High Level Alchemy

High Level Alchemy was removed from DarkScape a day after the October 2, 2015 update. The reason for this was stated in a forum thread.

"Yesterday’s update contained a broad reduction in the gold value for items being high alched in DarkScape. This has caused a bit of a stir but we did it for good reason and I want to run through why and what it means for the future.''We have spoken before about the cash injection from players alching and its impact on the economy. We track the gold usage in the game very carefully and have spent a long time debating the best way to address the issue before it becomes a problem. We had 2 clear options to address the problem, slash the values or remove the ability. Our update yesterday was an attempt to address the issue by reducing the inflated prices on the worst offending items. What we have learnt from this is that it is a never ending exercise to ensure there are no outliers. In general it would likely require a full rebalance of all item values. This is not a reasonable option. Based on this discussion we are going to remove the ability to high alch in DarkScape. Low alch and stores are still available to generate gold and we can look at other interesting methods of generating wealth in game in the future as the population starts to develop the need for it."''
