In Path of Exile, crafting can be a lucrative endeavor, but it's not always the most space-efficient or consistently Profitable way to spend your time. If you're considering crafting for Farming Poe Currency, it's important to manage your expectations. Crafting Invasion boots, in particular, can yield moderate returns, but the margins aren't massive. On average, you can expect to make around 12 chaos orbs per hour with this strategy, though you might hit higher numbers (up to 20 divination cards) with some luck. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to craft Invasion boots for Making Currency:

 

• Gather the Right Base Items
• Craft Your Boots
• Advanced Crafting for Greater Profit
• Managing Less Valuable Boots

 

↖ Gather the Right Base Items

To get started, you'll need to acquire the right base items.

Look for Invasion boots with 40-48 Fire, Cold, or Lightning resistance.

These boots should be Invasion bases with an item level of 85. You can find these bases for approximately 5 chaos orbs each on the market.

When searching for these boots, make sure to filter for evasion bases by setting the following criteria:

• Defense Values: 0 to Armor, 0 to Energy Shield, and 1 to Minimum for Evasion
• Affixes: Select "Fracture" and set the resistance to 48
• Corruption: Ensure it's not corrupted
• Item Level: Set it to 85

Choosing evasion bases is important because they make it easier to hit the "spell suppression" mod, which is valuable for crafting.

 

↖ Craft Your Boots

When crafting these boots, your goal isn't to get a pair with Chaos resistance, spell suppression, and Tier 1 Fire resistance all at once. While such boots would be Profitable, it's more realistic to craft several pairs with valuable mods that can be sold individually for decent Profits.

 

For example, if you roll boots with 20 movement speed and 45 lightning resistance, you can craft additional life onto them using your crafting bench (up to 70 maximum life). These boots, now featuring almost three Tier 1 suffixes, can be priced at around 1 or 1.5 divination cards initially. You can gradually lower the price or adjust it based on market demand.

 

↖ Advanced Crafting for Greater Profit

If you manage to hit valuable mods like spell suppression and Chaos resistance, there's an opportunity for even higher Profits. Here's what you can do:

• Apply a "Seal X Arc" implicit with an item like a Wild Bristol Matron. This item might be expensive later in the league but more affordable at the league's start.
• Craft "Suffixes Cannot Be Changed" using an Eldritch or Frigid Fossil, or an Eternal Orb. This prevents accidental modification of your valuable mods.
• Craft desired mods using fossils or essence crafts. Opt for mods like "Maximum Life," "Mana," "Evasion," and "Increased Divination Card Drop Rate" to increase the boots' appeal.
• If you're fortunate enough to roll Onslaught and 30% movement speed, your boots will be even more valuable.
• These high-end boots can sell for 3.5 to 4 chaos orbs or even more, depending on the market conditions.

 

↖ Managing Less Valuable Boots

Not every pair of boots you craft will be a jackpot. If you roll less valuable mods or combinations, consider either rerolling them or selling them for a lower price. Keep in mind that the base item itself is relatively inexpensive, so even small Profits can add up over time.

 

Remember that crafting in Path of Exile can be a grind, and success often depends on your knowledge of the market and the current league's economy. Be patient, monitor the market, and adjust your prices accordingly. Crafting Invasion boots can be a viable strategy for those looking for a steady income source, even if it doesn't lead to massive Profit margins.
