reading these analysis posts on vertin's relationships with others and both the O.P.'s getting it right and its got me like
Episode 3 of the new event
Sharpodonties, Currency Exchange, and How Much Money Vertin Can Actually Make
Honestly looking at some of the richer character's belongings I think about how rich Vertin must be.
It takes around 180 Clear Drops to have one pull. I heard some players having 100 pulls or the regulars having around 30-40 pulls. This means Vertin at some points can have 6 of Isolde's designer jewels or multiple copies of designer shoes.
The evaluation of their prices are based on Pandora Wilson's biases since Pavia's jewelry has gotten a negative value status (which I find improbable in real life objects).
The valuation of the objects are a little bit more unreliable because the characteristics of money is that it is:
Uniform (5 pesos is 5 pesos, 1 dollar is 1 dollar regardless of person)
Value (it is seen as a transfer of value) (This replaced barter since barter requires the "coincidence of wants" which means Person A wants what Person B has and vice versa. This doesn't always happen, thus the need of a universal transfer of value: currency)
Portability (can carried around)
Durability (not perishable)
So what currencies do we have in Reverse 1999? Well it seems that we have: Clear Drops and Sharpodonties.
Dust is not a currency since it is a transfer of energy NOT a transfer of value. So it is more like a power up snack. It seems to be a gatherable resource from arcane energy.
(Does it have anything to do with Apeiron?)
Anyways, back to the two currencies, it is clear that Clear Drops are considered more valuable than Sharpodonties. It might have something to do with the storm since it's shape seems to be going up. At the same time, it appears to be like crystal...so like gold currency perhaps?
Sharpodonties, in the other hand, are the more commonly mentioned, used, and exchanged currency.
It seems to be a universal and exclusive arcanist currency that is used by arcanists around the world.
For example, Zima (Russian) and Kanjira (Indian) both use Sharpodonties.
It seems like it wasn't always this appearance since Sharpodonties underwent currency evolution like other currencies do. In Melania's event, she was in charge of protecting the Mainedonty.
The Donty currency family have a collective characteristic to bite and to sense arcane blood. The Sharpodonty then becomes a perfect currency for exclusive use by Arcanists. It is portable, valued, durable, and assumes a uniform form. Surprisingly enough, it is also...edible.
If we look into some stories, you would see that Sharpodonties are listed amongst ledgers.
In Medpoc's 2nd story, it is basically a ledger of their expenses:
Pioneer, who is a businessman, also seems to use US Dollars and Sharpodonties at the same time for transactions.
Now the question is: What is the exchange rate between a US Dollar and a Sharpodonty?
It is not always clear because we have to account for inflation, supply and demand, and other factors. But I have a clue.
Looking back at Medicine Pocket's ledgers, they listed different items that they purchased with Sharpodonties. Let us use DOG TOYS as an example using this example from real life:
Given:
$ 3.30 per 1 teething dog toy (real life)
o 40 per 15 dog toys (Medpoc)
Question: What is the exchange rate between US Dollars and Sharpodonties?
Let's determine the price of the dog toy in the 1990s.
We can reasonably assume that the exchange rate between Arcanist currency and dollars will change depending on the state of US currency. Using equivalent exchange, I determined that the price of a teething dog toy is $1.36 dollars per dog toy in the 1990s.
2. Find the rate of Sharpodonties per dog toy.
This will help both currencies have a comparable object to compare prices to. Let us summarize Sharpodonties into an abbreviation called ACS (Arcanist Sharpodonty) using the same naming convention used in real life currencies. 1 dog toy is equivalent to 2.67 ACS or 1.36 USD.
3. Find exchange rate.
Using equivalent exchange again, we can determine that the exhange rate between ACS and USD is:
1 ACS = 0.51 USD in the 1990s(forgive my error, the exchange rate from 1 USD to ACS is 1 USD = 1.96 ACS NOT the other way around)
If we are to consider that Arcanist currency hasn't deflated in value but USD has, then the current exchange rate as of 2024 will be:
1 ACS = 1.23 USD or 1 USD = 0.81 ACS (0.80909091) which means that ACS has become a more valuable currency.
I converted the ACS to other modern day currencies of Russia and Great Britain.
That means that Zima's quill costs around 758.85 Russian Rubles today and Kanjira's headband costs around 73.17 Indian Rupees.
Digger's Bubble Glasses will then be around 65.05 British Pounds. Feel free to use this chart for converting the price of items that the characters have.
I didn't account for Clear Drops since 1) it is not an often used currency, 2) I have not seen a general (not handcrafted or unique item) item that I can compare to a real life item.
What does this mean when it comes to Vertin's income? She earns 9000 ACS everytime she goes to Mintage Aesthetics. This means she earns around 11,070 Dollars for each trip. She also has passive income. If she uses all her energy (let's say 7 times a day to account for 190 stamina) each day, she earns around $77,490 each day or around $2,324,700 a month. Of course, we are not accounting the passive income that she can earn from the Wilderness or from rewards or gifts.
In conclusion, Vertin and her gang are easily rolling in dough!
so basically notes on shuori is just people doing the vice ganda horse transformation
Regulus: Why does Vertin always do the laundry so loudly?
Sonetto: So everyone knows that no one helps her out in the suitcase.
Vertin, in the distance: *slams the washing machine shut*
This is what I've been up to when I was gone.
Vertin leveling up Arcanists is just this meme
I accept this and this is now real
Well, if that's the case
37🤝Balloon Party
Biters 😭
Which reminds me. A long while back, I shipped Vertin and 37. The ship was named Verti7
I am still proud of how creative that is
It took me a minute to get it but I did it. Verti-7. Goddamn that's actually pretty smart.
37 making a deal with Balloon Party to go and bite Regulus for eating beans. The sin of sins... And balloon Party was feeling silly that evening.
Regulus didn't enjoy that day and she still gets nightmares.
A formidable duo... Beanhater37 and Evil! Balloon Party will bite your forehead and there's nothing you can do to stop them
voice of unknown origin
This idea came to me in a vision apologies if somebody else did this already

Vertin Reverse 1999 // Rayuela, Julio Cortázar
The Mandela Effect
Theory on R1999 so spoilers for 2.2, spoilers for 1.9 and onwards. This is not Global Friendly especially for 1.9 and 2.2.
This will only make sense if you have gone through the first three patches of 2.0.
This will be major major spoilers for 2.2 for the implications this has so anyone following CN servers feel free to message me about this.
(May Vertin nui block the spoilers!)
Alright then.
The Mandela Effect is the type of memory that occurs when different people incorrectly remember the same thing, eg if the Monoploy man wore a monocle at all, logos having a different design in comparison to how some people remember it.
2.2 introduce us to Mr Duncan, a Zeno military veteran who lives in Sao Paulo. Both Sotheby AND Vertin both mistaken Mr Duncan for Mr Karson, and remember either of them had a chance to take a photo of Mr Karson or anyone else in 1929 before the Storm occurred. Duncan mentions having a war friend of his who had a child near Sotheby's age. This seems to concidental to be a throwaway line. Appearance wise their eyes look the same but I hear you ask, but Mr Karson looks older in 1929 and its confirmed 2.2 occurs in 1990s how can they be the same person?
See Paulina from 2.0: she is the one mentioned in Book 4 by the narrator, someone who was caught by the Storm and only her hand remained. We meet her brother Joe in 2.0 who goes to confirm her "death", sees her leftover hand (wow not expecting that) and then looks at her photo and immediately thinks the Foundation was lying. In some sense their are two Paulinas here, the one Joe remembers and the one the Foundation remembers but more or less are the same person.
Vertin with Mr Duncan has outright confirmed that:
One Mr Duncan is in fact Mr Karson, that there are multiple instances where people or events have been altered from recorded history.
Two.
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REVERSED DO NOT DIE IN THE STORM!
With Marcus and Heinrich we confirm the Storms do not just make time go backwards but instead reverse a certain era to a different period, just not beyond 1999. Therefore we can for example, be in the 1950s and be reversed to 1980s but never going past 1999.
We confirm that the Grandfather Paradox does not apply to this world, so killing someone in one time will not necessarily led to the death of their family line.
The Storm can be accelerated by causing or accelerating critical points in history, leading to them happening earlier than expected = changing the original timeline.
So what if the Storm reversing places to completely different era backwards and forwards actually does the same to people?
Take Mr Karson: the 1929 Storm could have flung 'him' into the 1990s, his core history of being a war veteran would not change but now he isnt looking after Sotheby instead lives in Sao Paulo. Being flung into the 1990s has caused a butterfly effect in a sense to his own history: what if he remained in Sao Paulo at the end of his war service for example?
R1999 is playing with the Mandela Effect here: the Foundation will remember recorded history prior to the first Storm, and now history is being slightly altered by the Storm. The changes would eventually become so often and with so many to record the true original history may be forgotten entirely. It will become harder to tell what was the original until that new altered history becomes the memory incorrectly remembered by others.
So all victims of the Storm are not dead then are flung to different eras and places, slightly altered but in essence that original person. However it would be hard to investigate what would happen if a person were to be caught in multiple Storms, reverse in one and again in another (maybe thats what is happening to Martha Urd Bessmert)
Someone like Schneider then would still be alive somewhere, maybe in Italy, maybe a little bit different but in essence the same one we met in 1929 but doesn't know us. Same goes for Isabella, the Ring, people of Aperion and etc etc. Maybe we met 888 before she ever found the island, see the Ring potentially at the age he would be now in Scotland since he is implied to be Scottish.
This opens up the table for any of the people Vertin had met in the past to met them again.
Playable Schnieder or at the very least her return is no longer off the table and very possible now, this doesn't take away the impact of her 'death' as likely she will have no recollection of the time spent with Vertin and co, they did just meet within 24 hours. (BP would be so cruel if we met her in an Orange farm in Italy).
(I need a second opinion on us tbh, 2.2 at the end was really dropping huge things to set up the 2.0 story wow)
😭😭😭
It's a flavour of Monster, an energy drink
It's not sold in McDonald's ironically enough 😭
On another note, think of the profit of Picrasma energy drinks (and how much Vertin's liver will suffer 😭)
I am not a fan of the design. To the shredder.
Oh God you have no idea how many empty cans of that would be scattered around the suitcase. Like Lilya's alcohol consumption or Regulus Dr. Pepper (idk how that's actually written) addiction, girl has so many or those in her fridge, under her bed, in her pockets, under her hat.
Oh my God the suitcase has NEVER had such an outage in money because of Vertin's addiction to it.
It gets banned after a while (Madam Z wrote a letter to the distributors to stop making the drink, for Vertin's safety) and Vertin has to go back to eating candy when her almost unlimited amount of Picrasma Candy Energy drinks becomes limited.
And Tooth Fairy has never been filled with so much bottled rage before.
(Vertin did try to get in contact with the company who made them but they couldn't do any other Picrasma Candy Energy drinks because the foundation prohibited it)
So I know this is a reference to Kakanias unlicensed clinic...
But they really couldn't have made it sound more like she was having a bunch of affairs if they tried.
The Spinning Wheel and Suitcase
So silly post about Vertin's name has me rethinking early game stuff (yippee)
Thinking about how the disk wasnt probably talking to the player but Vertin about her name.
Then.
What about the line when you first spin the wheel? Something along the lines of "spin the wheel as you have done many times before"
Again maybe we all assume its the player in a meta sense they are referring to but I lean towards the voice is asking to Vertin (again someone talking to her not an in-game instruction)
What do you mean "as you have done before", I mean Vertin does imply prior to the Prologue she never went outside of the lobby area to the Wilderness until then, probably even less time inside of the suitcase since she mentions she had to discover its capabilities over time and still is.
People already have theorised the multiple timelines stuff but I wont rehash here - the main thing Im looking at is the "again". Does that mean Vertin has spun the wheel before? Shes not seem entirely familiar with it when we see it in the Prologue.
Again who was the original owner of the suitcase? The Foundation wanting to test it in Book 4 shows they did not necessarily create it. If Vertin was given it then the Foundation at least knew the role of Timekeeper needed this suitcase for whatever reason. Was it her mother? The incantation is in Esperanto so maybe?
(You think sometimes Vertin spins the wheel in hope someone reversed may show up?)
(Its also interesting she is the only one immune to the water's effects, and the water is implied to have properties of the Storm - probably the only true place Vertin can be alone in)
Im running with the assumption its her mother's and maybe it was agreed since the Foundation probably had contact with her mother (I mean Vertin was found there) that Vertin when she was "ready" (Breakaway Incident "ready") she would receive the suitcase and be given the incantation.
I need to hear people's fav reverse 1999 ships because I NEED to find more ships to ship 😔. Most of the ships I ship are straight and I need to branch out 😭🙏
at the end of the day, the main story is just arcana hating on lesbians and vertins polyclue
:>
I adore rarepairs lol o7
MedPoc: ...I mean. Yeah, I'm happy for ya or whatever but. Vertin??
Mesmer: No offence. But you haven't dated anyone. Get real.
Vertin is the cure for Mesmer's anxiety, in a cute way.
Much like the colour for green in French, Vert, she makes Mesmer sick /aff
You might be the reason I start liking rare pairs...
What's up with the MedPoc hate Mesmer? Nahhh
This could go the other way too actually
Lilya: heh, I'm glad you're back in the dating department, Vertin. But... Mesmer Jr? Really?
Vertin: She's actually a really nice person
Lilya: Mesmer Jr?
Does anyone know what will happen to my progress if I delete r1999? I've been trying to update the game, I even had to delete my apps but it keeps saying I need to clear my space. Because of that I'll be uninstalling it then reinstalling. Okay now we got that out if they way; Will I be able to keep my account data? I read somewhere that their acc got reset to the beginning of the game because they might've used a their FB acc instead of their email or Google acc, so I'm kind of worried I'll lose all my progress, characters, etc.
If there's an alternative solution that's free, please share.
damn girl relax
Trying to get back to drawing again, and this was supposed to be that one popular reference lately also supposed to be vertin but i got lazy with the hair and the bun is kinda hard so 😔🤧
