Something I noticed since the patch. May be just me.

I've noticed lately that since the 'candlestick keep' patch, as I'll call it... Crowns and heat appear a lot less in normal clockworks depths. In boss areas, they're fine. But enemies now seem to drop a lot less when killed. Crown drops in the first T3 stratum are pathetic for a Tier 3 stratum. 300 crowns from one depth? That's less than how much it cost to get to emberlight from haven! In general, to me, it seems that the crown drop rate has dropped. Whether a bug, or intentional, who knows. But what I'd like to know is... Am I the only one who thinks less crowns are dropped lately?

300 crowns for a depth has long been reasonably typical for fifth stratum.

Not really

Tier 3 is well-known for having terrible heat and crowns compared to the other tiers - with its only make-up being Firestorm citadel. :/

I've noticed tons of mobs dropping far less heat and crowns at all levels now.

It's not just in Tier 3, marqui and quizzical. It's in general. Like bigrusty said.

They predict energy prices are going to drop due to rose regalia so they lower the crowns per level....hmm sounds fishy -applies tinfoil hat-

Energy should drop a lot if

Energy should drop a lot if there is less crowns per level and more energy being sold, people got their wish. Now the complaining will be there isn't enough crowns so people can't upgrade armor, even though they can play all day with low energy prices.
