Kuiper vs Gold economy seems to be off

[KitKat]

I am literally sitting at over 2mil Kuiper shards... But I constantly run out of Gold. There seems to be something "off" about the way Gold-based prices are handled here.

Excess of Kuiper, yet severely underwhelming amounts of Gold - for the amount that is required to level up or combine mods, to craft those re-roll items and just generally for crafting(weapon/descendant parts) as a whole, as well as the re-rolling process itself (which also requires gold ON TOP of the re-rolling items).

I feel like Gold prices need to be tuned down a notch across the board. To match and overall "equalize" how much Gold is needed compared to Kuiper.

agree or up the gold drop rate

I think the issue is you.....I am sitting on almost 2m kuiper and well over 35mil gold and barely fall below 30m even when I craft and upgrade.
There are kuiper and gold farms in the game, use them.

I'm very much aware of the Gold farms. Fastest right now is 10mil per hour. Still not enough.

Thing is... One red mod for your chacter requires 5.155.000 Gold and mere 515.500 Kuiper. I say "mere" because 5 mil vs 500k is definitely a huge gap. Hell, upgrading one blue mod to rank 10 requires 1.031.000 Gold, but only 103.100 Kuiper. All while Kuiper is used exclusively for mod upgrades, while Gold is used for many other systems in the game - crafting and re-rolling/upgrading reactors. Even mod *fusing* uses Gold, instead of Kuiper!

Hence why I say the Kuiper vs Gold economy seems off. Not separately, but when these two combined and compared.

It does seem the ratio is roughly 10:1 kuiper/gold where as earning either is the same amount so deffo off but I think it's intentional.

Depends on what your are grinding and if you have external modules that boost drops for them. I tend to run out of Kuiper as I max out a lot of my modules, especially the transcendent ones. It will be different in the future when I have no new modules to enhance, it's just gold sink only...

I wish I could waste all of my farmed Kuiper to upgrade those modules. Too bad I can't - not enough gold for that.

on the upside never have to farm kuiper ever again.

Youtube paypigs bought formas, potatos, and ultimate characters instead of playing so best not listening to them that kuiper is the roadblock in lvling up mods.

Streamers suck.

Yeah, because GOLD is the roadblock instead. You need it to craft stuff, re-roll stuff, upgrade stuff... While Kuiper is only used for upgrading mods, ALONG WITH a huge amound of Gold.

[Blanchimont]

The thing is that gold is only the roadblock because you're likely spending it on crafting as well. You will eventually get to where you're stuck on Crystalline Catalysts more than anything.

I think at this point I think I'll start going back to Albion and sell all that trash loot for even the scraps of gold that the vendor gives... >.>
