It's all about balance. If you focus too much on being productive and making currency, it feels more like a job and you question why you are even playing. I recommend using a method that is both fun and profitable, and switching every so often to break the monotony.
Do i earn real life money from game? No right.
Then why serious? play at your pace and have fun.learning the game is fun. When you know all its no more fun.

I'd probably enjoy making currency if the trading process wasn't so tedious.
Then use tft
@@Sammysapphira I probably gain most of my profit from tft. I still do not like the whole third party process.
Yes. Tft or not I'd like to just keep one screen full and do everything from there including looking at the wikis and the dbs.
If trading was easier then you wouldn’t make as much currency per task
I play on console. I list my things on the market, i AFK instead of log out. When I come back to it later, all my stuff is sold and I come back to many divs in the mail.
"Maintenance" is a incredibly undervalued in these currency strats.. most of the content creators who post their "5-7div/hr" videos completely ignore all the time they spend trading for supplies and setting everything up.. and they certainly ignore time spend liquidating.. I actually think heist is criminally underrated for that reason.. there is just the early league "setup" period where you're leveling and gearing rogues.. after that you're just zooming with little to no maintenance.
They also count stuff that isn't even gonna sell... They count everything but no one is selling 1c div cards let's be honest
A personal favorite is the "just buy in bulk on TFT" but on TFT the price is like 40% higher and negates most of the profits compared to an easier strategy and they used prices from trade/viewers pre-video for even less than trade site by the time you're looking at it as the point of comparison. Not to mention the hyper optimized build, so you're going to get like 1-2div/hour for this "6-8div/hour" strategy while doing a ton of micromanagement. Joy.
Back when I was newer to the game I got burned once by doing a strat like that which was straight up break-even due to the required resources being extremely low supply so the strategy was useless if anyone knew about it, unless you sniped resources on live search.
that league joke was out of no where and hilarious lmao
in the spirit of learning: crafting mana as a slam block on a str/dex helmet does nothing. Mana cannot spawn on that item. The right block is % arm/eva or flat arm/eva depending on what you want as a final outcome.
5:57 Now that quote hits hard.
Especially right now.
I laughed so hard, it's so accurate
This is the first league I’m actually making decent currency, since I spent the last few leagues trying to learn and just go with trial and error, but now that I’ve persisted, I’m making currency with mechanics I enjoy, and am farming to build up a character that will be much more efficient than what I’m currently working with. I’m very excited for the end-result of my labor. But learning that all the content creators click-baiting with the “Make X divines PER HOUR with THIS EASY STRAT” just wasn’t gonna do much, I tried out my own stuff, did my own research on it, and am enjoying myself quite a lot,l even while working with a slower build atm
I'm 3 weeks in. First time POE. I understand nothing! Halp!
This really is true. I thought I wanted to make a bunch of currency. A few leagues back I made a character that could do simi farming. Wrangled up the gear and 6 simulacrums and started. Decided to put all my stuff in two quad tabs to keep track of the currency, all that jazz. Half way through my second one, I started to stare at all the stuff piling up and the realization hit me: "Holy cow. I like, really, really don't want to go though the process of actually flogging all this stuff!"
Since then I've been happy being a weirdo pseudo-ssf Andy that occasionally plays with my friend and dabbles in the market for an odd t1 or t2 unique or the occasional rare.
Knowledge is power. And never was this more clear to me than this league.
I was one of those players who made like 1-3 divines per league (or exalts as they were back then).
This league I finally followed a proper build guide, and focused on a single strategy (blight). Really learning everything I can about it and hooooo boi.
From 1-3 divines in a full league to 3 divines in the first 2 weeks. And another couple hundred chaos on top on that.
And from there it escalates. Because i’ve always know about crafting. But its either “you’re to poor” or mayby spamming fossils. Now that I actually have currency and *know* I can get more I can actually craft items for both myself and builds i’ve played previously. Earning me even more resources.
The league resets every 3 months. But whatever you learn sticks with you for the rest of the game’s lifespan. And thats the main difference between the 1% and everybody else
I’m in the same boat dude hardly made any currency in previous leagues but I’ve invested into expeditions and learning more about them rn tujen has 4 divs sitting there I’m just farming the artifacts lol!! One of if not my funnest league even with the league mechanic being bad
Damn that’s some good strat. Thanks. I was trying to learn everything at once and really haven’t been able to even map good and currency is basically what I find lol. What do you suggest as far as learning for currency In order to actually make a decent build that can actually map good. ?? Thanks
I spend most of my time in Delve and my income is pretty humble, but it's okay. I just can't bring myself to part with my pretty little yellow shinies. They look good hoarded in my stash. Precious little things, hehehehe
Can you tell my boss that maximizing the number of meetings isn't good, thank you in advance!!
I always focused on being efficient, was farming multiple magebloods and giving away to my guildnates, now I'm burnt out and I go as slow as possible, just having fun with small upgrades for the build and it's much more enjoyable
well yeah you got magebloods now so no need to go to hard
Exactly!!! So advice #1 and most important - choose ur build with ur preferable playstyle (mapping bossing delving etc) and stick with it, learn ur build, its variations. Craft ur own rare items, experiment with ur atlas passive tree on pob etc. Master your build by playing 2-3 leagues at least on it. When u learn all aspects, will be shown on poe ninja as build holder - its done, go to next but dont forget about ur old build, craft some items for sellin' for this one etc.
The league of legends comparison is spot on.
In the past I reached diamond by focusing on learning myself and slowly improving on my mistakes.
The amount of mid-tier plats I met who watched streamers and tried to copy them to achieve higher ranks and raged because it wasnt working for them is ridiculous.
(To point out, my goal was never to achieve a high rank, but to have fun & enjoy playing, but I enjoy doing it by learning myself, so it happened kind of naturally).
5:55 i have never heard a more true thing in my life
You are the best man - I feel the truth pulse through your soul it shows how you have been raised/educated IRL.
I have never once known how much currency per hour I make.
I have never once thought there was something I could not afford to buy, or more importantly; make.
Good video Senpai!
I used to be a pro dota2 player and I agree 100% with everything you said and also I had the SAME experience while coaching noob dota2 players that wanted to climb the ladder.
Love your videos, keep it up.
I 100% suck but love how complex the endgame is compared to Diablo. So this season I bucked down and focused on two major league mechanics that I research daily while prepping to make more consistent currency. And next season I’ll try 2 new ones until I’ve mastered it and can then enjoy a new season without sucking and being overwhelmed! Love your videos!
Try as many (good) builds as possible, so you'll recognise lucky loot that you'd otherwise just leave or vendor.
If you you played a lot of builds, you can tell potent items apart at a glance and then you can just craft them if they miss something, unless it's hard to craft or worth to sell by itself.
Or you can just study meta builds and what kinda items they need, that's probably a lot less time consuming but playing different builds is the most fun part for me, so I do both.
Nothing beats crafting, flipping and game knowledge.....and time invested of course. A well know content creator did the same strat as me, excactly the same, even the same build, he basically copied me ^^ At day 5 of the league i had maybe 20 div (without crafts) and he had a mageblood and 30 div or so. The difference ? I played 1-3 hours a day, he played 16+
Yup excacly. I make my money on some popular builds crafts and it makes me 90% of my money but it takes time to buy alot of currency
Truly, having fun is not gonna make you lots of money. I made 5 divs this league then I started buying enlighten 3 and corrupted them, shit made me 30 divs in 4 hours. Most boring shit I have done.
"... one bad game away from shooting up a school" That was cold blooded but had a kernel of truth in it
I like you because you clearly got proper common sense.
EDIT:
Just wanted to add that having fun is quite important - if u hate the strat u can't keep spamming it
I just watched The Pope's Exorcist and the name of the king of hell sounds so familiar then I remembered your channel. I was like oh that's what Asmodeus means, now your profile picture makes sense.
I can relate 100% to everything you said, especially observing meta, learn crafting, learn economy, study the game. Knowledge is power in this game, and creativity is the supplement.
Knowledge is a power everywhere... Not only in game :)
This is my best league so far. Got my first mageblood ever and a week later, i have almost another 200 div stack already. Doing something that you enjoy consistently is the key point here, and knowledge surely makes your life easier.
"1 bad League of Legends game away from chooting up a shcool"
*deep inhale* hooooooooooooooooly shit that was hilarious
Feels like making profit is easier than ever this league at very low investment with strongboxes, legion, essences, altars... everything at low investment makes like 4div per hour minimum. I've tried multiple farming strategies from no investment up to around 1 div per map but I haven't found a solid way to break the 4-6 div per hour barrier yet. High investment crimson temple farming is probably my most successful method because you're looking for high value cards that are quick and easy to sell. Condensing loot is incredibly time consuming and "fun" for me is not having to do that for an hour after a good farming session.
I play on console and have realized it may well be a completely different game. The market on console is highly inefficient, smaller, and less liquid. There’s ridiculous opportunity - for example, yesterday, polished scarabs were 3x the price of a gilded scarab. The spread on divines is high - they can be bought at 175, but also at 225. Some strategies are entirely unavailable - nobody rolls sextants, so they’re not on the market, which means you can set whatever price you want. A low player base means that perhaps it’s 1-2 players that are supplying the entirety of the server’s fossils. A low player base means it’s a small subset of players running Ubers, which is why Omni is now 50d and there are only 3 max on the market at any given moment.
Console is a big private league with an asynchronous trade feature. If it weren’t for async trade, I think console would be unplayable - or rather, indistinguishable from SSF. These market mechanics have taught console players to craft, to utilize their resources, to be creative with builds, to run their own content. Need a double corrupted whatever? Get it yourself. Want a specific lab enchant? Run labs. Sometimes guilds can rely on each other to generate the things that each player is suited for - but really its more akin to playing in a private league. And I love ir.
completely agree with you mate. Said that, i have to tell you: do not ever block mana on armour/eva bases, cause they cant roll it basically. You block % inc. armour/eva if you wanna hit hybrid flat life and armour/eva. Basically the same goes for any non-intelligence base, hybrid or not. Found it kinda funny that you were saying "learn to craft to take advantage of items that drops" while doing that xdd dont want to be mean or anything. This game has so much depth that its just impossible to know about every detail
Idk why this got recommended when i was doing research on market manipulation but.
Every league i done the exact same thing, roll a mapper, spam 100% delirium (80% at league start) and just spam the exact same thing non stop, add a bit of profit crafting and flipping and well currency just flows in.
This league ive been trying some basic market manipulation aswell (pushed an item from 10-15~ div to 25-30) so that seems as a nice side hustle aswell, but my experience in this field is low for now.
I usually learn by getting scammed by ppl with more knowldge like I had no idea what are the best stuff to use extractors on and that fractured to all skills is expensive until i looked up both on poe trade.This is the first league i crafted explode chest because i couldn't find good or cheap one on market.
its not really a scam cos if u put it up for sale n no one buys it, its useless to u anyway, but maybe they can turn it to something better. u will know it very easily when u priced something too cheaply, because like 10 ppl will instant mesage u at once n u will know u are selling too cheap, then dont sell that and put a higher price and test the market again, and so on.
I made accidentally currency yesterday because the spider in arachnid nest dropped me a green rare storm jewel. Sold it for 4 divine instantly 😂
вот это ты жёсткий. научи фармить
You know a youtube video is serious when the red pointing arrows come out in the thumbnail
Knowledge = power. Power = currency!
This was the video I was looking for exactly, thank you. Need a good slap in my face.
Last league Legion emblems in bulk were like 65-75c , but due to ninja and stuff not updating, people were still putting them up in stacks of 5-20 for 20-40c, i just sat there and kept buying, made like 20 div under 10 minutes (they were selling for that 70c price instantly if you had 50+ btw )
And i just bought a 7 link helmet and stopped flipping them, could have made so much more if i cared about currency ....
Just an example.
One bad game away from shooting up a school is pure gold
best advise in all my time on POE
only seasons iv got more then 1000 divs in value have been when i spent first week rolling clusters. no fun allowed. but made everything from 1-100 divs an hour.
I try to split the 2 things this game gives me: making currency efficient/playing my character. For me i make most my money from buying chest bases with good rolls making them 6links for most common builds its like 2/4 divs per 1hour of crafting not counting the time i need to sell it
Man... I hated you so much that I blocked your videos to pop up for telling me to quit the game when I was just starting, but after a few leagues now I think I understand. Find what is fun for you and don't think about the currency. I play heist, blight and lab, and just alternate between these. I should be able to buy my first Mageblood in 2-3 days... Yeah, I'll probably going to have to join Patreon now.
So many players are blinded by all the clickbaiting youtube videos that they actually have no idea what they are doing. Ultimately it's the smart people with clear reasoning and logic that take the time to learn aspects of the game that come out on top (be it currency making or build making or many other aspects of the game), no matter how you look at it, and this is confronting for many people too.
Sorry I am late to this video, but it is pure gold. Tough love maybe, but love none the less. Thx Asmo for keeping it real. I hate to say this but, I have been Very guilty of some of the points you make. Non-specific T16 full clear farming and wondering why I make nothing. It can be a bit painful sometimes, but making currency is more fun than not doing so, to me at least. Cheers Asmo, you're the man, I have NEVER not made $$$ following your guides. All the best.
I do my old crap way as I missed so many leagues and years of POE, I feel like its way too much to learn and is very overwhelming. All I do is drop all my loot in 5C stash tabs, then if nothing sells, I would lower full tab to 3C and then scrap it. If I get 5 messages straight away, then I would check the real price of the item and put in separate sell tab priced correctly. Saves me a lot of time going through items checking them , +I dont know all the builds and some shitty item in my opinion may be BIS for some other build. Dont make much currency that way at all but it is what it is
Ima be honest, Im playing 100% for fun, I know harvest sells REALLY well (for example), Id def be making more if I did that more than what I do now (Ritual/Expedition) But I enjoy those mechanics and those mechanics are luck based, so Im willing to sacrifice money making for fun, But I really do appreciate the info, Its nice to see a straight honest answer instead of *DO THIS TO MAKE MONEY*
bro the 5:56 quote really hits at least for me because i'm a league player played serious one season grinding for the rank i wanted and i got it after that i haven't been grinding for many reasons but the main one was my job took 14+ hours from me a day while making shit money from it, got a much easier difficulty job but i'm still not trying to hit higher ranks because i'm trying to focus on my life and myself, as well as sleep which i can never get enough of apparently, but anyways point is i realized once i hit plat it's a make or break point in league most players that hit plat will never leave it grow an ego and can't improve because they don't allow in their head for them to be the problem creating an endless cycle of pain and agony for themselves in which they delightfully indulge, i play PoE mostly casually but i want to get better at the game so i'm starting to play it a bit more and trying to figure out what causes most of my deaths aside from messing with the league mechanic when i know i shouldn't and having bad gear and not being able to buy any because trade doesn't work, or craft any because i'm not the best crafter but i'm learning in the crafting aspect so we'll see what happens, i am also in need of experience tweaking builds because i followed one to the T and it isn't quite working right which is probably a gearing issue on top of bad internet, i can't wait to upgrade my internet and be able to play the game without spawning an essence mob or doing expedition legion or delirium without being completely frozen at 4k+ ping. always strive to learn from what happened and use it as experience for future proofing yourself. have a blessed league everyone many divvi and many reliquary drops for all of youn.
there is one currency strat that honestly you can compare to everyone else and should come out around the same and that is invitation rushing, since all u need to do is run into the map and get altars to spawn then leave. mine take a little longer cause i will stay in maps if i get a gilded or awakened sextant altar
I used to play competitive R6 / Apex, some other stuff too. But you can clearly tell how the fastest learners will gladly lose 10 games in a row, if it means they get to learn something. Playing a new build / new strategy / crafting items at a loss is only a bad idea in the short term, like a day to an entire league. I spent almost a mirror crafting an ice shot bow before quitting a league (where I got lucky with currency), and never hit the bow. I learned alot about craftofexile & mod weights during that league. Meanwhile I have friends who don't even want to touch crafting because "its complicated and expensive", while its fine to play like this, they will never get better at it
As an example for build making, people who make cool builds every league like Jungroan probably try and fail new builds all the time, which just means they'll learn something, even if its trivial as "oh this gem really doesn't scale well". These are the things you WANT to be learning for build making, and it'll be the same for any thing you want to learn. Failing is significantly more efficient for learning than succeeding in the same thing 10 times over
I can totally understand though people who don´t want to take such risk, because failures on such levels means losing a lot of hours of farming.
So author say that after I/you worked 8 hours in real life come and work some more hours in PoE... Thanks for suggestion....
Lmao! The league of legend reference is pretty accurate!
my goal in all the years was to complete all of the endgame content. After I reached my goal, I do not longer play PoE. Because for what..? I hope for PeE 2, with new content and bosses :)
I had this video on in the background while I'm running maps and 6:00 made me pause for a moment and die lmfao
Yeah why did he have to call us out like that.....
The example was a little complex, theres is no way someone learns that, but yes i understand that investing in knowledge like for example your heist series, help you grows a lot, good video!.
Im thinking that if you follow 1 mechanic, like only Delirium or only Legion and go all out on 1 thing, if you are trying to do everything, you might fall behind
This is the truth right here, at start of week 2 i decided to get a mageblood, spent like 18hrs a day farming & selling everything without even taking any small gamble (stacked decks kekw) & barely managed to get it at the end of week 2, but man was i so tired so im just chilling with it now heheh
Damn facts. That's me lol. I wanna make currency but honestly, after all the investment, I'm just trying to have fun. Just need a build to clear all content, not trying to minmax. Also, liquidate my loot.
As a noob my most solid way to get "rich" is to gather raw material or solid bases for people who do crafting and have money to spend. It's something I picked up from playing WoW where most profit comes from selling the items that other will use to complete something. In PoE I would farm beasts for Menagerie crafts for mirror item crafters, essences and enchant helmet bases in LAB after quickly checking Ninja. Most of my money has come from rolling clusters that I make for myself and If i hit multiple good ones I put it up for sale and some days I make 5 divs just playing learning the mechanics and other days people buy my bases and raw mats and rolled clusters for + 10-20 div. Its a fortune for a noob like me. Next league I will try Heist for fractures/ beasts to reroll fractures and Breach for Grasping Mails. You try different stuff every league as you learn the content and it changes what you do depending on league and what people find enjoyable.
Omg ‘perma-stuck play player who’s one bad game away from **** up a school’ dude that comment was outrageous!! 😂😂
I legit spit out my coffee.
Step N1 - RMT like iz latest Zizirans shorts. Step N2 - Win. Step N3 - Make fun of poor people. Step N4 - Repeat.
this video made me sub to you. love the explanations and the examples
Very good advice here!
I mean, if they’re prioritizing having fun over particular goal that they seem to want to accomplish in the game it looks like they’re just playing the game for fun and they should leave it at that
probably best video of poe i have watched :) i already went knowlege way and stopped do best farming builds, best divine per hour atlas tree and so on and instead of that i just enjoy the game and get knowlege :)
Thanks for the good laughs Asmodeus. Great vid bringing us back to reality
i learned how to solo build a decent rf build to delv around 180 depth early in league i stack resonator and boss loot until later to sell them and make a boss build to do the rest of the game content ><
it's deff not the best way to make currency but it folow my pace.
ah and rly like to do blight dc about it's state i always focus on blight after getting out of delve usualy land me my first 10 div and free annointments.
took me around two leagues to find what i rly enjoy tho the first league was almost absolute pain i basicly didn;t know that a trade systeme was in the game aside from the trade channel wich forced me to make my own 6 link and crafts basicly was playing ssf without knowing it
This dude spits FACT'S, big respect sir.
i havent watched the full vid so not sure id this piece of info is but what i can say to poep layers is to stop thinking big. I have this friend in POE who always complains that he isnt dropping divs or mb cards and im explaining to him my strategy of scarab farming but this dude is likle "but bro these scarabs are 5c at most" meanwhile im sat on 86 divs and he has none. whatever strat you are doing think about cumulative progress instead of one big jackpot.
The most efficient way of making currency in this game is buying it from bot farmers. Do what's fun, it's just a game after all. Don't waste your time learning countless and needlessly over-complicated mechanics of PoE just to squeeze a couple more divines out of your gaming sessions.
"One bad game away from shooting up a school" 😂😂😂😂😂
My face when heartstone players wanna have fun 😡, I love this guy ♥
I felt so attacked. Great video
I enjoy trading and it's hands down the most efficient way of making profit ingame. Out of all mechanics, properly incorrect pricing is by far the most complicated one of all.
That being said the thing that I keep doing ingame is gems. They always sell like hotcakes.
Biggest gripe with this game is having to play thru the story every time.
Thank you really good content.
Play 10 hours a day.
There is this !
SOLVED
How to make Currency as a Noob.. Find a niche. Blight, Delve, Harvest, Breach, or something. Play a lot and Sell....... Welp that's where people get stuck is not knowing how to sell properly. Just play and sell properly.
Oooor, you just get a Tornado shot build with quant and HH and do full juice on crimson temple. Easy money all day
@Asmodeus, what micro-transaction are you using in the clip? Its looks like floating when running trough labyrinth...
WoW actually a good video about farming, lol ! I came for clickbait and i stay for content.
People who are complaining about bad rng in chat just dont understand the game.
You opened my eyes, thx
That league comparison... God damn that was dark
even though it may be true and i guess it is what you said, my no. 1 goal is fun and making currency is just a tool for that - i don't want to play an economy simulation, watching meta, observing the market, trading this and that
i want to play the game... and ya, i want to make currency, too, but as a no. 1 priority - as u said, the goal determines the question. So my question would be more like, what's the most appealing way for me to make currency while actually playing the game, that means doing maps - so i like the alc and go strats without preparing sextants, scarabs and so on...
idk if im asking the right question, but i would love to be able to expperiement more with skills and build in POE but i always feel i cant since im new to endgame and making currency and therefore its harder for me to just get a unique or gear setup for something i want to test (if that makes sense) , i think the most fun for me would be a mode where i can slap on every item every skill just like taht and fool arround with whatever comes to my mind, is there a way i can achiev something like that in game and how would i go about it? ty for any answer ahead and like your videos^^
thats why I play only card games with booster draft modes, as otherwise "being good at the game" means "playing the meta decks" during current expansion, which completely kills feeling of overcoming a challenge
PoE is a market simulator with an attached minigame.
Nice vid, best way to learn crafting is going ssf for a league and not giving it up when the shit gear stops carrying you. :D
died at the one bad game away from shooting up a school XD
"one bad game away from shooting up a school" wooow way to call out my country lmao
flip currency. that's the best strat
Not really. Currency flipping only really works if you can scale it insanely high. And doing trades by hand that are making like 1 c Profit.
But crafting or flipping other stuff is definately the way to go.
Last week on my lunch breaks since my laptop is too weak, I did chaos -> awakened sextant -> div card -> divine orbs -> chaos and would make a couple divines
how to make currentcy in poe: buy every searing invitation on the market for 180c each and resell for a div once u got over 300-400 invitation, its a marginal profit per invitation and it works with any item, buy out the market and raise it by a bit to make profit buy having an enormous bunch of it :P
wow, scalping
what a greate advice
Yeah console trade is bricked prices are like triple compared to pc can’t wait to switch
Real talk. So many of those "Make X Div/hr videos aren't even that helpful to the people that need the most help. They're typically too high startup cost to get running. Usually you have to start with small gains before you can get into high profit schemes. If you can't afford gear for 1-2 Div, how do you expect to use that to buy maps and scarabs and compasses?
6:00 That escalated quickly lmao
I make enough currency to buy stupid stuff for a build, feel it's not worth the effort to fix and quit for the league.
As a trader (like real markets) I can honestly say that some of you PoE elite guys would make fantastic speculators.
Hi Asmo, there is any possibility for you to update your crafting video for the Toxic Rain Heist build? I really struggle with crafting and there is probably more people like me who will really appreaciate that. Thank you very much.
Thanks for your video :)
can you share the pob of the toxic rain build in the vid?
