Top Performers Breakdown

Countess Seske's Rune of Archery leads the market at 8.6 Divines—a bow meta staple providing extra projectiles. Beast runes like Farrul's Rune of the Chase (116 Ex) also shine for minion and martial builds.

  • Play 1: Flip Archery runes. The Very High heat means quick sales via Divine pairs.

  • MMOJUGG Pro Tip: Supply flood from beacons may tank premium rune prices by 50%+ historically. If the meta shifts from bows to wands, expect Archery runes to crash by 30% by Week 2.

Liquidity & Investment Strategies

  1. Arbitrage Opportunity: If 1 Divine > 140 Exalted, Exalted-priced beast runes are currently undervalued compared to Divine tops. Accumulate these and flip to Divines as the ratio compresses in mid-league.

  2. Hoard Risers: Storm Rune and Lesser Robust show low heat but high momentum (+300%) from the current elemental meta.

  3. Risk Management: Avoid flipping Low heat runes unless you are planning a long hold; the wide bid/ask spreads will devour your profits.

Path of Exile 2 Rune Economy FAQs

How do I determine a rune's true value in Fate of the Vaal?

Normalized value benchmarks vs. Div/Ex/C via poe.ninja—e.g., 8.6 Div means premium gear enabler. Factor meta: Archery for bows, beast for guardians. Tip: Cross-check ladder builds; ignore <10 heat outliers.

What's the best rune to flip for quick profit?

Countess Seske's Rune of Archery—Very High heat, stable Div pair. Buy at bid, sell ask same day. Yield: 5-15% on volume. Avoid Low heat; liquidity dries fast.

When should I sell high-value Low heat runes like Greater Rune of Leadership?

Hold until Week 2-3 when crafts meta peaks—current 5.9 Ex undervalues leadership scaling. Sell if vol spikes >1 Div/hr. Mechanism: Exchange pairs lock rates; monitor % change.

Are Ex-valued runes a better buy than Div ones early league?

Yes, if 1 Div >140 Ex (typical Week 1)—Farrul's Chase (116 Ex ~0.8 Div) underprices vs. 8.6 Div Archery. Strategy: Accumulate Ex runes, flip to Div as ratio compresses (Ex strengthens mid-league).

How does trade volume affect rune reliability?

High/Med (>10 Div/hr) = tight spreads, real prices. Low = volatile, wide bids. Pro: Farm High heat via temples; use for gearing. Risk: Low vol crashes on single dumps.

What's the outlook for rune prices through Fate of the Vaal?

Week 1 peaks fade 40-60% by Week 4 as supply normalizes. Bet on meta risers (beast/elemental); divest crashers like early Div premiums. Track poe.ninja daily.

Thanks for Reading

Rune prices are peaking with Archery at the top and beasts dominating the Exalted market. Master these trends to stay ahead of the Fate of the Vaal dip.
