Crom - right now you can convert from old broken coin tokens to gold ones.  your note says that the upcoming update will add a feature to then convert from gold to silver.  will there be one to convert from old broken coin tokens straight to silver at some more favorable rate than two conversions that I presume will cause us to lose value at each conversion point?

or shall i just convert to gold now as that will be the only way to do it anyway?

Sounds a good idea to have the option to convert to both but please dont limit it at 1k like it is now..

It's just during 1 time - to reduce accidently conversion. You can buy it as many times as you wish.

5 silver coins give 1 gold coins, all good so far

1 gold coin give 3 silver coins???  where did the two other silver coins go?

in conversion there is no difference

Conversion is from Broken Plates to Gold Coin.

Trade is from Gold to Silver and Silver to Gold.

Yes, it seems the Master Blacksmith wants his cut when going from gold to silver coins...….

BUT WHEN ARE THE SILVER COINS EARNED IN BERIMOND GOING TO BE PAYED OUT?

On my 70+ server, I received mine as I was playing the event.

On my Wasso one, I was still getting the standard Beri rewards.  No coins.  Level 67 there.  Reported to @Crom Cruach and he said he was sending it over to see why I wasn't getting silver coins.  No answer yet...........

To be honest I don't care any more, I am on the game to see my friends I don't care what they break, there is no challenge in events there is no challenge in lpte
The game is dead as far as I am concerned and I don't want to have to beg for the lousy rewards every time

its even worse than it first looked

and the price card in the shop is wrong too

1 gold for 3 silver pieces it shows

WRONG, you get one silver for 1 gold

Those coder must be picked out of the garbage bin from another gaming company, trashed for bad work, cheap though.

No it works as intended
You are buying 1000 x 3 silver coins so 1000 gold will give you 3000 silver.
Try it yourself and you will see

do not understand

As i understand it 10 silver tokens = 100 purified water

but when i go to buy , i get 1 purified water for 10 silver tokens

if this is the cased they can shove this where the sun do not shine , i become a free to play ,  Player as this has become a fiasco.

100% correct

You're buying them in packages
So 1 package of 100 purified water for 10 silver.

everyone hush before they realize it's cheaper  now

If you take the time and look things over, the silver pieces section actually has pretty good deals, -the total amount of skips you can buy. Honestly don't ever see myself using the gold pieces unless they offered relic equipment there.

Who thought it was a good idea to reward players with gold and silver tokens but then not allow them to use the blacksmiths shop as there level isn't high enough. As a level 55 i'm winning the tokens but no bloody shop to spend them in. If this is a ploy by GGe to get me to spend more money to level up faster it hasn't worked in fact it has had the opposite effect i'm now thinking about leaving game as it no longer seems we are playing on a level field (

You guys don't understand, you arent buying one of whatever you want, you are buying one SERVING, the amount of which is depicted in the shop. When buying silver coins the serviny soze is 3, so when you get 3 servings you get nine. Ez maffs eh

  @blueninja691 (US1) is correct in how the shop works.  But, @bummer (NL1) is correct that due to the historical ways the game has shown items, the shop gives the impression of a display error.  For Example - The Nomad Shop:



It shows that 5 tails cost 30 tabs.  When you press the + button, it goes up by 5 tails and 30 tabs.  

In the Gold/Silver shop, it shows on the main page that 10 1 hours skips cost 100 Silver Coins.  But, when purchasing, you are selecting how many "10's" you want to buy.  As such, it goes up by 1 "pack" and 100 Coins.



Therefore, it IS working as they designed it.  The amounts per unit cost are correct.

BUT, it is not in the style that most Players are used to.  Add in the potential for language differences, especially if playing on a Server that is not your Mother Tongue, and the confusion is understandable.

So, what is the solution?  Change the new shop to the old style?  Or give the players time to figure it out.

History would tend to favor GGS doing nothing.  "Let the Players figure it out."

I DO wonder it if is easier to program the shop this way.  If everything counts up by one, and they program the amounts per "pack" instead.  If it IS easier, then we have our answer...…...

thankyou to all, it is the way GGE display the shop is off putting , but in reality it gives you the correct amount when you actually buy the items.

So now is all good
