    How much?

    So this weekend I was playing TD2 with a group of randoms and we was talking about the Exotics that they have seen or gotten, when one of them had an idea.

    What if the Vendor, Cassie would sell a special Cache once a month. Kind of like the GE Vendor did in TD, but in this Cache all loot was available at it's current drop rate.

    Pros and Cons tossed back an forth and what exactly would you have to do to get it. So it went on and on, one person stated a month's worth of farming, and it was became a dead discussion after that.

    Since I have been thinking about that, I am guessing at some point Massive will do something like this at the end of the game's life. To sell them on the idea, how much is a month's worth of farming to you that you are willing to spend it on one cache for a chance at the best items in the game? I know there are some hardcore farmers out there, what is your target amount with in game cash? No real money could be used for this.

    What items are we talking about? If its exotics, shouldnt cassie sell them in TU5 already? If its high-end, are we talking about items with a definitive max roll of one attribute? I am not sure if i understand the topic correctly.

    As the discussion went, he said anything. So right now EB is considered the best, how much do you think the price for this Cache should be, so that players could at best buy one once a month, yet understand that it could also give you the worst gear in the game. So how much do you think that cache should be if a player farmed and sold everything for a full 30 days? Would that be a fair target amount for a cache for a chance at the best loot in the game?

    That chance sounds like it would be so low you'd have a better chance getting it if you just hung out at the helo pad hoping some random group of players would come along and carry you through the raid, AND the EB drops on your very first run

    But it would at least give me something to spend the millions of "credits" I've gotten selling crap.

    Hey, at least it would give me something to do with my money. I have 2 million and nothing to do with it and I have been playing since launch. Maybe half a million?

    That is something that is bothering me, but what exotics would cassie actually sell that are not exclusive to a quest or drop? Only sweet dreams and merciless? will pestilence that is exclusive to DZ also be sold?

    Oh, i see. So its based on rng and the lootpool in that cache has to be enormous, since it has to feature every possible attribute and talent distribution on the items. And that cache only one time in a month and it drops only one item? Frankly, give it for free. Its only 12 chances in a year and the lootpool is way too big to actually get something worthwhile out of it.

    But if we would talk about a chest that gives you either an exotic or a gear set/high end item with one max. roll attribute, then i would say 1 million is a good price.

    This is an interesting idea, especially for the end-game economy within The Division 2. I've been keeping an eye out for threads on that larger topic, so I'll make a note to follow this one as well.

    You really need more out of you then that. Step outside of your job and speak as a player. What value would you put on a special cache for a shot at something really good?
