You have made similar claims before, and I'm still highly skeptical of them.

That number is a bit high IMO but i would not be totaly shocked to find out it's true.


If u get a solid group of 5x runners who know what they are doing and are set up right with massive DOM killing DPS, then have a insane MF character for the cull.

last ladder i ended up farming with a few guy i became freinds with , 1 of them was snappshoting a MF sommner and another 1 was snapshotting some kind of crazy ass RF crit build thing. Basicaly DOM died before he could attack once. and after us 4 runners got in to the grove it became pretty much chain dom kills for as long as u wanted back to back .

U basicaly grabed a bag full of loot off each drop. grabing for chaos resipy only/ gear that might be good ,stash tabs set up for this helped alot dew to the speed. New players in the party ususaly fell behind in 5 miniuts with a bog down of loot.


IDK what we wher making per houre, i don't think it was 4 EX but it would probley be at least 2 . then if u take into consideration that u are gowing through so much loot so fast ( i was buying wisdom scrolls with exsulteds , by the tab full ) finding very nice drops that wher upgrades / sellable pices was pretty common. Let alone the uniqu drops , 3X khoms hearts droped in 1 mounth , of course non aloted to me :( but many other good pices of gear did drop for me selling them in a range of 5 chaos to 5 exsulteds . Keep in mind this was a 4 mounth ladder to pretty insane when u think about it.

The guy is a Conquerer supporter so he has spent well over 1000 dollars on this game at least, isn't it obvious he has RMT for items at some point. He will deny it of coarse. If everyone that denied it were telling the truth, the item sites would be out of business.

I'd like to see one guy admit it.

The amount of butthurt on this thread is too damn high.

Whenever a game is labeled as work, you know something is wrong with the game. No thanks, one job is enough for me.

I'm still curious what this incredible mystery item was that 2 mirrors couldn't afford.

yes, yes, currently I suppose it could be an accurate price but my post is a warning for the future because the rich get richer..and that's rich enough to corner this market so lets not raise the roof for ourselves ;)

Also the fact that my offer is refused in such manner is a blatant display of elitism..not going to say who but I think its the leader of that one 'cosmic' guild you see running around like they think theyre the next [GoD] or something :P

Thanks for your contribution

Oh atziri gloves, like I thought.


200 ex short. I'd turn you down hard too.

Hypothetically speaking of course, my reply would be something like "LOL CLOWN"

Hey Guys,
interesting discussions I enjoyed all the turns this took. Things have taken place in RL which in turn I'm moving out of the county (moving on up to the 1st world :D) However it will be long before I'm situated to even play so please dev's don't think I'm a quitting statistic.
As for Atziri's I could dip into my reserves to buy them now but I opt to let my mirrors appreciate while the gloves depreciate.
I look forward to the future developments while I'm gone and I wish everyone luck(except for elitists cause they've had it already..or dare I say RMT?:P)

This is simply not true. Yes, there will be those who RMT to get that amount of wealth. But it is absolutely possible to pull at least 2 ex per hour by farming Dominus efficiently. I am currently doing about 4 ex per hour in low level maps (using a twist). This puts 500 ex at around 125 to 200 hours of farming. A lot of work, but definitely doable.

Regarding those that sell those gloves at 500 ex: its not greed, it is economy 101. They simply charge what others are willing to pay. Very few players would do otherwhise if they were in the same position. Unless one prooves that one is willing to sell big ticket items (say a mirror or two) for, say, half the market value themselves I call hypocrite on this one.

4 Exalted Orbs per hour farming Dominus and low maps, you say?
man I've been playing for over 1700 hours and my total amount of Exalts ever, is 6. plus I have maybe a couple more in lower currency on all leagues combined, and maybe 20-30 Exalts more worth of gear - mostly legacy, and only because I've been playing since the start of Open Beta - according to what I think Standard League rates are.
not sure though, because Economy isn't my thing in Path Of Exile.

so yeah, I may be an absolutely horrible trader, and the man with the single worst RNG (relative to time played) currently playing this game - but if you tell me people who can pay 500 fucking hundred Exalts for one set of gloves actually farmed for their "wealth", you are lying. pure and simple.

I know some people who are "rich" and ranked high up on the ladder. heck I used to party and map with some of them.
they are not "afraid" of the economy the way I am, and are simply amazing players in terms of pure playing skills and character building - and they are no where near what you are claiming.

IF your goal (you might have other goals) is to make the maxmimum exa/hour then you are not doing it right if your total wealth is around 100 ex after 1700 hours played. This is not meant as an insult.

2ex per hour is widely acknowledged to be doable with a good dominus team. If you had spent your 1700 hours efficiently (no need to do that if that is no fun to you) then that would put you at above 3k ex wealth - you would have no problem whatsoever to get those gloves. To be honest i find farming dominus extremely boring.

I am doing 4ex/hour in standard in low level maps. I am willing to explain in detail how to do that. However, that would increase competition for me and I would most likely no longer be able to sustain 4ex/hour. So, my offer is as follows: if you guys get me 500 ex, then I can stop farming and buy the stuff I need and I no longer care whether others are doing the same. I would then post a detailed description of how I get to 4ex/hour. It is not a scam or any form of cheat/exploit, it does nor requite flipping or taking advantage of other players and it does not require multiboxing.

Finally, getting rich in this game does not require you to be an amazing player (in terms of, e.g. reflexes). It requires a solid strategy to make currency. I would consider myself mediocre at the former but pretty good at the latter.

I can vouch for this guy, I made 50 exalts in two days with his method!
