Can one of the vendors be made to sell stacks of currency?

Why do you stash up such masses in the first place?

Because burning your currency as quick as you get it is a losing proposition? (note: not a question. A statement; it's factually true)

Also, for those of us that've gotten it know, currency tabs let us have 5k currency per stack, and also has the "free" spots that let us have multiple stacks of the same type of currency; this can actually be necessary, especially for stuff like chromatics (where some offcolor rolls could take tens of thousands) but also just because when you play the game enough, you do wind up getting a lot.

Use the Vorici Bench trick for those off color rolls. It works well for 4 link items or need 6L items.

Um, wouldn't you still need thousands of a single type of orb? All we're doing is swapping chromatics for jewelers'.

Also, there's a number of combinations where even the Jeweler's trick won't work out so great; this includes basically all situations where you need 6 off-colors, and even makes it REALLY bad for 5 off-colors. For instance, since on a 212-stat item, a specific off-color is a slightly worse than 7% chance. That works out to an AVERAGE of 1,397.8 jewelers' orbs, or more than an exalt. (since each roll spends 80 jewelers': 70 to go for 5S, and then 10 to drop back to 4S) Getting to 6 off-colors costs an average of 7,449.9; it can be SLIGHTLY lower if you don't need them all the SAME off-color, but most of the cost is in that last socket, and since the other 5 will already be fixed, you HAVE to get a specific one there.

i always love the moment when you get the 5 off colors with a 6th off color when you need the non off color XD

only happend like 2-3 times not going for high number of off colors most of the time and if its a non uniq item i take the hybrid version instead even though you get less if one of the stats doesnt scale for you. (like es on a life based build)

Yes, but it would still be way cheaper than going for a 6 socket item for off color sockets using chromatic orbs which could cost many tens of thousands of chromatic orbs. Now, I must admit here that personally I've only gone for significant off color sockets on 4 socket items, never a 6 socket item. Personally, I would just do a different build or use a different item instead of going for an off color for 5 or 6 sockets. It works really great though for 4 socket items.

Note to the lurkers reading this, before attempting this kind of stuff reference Vorici Chromatic Calculator and play around with it before you waste a bunch of currency orbs. Also, the vorici bench trick is to get an item with the first two sockets to be colors you want, then use vorici bench to make it be a 2 socket item. Use bench to make a 3 socket item. If its the color you want then great continue on. If not the make it a 2 socket item again using the bench. This will drop the third socket but leave the first two sockets untouched. Repeat until the third socket is a good color. Do the same thing for the fourth socket, etc. Note that vorici bench gets much more expensive the higher the number of sockets so you want to save the easiest colors to get for the last. Which means that the very first two colors you may want to set by first making it 2 socket item and using the vorici bench to fix the colors on the first 2 sockets.

Yes, but

There is no "but." Is this a thread over in "Help and Information" about how to most efficiently produce socket colors, or is this a thread about dealing with large quantities of currency?

And besides, people are far more likely to trade alts for jewelers' (which feeds that recipe) than they are to convert jewelers' into chromatics.

There is a but. You even copied it? Is this a thread about builds in the "Scion builds" forum about how to efficiently make a Scion build?

And besides, people are far more likely to play other builds than Scion builds. Plus today is Tuesday!

Peace

Buying stacks from vendors is a QoL item that should have been in years ago.

I like to pick up EVERYTHING, so once I get over 2000 scrolls I cash in for the dozen or so Fuses that ends up translating to. Being able to buy in stacks makes too much sense.

You can sell stacks, why can't you buy?

So, you're admitting that what you're saying is just off-topic spam?

Actually, I was trying to be funny. It made me laugh so I consider that part successful. I was also trying to indicate that your response seemed to have no relation to my post.

Relax dude, I agreed with your post when I said "yes" then added some more info. If you can't take yes for an answer then take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Still upset? Try it again or pour yourself a beer or something.
