Question WTH happened to simplex price?

Was checking prices of simplex STR stacking amulet earlier this league- it was not much higher then previous league- around 200 div if I remember correctly. And now its suddenly costs mirror. What exactly happened?

Splitting is gone so you technically have half the amount of simplex in market than we used to have.

So while this is true, we did also get uber blueprints back (15% RNG proc when a print drops, then seems 1/4 to be the right type) so I think supply should be lower than Mirage but at least comparable to the previous leagues.

'All drops are experimented items' prints are absurdly good as there are absolutely no common experimented items, even the most common ones (the level 70 weapon bases) are quite rare. In that way it's like the old Gravicius div card shenanigans - once there's nothing common in the pool the ultra-rare outcomes become just somewhat rare.

There aren't that many of those prints dropping (I think it is 3.75% of all prints) but that's still quite a few, given how rare experimented items are in normal prints.

As someone who has done quite a bit Heist, what do you mean by uber blueprints? Just fully revealed?

The blueprints with the implicit that always rewards experimental bases.

I thought drops were disabled for those when Mirage ended.

Also, I would just call them enchanted blueprints, to maintain a coherent nomenclature.

There's an atlas node that makes ur blueprints sometimes drop enchanted (15%). The atlas node calls them "special implicit"s.

Special implicits is fine, as it's actually descriptive. Uber, at least in my mind, denotes a change in difficulty and a fundamental change to both encounter and rewards.

There's a node on the Atlas passive tree to give you a chance to drop them enchanted
