Why did Omen of Light dump so hard?

Why is Omen of Light so cheap right now? I tried looking for information but couldn’t find anything, except people stacking wisps to farm Omens.

Of course, Preserved Bone will increase in price, because in the current situation, normal rolling is much more profitable than using Ancient Bone.

But what’s even harder to understand is why Ancient Bone is still priced so high, because based on experience and weight calculations, normal rolling is actually 3 to 4 times harder (depending on the mod you want).

If you don’t have a temple, farming omen of lights was the next best thing, it’s been heavily farmed I guess

People farmed the hell out of them because it was the second best farming strat.

Less players = less crafting = less trading = less quick profits.

As for the lesser currency, those are traded and used more frequently than their ancient versions so it jacks the prices. Additionally, since omens are cheaper, its much more efficient to reroll desecrations multiple times than a couple times using ancients.

Dead game

Partially joking but ATM the game is less active due to burn out and people moving on.

A bunch of folks went for the same farming strat and now the market is flooded. There are thousands of more Omens of Lights in circulation than other valuable farmables so the price bottomed out.

Just go look at the snapshot of "quantity" for various items on https://poe2scout.com/economy/ritual and it's pretty obvious what happened.

It's also the perfect storm of being a strat that can be run during normal mapping with minimal setup (abyss tabs drop like candy) hence the flood of items.

There are way fewer divines being generated out of temples due to less people farming temples overall at this point in the league. Combine that with Omen of Light farming being one of the most popular farming strategies this league. The ratio of supply between omen of light and divines has changed (more omens of light relative to Divines) thus the value of divines increase while value of omen of light decreases.

If you click into the page dedicated to Omen of Light and expand the timeline to the entire league, then you'll see that Omen of Light has been decreasing in price steadily for a long time now and that nothing happening recently is a departure from the long-term trend of the price.

This -71% number is over the last 7 days and is just a result of how the math of percentage change works for small numbers. For example, going from 2 to 1 is a -50%, but going from 100 to 99 is a -1% despite that being the same reduction in price. When you're on a downward linear trend, as numbers get smaller, the percentage changes get bigger.

Like if something starts at a price of 100 and goes down by 10 every seven days, then it's 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, etc. And if you did the percentage changes on each change then it'd be -10%, -11%, -13%, -14%, -17%, -20%, -25%, -33%, -50%

Crafting is not only bad but it also takes away from being exited about loot drops.

It's probably unpopular opinion but what the hell... I LOVE PoE games. I have over 1000h in PoE1 and now I'm approaching 500h in PoE2. PoE1 eventually became a game that a bit too fast and too bloated for me so I pretty much quit playing it once PoE2 dropped and I don't regret it. PoE2 pace is much more fun for me, I enjoy playing through campaign a lot more and classes are fantastic! (Merc and Druid <3) That being said I have to confess - One of the things I apreciated as a concept but never really liked was crafting system in PoE. For me it took away from loot drops as the game became more about "find a base and then farm currency" instead of being exited about loot drops without a need for any crafting on top of that. I know that it puts me in minority as most PoE players seem to enjoy it's crafting system. PoE2 tho was supposed to "fix" this issue by removing crafting station, upgrading the loot system and making it so crafting happens more "on the go" even as you level up and balance loot drops with crafting on top of them instead of crafing being a necessity. Well... That's not the case. Not only crafting still is a necessity if you want to push your build higher - taking away from farming loot and focusing on farming currency. But also crafting itself is a total mess. Crafting in PoE2 could me summarized as "it does something". It creates a Diablo 2 problem. Runewords were cool and all but nowadays you either farm runes and bases or you're in massive disadvantage because item drops simply can't match the power of strong runeword. In PoE2 - You either farm currency and use it on a strong base or, again, you are at disadvantage because normal world drops are just not as powerful. For me - Crafting should be simplified and be way more deterministic and loot pool should be updated to make drops more exiting on their own. (I know - easier said than done)

What currency to use on tablets?

Hi there, I'm one of the dopes who just discovered that I can make my tablets rare by beating that arbiter boss or whatever. I have a tab full of blue tablets that I'm gonna wanna upgrade, does it make sense to use higher tiered currency to roll these? Or just alchemy orb? Thanks
