I do T19 60% maps while crafting essential gear and advertising boss services in globals.

~ 10 EX per hour if I'm efficient.

Long story short, I made 2 characters this league after not playing for years.
#1 lv90 Crackling Lance. A lot of damage, destroys bosses. Constantly dies to random mobs from "1 shots". Hate the playstyle.
#2 lv70 Physical Cyclone. Clear speed great, large amount of mobility, takes forever to kill bosses.

Just mentioned those two, because while leveling them and getting what small bits of gear I could. I am finding almost no Chaos orbs. Or, any other currency valuable enough to further upgrade my gear. With guides recommending 10-20ex investment to be in a good spot I find myself wondering..

How do you make money in this game?

I do low maps as blue, then when I am Tier 5 and above I go Rare with quality. Even then, I can't even phantom how long at my current "play" it will take to get 10ex. (1500 Chaos or so?).

Before Scourge starts, I wanted to ask for opinions and ideas on how to make some money in this game. Is it all about crafting? I am not very good at it and, it seems to be one of those things were you only make money if you already have a ton of money (and knowledge).

When I google or youtube things. They are so very specific on what to do, that I have no idea what they are referring too. Super dumbed down versions needed. <3

1) Complete your atlas
2) Check what zana mods are available
3) Invest into watchstones with correct mods for region
4) Farm legion/blight/breach/essence
5) ???
6) Profit

There are basically 3 ways to produce currency in this game, apart from simply dropping it which I am not recommending as it is not worth it.

- First, what karollll said: You target-farm specific stuff that you can sell. Breach (Splinters, Breachstones), Blight (Oils, Blighted Maps), Betrayal (Jun-Masters on TFT), Essences, Legion Splinters/Emblems, early in the league Maps, Prophecies, valuable Beasts, etc. Eigher with Zana map devise and/or scarabs.

- Second, you craft. Doesn´t have to be ultimate endgame stuff, just take base cluster jewels or normal jewels, reroll it with harvest, sell if you hit good mods, profit. Meta changes every league so you have to check what Items are in high demand, but even besides that there is a lot of stuff that can get you currency with a few easy steps.

- Third, netprofit-bossing. Check the prices for shaper fragments for example, normally you pay a certain amount for the 4 guardian maps, then you run them, you kill shaper, and you sell the shaper-fragment with a profit. You can juice this further by also doing one round of formed invitation after all 4 bosses to get more fragments, as well as using the uncharted realm passives for another boss per map and even more fragments. Same stuff works with elder with watchers eye-drops, etc.

And then there is of course more exotic variants like
- flipping (buying cheap, selling higher or buying div cards and selling item)
- upgrading items via prophecies
- selling challenges
- delving
- lab-running
- pure heisting
- boss-services
- nemesis-farming

There is a metric TON of stuff you can do in PoE. For unexperienced players I´d stick with variant 1 or 3.
