Talk:Planar Currency

To Do: Obviously this will have to be done by someone high enough level in the game to know these things, unless there is another source we can cite. --User:PugPug
 * Make sure currency list is complete
 * Complete level range/zones for stone/shard versions
 * Create item pages for each currency so we can ilink them
 * More details about obtaining Crystal Sourcestones
 * Move zone event types to Zone Event, also listing all different invasions for each zone?

Not sure if the different types of shards and stones depend on the area or the type of plane of the rift, probably the latter. --Mardur 17:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like its the zone (and its level range) determining the type of shards/stones. Updated page with table. --Mardur 13:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

About the stones: they do not drop from any zone events. Participating in killing the final boss (even with silver or gold contribution) only dropped planarite for me multiple times.
 * The epic stones only drop from major zone events (e.g. close rifts, bring shade stones to the capacitors, kill invasions, kill boss), but NOT from the minor event invasions (close 10 rifts, kill 30 invasions, kill boss). See this forum post. --Mardur 13:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The purple currency dropping events have different objectives compared to the usual 'defend wardstones'. They also feature multiple special icon bosses. They have voiceovers (while the blues do not), and generally involve someone that's more important than "Joe the Champion of some guy". The lesser events will never drop blue no matter how good you did on them. Another way to distinguish the purple and blue events is that purples events have no achievement tied to them (which is rather ironic), while blue events do. --Astarica (forum)
 * So basically, if you had to defent wardstones and got an achievement "defeated boss xxx", you cannot get a stone. If there is a more involved quest, you get one --Mardur 13:49, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

The contribution is also weird. It does not matter how much damage or healing you do. It has been confirmed that the only measure for contribution is "actions per minute". Faster spells give more contribution (not sure how dots work). Even useless self buffs give contribution. It is possible to get gold contribution on each stage just by overriding your useless self armor buff every second. Try to get gold with a mage and 2 second casts. Try a single AoE spell which easily kills 5 enemies: no contribution at all. --Mardur 17:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Are enchanted and enshrouded actually in the game or specific to lower level Guardian zones? The list is missing ancient. --Mardur 14:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I was asking Guardians, they have the same stuff as Defiants. Enchanted and Enshrouded are not in the game or not accessible (I've checked all zones). Aryss 00:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
