Hail Sapience,

There is a habit amongst the civilised to keep secret that which might be exploited for profit. To make deals with others, and reap profit from knowing a thing that is not widespread. Not some skill, or bit of craft, from which one ought derive profit: but simply a thing that has gone unnoticed. I have stumbled upon one of these things, a thing that is clearly known by several others, and as tempting as it is to grasp it tight, it seems only fair to share it:

The delos bank is lazy in its listing of prizes. They print the list from the very same list they use to stuff the vault, and refresh it every time a vault is opened. The order represents the order in which each prize first arrives. You can thus always be guaranteed that the earliest unopened vault contains the earliest listed prize. This does not guarantee the location of later prizes, unless each prize at the top of the list is singular. You can infer quite a bit about locations based on the singular prizes and where they sit when they are opened.

I have seen enough people take advantage, buying keys for far less than their real value, and I would expect the current insanity of auction prices is at least in part due to this. Perhaps I am wrong - but, I am tired of some profiting off this knowledge while others sit without.

I would also hope that this ordering is fixed, but having been already told it was to no such effect, I do not think it fair that so many clearly know this, including myself, while others do not.

In service against profit,
Treyal Wintermourne
