As you know, ArcheAge is a highly economy-based game, and it makes sense to make more conservative adjustments. Changes to systems that are this integral tend to have really bad effects when they're done wrong. We're continuing to provide data to XLGAMES in Open Beta to help them find the right answer. The good news is that we're able to harvest and provide that data to them quickly.



We definitely didn't design the Archeum Supply Crate with the intent it'd be a primary source of archeum! The naming of this crate was unfortunate timing and actually a nod to the Archeum Founders Pack. The actual archeum inside of it was supposed to be more of a bonus for purchasing it. We had actually expected all of the archeum drop updates to be done by the time this crate was introduced to the Marketplace and we're absolutely going to keep pushing for general improvements to the crafting system.
