The currency exchange currently rips off people the way it is set up.

If I can buy a gem for 50 copper then i should be able to get 2 for 100 copper. However not alot of people will do the math to find out how much 400 gems would be and just enter an amount in Gold and then silver to get 400 gems. What they don’t realize is that your getting ripped off cause u may be paying a bit more for the 400 gems then its worth.

If i can get 2 gems for 100 copper 1 silver and i enter is 1 silver 10 copper i still only get 2 gems and loose 10 copper. The amount drastically changes the higher the number of gems.

A fix for this is to have the player enter in the amount of gems they want and then display the price it would be for that.

I put in 2 gems system says that 1 silver. I put in 10 gems that 5 Silver.

Much better system charges appropriately.

If you have an uneven amount of money in the exchange, it refunds the excess to you, it doesn’t keep it.

Might wanna look into that, I’ve tested it multiple times and it is not refunding the excess.

I’ve confirmed that the exchange is functioning properly, and it does return any unevenly matched coin.

Attempting to trade for a tiny amount of gems is a special circumstance due to minimum values set by the server.
