divine orbs

why all of a sudden divine orbs in Exchange Currency cost 520 and up chaos orbs ?

Because someone decided to put it at 520c
Then because someone else decided to put the next one at 519c
Then because someone else decided to put the next one at 518c
Then because someone else decided to put the next one at 517c
Then because someone else decided to put the next one at 516c

Rinse and repeat.

and if everyone else is not listing anything cheaper the price will remain that way.

pro tip

get a large group of players. buy up EVERY divine orb thats listed below 300c.

then when theres no more in the market. sell at 500c

keep buying the cheaper ones even tho you might not need it. the profit will make up for it.

People don't like having >5000 of a currency in their tab (max that can fill a slot) so they dump them at a fire sale price.

And this is why we can't have nice things and all direct player to player trade should be removed. Assuming that enough individual non bot users would be able to coordinate to do this is naive at best. The real issue with manipulation like what is mentioned is from the rmt farmers. Remove direct player to player and 1000% anonimyze trade and it will 99.99% block those item and currency farm bad actors.

No, this is why we have Leagues, so that things get reset and normalized every so often.

Chaos orbs are actually useful in PoE 1. If you run T17 maps, you need lots of them.

Just don't buy them.

Right now in STD:
Faustus 1div/chaos 1:450 + some gold, new instant trade
Trade site 1dv/chaos 1:300 old trade

Go to player HO for trade save 150 chaos per 1 div ?

I'm seriously considering a single tab for everything at the same price regardless of what it is. 7 ex for everything. I'll be the dollar general of poe.

Might pay too much for a jewel but something else will be hugely undervalued.
