Secret recipe revealed
|
all i know is today i made like 30x 20% quality gems with this recipe/
between my 94 ranger 90 marauder and few 60-80 characters i have. I had ALOT of level 20 gems without quality. And i have a shit ton lvl18-19 made like 4x faster attacks 3x wep ele damage 2x life leech 2x loh and many more.... all im saying is... there really was no need for this recipe. I think things were fine they way they were before.... but hey its here so lets just embrace it i guess. |

"That's more like diminishing gains than straight up uselessness, which would be if there never ever being a reason to use GCPs to begin with. |

I think it is great. Great that the game had an almost uknown secret that is now discovered. It adds more depth to the ability of the game to be mystical and surprising.
Since the recipe was already in the game, one could state that the economy was 'wrong' all this time, and that it now can finally adjust to how the creators designed it. Now with this new knowledge, the economy can transform into what it was meant to be. Also, personally, I think that this recipe makes sense because the difference between getting quality on gems and getting quality on other types of items was quite large. |

" I think you're grossly overestimating how much people will prefer spending hundreds of hours releveling gems compared to just spending some GCPs. | |

PoE's economy was never designed to be static, this is also why you can't have set rates of trade between currencies that are stable forever (except some of the lower ones). It's an economy of supply and demand, and the new recipe has changed that a bit, and in future it will change again. People will complain then too, and be all "man, things were better when X exalts were worth Y chaos"

" I dont understand where my points are contradictory 1) GCP long term value goes down 2) lvl 1 13-18% quality gems are now next to worthless 3) those people who amassed a lot of cheap lvl 20 gems (lvl 20 gems were generally cheap on SC besides a few exceptions) now can sell them for more-lvl 1 20% quality gems were usually far more expensive than lvl 20 normal gems, and even though their price will fall they will still be more expensive than initial investment in cheap lvl 20 gems. that's EXACTLY how people who knew about the recipe made money.

"Leveling gear. |

"what exactly do you mean by that ? |

" C'mon man... GCP long term value goes down, sure. 13-18% gems are now worthless? Do you know how long it takes to get a gem to level 20? I, for one, would certainly rater spend 5 gcp then level a gem to 20. Maybe that's just me. No one was amassing cheap level 20 gems unless they knew about the recipe. Before today, that was very, very few people. And now it's leaked, okay. This could only have a positive or at least level the curve between currencies < gcp. |

" lvl 1 13-18% gems are nearly worthless because a lvl ~19.3 normal gem would be worth more. and when you start a new character youd want lvl 1 20% gem, not 14% gem. lvl 19 13-18% gems are still valuable " few people (including bots), but those who did became pretty rich. overall the new recipe is a softcore bot's heaven because gems dont delevel. |
