'''Conversion Rates on Alternate Currencies Discussion - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=41539 Link]'''

Turbine developer Django has started a discussion on what players think the relative values of the various alternative [[Currency|currencies]] are:

:As we've been adding quite a few items to the alternate currency vendors we wanted to get feedback on what our players believe to be the conversion rates between the various alternate currencies.

:For Instance:

:GY Coin = 1
:Colo Coin = 4
:Olthoi Sac = 2

:Meaning that a GY coin is the easiest to get and the smallest unit while Olthoi Sacs are worth twice as much as Colo Coins are worth 4 times as much. Converting this to buy prices would be the inverse of course. (for instance Colo items would end up costing 1/4 of that GY items in this case.)

:We can figure out the exact numbers of how often players would be able to get coins. However that would say 4 Colo Coins/hr which I'm sure nobody runs Colosseum for as many consecutive hours as someplace like the Graveyard and there's also prep time on the Colosseum. Obtaining information on the perceived value would help us add items across all alternate currency vendors.

:Thanks!

:<nowiki>**</nowiki>Note - We're not looking to make a conversion in game. This is for the purpose of adding the same items to the different vendors. Not all items are applicable as some are area specific however certain items would be best obtained in your favorite hunting spot (for instance if I were to say add a Noble Armor upgrade kit as an item). This month's items are on 3 vendors and pretty much have the same stats, so it would have been good to know for them as well 

Head over to the Turbine message boards and join in on the discussion. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 16:32, 9 February 2009 (CST)
