↖ Crafting for Profit

• Efficient Crafting: To maximize profits, it's crucial to minimize expenses. In this example, we purchased 40 Stygian Vises, 120 Fertile Catalysts, and 468 Deafening Essence of Torment for crafting.
• A Dash of Fun: Crafting can be both profitable and enjoyable. We also experimented with Prismatic Catalysts and the Deafening Essence of Envy to craft Shock Avoid belts.

 

↖ Crafting Process

• Goal Setting: Our primary aim was to craft Shock Avoid belts with 80+ life and desirable suffixes like resistances, life regeneration, or strength. Fertile Catalysts were used for their cost-effectiveness.
• Testing the Waters: We started with a test run of 10 belts, identifying their potential and making necessary adjustments.
• Crafting Iterations: Some belts required annulment or exalt slams, while others needed Beast crafting. We iterated to improve the items.
• Using the Crafting Bench: We enhanced belts by adding life, resistances, or other modifiers as needed.

 

↖ Sales Strategy

• Initial Sales: To maintain cash flow while crafting, we listed the first 10 belts for sale. The belts sold for 3, 5, and even 11 Divines, recouping a significant portion of the initial investment.
• Pricing: When crafting items for profit, patience is key. Avoid lowering prices too quickly; sometimes, it takes time for the right buyer to come along.
• Identifying Demand: Different modifiers have varying demand. Chaos resistance and strength were highly sought after in this league, influencing pricing.

 

↖ Crafting Wisdom

• Adapt to the Economy: Be aware of the league's economic dynamics. Prices and demand for certain modifiers can change from league to league.
• Avoid Overcrowded Markets: If too many players adopt the same crafting strategy, oversaturation can lead to reduced profits. Consider niche markets.
• Experiment and Learn: Crafting for profit is a learning process. Experiment with different methods, and don't be afraid to make mistakes and adapt.

Profit crafting in Path of Exile can be a rewarding endeavor when approached with careful planning, experimentation, and patience. Remember that success in profit crafting comes with practice and an understanding of the game's ever-changing economy.
