I know staff changed the exp rates for orbis exchange quest recently, so how many are needed to get to 30 now?
Well you needed 6900 when it gave 8000 exp and now it will be giving 2000 exp. So previously it was 69 exchanges for a total of 552,000 exp, if we divide that by 2000 for the new exp number we get 276. So that's 276 trades of 100 etc's for a total of 27,600. Someone should check my math on that though.
If the same amount people keep doing Orbis Etc. quests the prices will even rise (more items needed so more demand but the supply remains the same=>prices rise)
At the same time, orbis etcs have been nerfed, so people might not be willing to pay as much, since it's not worth it. & grinding is faster. So the prices will drop. Economics is fun.
i think you are right. prices will probably drop if they havent already. because while you might need more they are also 1/4 as usefull
