Ascension: Quick Notes III

Ascension Quick Notes Part III - Currency Changes

Part IV: The Support Changes (coming tomorrow)

This post will feature both Currency Changes and Removed Items come Ascension. The Currency Changes do not feature a rate in which they will be converted into, so assume the rate won't be as high as it is intended to be. 

Currency Changes

Part 1 - Tactical Sense Items

• Tactical Sense Fragments will be converting into Credits.
• Tactical Sense itself, will also be converting into Credits.
• Tactical Sense Replicators (originally acquired through events or Research bonuses) will be converted into Victor Medals.
• Resonance Boosters (originally acquired only through Research bonuses) will be converted into Victor Medals.
• Any packs of Tactical Sense Replicators remaining in your inventory before the Pre-Patch will also be converted into Victor Medals.

Part 2 - Atlas Items

• Spark Development will convert over to the new system (read below) and may convert into Progress or Credits.
• Insight Sparks (Destruction, Creation, and Balance) will be converted into Progress to the new character development system. 
• Sparks of Revelation (comes from Hostile Territories, Battle of Equals or Anthean Wasteland) convert into Progress to the new character development system.
• All class sparks (Evolution included) convert into Credits.
• Secret Knowledge converts into Victor Medals.
• Any Spark Replicators you have remaining before the Pre-Patch will be converted as a split of Stimulants (a method of speeding up adventures in the campaign map now) and Credits.

Part 3 - Order Items

• Any relics acquired before Pre-Patch if unused will convert into credits. This includes: Okki Tablets, Ring of the Founder, Silver Pommel, and Eternal Light.
• The Ether Sphere and Golden Sphere items purchased from the market get converted into Credits. Influence also was removed from the game for Providences.
• Unopened kits of resources? - Likely will be converted into Argents unless otherwise specified.
• Ammo and Supplies (used for current Order system) will be converted into Credits.
• Adept Job Modifiers (probably things like Profitable Contract I'd assume) will be converted into Victor Medals.
• All Adept Resources, such as Gifts, Messenger Necklace, etc. are being removed and replaced with Credits.
• Special Equipment will be converted into Credits. This is the only Adept Job Modifier that will be converted into Credits specifically.
• Effects? Not 100% sure but effects are supposed to convert into progress of the Tower of Knowledge (a part of the new Ascension update)
• Quality of Chapels and Temples will be analyzed and converted into Credits (as those 2 are being removed from the game in the pre-patch)

Part 4 - Invasion-Specific Items

• Research grants are being removed and converted into Credits.
• Eidoses of specific armies are being removed and converted into Credits, depending on how many you have.
• Battery Modules are being removed and converted into Credits.
• Any Divine Revelation books you have before Pre-Patch will be converted into the new Trophy Avatar, which does the exact same effect as a Divine Revelation book would do before the pre-patch.

Part 5 - The Rest of the Stuff

• Celestial Threads (the item that substitutes Credits when you are credit capped) are ironically being turned into Credits.
• Fluid of Incarnation (used for Legendary Rings) should be farmed before pre-patch, any remaining Fluids turn into Credits. You SHOULD get your Legendary Ring before pre-patch (see below)
• Getting your Legendary Ring BEFORE pre-patch nets you 3 Legendary Artifacts during launch of the pre-patch of Ascension. Artifacts replace Secondary Weapons.
• Focus of Faith - As mentioned in the Divine Changes post. These will be converted into Victor Medals. You can soft cap your faith to 1,000 before the pre-patch update because it WILL CARRY OVER to the new Faith System!!
• Variatrons (items that change rewards of adventures) are being removed (I assume because many currencies are being removed) and will give you Credits for each one.
• Enhancement Stones are being converted into Credits.
• Ether Cores (green and purple kinds) get converted into Tower of Knowledge progress, not credits. This may come in handy to help you get started.
• Any vector upgrades you've performed (assuming with Ether Cores or Improved Ether Cores) will be converted into Tower of Knowledge progress.
• Divine Ink will be converted into Credits.
• Scrolls crafted with God of Knowledge (which is being removed from the game in Pre-Patch) will be converted into Credits. The conversion rate appears to be more significant then most of the other resources. [Click Here] for the source.
• Spark of Transformation (used to respec classes or unlock classes previously) is being removed and turned into Credits.
• Backpacks with random equipment (both epic and equipment acquired from adventures) are being removed and turned into Credits.
• IMPORTANT - You cannot convert Credits into Argents when the Pre-Patch hits!! IF YOU WANT SOME STARTER ARGENTS WITHOUT BUYING THEM, CONVERT CREDITS TO ARGENTS BEFORE THE PRE-PATCH UPDATE OF ASCENSION.
