Week 3: Runes of Aldur: divines climb again, breach catalysts chase, lineage splits
Week three on the Currency Exchange: one Divine cost 48% more Exalted than Monday, breach catalysts and essences surged on div books, and lineage supports split between winners and wrecks.
Week 2 ended with one Divine at 131 Exalted. Week 3 didn't take a breather — divines kept getting more expensive in Exalted terms, breach catalysts and essences repriced on div books, and lineage supports split hard between names that climbed and names that gave the move back.
This Weekly Market Recap is built from what we captured on the Currency Exchange between June 13 and June 19 — currency pairs, typed markets, and vendor recipes, hour by hour.
How much more expensive one Divine got in Exalted terms — 133.5 ex per div on June 13, 197.4 ex per div by June 18.
What moved up
The Divine–Exalted rate climbed again. The baseline we track moved from 133.5 Exalted per Divine at the start of the window to 197.4 Exalted per Divine by Thursday close. That's +48% on top of Week 2's already-firm move. If you're farming Exalted and waiting to convert, the price of entry rose every day this week.
Same story as Week 2, louder volume: a firmer Divine on the Exchange and plenty of div-priced items that moved faster than a static stack. The inflation ladder still applies — you're not immune just because the ex rate moved.
Breach had the cleanest div-book move. Refined Sibilant Catalyst climbed from 0.44 div to 1.6 div (+262%) — catalyst supply still catching up to breach farmers unlocking late. Skittering Catalyst doubled on a similar curve (+92%).
Essences joined the chase. Perfect Essence of Haste went from 0.04 div to 0.19 div (+332%) — mid-tier essence demand catching up to crafting traffic. Runes followed on books that actually clear in divines: Kolr's Hunt doubled from 0.9 div to 1.85 div, and Cadigan's Epiphany climbed from 4.8 div to 10 div.
Lineage wasn't one-way. Breachlord's Rift climbed from 3 div to 6.8 div (+130%) while other supports in the same category finished the week lower — chase tier is still a portfolio, not a single gem.
What moved down
Ritual omens cooled after early-league spikes. Omen of Amelioration dropped 63% (0.08 div → 0.03 div). Omen of Catalysing Exaltation shed 53% off its opening print — ritual supply catching up with favour farming.
Lineage support split both ways. Brutus' Brain fell 63% (1.04 div → 0.39 div) while Breachlord's Amalgam gave back 74% (6.5 div → 1.7 div). If you chased last week's lineage winners into Week 3, the market finished part of that argument.
Abyss drops joined the slide. Preserved Rib fell 75% (0.027 div → 0.007 div) as abyss output met the demand that bid it up earlier in the league.

By the numbers
June 13–19 on the Exchange:
- 65,521 price points in the window
- 562 distinct items tracked on the busiest day
- 197 ex per Divine at week close (from 134 ex on day one — Divine more expensive in Exalted terms)
- 1.6 div Refined Sibilant Catalyst close
- 1.85 div Kolr's Hunt close
- Ritual category throughput up — omens and favour farming still moving books
- Currency category still owns volume — Exalted and Chaos orbs dominate hourly throughput
What we're watching for week 4
Two macro threads: whether divines finally pause above 190 ex, and whether breach catalysts and mid-tier essences keep rotating faster than you can flip inventory. Lineage supports are the micro volatility — Rift and Amalgam moved opposite directions inside seven days, which is exactly what chase tier looks like mid-league.
Atlas passives are the other lever — wrong tree order means you're farming the wrong mechanic when prices move. We published a route guide this week that ties passive unlock order to the loops that actually show up on the Exchange.
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 3 rewarded people who read the ex rate and rotated with the categories that moved — and punished people who held last week's chase names into this week's supply.
