Electrum questions

[ponury_indor]

After two month break I'm playing with my new char, just entered Act IV on normal. What is Electrum and how do I get it? Is this only Legendary difficulty stuff like Seraph Crystals in Borderlands 2? Where can I find vendor that accept this currency?

Regards,

This is earned by killing stuff while you have a curse or curses on you. Go back to Helos and go out the gate by the portal then down the map to a new path that'll take you to a temple that has curse beacons in it. Choose one or more depending on how hard you want to make the game for yourself and then go and kill things. You can also remove said curse/s there as well.

This is a new mechanic just added with the latest publicbeta version of the game.

"New features:
Curse Shrines
Curse Shrines would be an area in the gameworld, where unique shrines exist that can place a certain kind of curse on the player in exchange for other rewards.

Once a Curse is activated it will stay active until the player deactivates it via one of the cleansing shrines. The shrines are located in Helos at the very beginning of the game.

A new currency, Electrum, is gained from killing monsters with curses active. The more Curses are on the player the more Electrum is being provided. Electrum is a new currency that players can Transmute later into special Orbs that will give players special gears.

Note: Orbs containing items from any expansion that the player does not own, will still drop items from those expansions. However those items will be unusable until the player has acquired the required DLC.
Description of the Orbs mention a key , this key is not expected to drop for now;"
