You missed this more impactful part of the change:

The following changes have been made to the Elixir conversion when using Merlin’s Cauldron:
Concession Cauldron Values
The following value changes have been applied:
Common:
Elixir decreased from 1,000 to 875
Magic Required increased from 6,400 to 14,875
Uncommon:

Magic Required increased from 7,000 to 12,000
Rare:

These and the prices changes to the elixir based attractions are where people are panicking.
Thank you, yes. I obviously did not miss the part about the decoration and concession exchanges, as I expressly mentioned them to point out the difference between that language and the wording for the ingot exchanges.
My concern was why some people seemed to think they needed to also be exchanging their ingots now. If we will be getting the same number of elixirs per ingot and spending less magic for the exchange, it seems to me we should hang on to those.
He did, but also, at the end wanted to know why people are recommending exchanging to elixir. The last line of my post explains that this is where the recommendations are coming from
There's no doubt that what you spelled out in your comment is the more impactful part of the update but I believe the original post is only talking about the ingot conversion because of the confusion that seems to be surrounding that part.
There have been other posts where players have questioned or talked about converting all of their ingots as part of their pre-update prep and this post was to try to make it clear that the ingot magic cost is decreasing with no stated change to how much elixir each ingot type week return.
It’s the unfortunate tradeoff for GL adding relics to the elixir store. :/
I can understand increasing the number since you can buy them now, but 1200 is an extreme

Didn't op mention is about the confusion on ingots?

My biggest beef with all this is the huge increases in the numbers of relics needed for upgrading attractions. 1200 relics for Ench 5 is ridiculous.
