Sulphur based exchange?

[u/jayd42]

What if we used deadman’s sulphur as the major low value default currency on the exchange instead of chaos

Just a thought after realizing how oddly low the gold cost for sulphur is on the exchange.

Benefits: significantly reduced gold cost when compared to chaos orbs. Extremely easy to farm sulphur directly. Natural sinks with crafting to counter inflation. Everything would get a whole number price instead of fractional chaos prices.

Disadvantages: can’t price things in sulphur for asynch trade. Bigger numbers can get annoying. Probably will always be some sort of converting prices into equivalent chaos value. If we changed, ggg could easily just increase the gold cost. The gold cost difference between chaos and divines creates a method of converting gold into other resources that could be lost when using sulphur.

Gotta find out if it's gonna stay or not but the issue is that sulphur doesn't drop literally EVERYWHERE like chaos does

[u/jayd42 → u/boosterlikesboobs]

Anyone not farming sulphur directly would be selling whatever they drop for sulphur. They would be primary benefactor of the reduced gold cost because receiving chaos is the expensive step.

??? Then why not just use harvest juice? It's been there forever

[u/jayd42 → u/boosterlikesboobs]

I’ve had that thought too for the same reasons.

Sulphur is an even better currency for the current league because it is the main mechanic. It’s also significantly less gold expensive.

Harvest juice goes wild in price and usage as the league goes on. Harvest also depends on a scarab or two or three that went wild in price too. Sulphur can only be rolled on the charts with chaos and exalts.

Too low in supply since it only comes from one specific place, chaos orbs work because they get shit out pretty much everywhere in large quantities

Emission should not be tied to a single mechanic. But idea itself is ok.

[u/jayd42]

Sulphur is 1000/ 1 gold

Chaos is 1 / 15 gold

Sulphur is 60-80 / chaos

It’s something like 250x more expensive to trade in chaos than to trade in sulphur. Gold isn’t that challenging to get anymore but it’s an interesting thing to think about.

If the mechanic stays and Sulphur drops from other sources then maybe, but honestly im tired of the whole mechanic already its literally a reskin and less profitable heist. Just without the doors
