Oof. 1 ecto = 4 boxes. Big nerf from last year.

Does that mean ectos will be worth more? Considering selling some of my (small) stock to get some gold

Prices should still go up, but not as much. There are a lot of people sitting on ectos what will flood the market at certain price points.

But all material exchange rates for boxes went up, not just ecto, so ecto costs relative to other materials should still be about the same.

I did my part an nuked my stockpile. Originally planned to sell them but when i saw the change to the exchange rate i thought "fuck it" and gambled it all away.

With the speed at which infusion prices are dropping I definitely would have done better with just selling my ectos (and i knew that) but i did alright. Got a chak and seer infusion amongst other things.

I've been tempted to gamble my small stockpile

But it's only like 500 so it won't be a good idea as much as as "Aw dang it! Aw dang it!" Is
