The layout of the Currency Tab needs an update

Earlier today, I made a Reddit post showcasing how the layout of the Currency tab can result in some unfortunate accidents. The post was (as I should have expected), completely misunderstood. So I thought I would give a more robust version of my feedback here on the forums.

The issue is this: the placement of many currency items in the Currency tab seems very haphazard, and can potentially be dangerous for the crafting process.

To exemplify what the tab in question should, in my view, look like, let's analyze its first row:



It's elegant. Scrolls first, then flask-related currency, then quality currency. Clean, intuitive design.

That's where the good ends and the bad begins. Notable examples:
- Transmutes, Augs, Alts are thematically very similar, yet are interrupted by Annuls, which serve a different purpose;
- Mirror of Kalandra being placed away from most currency is good design; it's extremely valuable and you do NOT want to click it by accident. However, the design is ruined by pairing it with the Exalted Orb, which has been devalued in favor of Divine Orbs quite some time ago;
- Jewelers, Fusing, Chromes all modify sockets and are all adjacent to each other (good), but to their left is the slot for Hinekora's locks (bad!). Not only do Locks serve a completely different purpose, but are very rare and expensive, thus their placement next to extremely common currency opens up the possibility for unfortunate misclicks;
- Regals, Alchs and Chaos are all related to rare item crafting. They are adjacent to each other (good), but Chaos Orbs are also adjacent to Blessed Orbs (bad!). Blessed Orbs are often used to finish a crafted item by improving the Implicit roll, while Chaos Orbs (which are incidentally very similar in color) reroll all affixes. Again, there is opportunity for unfortunate accidents here;
- Similar situation to the above occurs with Scourings and Sacred Orbs. The former removes all affixes, the latter is used to polish up a finished craft.


Bottom line: the design is unintuitive at best and accident-prone at worst.


As for my suggestions, I'd like to see the following pairings:

- Orb Transmutation-Orb of Alteration-Orb of Augmentation (magic item crafting - similar function)
- Exalted Orb-Orb of Annulment (add/remove modifier - similar function)
- Blessed Orb-Sacred Orb-Divine Orb (change values - similar function)
- Hinekora's Lock-Mirror of Kalandra (extremely rare currency, placed away from other types for safety)
- Orb of Chance-Ancient Orb (thematically similar)

The lengths that you are going to avoid admitting accountability for accidentally chaos orbing your item is very funny
