Week 2: Runes of Aldur: divines firm, keys spike, lineage reprices
First recap from the Currency Exchange, hour by hour: one Divine cost 52% more Exalted by Friday, Trialmaster keys quadrupled, and lineage gems split hard between winners and wrecks.
Week 1 was patch-note chaos. Week 2 is what the Currency Exchange actually did once the game stopped rebooting every six hours.
This is the first Weekly Market Recap built from what we captured on the Currency Exchange between June 6 and June 12 — currency pairs, typed markets, and vendor recipes, hour by hour.
How much more expensive one Divine got in Exalted terms — 86 ex per div on June 6, 131 ex per div by June 12.
What moved up
The Divine–Exalted peg didn't sit still. The baseline we track moved from 86 Exalted per Divine at the start of the window to 131 Exalted per Divine by Friday. Read that as the Divine getting more expensive: you need more Exalted to buy one Divine than you did on Monday. If you're farming Exalted and waiting to convert, the price of entry kept climbing.
That's separate from the inflation ladder story about items priced in Divines (mirrors, chase uniques, omens) outpacing a static div stack. This week you got both: a firmer Divine on the Exchange and plenty of things that cost more divines than they did seven days ago.
Fragment keys led the flashy gainers. The Trialmaster's Reliquary Key went from about 21.5 div to 90.2 div inside the week (+320%). Seraph's Heart, a lineage support chase piece, climbed from 6.85 div to 29.4 div. Essence of Opulence doubled twice: 1 div to 6 div at the top of the Essence ladder.
Expedition leftovers joined the party after 0.5.2: Thaumaturgic Flux (Level 16) tripled from 0.25 div to 1 div over the week — small base, but exactly the kind of remnant-tier move expedition farmers watch.
What moved down
The same week crushed items that were crowded or overfarmed. Potent Liquid Melancholy collapsed 95% (0.4 div → 0.018 div). Greater Essence of Thawing and Perfect Essence of Seeking both shed more than 90% off their opening prints.
Lineage support wasn't a one-way bet either. Olroth's Hubris, Atziri's Impatience, and Uhtred's Constellation all finished the week down 84–93% from where they opened — chase tier is a portfolio, not a single gem.
Ritual omens took heat: Omen of Putrefaction and Omen of Answered Prayers both fell 85–87%. If you were quiver-flipping on Putrefaction hype, the market finished that argument.
- Trialmaster Reliquary Keys21.5 → 90.2 div in seven days.
- Seraph's HeartLineage support still repricing upward (+329%).
- Essence of OpulenceTop essence slot — 1 → 6 div.
- Expedition flux (T16)Thaumaturgic Flux level 16 tripled — 0.5.2 tailwind.
- Liquid Melancholy (Potent)Delirium liquid -95% — supply met demand.
- Greater Essence of Thawing-95% — mid-tier essences repricing down.
- Lineage losersOlroth's Hubris, Atziri's Impatience, Uhtred's Constellation all -85%+.
- Ritual omensPutrefaction and Answered Prayers both crashed hard.
By the numbers
June 6–12 on the Exchange:
- 79,836 price points in the window
- 546 distinct items tracked on the busiest day
- 131 ex per Divine at week close (from 86 ex on day one — Divine more expensive in Exalted terms)
- 90.2 div Trialmaster key close
- 29.4 div Seraph's Heart close
- Currency category still owns throughput — Exalted and Chaos orbs dominate hourly volume
What we're watching for week 3
Two macro threads: whether the Divine–Exalted peg keeps climbing (more ex per div = Divines stay expensive on the Exchange), and whether chase items in div terms keep repricing faster than your stack grows. Fragment keys and top lineage gems are the micro volatility — huge moves, thin books, painful if you chase late.
0.5.2's Expedition package should keep remnant-tier items noisy while farmers relearn logbook routes. We'll keep freezing these numbers every Friday — if you want the live edges while prices move, the scanner updates hourly.
Check the Exchange before you commit capital. Week 2 rewarded people who read the peg and punished people who bought hype at the top.
