With the removal of Fabulous Diamonds from the Rat Market, there is no decent way to get scrip through it. The implication is that FB wants this conversion to be either slow or costly. Well, I have come up with a way to preserve that intent without running through bones or excavations.
Add an option to the Clay Marauder’s Camp in Balmoral allowing players to buy a crate of 25 Balmoral Boots for 200,000 Rostygold.
That’s a 28% increase in price, so it puts a cap on how quickly a player can make the conversion without losing money on the deal - 4 weeks at the first tier of saturation.
Not only would it be lore/narrative friendly, as they would be stealing boots and selling them for the violent currency, it would also fit with established payout rates. Specifically, the 62.50E/4-week passive income from completing an ambition.
Besides, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a late-game use for all that Rat Market Rostygold?
