Settlers Systems in the Official Notes
The official 3.26 notes describe Settlers being added to the core game, with Kingsmarch services, worker wages, gold costs, ore deposits, and returning trade systems. These are the durable mechanics worth understanding before looking at current market prices.
How Dust Changes a Shipment
The official 3.25.1 notes explain that Thaumaturgic Dust was changed so it adds to Shipment Value and scales rewards based on the other goods in the shipment. That is different from treating dust as a simple multiplier, so shipment composition and risk still matter.
Use Market Data Separately
Patch notes explain mechanics; they do not establish today's item price or the best trade. Check live listings and compare Dust per Chaos, per-slot efficiency, and gold fees separately. Eovant's calculator is designed to make those comparisons easier, but the market inputs still need a current refresh.
