be more helpful if you just showed the orbs in descending order from rarest to most common, something like the page GGG already has here http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/currency but re-arranged based on your exchange rates.

edit: Rates seem to be a little different between hardcore and default as well. A chaos orb for 2 alchemy, for instance, is considered a pretty good deal on hardcore (for the person getting the alchemy).


Chisels worth less than fusings? 18 alchs for a divine? I'm sorry but a lot of this is misleading...

While the relative value of many orbs is up in the air, there are many whose value relative to other orbs are set in stone at the vendor level.

No matter what people think/say, 2 alterations will always be worth 1 jewelers. 4 jewelers will always be worth 1 fusing, hence 8 alterations = 1 fusing.

You can now trade 1 regret for 1 alchemy at the vendor. I would recommend you make a note of which exchange rates are vendor defined, and therefore not up for discussion. Maybe highlight them in red when moused over, and others in green if possible.

Just posting to show my appreciation for the idea behind PoEex.

Speaking as someone who's terrible at math, formulas and numbers in general, I thought it was pretty ingenious how rates shift based on other rates.

I also like the idea that's community-driven. I think it's what makes it inherently a good reference at the very least. I don't think you should lose that, whatever changes you apply. Filtering the trolls sounds like the next logical step, but making it too complicated (e.g. submitting a form or having to register) is very detrimental to my eyes.

Seconded this. Lock those and make them noticeable. It'll help new players discover how vendors work as well.

Keep up the good work.

Where did you get this ratio of 8 chisels : 3 chaos : 3 regret, OP? I think chisels are worth more than that.

Based off of: 1.0 Exalted = 2.0 Divine;
1.0 Divine = 3.0 GCP, 6.0 Regal, 9.0 Chaos, 24.0 Chisels [WTF?];
1.0 GCP = 4.0 Blessed, 3.0 Regret, 6.0 Scouring, 6.0 Alchemy, 6.0 Fusing, 24.0 Jewelers, 24.0 Chance, 48.0 Alteration, 60.0 Chromatic.

I get an Application Error.
