Anyone else finding the economy kind of screwed at the moment?

Any map I get a 3% chance for raw chaos from an altar near the start, I can walk out with 20-30 chaos. So we have an insane influx of chaos, and an insane reduction of Exalts, now divines, because we are lacking the shards and div cards for divines like exalts have.

So since chaos is so numerous due to this, Divines go up.

For people too lazy to even learn to make money, here is tis

Harvest:
Yellow Essence: 200c per 5k
Red/Blue essence: 200c per 8k
MAke sure to take atlas nodes that have chance for addition crop, chance to not kill the other crop, and the drought nodes are optional but they can force yellow essence to spawn more often and ESPECIALLY for essence drops to be duplicated. I can get 600-900 total essence on average per harvest and with the drought nodes, majority is usually yellow.

Sanctum, make a build with minions, totems, whatever, I've gotten divs almost every time I hit floor 4.

Bossing
Shaper: One fragment of knowledge, 110c, with the bossing nodes at the top I get maps fairly consistently. Shaper is a piss easy fight, Elder too, they're easy to farm unlike Sirius or Maven and generate easy free currency and both have some uniques worth going after (Shaper: Voidforge, Starforge due to buffs, Dying Suns 35c, Elder: Watchers eyes can be profitable)

Literally run t14+ maps with searing exarch altars: Take nodes in tree duplicating altars and better chance of altar. You do NOT need the boss progress nodes. The invitations for Exarch and Eater sell for 100c+ and you are GARUNTEED to get one after running enough maps with altars. This is as braindead as it gets, click altars, run maps, that's it....In fact, BOTH Exarch and Worlds generate money, the ichors/embers all sell fairly well and can be farmed in large quantities with altars.

Expedition: Haggling with Teaujin can gets TONS of chaos, divines and all sorts of currency you need to craft for free and you can just sell logbooks vs running them if it's not your thing

Einhar: With the point that makes Deep Onces creatures spawn more often, as well as the atlas point for multiple red monsters, one Chracic Chrimera sells for 250-275c, I've found 4-5 since switching to eeinhar in my map and using polished beatiary scarabs (1c a map, if you can't afford this, see Chaos Recipes) providing bare minimum 2 red beasts.

Chaos Recipes: If somehow, NONE of the above work. You're too new to the game, low lv, need gear, etc. Chaos Recipes are the simplest way to make money. Simply sell ilv 60+ (hold alt to see Ilve on items when mousing over).

The items A) but be Ilv60 or higher, B) must be unidentified, C), must be yellow.

Sell the following for 2c

2x one handed weapon or 1x 2 handed weapon
1x helmet
1x chest
1x Gloves
1x Boots
1x Belt
2x Rings
1x Amulet

If you have a Quad Tab, you can make an easy layout by doing the following from top to bottom
Helmet
Chest
Gloves
Boots
1x row of 1h weapons
1x row of 1h weapons
boots
Gloves
Chest
Helmet

This makes it so one full row of items should be exactly 2 chaos recipes. Jewlery and belts just dump into another tab as they are much easier to store.

Just pick up random yellow trash you need to finish a set, keep a few on the go in a stash tab and just map. You will be able to earn enough currency to either afford to spend some money on farming like for scarabs or on your gear so you can advance.


Seems a few of the items, such as Kingmaker, you didn't realize were changed in terms of how they are obtained, rarity or stat boosts, and this changes the price. PoE prices do not stay the same league to league or even week to week. If Mathil put out a build for some item that was trash, I garuntee you you'd see the price of it skyrocket as everyone runs to try the build. Welcome to PoE, you gotta learn to adapt.

So then why are you playing an ARPG if you dislike RNG? Sounds like a personal problem. Also, what RNG? You go into harvest, you will get essence, you sell essence, are you that stupid? You go into a map, you click altars, loot drops. It genuinely sounds like none of you actually enjoy playing the game at all. You just want to clear content.

You do realize, that a normal player won't put those 100+ hours into the game in just 3 to 4 months, right?
The methods might work, but even then you are looking at ~30 maps per divine, which is just too much. Especially considering the 30h+ timesink just to get to red maps.

If the game allowed you to start at maps and progress from there, you would get fewer complaints, but currently most players are burned out long before they reach red maps.

So in order to experience (not have fun or enjoy cuz those terms are banned in this game) a TEMPORARY league you need a minimum of 8-12 hours of acts, after that 2-3 days of farming to get geared up (and i mean just gear not good gear) and GG you get sick tired of the game ... to gear up for endgame ... like what it takes for a normal player ? wait a casual player doesn't even dream about endgame
