Source Video: PoE 2 SIMPLEST Craft for EASY PROFIT (Can't Fail) - Hideout Farm Strategy

Overview​

This is a zero-risk profit crafting method that allows you to make currency while staying in your hideout. The strategy focuses on crafting Waystones to roll "Area is Overrun by the Abyss" modifier, which sells for significant profit.

Target Item: T15 Overrun by the Abyss Maps​

  • Market Value: 145 exalted (~0.7 divine) each
  • Investment: ~2.5 exalted per waystone
  • Profit Margin: 200-300% on successful rolls
  • Risk Level: ZERO - you can always run failed waystones yourself

Detailed Crafting Process​

1. Materials Required​

  • Preserved Vertebrae: ~2.5 exalted each (buy from Carus Exchange)
  • T15 Waystones: ~2 exalted each (or use your own)
  • Orb of Alchemy: For rolling waystones

2. Waystone Preparation​

  • Start with normal (white) waystones - cheapest option
  • Use Orb of Alchemy on all waystones
  • Critical: Ensure each waystone has an open prefix
  • Sort waystones: keep those with filled suffixes + open prefix

3. Modifier Management​

  • Overrun by the Abyss is a prefix modifier
  • Having filled suffixes ensures you always get a prefix when unveiling
  • This maximizes your chances of hitting the target modifier

4. Unveiling Process​

  • Use Preserved Vertebrae to add desecrated prefix
  • Unveil waystones to reveal modifiers
  • Target: "Area is Overrun by the Abyss"

Profit Analysis​

Success Rates​

  • Average: 1-2 overrun maps per 30-40 waystones
  • Video Example: 4 successes out of 35 waystones (lucky run)
  • Expected: 1-2 successes per batch

Profit Breakdown​

  • Investment: 100 exalted (35 waystones × 2.5 exalted)
  • Returns: 600 exalted (4 successful maps × 150 exalted)
  • Net Profit: 500 exalted (~2.5 divine)
  • Profit Margin: 500% on successful batch

Fallback Profits​

Even failed waystones can generate profit:

  • Abyss of Both: 7-8 exalted profit
  • Abyss of Depth: 4-5 exalted (break-even)
  • Additional Pits: 4 exalted (break-even)

Pricing Strategy​

Pit Count Pricing​

  • Minimum pits (14): 150 exalted
  • Maximum pits (18): 190-200 exalted
  • Always check pit count before selling

Market Demand​

  • Primary buyers: Party players running group content
  • Solo players: Those with optimized tower setups
  • High demand: Always sells quickly

Key Insights​

Zero-Risk Strategy​

  • No currency loss: Failed waystones can be run yourself
  • Guaranteed returns: Even "failed" rolls break even
  • Scalable: Can be done with any amount of currency

Market Timing​

  • Early league: Higher prices as demand increases
  • Late league: Still profitable due to party play demand
  • Consistent demand: Abyss content always valuable

Efficiency Tips​

  • Buy in bulk: Preserved Vertebrae from Carus Exchange
  • Use own waystones: If you have T15 maps to spare
  • Batch processing: Process multiple waystones at once

Alternative Strategies​

Magic Waystone Method​

  • Use Orb of Augmentation + Regal Orb
  • More expensive than alchemy method
  • Not recommended due to higher costs

Solo Running​

  • Not recommended unless you have optimized tower setup
  • Better to sell to party players
  • Higher profit from selling than running

Market Context​

This strategy works because:

  • Party Play Demand: Abyss maps provide massive monster density
  • Limited Supply: Not many players know this crafting method
  • High Value: 0.7 divine per successful map
  • Zero Risk: Failed waystones still have value

Conclusion​

This is one of the most reliable and risk-free profit methods in PoE 2. With proper execution, you can expect 2-3 divine profit per batch of 30-40 waystones, making it an excellent method for consistent currency generation.
