The crown earning rate is just way too slow, even in elite difficulty, because you have to spend a really long time playing the game to earn some crowns, and you have extremely hard missions like The Return Of Ur and The Gauntlet and other tier 3 missions that nobody plays doesn't reward enough crowns, the only mission that rewards more crowns is The King Of Ashes, but playing that level over and over just gets so boring,

And when you play around depth 18-22 you barely earn any crowns and feels like a big waste of time, maybe we just need more levels like The King Of Ashes except more crowns.

What's your opinion?

Crowns are at an okay rate of earning. If you're not spending your earning constantly and play an arcade gate a day or so, you'll be fine in earnings.
King of Ashses only gives so many crowns because it's in an even strata. There are also hordes of enemies in that level, all dropping loot.

However, you can easily make more than the king of ashes missions if you get several danger rooms and/or an arena in stratum 6 arcade. Heck, I've made more crowns in a tier 2 run than king of ashes because of arenas and danger rooms! Arenas net about or above 3k crowns per entire floor cleared.

Bottom line: no. Crowns are okay.

wouldnt change anything

If the crown drop rate is scaled up then you would expect the rate of AH and CE prices to scale up as well.

It wouldn't change prizes

It wouldn't change prizes from basil and other strangers for recipes and weapons and over stuff would it?

So what you really want is

So what you really want are NPC stores lowering price.

Since the bulk of goods bought with crowns are from other players, I don't really see why this would be such a good idea. All of the sold goods from NPCs are relatively cheap.

@Rectilios

Get informed.

Do depth payouts need a bit tweaking? I actually think the introduction of rarities was to make certain depths more valuable.
Before the forge update, you could get just about the same payout from a D7 arena as you would from a D28 arena. One is laughably easy to endgame players. Now D28 would have a very high chance for more valuable rarities.

Does crown payout need tweaking? My vote is that the current situation is pretty good.

@Fangel

Not all arenas are randomized equally. Odd stratum ones range from 1-2kcrn while even stratum ones range from 2-4kcrn.

@Skepticraven

Mostly the depth 18-22 needs changing IMO, atleast depth 23-28 gives you a reasonable amount of crowns

this would just make players and the economy spaz out for like a month and then everything would be back to normal except everyone would just have bigger numbers to deal with. :|
