Profit from Unique Crafting in POE 2

The Strategy: Turning Unique Boots into Divine Orbs

The focus of our strategy today is a particular type of boot that is very popular with Summoners - Bones of Ullr. These boots start at a modest price, typically around 3-4 Exalted Orbs, but with the right crafting they can skyrocket in value. Here's how to do it:

Choosing the right boots: First of all, you want to pick boots that sell for 3-4 Exalted Orbs, ideally without any corruption or sockets. This will keep your initial investment low, which is key to this strategy.

Adding Sockets: Before you start playing, make sure you add sockets to these boots. Sockets are cheap, costing around 0.6 Exalted Orbs per attempt, which is a small price to pay for potentially huge rewards. Remember, the right socket setup can increase the value significantly.

Playing with Vaal Orbs: Here's where the excitement begins. Use Vaal Orbs to gamble on these sockets. The aim? Hit the sweet spot of 23% less Spirit Reservation, which can turn these boots into items worth 3 Divine Orbs. Even if you don't hit the jackpot, getting two sockets can still net you 1 Divine Orb.

Understand the market: Even if you don't hit the jackpot, these boots still have value. If you don't get the 23% reservation, you can resell them for around 1-3 Exalted Orbs, which means you won't lose much, if anything, on your investment.

Practical tips

Timing is everything: I've seen friends make a lot of money by timing their buying and selling.Keep an eye on the market; sometimes you can pick up these boots for as little as 1-2 Exalted Orbs.

Use trade filters: To find these boots efficiently, use trade filters.Set your filters to look for boots without corruption or sockets to keep costs down.Active searching can help you find deals quickly.

Risk management: Remember, this is gambling.Although the potential is high, not every roll will be a winner.But with an average resale value of 2 Exalted Orbs, you'll be playing with house money after a few tries.
