120 Fast PoE2 Currency Farming Guide FREE

In Path of Exile 2, currency is the backbone of progress, power, and trading. Whether you're crafting endgame gear, upgrading gems, or trading with other players, having enough PoE 2 currency can make all the difference. As someone who’s spent hundreds of hours in both PoE and now PoE 2, I’ve learned that a smart strategy can dramatically increase your earnings. This article outlines reliable, effective ways to earn more currency based on experience and tested methods.

Fast PoE2 Currency Farming Guide FREE

1. Farm High-Value Zones with Dense Packs

In PoE 2, certain maps and zones are known to spawn dense packs of monsters, which directly translates to more drops and more chances of earning currency items like Orbs of Alteration, Chaos Orbs, and crafting materials. Look for zones that:

  • Have strong modifiers (like extra magic monsters or increased quantity)
  • Contain league-specific content like shrines, altars, or breach zones

Personally, I farmed the Ruined Fortress area repeatedly because the mob density is high, and rare mobs seem to drop valuable currency more consistently.

2. Focus on League Mechanics That Generate Currency

Every new league introduces mechanics that can be highly profitable. In PoE 2, content like Rituals, Incursions, and Heist-style encounters can offer huge payouts. Pick one or two league mechanics that you enjoy and master them. I made a good amount of Chaos Orbs early in the league just by focusing on a few Ritual encounters and understanding how to reroll the rewards efficiently.

3. Sell Valuable Items to Other Players

Use trade websites or in-game trade tools to sell:

  • High-tier bases
  • 5 or 6-linked items
  • Meta skill gems (especially with quality)
  • Unique items in high demand

Learning basic pricing is key. At first, I undersold some gear, but over time I learned to price check properly and earned much more from each drop. Tools like trade macros or PoE trade extensions can speed up the process.

4. Use Vendor Recipes

Many players overlook vendor recipes, but they are a steady source of specific currencies. Some examples include:

  • Chromatic Orbs: Sell items with RGB sockets linked
  • Chaos Orbs: Sell a full set of unidentified rare gear (item level 60–74)
  • Regal Orbs: Sell a full set of identified rare gear (item level 75+)

When I’m leveling a new character, I always collect gear with these recipes in mind, and it helps me stay funded without relying on trades.

5. Run Maps with Increased Quantity and Rarity

Mapping remains the most consistent currency generator. Optimize your maps by:

  • Using Orb of Alchemy to turn them rare
  • Rolling for high item quantity and pack size
  • Using Sextants and Scarabs when possible

I noticed that simply upgrading a white map to a rare map and choosing the right modifiers gave me almost 30–50% more currency drops per run.

6. Join Rotations or Public Groups

Party play often increases loot and efficiency. You can join:

  • Public mapping rotations
  • League-specific content groups (e.g., Delirium or Blight parties)
  • Discord communities that schedule farming runs

I joined a currency farming rotation one weekend, and in just three hours, I earned enough Chaos and Exalted Orbs to fund my next two upgrades.

7. Flip Currency on the Market

If you’re comfortable with trading, flipping currency can be highly profitable. For example:

  • Buy Chaos Orbs when the price drops
  • Trade for Exalted Orbs and resell when the price goes up

It takes some patience, but with careful observation, you can make solid profit margins. I used to monitor market fluctuations daily for 30 minutes, and even that small window netted me consistent gains.

8. Don’t Waste Currency on Early Crafts

Save your high-tier currency (like Exalted, Divine, or Annulment Orbs) for endgame crafting. It’s tempting to spend them early, but it’s rarely worth it. Early on, I burned through several high-value orbs crafting on low-tier bases. Lesson learned—save those orbs for serious upgrades or trades.

9. Use Your Loot Filter Efficiently

An up-to-date loot filter helps you identify valuable currency and crafting bases. It can save you time and ensure you never miss a Mirror Shard or Divine Orb drop. I recommend using custom filters from FilterBlade and modifying them based on your farming method.

10. Stay Informed and Adapt

Watch currency guides and meta updates from streamers and the community. What’s valuable today might not be tomorrow. I remember one league where a certain scarab skyrocketed in price overnight. Because I had a few saved up, I sold them quickly and made a massive profit.

11. Specialize in One Farming Strategy

Instead of spreading your effort across too many methods, consider specializing in one proven farming strategy. Whether that’s Delirium mapping, Fossil farming in the Azurite Mine, or boss rushing, focusing your time and investment into mastering a single strategy often leads to much higher returns.

In my case, I focused on Blight maps for a full week—after learning the tower placements and which oils yield the best loot, I was able to average several Exalted Orbs worth of currency each day. Specialization lets you scale efficiency and predict outcomes.

12. Farm Essences and Crafting Materials

Essences are often underrated but can be very valuable, especially early in the league when gear crafting demand is high. Target Essence monsters on your atlas tree, and use your essences wisely:

  • Sell high-tier ones (Essence of Horror, Delirium, etc.)
  • Use mid-tier ones on useful item bases to craft and resell

I used several Deafening Essences of Greed early in the league to craft budget life gear, which sold quickly to other players looking for leveling upgrades.

13. Leverage Atlas Passive Tree for Currency Boosts

Your Atlas Passive Tree is a powerful tool for currency farming. Allocate nodes that enhance mechanics like:

  • Strongboxes (increased loot quantity and duplication chance)
  • Harvest (valuable crafts and tradeable Lifeforce)
  • Delirium (increased Simulacrum splinters and loot)

In one setup, I focused on Harvest and Strongboxes, which resulted in a steady stream of Chaos Orbs and valuable Lifeforce. I even had several maps drop 2–3 Divine Orbs across multiple runs.

14. Harvest Craft and Sell

Harvest crafting is more accessible and profitable than many realize. If you specialize your Atlas for Harvest, you can gain access to valuable crafts like:

  • Remove/Add (for min-maxing mods)
  • Augment (used in high-end gear crafting)
  • Reforge with a prefix/suffix guarantee

Many of these crafts can be sold in bulk via community Discords or trade websites. I once sold several "Reforge Keep Suffixes" crafts to a mirror-tier crafter for high returns in Divine Orbs.

15. Flip Unique Items Based on Demand

Not all Unique items are worthless. Some are heavily used in meta builds and can skyrocket in price. Monitor build guides and trade sites to find these trends. For example:

  • A build using Skin of the Lords or Mageblood will always push demand
  • Newly buffed or reworked Uniques become hot items each patch

I remember when a streamer popularized a build using Death's Rush—it went from 1 Chaos to 20 Chaos in less than two days. If you identify trends early, you can flip Uniques for huge profit.

16. Avoid “Trap” Investments in Early League

Be cautious not to dump your entire currency pool into speculative investments too early. Some examples of poor early-game decisions include:

  • Overpaying for Uniques that drop in value
  • Investing in build-specific gear before your build is stable
  • Trying to craft without understanding mod pools

I once spent over 100 Chaos crafting a bow on day 3, only to realize the market price dropped sharply the next day due to meta changes. Playing safe with your early currency can give you more room to maneuver later.

17. Sell Leveling Gear and Services

Leveling gear (like Goldrim, Lifesprig, Tabula Rasa) and services (like lab carries or boss kills) are always in demand. By collecting useful leveling Uniques or offering quick services, you can earn a consistent stream of currency with minimal investment.

I ran Uber Lab for others every day for a week in one league. Between the drops and the payment (usually in Chaos or Exalted Orbs), I consistently earned more than I did from solo mapping.

18. Use Loot-Splitting Tools and Track Drops

Keeping track of your farming sessions can help you optimize strategies. Some players use spreadsheets to track:

  • Currency earned per map
  • Best maps for returns
  • Drop frequency of high-value items

This might seem tedious, but I found that simply tracking my Chaos/hour rate motivated me and helped refine my strategy. I learned to stop running certain maps that felt good but didn’t actually pay out.

19. Resell Flasks, Jewels, and Cluster Jewels

These are often overlooked but can fetch great value:

  • Life and Quicksilver flasks with perfect suffixes (like “of Heat” or “of Adrenaline”)
  • Abyssal Jewels with flat damage + life mods
  • Cluster Jewels with meta notable passives

I once sold a Medium Cluster Jewel with “Brush with Death” for over 5 Divine Orbs—it dropped from a Delirium map and looked average at first glance. Learning the market for jewels can uncover hidden profits.

20. Stay Consistent and Avoid Burnout

Lastly, consistency is more important than volume in one sitting. Don’t try to farm 10 hours a day if you’ll burn out in a week. Instead, do 1–2 focused hours a day with clear goals.

I personally found that setting a daily goal (like “Earn 100 Chaos today through Blight maps”) kept me focused, helped me avoid unnecessary expenses, and made the grind feel rewarding.

21. Optimize Inventory Management for Faster Runs

One underrated tip that significantly improves your currency generation is efficient inventory management. When you're farming fast, time spent going back to town or sifting through loot can cut into your profits.

Here’s how I optimized mine:

  • Use a strict loot filter so you only pick up valuable currency and bases.
  • Organize your stash tabs—have dedicated tabs for currency, maps, crafting bases, and sellable gear.
  • Set up a sell tab with premium trade tabs to list items quickly.

Once I cleaned up my stash and organized gear better, I shaved off 10–15 minutes of downtime per hour, directly increasing the number of maps I could run—and the currency I could earn.

22. Upgrade Your Character Wisely

Your character’s power directly impacts your farming efficiency. The stronger and faster your build, the more content you can clear, and the more loot you generate. But instead of overspending on flashy gear, prioritize upgrades that give:

  • Better survivability (life, resists, chaos resistance)
  • Faster clear speed (area damage, movement speed)
  • More sustain (leech, regen, recovery flasks)

For instance, one league I focused on movement speed upgrades like crafted boots with +30% movement and added Onslaught from a flask. That alone boosted my clear speed, which increased my maps/hour and overall income.

23. Use Scarabs and Sextants Strategically

Once you’re established and have a decent pool of currency, consider reinvesting into higher returns using Scarabs and Sextants:

  • Polished or Gilded Scarabs can multiply map returns significantly
  • Scarabs for Divination Cards, Legion, or Metamorph are especially valuable
  • Sextants can add mechanics like additional monsters or duplicated currency

I ran a Burial Chambers + Divination Scarab + strongbox setup for a weekend and consistently profited thanks to The Doctor card drops and currency duplication from Operative’s Strongboxes.

24. Target Farm Divination Cards

Certain Divination Cards are highly valuable and farmable in specific maps. For example:

  • The Doctor (Burial Chambers)
  • Abandoned Wealth (Vault)
  • Saint’s Treasure (Arcade)

I once targeted just The Hoarder card by running Museum maps repeatedly. It added a long-term currency stream I could depend on, and the card drops felt like little jackpots that kept motivation high.

25. Engage with the Community to Learn New Tricks

No matter how experienced you are, the PoE community is full of players discovering new tricks every day. Join Reddit discussions, Discord servers, or follow YouTube/Twitch content creators to stay current.

By watching a YouTuber’s guide to Expedition farming, I was able to reroute my entire farming method mid-league and doubled my Chaos/hour overnight. Being connected to the community gives you faster access to high-efficiency methods.

26. Master the Crafting Bench and Mod Priority

Even if you’re not crafting full gear, understanding the crafting bench can help you:

  • Fix resistances on valuable rares
  • Add movement speed to boots to increase sellability
  • Improve a base item just enough to make it marketable

Once I learned what buyers looked for (like +1 to skill gems or resist cap boosters), I began lightly crafting dropped gear before listing it. The difference in price was often 2x or more for just one mod.

27. Farm Bosses That Drop Consistent Currency

Some bosses have high-value loot that can be farmed repeatedly. Consider targeting:

  • Conquerors for Watchstones
  • Elder/Guardian maps for rare Uniques
  • Maven invitations for boss drops and Maven’s Writs

When I farmed Cortex maps, I sold Memory Vault helmets and Awakened gems, which brought in consistent Exalted Orbs. Boss farming requires a good build and map investment, but the payoff can be huge.

28. Use a Flip Character (Optional)

Some players create a character specifically built for safe bossing or fast clearing. For example:

  • A lab runner for Uber Lab (Juggernaut or Pathfinder)
  • A clear-speed farmer for maps (Deadeye or Trickster)
  • A tanky build for endgame bosses

I built a budget Deadeye purely for mapping. While it wasn’t my favorite playstyle, it allowed me to farm Chaos Orbs at more than twice the rate of my main character. Having a specialized alt character can multiply your currency farming options.

29. Understand the Value of Corrupted Items

Many players ignore corrupted items, but they can hold massive value. Examples include:

  • +1 gem corrupted bows, amulets, or gloves
  • 6-link corrupted gear for crafting bases
  • Unique items with strong corrupted implicits

One time, I found a corrupted gloves drop with +1 level to projectile gems—it sold for over 2 Divine Orbs because it was perfect for a Ballista build. Get into the habit of identifying corrupted items or price checking them.

30. Stick to a Farming Routine and Avoid FOMO

The biggest trap in Path of Exile 2 is constantly switching strategies because of fear of missing out. While adapting is good, jumping between strategies too quickly often leads to loss of focus and inefficient profits.

Find a method that suits your build, playstyle, and available time. When I stuck to running just Blight and Ritual for two weeks, I built up a huge currency pool without stress, and I avoided burnout. Consistency over novelty wins in the long run.

31. Invest in Bulk Trading for Stable Profits

Bulk trading is one of the most underrated but reliable ways to grow your PoE 2 currency. Instead of selling individual items, focus on trading stacks of commonly used materials like:

  • Chaos Orbs
  • Essences
  • Sextants
  • Scarabs
  • Maps or Fragments

I personally found great success buying undervalued Essences in bulk, especially when other players were panic-selling early in the league. I held onto them for a few days and sold them during high demand — earning up to 30–50% margin on bulk deals.

Platforms like Path of Exile Trade or Discord bulk trading servers help facilitate this. It’s not flashy, but it’s consistent.

32. Profit from Gem Leveling

Many support and skill gems increase significantly in value at level 20 (and even more if quality is added). This opens up a passive income stream:

  • Equip popular gems early and let them level naturally
  • Sell level 20 or 20/20 gems on the trade market

In past leagues, I always had a secondary gear set filled with gems like Enlighten, Empower, or high-demand support gems. Just by playing normally, I could sell them later for several Chaos Orbs or even a Divine.

33. Join a Currency-Focused Guild or Community

Guilds and trade communities can open the door to:

  • Group-farming sessions
  • Faster trades
  • Shared loot rotations
  • Market insights and price tracking

I joined a Discord group that specialized in Simulacrum farming. They helped me understand splinter economics and how to run wave 20 consistently. The extra help and guidance boosted my income and cut my learning curve drastically.

34. Exploit Crafting Bench Profits

Sometimes, simply crafting a missing affix on an item can drastically raise its market value. Examples include:

  • Adding movement speed to boots
  • Adding life to a chest piece
  • Adding resists or attributes to rare rings and amulets

One league, I bought a decent set of boots with only three stats for 8 Chaos. I added +30% movement speed with the bench and relisted them for 35 Chaos. They sold within an hour. That’s a 4x profit for less than one minute of effort.

35. Farm Uber Lab for Enchants and Loot

While Uber Lab isn’t as flashy as newer content, it’s still a goldmine—especially for enchant-specific items. Helmets with top-tier enchants like:

  • +2 to Toxic Rain Arrows
  • Arc gains 50% increased damage
  • Blade Vortex has 10% increased duration

Can be sold for dozens of Chaos or even Divine Orbs.

I once dedicated two full days to Uber Lab farming. I earned multiple Exalted Orbs’ worth of loot between lab-exclusive chests, jewels, and high-demand enchants. It’s easy to do with a properly built Juggernaut or Pathfinder.

36. Sell Early League Crafting Bases

At the start of every league, good item bases sell extremely well—especially influenced items or rare base types. Popular examples include:

  • 86+ ilvl two-tone boots
  • Shaper/Elder base weapons
  • Fractured items

If you can farm tier 14–16 maps early, you’ll have access to these bases while demand is still high. I remember selling a fractured amulet with a +dex roll early in the league for 2 Divine Orbs. Two days later, it was worth only 40 Chaos.

37. Use Efficient Movement Skills to Maximize Clear Speed

Faster clearing = more loot per hour = more currency. Don’t overlook the power of proper movement skills:

  • Flame Dash for precision and utility
  • Shield Charge or Leap Slam for speed and map traversal
  • Frostblink or Dash for tight movement during mapping

By switching from Flame Dash to Shield Charge with Fortify support, I increased my mapping speed and overall efficiency. I was clearing 10–12 maps per hour instead of 7–8. That 30% bump in speed meant 30% more loot.

38. Spec Your Atlas Tree for Passive Income

The Atlas passive tree allows you to passively gain currency without needing to invest anything extra. Popular passive income nodes include:

  • Additional strongboxes (with duplication chance)
  • League mechanic reinforcements (like Harvest or Legion)
  • Currency duplication modifiers

I remember one league where I picked the Delirium and Strongbox clusters, and I was showered with currency without needing to invest Scarabs or Sextants. Passive income builds like this are great for casual players.

39. Avoid Unnecessary Upgrades Mid-League

Currency loss often comes from players constantly upgrading their gear mid-league. Here’s a better approach:

  • Set specific goals for upgrades (e.g., “next gear upgrade must be +20% DPS”)
  • Use Path of Building to test if the upgrade is really worth the price
  • Save large investments for key moments (like switching to endgame content or bossing)

I used to chase tiny upgrades like 10 flat armor or +5 chaos res and waste Divine Orbs. Once I started saving for meaningful gear leaps instead, my build scaled faster, and I had way more currency left over.

40. Resell Popular Crafted Items

If you have a basic understanding of crafting, you can mass-produce and resell budget gear. Examples include:

  • Spell scepters with +1 to lightning/fire skills
  • Cluster jewels with only the top notable (sell unrolled)
  • Fractured bases + crafted life/resists

One of my most profitable strategies was crafting +1 lightning skill wands using essence + harvest reforges. Even if they weren’t perfect, they sold fast to budget players.

41. Flip Flasks and Watch Their Value Rise

Flasks, especially utility flasks with the right affixes, are incredibly valuable and often overlooked as currency-making opportunities. Look for or craft flasks with:

  • “of Adrenaline” (increased movement speed)
  • “of Heat” (immunity to freeze)
  • “of Warding” (curse immunity)

These suffixes are in constant demand for mapping and bossing. I’ve made consistent Chaos by buying decent flasks and rerolling them with Orbs of Alteration and Augmentation to hit desirable mods, then listing them on trade. Some high-end flasks with perfect rolls can go for several Divines.

42. Use Heist to Farm Contracts and Blueprints

Heist content in PoE 2 continues to be profitable for several reasons:

  • Contracts and Blueprints can be sold directly
  • Rogue’s Markers are useful and tradable
  • Heist-exclusive Uniques and Replica items can sell for huge profits

What worked for me was farming “Lockpicking” and “Counter-Thaumaturgy” contracts, which tend to yield a good amount of currency per run. I also ran high-value Blueprints with curated wings and sold most of the loot raw—no need to over-optimize if you know what to look for.

43. Take Advantage of Limited-Time Events or Buffs

GGG frequently launches limited-time events such as Race Seasons, Gauntlets, or Flashback leagues. These events have boosted loot rates, unique modifiers, and an economy that resets. They’re a goldmine for early adopters.

I joined a Flashback event where monsters had three league modifiers active, and within a day, I had more Exalted drops than an entire week of standard mapping. Being early and prepared for these events can earn you big currency gains.

44. Craft and Sell Resist-Capped Gear

Resistance-capped rares are always in demand—players need life, movement speed, and enough resistances to hit elemental caps. Even mid-tier gear sells well if the suffixes are right.

I used to farm fractured boots with T1 Lightning Resist, then slam Essence of Zeal to get movement speed. After crafting life and maybe adding chaos resist, I sold each for 30–50 Chaos in the first week. These gear pieces don’t need to be perfect—just functional and affordable.

45. Play the Market During Patch Notes

Every patch introduces balance changes that affect builds and items. Savvy traders study patch notes and:

  • Hoard buffed Uniques
  • Buy out skills that are expected to rise in popularity
  • Invest in crafting bases used in new meta builds

After a patch hinted at buffs to Cold DoT builds, I stocked up on Cold Damage cluster jewels and +1 cold spell skill weapons. Within 24 hours of the league starting, I sold them for double or triple the buying price. Early speculation is risky but can pay off big.

46. Farm Expedition for Logbooks and Artifacts

Expedition is one of the most profitable mechanics for currency farming if you learn the basics. Key profits come from:

  • Logbooks, which sell for Chaos or Divines
  • Artifacts, which can be used or traded for other currencies
  • Selling Tujen rerolls and exotic currency like Scrap Metal

When I focused on Tujen’s rerolls and artifact trading, I could make consistent currency without relying on RNG drops. The key is using explosives strategically and knowing which vendors are worth your time.

47. Capitalize on Early Map Progression

Being among the first to unlock red maps in a new league gives you a major advantage. Early mapping:

  • Opens up valuable maps that can be sold
  • Grants Atlas passive bonuses before most players
  • Offers unique drops not available in lower tiers

In one league, I rushed to tier 14+ maps and began selling high-quantity, high-pack-size Burial Chambers for Chaos while the price was high. Early access = early profit.

48. Convert Unused Currency into Investments

If you’re sitting on unused Orbs (like Transmutes, Augments, Regals, etc.), consider converting them into something that scales your economy:

  • Use Essences or Fossils to craft items
  • Trade bulk quantities to vendors for higher-value orbs (e.g., vendor recipe for Jeweller’s Orbs → Fusings)
  • Use secondary orbs (e.g., Glassblower’s Baubles) to enhance item value before selling

I once had hundreds of Orbs of Alchemy just sitting in my stash. I used them to roll white maps and sell them in bulk as quality rolled yellows. That simple move turned dormant currency into value.

49. Identify Profitable Divination Card Sets

Not all Divination Cards are expensive—but completed sets often are. Keep an eye out for partial sets that:

  • Sell well when combined
  • Drop in commonly farmed maps
  • Complete for in-demand Uniques or gear bases

For instance, collecting The Polymath cards and completing them for +1 amulets was surprisingly profitable. I completed a few sets and sold the final reward for double what the individual cards cost me.

50. Buy and Flip League Mechanic Scarabs

Scarabs tied to popular league mechanics are always in demand, especially early on:

  • Metamorph
  • Legion
  • Expedition
  • Harvest

I used to watch trade site trends and buy Polished Legion Scarabs in bulk at 2 Chaos each, then relist them in stacks for 3–4 Chaos when they trended upward. The volume and speed made this a profitable and low-risk investment method.

51. Flip Fragment Sets and Boss Access Keys

Fragments like:

  • Sacrifice at Dusk/Dawn/Noon/Midnight
  • Mortal Fragments (Hope, Grief, Rage, Ignorance)
  • Offering to the Goddess
  • Shaper/Elder Fragments

Can all be flipped for steady profits, especially during peak boss farming cycles. For example, I would buy cheap single Sacrifice fragments and turn them into full Sacrifice Sets to run Atziri or sell the set at a markup.

Similarly, running Uber Lab with Offerings and selling the loot + enchants always brought in extra Chaos.

52. Farm Rare Bases with Influences

Influenced gear (Shaper, Elder, Crusader, Hunter, etc.) is essential for crafting endgame items. These influenced bases, especially at item level 84+, are often sold at high prices.

I ran high-tier maps with Elder/Crusader influence activated and sold any decent bases that dropped—often at prices between 20–100 Chaos depending on the type. Even if you don’t craft yourself, other players will pay premium for good bases.

53. Utilize Kirac Missions for Free Profit

Kirac's map missions provide access to:

  • Atlas progression
  • Bonus maps without using your own
  • League mechanics like Delirium, Breach, or Legion

I used to reroll Kirac’s inventory with Scouting Reports until he offered maps with high-profit mechanics. These missions don’t require your own map pool or Sextants, making them an easy and free source of profit, especially early in the league.

54. Craft and Sell Leveling Gear

There is always a market for leveling items, especially for players rushing to endgame. Craft and flip budget gear like:

  • +1 to fire/cold/lightning spell wands
  • Life + resists rings and belts
  • 4-link gear with correct socket colors for meta builds

In my experience, I sold dozens of +1 fire spell wands with added spell damage and faster casting for 5–10 Chaos each. Players don’t mind paying for power-leveling speed, especially early in the league.

55. Use Prophecies (if available)

While Prophecies are not always active in PoE 2, when available, they can be a powerful passive income tool. Some of the profitable ones include:

  • Fated Connections (guaranteed 6-link)
  • Trash to Treasure (turn a normal item into a Unique)
  • The Queen's Sacrifice (upgrades map boss encounter)

Back when prophecies were more active, I earned over 5 Divines in one week simply by buying Prophecy coins, running high-value prophecies, and selling the results. If this system returns in PoE 2, it’ll definitely be worth your attention.

56. Sell Gear with “Crafting Potential”

Sometimes, items with just one fractured mod or a desirable base + open suffixes can be sold to crafters. For example:

  • A pair of gloves with T1 Attack Speed + Open Prefixes
  • A ring with Fractured Life and open resist suffixes

Even though these weren’t usable by my own build, I listed them as crafting bases and sold them for 1–3 Divines each to min-maxers looking to slam expensive crafts. Don’t vendor potentially great bases—price check them first.

57. Run Uber Bosses for High-End Loot

Uber bosses like:

  • Uber Elder
  • Maven
  • Shaper
  • Uber Atziri

Drop exclusive, highly valuable loot such as:

  • Awakened Gems
  • Watcher's Eye
  • Forbidden Flesh/Flame jewels

When my build was strong enough, I started running Maven weekly. Even if I didn’t get the most expensive drops, I averaged 2–4 Divines in profit per fight between splinters, Uniques, and Awakened gems.

58. Monitor “Buy Low, Sell High” Crafting Trends

There are consistent cycles of item demand:

  • Early league: leveling gear, currency, scarabs
  • Mid-league: endgame bases, crafted Uniques
  • Late league: mirror-tier gear, perfect flasks, alt builds

Study when to buy and when to sell. I once bought 20+ Lethal Pride timeless jewels in week 1 for 10 Chaos each and sold them in week 3 for 70 Chaos as the meta shifted.

59. Flip Quality Currency and Gemcutter's Prisms

Leveling gems to 20 and using Gemcutter's Prisms to hit 20/20 quality before selling is a reliable strategy:

  • Level high-demand gems
  • Use GCPs to upgrade to 20/20
  • Sell or use them for profit-enhancing crafts

In one league, I created and sold 20/20 Aura Gems (like Determination, Grace, etc.) for 1–2 Divines each. It’s slow but passive—just equip and play.

60. Play Efficiently: Use Tools and Macros

Efficiency = profit. Consider using:

  • Loot filters (FilterBlade)
  • Trade macros (Awakened PoE Trade)
  • Inventory management addons (like stash organizers)
  • Price check extensions

I used to waste a lot of time checking prices manually. After I added Awakened PoE Trade, I could instantly price items and flip more gear confidently, leading to much higher profits with less guesswork.

61. Flip Base Types with Good Implicit Stats

Some base items in PoE 2 have powerful implicit stats that make them valuable for crafting or endgame builds, especially when:

  • They are item level 84+
  • They’re corrupted with desirable implicits
  • They have high demand among meta builds

For example, a Hubris Circlet with +% energy shield and ilvl 84 is a prime crafting base for CI builds. I once flipped several ilvl 86 Titan Gauntlets for double the price just because they had fractured strength and a clean suffix pool. Always price check clean but high-quality bases before vendoring them.

62. Farm Specific Bosses for Unique Drops

Certain bosses drop specific Uniques that retain high value throughout the league. Examples include:

  • Sirus: Awakener drops like Awakened Support Gems
  • The Maven: Maven's Writ, Awakened Gems
  • Uber Atziri: Atziri's Reflection, Triumvirate Authority
  • Shaper: Dying Sun, Starforge

These drops are often build-defining. By learning the fight mechanics and building a boss killer, I created a weekly farm route that steadily produced Divines—even when the market was down.

63. Sell White 6-Links

A white 6-linked item is always in demand for crafting. Even if the base is mediocre, many players will buy them to use their own crafting methods. You can:

  • Sell directly
  • Use them for vendor recipes
  • Corrupt them into possible profit

I farmed The Chains that Bind Divination Card set for 6-links and sold them in bulk during league start when players were desperate to link gear. White 6-links sold for 1.5–2 Divine Orbs each.

64. Use Item Filters to Target Currency-Specific Content

Advanced filters like FilterBlade let you:

  • Highlight specific crafting bases
  • Emphasize rare currency drops (like Divine or Mirror Shards)
  • Hide junk that slows you down

After customizing my loot filter to emphasize currency items and disable all low-value rares, I saw an immediate jump in mapping speed. Less time checking loot = more currency per hour.

65. Buy and Reroll Unfinished Cluster Jewels

Cluster Jewels with just one or two good notables often sell cheaply. With a little currency, you can:

  • Add a third notable via Harvest or Regal Orb
  • Use Scour/Alch spam to reroll suffixes
  • Sell as premium triple-notable clusters

For example, I bought a Medium Cluster Jewel with “Daring Ideas” for 20 Chaos, added “Brush with Death” using Harvest, and sold the result for 1.5 Divine Orbs. Knowing your notables is key to this flipping strategy.

66. Convert Lower Tier Orbs into Higher Tier Ones

Over time, you’ll collect a lot of lower-value orbs:

  • Orbs of Transmutation
  • Orbs of Augmentation
  • Orbs of Chance
  • Alchemy Orbs

You can convert them into more valuable orbs or items by:

  • Using vendor recipes
  • Applying them to item bases for crafting
  • Selling bulk stacks on trade sites

I used to accumulate hundreds of Alchs and Augments. After converting them into rolled maps and pricing the maps by tier/mods, I doubled their value with minimal extra work.

67. Specialize in a League Mechanic and Dominate It

Instead of trying to do everything, dominate one profitable mechanic. Examples:

  • Betrayal: Focus on farming Catarina’s Uniques and crafting benches
  • Harvest: Sell crafts and Lifeforce
  • Legion: Profit from incubators and Emblems
  • Delirium: Farm Simulacrum splinters and cluster jewels

In one league, I went all-in on Legion and bought all Gilded Legion Scarabs under market price. After three days of farming, I had a full tab of Emblems and flipped them during a price surge.

68. Join Trade Discords for Instant Buyers

The in-game trade board is useful but slow. By joining bulk or currency trade Discords, you get:

  • Faster selling
  • Bulk buyer channels
  • Real-time pricing trends

I joined several active trade servers and moved 20x Chaos Orb stacks or 50x Essences in minutes. It cut down my trading time and kept my stash liquid.

69. Identify and Exploit New Meta Trends

As streamers and YouTubers promote new builds, gear demand spikes. To stay ahead:

  • Watch balance patch notes
  • Monitor POE.Ninja for trending builds
  • Buy crafting bases or Uniques before prices skyrocket

I once invested early in Storm Secret Rings and Herald of Thunder gear just as a popular streamer promoted the build. My 2 Chaos investment turned into a 30 Chaos sale per ring overnight.

70. Respect Your Time: Don’t Overloot

One of the most powerful things I learned was not to pick up everything. Many items slow you down and yield little profit. Stick to:

  • Currency
  • High-tier bases
  • Crafting items
  • Sellable rares

Once I trained myself to ignore “loot bait” and focus only on valuable drops, I nearly doubled my maps per hour and saw a massive increase in total profit.

71. Farm Timeless Emblems for Endgame Profit

Timeless Emblems from Legion encounters—Maraketh, Karui, Templar, Eternal, and Vaal—can be farmed and sold or used to run the Domain of Timeless Conflict, which is one of the best sources for:

  • Incubators
  • Timeless Jewels
  • High-tier loot explosions

What I’ve done in past leagues is buy cheap Maraketh or Vaal Emblems early, then combine four of them for Domain runs. Even without selling, running the Domain with 4-way or 5-way Emblems led to drops like Divine Orbs, cluster jewels, and 6-links—pure profit for about 10–15 minutes of farming.

72. Craft with Fossils and Sell the Results

Delve Fossil crafting still holds value in PoE 2 for its ability to target-mod specific affixes. Some profitable fossil combinations include:

  • Scorched + Prismatic (for fire spell gear)
  • Jagged + Corroded (for physical weapons)
  • Dense + Lucent (for ES and mana gear)

You can buy fossils cheap, target craft high-demand affixes, and sell the results for multiple Divines. I’ve used this strategy on gloves and belts and sold “mediocre” but meta-usable crafts to budget players.

73. Leverage Trade Site Filtering for Arbitrage

The official PoE trade site allows custom filters. You can set alerts or manually check for underpriced items like:

  • “+1 to all skill gems” wands under 10 Chaos
  • Flasks with Adrenaline mod but poor prefix
  • Cluster Jewels with just the notable you want

In several cases, I purchased mispriced jewels and flasks within minutes of them being listed, then flipped them for 2–4x profits. The key is speed and knowing what’s worth flipping.

74. Mass-Identify Jewelry for Vendor Recipes

Pick up lots of rare rings, amulets, and belts, then identify and vendor them for:

  • Alchemy shards
  • Alteration shards
  • Full sets for Chaos recipe (item level 60–74)
  • Regal recipe (item level 75+)

I did this as a side-hustle during my first few maps. It might seem small, but stacking 20+ rare accessories per map session can give you consistent Chaos just from vendor recipes—no trade needed.

75. Sell Level 3 or Level 4 Master Missions

If PoE 2 continues the trend of gating powerful league content behind Master levels (Alva, Einhar, Jun, etc.), high-tier missions can be extremely profitable. Players pay good currency for:

  • Level 3 Betrayal safehouses
  • Temple of Atzoatl runs with Doryani’s Institute
  • Beast captures for Aspect crafts

I once focused on Jun missions and sold Betrayal safehouse runs for 15–25 Chaos each. Many buyers just want to unlock their own bench crafts or chase Veiled mods without the grind.

76. Buy Cheap Maps and Resell with Value Rolls

Buy cheap T14–T16 maps in bulk, roll them with Alchemy Orbs, and look for:

  • High quantity (80%+)
  • Pack size (20%+)
  • Valuable league mechanics (Breach, Legion, etc.)

You can then:

  • Sell the maps with better rolls for profit
  • Run them yourself with higher loot yield
  • Use Scarabs to further boost profit

I used this “map flipping” method to stockpile premium loot maps without spending Divines. Some rare maps like Burial Chambers, Dunes, and Jungle Valley always resell well when rolled properly.

77. Invest in Atlas Keystone Respec Builds

The new Atlas Passive system in PoE 2 allows for total build freedom, and many players develop specialized farming strategies around certain Keystones:

  • Wandering Path: maximizes small passives
  • Shadow Shaping: hides bad maps
  • Valley of Darkness: adds challenge for better loot

Respec costs aren’t high if you farm Orb of Unmakings early or buy them cheap. I created an atlas spec around Delirium + Blight that exploded my loot returns. Don’t just play default—optimize.

78. Participate in Private Leagues or Group MF Setups

Magic Find (MF) groups or private leagues often use specific strategies to hyper-optimize loot:

  • 1–2 MF carries
  • 1 Curse Support
  • 1 Aurabot
  • 1 Loot Filter/Mapper

I once joined an MF group for a weekend. Even though I was only a support, my share of the loot brought in over 20 Divine Orbs in two days. These setups work best if you’re coordinated with friends or guildmates.

79. Use Fractured Mods for Targeted Crafting

Fractured gear makes crafting more deterministic. When you find:

  • Fractured life or resist mods
  • Fractured movement speed on boots
  • Fractured +1 gem level

You can use Essences or meta-crafts to finish the item. I found fractured +35 Strength gloves and crafted them into sellable Melee gloves with Chaos spam and bench crafting, flipping them for 3x my investment.

80. Control Inventory Flow with Dump Tabs

Having a dedicated dump tab (for junk + sorting later) and a premium stash tab (for selling) improves your:

  • Inventory management
  • Trade listing speed
  • Mental clarity while mapping

Every hour, I sort gear and list valuable items directly from my dump tab. I use a strict loot filter and price-check only top-tier rares, saving me hours over the course of a week.

81. Craft Budget Gear for New Players

Not every player can afford mirror-tier gear, but budget crafting can meet high demand—especially early or mid-league. Here’s how you can profit:

  • Use Essences (Greed, Zeal, Sorrow) to guarantee valuable affixes.
  • Target “good enough” stats: Life + resists, or spell damage + crit.
  • Craft on popular bases (e.g., Tri-Resist rings, Life belts, ES helms).

In one league, I crafted +life/+resist rings using Essences of Suffering and listed them for 20 Chaos each. They sold fast because they were perfect for leveling or early maps. Easy profit, low investment.

82. Exploit Low Supply Windows During Time Zones

The trade economy in PoE 2 is global, but item availability fluctuates depending on the time of day. For example:

  • Fewer sellers = higher prices during off-peak hours
  • You can list common items (Scarabs, Essences, Sextants) slightly above market
  • Buyers in other regions often snap them up for convenience

I made solid profits listing currency while NA markets were sleeping. Buyers from Asia or EU zones would buy instantly, even if I was 10–15% above average prices.

83. Turn Beastcrafting into Currency

Menagerie beast crafting lets you:

  • Create Aspect-crafted items (Aspect of the Cat, Avian, etc.)
  • Modify maps (adds currency drops, Div cards, etc.)
  • Imprint rare items (allows risky crafting with a “backup”)

If you're running Einhar missions and catching beasts anyway, it’s easy to convert them into money. I farmed Aspect of the Spider crafts early league and sold the crafted amulets for 30–50 Chaos. Aspect crafts are always in demand.

84. Convert Harvest Lifeforce into Sellable Mods

When farming Harvest, don’t waste Lifeforce on random crafts. Instead:

  • Use it to create in-demand mods like “Reforge Keep Suffix” or “Augment Physical”
  • Craft on bases in demand (weapons, quivers, rings)
  • Sell the completed items or the mods themselves (via services in Discords)

I stockpiled Wild Lifeforce to reforge caster gear. Even when I didn’t get GG mods, I could sell the crafting service itself for Divine Orbs on trade servers.

85. Farm Delve for Resonators and Fossils

Delve still has solid profitability if you:

  • Target fossil nodes (especially Shuddering, Aberrant, Prismatic)
  • Hit fractured walls for hidden currency caches
  • Mine Resonators (2- and 4-socket ones sell well)

I followed a horizontal path through darkness and mined dozens of fossils. Selling bulk sets of fossils + resonators netted me over 5 Divines across a weekend. Delve is still worth your time.

86. Specialize in a Meta Build’s Gear

Each league has “builds of the moment” (e.g., Righteous Fire, Explosive Arrow, Toxic Rain). You can:

  • Craft or flip items used by those builds (e.g., +1 Fire Gem helmets, Spell Suppression gear)
  • List them with relevant keywords on trade (e.g., “Righteous Fire helm”)
  • Watch YouTubers and forums to catch trends early

When RF was hot, I sold dozens of Saffell’s Frames and +1 Fire gem helms. Players search by build keyword—optimize listings for that and you’ll profit.

87. Utilize Vendor Recipes for Quick Currency

Don’t forget the classics:

  • Chromatic Orb recipe: 3-linked RGB item = 1 Chromatic
  • Glassblower’s Baubles: vendor quality flasks
  • Jeweller’s Orbs: vendor 6-socketed items
  • Cartographer’s Chisel: vendor quality maps

I built a routine where I picked up only 6-socket items and RGB-linked rares. In an hour of mapping, I had 10+ Jeweller’s and a full stack of Chromatics—all without stopping to trade.

88. Sell Base Types for Meta Crafting

Certain base types—especially influenced or fractured—are always in demand:

  • Opal Rings, Stygian Vises, Hubris Circlets
  • Two-Toned Boots, Titan Gauntlets, Maraketh Bows
  • High ilvl bases with no junk affixes

Even without perfect rolls, a clean base with meta relevance can sell for 50–200 Chaos. I made a habit of picking up and identifying all rare ilvl 85+ boots and belts. Half were trash—but the others sold fast.

89. Run Endgame Invitations and Sell Loot

Invitations like:

  • The Formed
  • The Twisted
  • The Feared
  • Maven’s Invitation: The Atlas

Drop cluster jewels, Watcher's Eyes, and exclusive loot. A properly built boss killer can clear these in minutes, and each run may net you 2–5 Divines in profit.

I built a basic Maven killer with moderate investment and farmed The Twisted every day for a week. On average, I earned 10–15 Divine Orbs in loot per session.

90. Craft Influence Mods with Awakener’s Orb

Advanced strategy: Buy two influenced items with one desirable mod each and use an Awakener’s Orb to combine them:

  • Shaper + Hunter gloves
  • Crusader + Elder chestpieces
  • Warlord + Redeemer helmets

Crafting “double-influenced” items lets you roll +1 to skill gems, extra curse, or explode mods. With market knowledge, I flipped gloves with +1 AoE Gems + Attack Speed for 10 Divines after combining two 20 Chaos items.

91. Flip Corrupted Skill Gems

Corrupted gems with the right combination of level and quality are extremely valuable, especially for meta builds. Key examples include:

  • Level 21/20% Aura gems (e.g., Determination, Hatred, Zealotry)
  • Corrupted Enlighten/Empower/Enhance support gems
  • Gems with valuable alternate qualities and corruption (e.g., Divergent Herald of Purity with +1 level)

Here’s how I profited: I bought level 20/20 gems and used Vaal Orbs in bulk. When I hit a level 21/20 gem for a popular build, I could flip it for 2–3 Divine Orbs. Risky? Yes. Profitable? Also yes—if you understand demand.

92. Sell “Ready-to-Go” Gear Sets for Meta Builds

Many players are willing to pay for pre-assembled gear sets that support their chosen build. You can put together and list entire kits, like:

  • Righteous Fire budget set (Saffell’s Frame, Rise of the Phoenix, etc.)
  • Tornado Shot Deadeye setup
  • Poison Blade Vortex Occultist kit

I’ve sold several full leveling-to-red-map kits this way—complete with flasks, gear, and socketed gems. List them with “RF Starter Gear” or “TS Meta Kit” in the trade title. Convenience sells.

93. Flip Scarabs Based on Meta and Events

Scarabs are used to juice maps, and their prices rise and fall depending on:

  • Current farming metas (e.g., Legion, Blight, Harvest)
  • Community events
  • Streamer-influenced hype

I bought Gilded Legion Scarabs at 2 Chaos early league. Two days later, the price surged to 5–6 Chaos after a popular build guide went viral. I flipped over 400 scarabs and pocketed more than 5 Divines in a single day. Monitor the hype.

94. Craft “Semi-Finished” Gear for Resellers

Not every buyer wants to start from scratch—many players want "almost finished" gear that they can customize further. You can:

  • Craft items with perfect suffixes but open prefixes
  • Stop after hitting 2/3 key stats
  • List as “perfect craft base” or “mirror base”

One example: I crafted a pair of boots with 35% move speed, T1 life, and two open prefixes. Instead of finishing the craft, I listed it for 3 Divines. A crafter bought it within an hour, likely to slam his own desired mods.

95. Flip Leaguestones or Seasonal Mechanic Items (if present)

If PoE 2 reintroduces seasonal or legacy mechanics like Leaguestones, exploit the demand curve:

  • Buy in bulk when no one’s using them
  • Wait for a new build, patch, or strategy to bring them into relevance
  • Sell during the spike

In previous leagues, I hoarded Leaguestones for Breach and Beyond and sold them for 3–4x profit when players started chasing high-pack-size MF builds.

96. Farm Currency in Early White and Yellow Maps

Most players rush to red maps, but white and yellow maps are:

  • Safer
  • Require less investment
  • Often better for certain league mechanics like Blight or Heist

I farmed Blighted Strand (T6–T9) with minimal investment and earned 80–120 Chaos per hour thanks to consistent oil and currency drops. Sometimes, low-tier is the high-yield choice if you focus on mechanics, not difficulty.

97. Track High-Value Divination Card Sets

Some cards are always in demand because they reward:

  • 6-links (The Chains That Bind, The Celestial Justicar)
  • Currency (Abandoned Wealth, The Saint’s Treasure)
  • Unique items (The Doctor, The Fiend, The Wretched)

I kept tabs on maps with good drop rates for The Saint’s Treasure and ran them repeatedly using Scarabs and Sextants. Completing just one set could net me a Divine Orb in profit, sometimes more.

98. Sell Bases with Good Socket Colors

Socket colors matter. If a gear base has:

  • 4 green on a STR item (for Toxic Rain)
  • 3 blue on a STR helm (for Aura stackers)
  • 3 red + 1 blue + 2 green (for melee meta builds)

Then it’s worth more—even if the item’s affixes are mediocre. I’ve sold items with bad stats but perfect colors for up to 1 Divine. Use Vorici’s color crafting to reroll and flip gear.

99. Buy and Flip Unique Synthesis Items

Synthesis items with implicit mods like:

  • “+% to critical strike multiplier”
  • “Gain a Power Charge on critical strike”
  • “% increased effect of auras”

Can be flipped for big profits. You can buy undervalued synthesis bases, bench-craft key stats, and resell them. I once flipped a wand with “% increased cold damage taken” for 3x its listed price by adding +1 to spell gems and listing it to match popular Cold Dot builds.

100. Farm Endgame Uber Pinnacle Bosses for Exclusive Rewards

Once your build is capable, farming Uber Pinnacle Bosses (Uber Sirus, Uber Eater of Worlds, Uber Maven, etc.) gives access to some of the rarest loot in the game:

  • Omniscience, Mageblood, Ashes of the Stars
  • Forbidden Flesh/Flame
  • Awakened Gems and rare boss-specific drops

I invested time into a tanky boss-killer build and ran Uber bosses on rotation. Even when I didn’t get jackpot Uniques, the drops averaged 5–8 Divine Orbs per full cycle.

101. Use Expedition Remnants to Control Loot Output

In Expedition, the key to maximizing currency is manipulating Remnant modifiers to target valuable outcomes. For example:

  • “Monsters drop additional currency items”
  • “Monsters drop scarabs”
  • “Monsters drop maps, catalysts, or unique items”

I spent time learning how to path explosives through 3–5 strong Remnants per node. One optimized run could yield multiple Divines in currency drops, and if I hit a currency duplication mod plus a chaos- or scarab-drop mod, it was basically a jackpot. Mastering placement is everything.

102. Sell Prophecies, Fragments, and Sets in Bulk

Players love convenience. You can create and sell:

  • Full Divination Card sets (especially for 6-links or Uniques)
  • Full Sacrifice or Mortal fragment sets for Atziri
  • Prophecy packs (if active), e.g., 10x Fated Connections

I farmed The Chains that Bind, completed sets, and sold them pre-assembled—charging 10–15% more than the sum of individual cards. Bulk buyers always pay more to save time.

103. Offer Crafting or Boss-Kill Services

If you have:

  • A meta crafting bench unlocked (e.g., multi-mod, explode chest)
  • A strong bossing build

You can provide services on trade forums or Discord, such as:

  • Killing Sirus or Maven
  • Running Uber Labs for enchantments
  • Applying specific crafts to buyer’s gear

I offered a 20 Chaos Uber Lab enchant service, and on good days, enchanted 10+ helmets/hour. For boss kills, I used a profit-sharing model—keep common loot, split high-value drops.

104. Leverage Sextant Mods for Infinite Juice

Awakener’s Sextants roll incredibly valuable mods:

  • “Maps contain additional Harbingers”
  • “Players gain increased quantity”
  • “Maps contain an extra Delirium mirror”

Buy unrolled Watchstones, use Sextants, and:

  • Store valuable rolls
  • Sell rare mods for huge profit
  • Apply them to your Atlas for farming

I once rolled the “extra Delirium” mod and ran a 100% Delirious map with Scarabs and Delirium Orbs. It was chaotic—but the return was nearly 10 Divine Orbs in splinters, simulacrum loot, and raw currency.

105. Flip High-Value Unique Flasks

Some Unique flasks are:

  • Build-defining
  • Frequently used in meta setups
  • Heavily price-volatile

Flasks like Taste of Hate, Bottled Faith, or Forbidden Taste often spike in price depending on the meta. I made several flips just by watching poe.ninja and anticipating build changes. Buy low before a build video drops—sell high when demand spikes.

106. Invest in Awakener's Orb and Maven Orb Mechanics

These orbs let you:

  • Combine influence mods (Awakener’s)
  • Reroll and elevate influence affixes (Maven’s)

While risky, skilled crafters can:

  • Combine explode + culling strike
  • Elevate +1 to gems or “enemies take increased damage”

I once hit double elevated mods on gloves and sold them to a mirror-tier buyer for 35 Divine Orbs. These crafts aren’t for beginners—but when you get them right, the returns are massive.

107. Price Check Every High iLvl Item with a Fracture

People frequently vendor or ignore powerful items with:

  • Fractured life, resist, or +attributes
  • Good socket colors
  • No “junk” affixes

Use Awakened PoE Trade to check value. I found a fractured +96 life belt in a map once—worth nothing to me, but I flipped it to a chaos-res stacking buyer for 2 Divines. Easy win.

108. Host Group Farming Events for Shared Currency

Use public Discords or guilds to coordinate:

  • Delirium Rotations
  • Blight Map Rotations
  • Breachstone 5-Way Rotations

Hosting earns you:

  • Leadership control
  • Tips from participants
  • First access to drops (in many cases)

I hosted a 5-way Emblem rotation once and took a 10% cut of all loot—without even running damage. That alone earned me more than running solo.

109. Build a Reputation as a Safe Crafter or Boss Killer

If you're trustworthy and skilled, people will:

  • Return to you for service
  • Recommend you to others
  • Tip generously

I had a 5-star reputation as an Uber Elder killer. Players would drop me portals, go AFK, and trust I’d deliver. I never scammed—and it turned into one of my most consistent profit streams.

110. Track Currency Per Hour and Optimize Routes

Use a spreadsheet or tool like Exilence Next to track:

  • Chaos/Divines per hour
  • Drops by content type
  • ROI per map investment

I discovered that my Legion + Strongbox + Essence tree yielded 20% more currency/hour than my Delirium setup—so I focused all my farming there. Numbers never lie. Optimization = profit.

111. Utilize Duplicate Currency Mechanics

Some map mods, league mechanics, or Atlas passives allow for currency item duplication. Examples include:

  • Strongboxes duplicated currency drops
  • Shrines or Altars with "currency duplicated" effects
  • Eater of Worlds Influence nodes that cause duplicated rewards

I ran maps with Strongbox duplication + Harbinger + Beyond all stacked on one Atlas tree. After 30 maps, I walked away with over 1000 Chaos Orbs and 20+ Divine Orbs worth of raw drops and tradeable loot. Focus on synergy—stack duplication modifiers where possible.

112. Invest in the Early-League Flipping Meta

At league start:

  • Chaos Orbs are plentiful
  • Divine Orbs are scarce
  • Item demand is high, supply is low

Buy cheap Uniques, flasks, or leveling items early and hold for 24–48 hours. I bought 10x Tabula Rasa on day one for 10 Chaos each and sold them for 40–50 Chaos by day three. Patience = profit in the early rush.

113. Target Jewel Corruptions for Popular Builds

Corrupted jewels with:

  • “Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted”
  • “+x% to critical strike multiplier”
  • “x% increased damage while dual wielding”

Can sell for massive prices. I once corrupted a cluster jewel with a crit multi implicit and sold it for 8 Divines—more than 30x its uncorrupted price. Know what mods your build (and others) need, then target them.

114. Leverage Unidentified Rare Sales

Unidentified rare items—especially full sets—can sell for more than their identified versions. Players like to roll the dice on full sets for vendor recipes or chaos gambling.

I ran Chaos Recipes using full sets of ilvl 60–74 gear and sold unID sets to impatient players. Additionally, I bundled “loot box” deals of 20–30 unID rares at a discount, and they sold fast.

115. Use Hideout Services as Passive Income

Offer:

  • Hideout decoration
  • Map device setup
  • Crafting station unlocking
  • Favor farming

You’d be surprised how many players want a clean, organized hideout. I charged 50–100 Chaos to design simple themes (like Sarn Arena or Oriath Cathedral). Once I shared my template in Discord, I had a steady trickle of requests.

116. Farm Maps with Divination Card Boss Drops

Some bosses drop cards that are only available via their encounters:

  • The Hoarder from Museum
  • The Price of Protection from Poorjoy’s Asylum
  • The Apothecary from Crimson Temple

I targeted Crimson Temple maps using Gilded Divination Scarabs + Alva + Sextants, running them on loop. After 20 maps, I got my first Apothecary card, worth over 15 Divines at the time. It’s low drop rate, but high reward.

117. Sell Incubators for Passive Profits

Incubators drop in:

  • Legion maps
  • Breach-heavy zones
  • Abyss and Temple runs

You can:

  • Apply them and sell the item that drops
  • Sell the incubators in bulk to lazy players

I sold stacks of Currency and Divination incubators early league for 5–8 Chaos each. They pile up fast and are always in demand—many players just want quick profits without doing the grinding themselves.

118. Farm Betrayal for Veiled Mods and Crafting Uniques

Betrayal safehouses yield:

  • Veiled crafting options
  • Uniques like Pariah or Aisling-slammed rares
  • Syndicate benches that roll valuable implicits

I once got an amulet slammed with +1 to Intelligence skill gems from Aisling. I sold that base uncrafted for 6 Divines. If you set up Research (for Aisling) and Intervention (for loot), Betrayal becomes a steady stream of profit.

119. Flip Catalysts for High-End Jewelry Crafting

Catalysts are used to enhance jewelry affix weighting. Examples:

  • Fertile Catalyst (+life mods)
  • Intrinsic Catalyst (+attributes)
  • Tempering Catalyst (crafting-specific)

Buy cheap Jewelry and boost with the right Catalyst before selling. I bought a ring with T1 life and added Fertile Catalysts to push the implicit to max. Sold for 2x the unmodified version—easy value addition.

120. Host Gambling Events or Crafting Games

This requires reputation and transparency. Host events where:

  • Players gamble gear upgrades with a chance at better items
  • Participants pay to enter a crafting lottery
  • You stream crafting or corruption attempts and offer splits of profit

In one league, I hosted a “Vaal Gem Roulette” event. Participants gave me 20/20 gems, and I vaaled them live—if they hit 21/20, they kept them. If they bricked, I kept them. It was fun, profitable, and created trust-based community interaction.
