Currency Making Through Crafting in Path of Exile 2

Overview​

This guide contains comprehensive strategies for making currency through crafting in Path of Exile 2. Each section focuses on specific crafting methods with detailed processes, profit analysis, and source materials.

Types of Crafting​

1. Self-Crafting for Niche Builds​

  • Risk: Often loses currency
  • Problem: Low demand for niche items
  • Exception: Can profit if meta shifts toward your niche
  • Example: Tinabas amulets for specific builds

2. Self-Crafting Within Meta​

  • Risk: Market oversaturation
  • Best Case: Early league meta crafting before recipes are known
  • Example: Early league quivers/amulets for rangers (5-10 div cost, 50-100 div sell)

3. Pure Profit Crafting​

  • Method: Find unsaturated niches
  • Progression: Start small (2-3 div) → Scale up (100 div) → High-end (1000+ div)
  • Strategy:
    • Start with 2-3 divines
    • Craft 10-20 items for 100 divines
    • Scale to higher-value crafts
    • Repeat escalation process

4. Mirror Crafting​

  • Investment: Massive currency requirements
  • Timeline: Never profitable until finished
  • Funding: Often collaborative with multiple investors
  • Competition: Multiple crafters competing for mirror fees

Understanding Item Structure​

Item Components​

  • Prefixes: Top 3 mods
  • Suffixes: Bottom 3 mods
  • Runes: Lower highlighted line
  • Implicit/Enchantment: Upper highlighted line (POE 2 specific)

Key Differences (POE 1 vs POE 2)​

  • POE 2: Corruptions go above implicit
  • POE 1: Corruptions replace implicit

Essential Tools​

Mod Groups​

  • Items cannot have multiple mods from the same group
  • Example: Cold damage and fire damage share a mod group
  • Understanding mod groups is crucial for targeted crafting

Crafting Methods​

1. Fast Crafting​

  • Goal: Quick results
  • Use Case: Mirror crafters, time-sensitive crafts
  • Trade-off: Higher cost for speed
  • Example: 2 div craft in 10 minutes vs 3 div craft in 1 hour

2. Profitable Crafting​

  • Goal: Cost efficiency
  • Method: Use cheaper currency for better results
  • Requirement: Mathematical evaluation of odds
  • Example: Perfect vs Greater exalted orbs

3. Safe Crafting​

  • Goal: Minimize risk
  • Use Case: Extremely expensive bases (200-300 div)
  • Generally: Avoid unless base is irreplaceable

When to Stop Crafting​

Key Principle​

Sell imperfect results rather than continuing to craft

Examples​

  • Failed fracture but good mods → Sell as-is
  • Tier 2 mods instead of Tier 1 → Sell and start new base
  • Wrong attributes → Sell and try again

Pricing Strategy​

  • Start high, lower gradually
  • Items typically sit 3+ days before selling
  • Don't rush sales - maximize profit
