It by no means is set of course but pretty much every place on jsp uses that general rule of thumb. It is not a rule that that is the value of course.

You can see that from this forum. Average rates are like what 3fg =1 igg?? ish give or take server etc.

300 fg = 100 igg? 100 igg on websites is about 5 ish dollars now?

so the ratios are some what better here. Maybe closer on some servers

Different section here are always going to have different prices.
All of them might be close to this "rule of thumb" you are referring to, which I'm perfectly aware of by the way, just so you know

Counter-Strike forum are selling for around 1:80 right now, some even lower.
While you have the Magic the gathering section that are between 1:90 to 1:100.

Archage is very complicated because Trion is very good at shaking the market with their in-game shop.
I think a lot of the adjustment in the current market here on D2jsp is due to the new boxes.
I am not a fan of their 'Pay-to-win' system they are reveling more and more as time goes by.


As an example:

1x APEX is 1200 credits.
That is nearly 3 boxes, and lets play with our mind that it actually is 3 boxes (60 Credit missing for the last box).

If you are lucky enough, you can get 9 rumbling archeum trees.
3 per box. (With luck).

That is on my server 50 gold per tree and 150 gold per box.
This would add up to 450 gold per APEX if you sold the containing items.

And poof! 1:45 ratio. ($ to gold ratio in-game)
But this is just a lucky scenario.
I usually receive 1 per chest so I'm not sure if we can go a head and say '2' would be an average number.
But if it would be, Melisara EU would have the ratio of 1:30 if you pay directly to Trion in order to purchase these boxes with Apexes.

Now the ratio would be very different paying with the credit option.
$5 would be 900 Credits and that would be two boxes.


Point is,

The FG:IGG ratio for Archeage will always change.
Both up and down. It all goes down to what Trion chose to have in their own shop.

Yea sorry to imply you didnt know. Anyone with a trusted tag would know that for sure.

O god please dont even try to make sense of the things trion is doing.

I quit a couple weeks ago because of this joke of a pay 2 win system they have going on.

It makes me really sad what they are doing to the game.
Hand down, this is the best game I've ever played. I just love it so much.

But their whole system with the cash shop is destroying everything...

My Co-leader for our guild and a guild member of ours had 8 Thunderstruck trees stored in their banks, each.
They've been planting together for a long time just to hunt the TS and all of a sudden, with a 12 hour sleep loose over 750 gold per tree. Almost 7000 gold each, for not selling them.

This game have a lot of potential, but Trion is just not doing it right.


Oh and another thing..
I got the Kraken glider the day before Auroria patch.
WELL AT LEAST I HAD FUN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY DESTROYED IT...

Haha.. I need a drink...

The game was a great idea but they are running a business so they have to make the money.

Sad thing is it has been a long time since I played a MMO I forgot how different the player base was. A lot of the "gamers" who play archeage love the free 2 play model (nothing is ever free fukin retards).
They just put in their credit card and keep on rolling. Every single person in the guild I was in except for maybe like 2 said they would NEVER pay a monthly subscription to a game but they own literally thousands of dollars in Star Citizen ships... like are you dumb as fuck or what?

It seems now it is the norm for every game to be "free" to play. I am the crazy one for wanting the stuff you earn in game and the skill to be based on you and not your credit card.

I seriously feel like I am in the twilight zone.. HOW can this be ok on ANY level?!?!

Trion sucks. That's all.

Play trove

what they mean is $10=1kfg because there are a plethora of websites where people sell their fg for this price.
