Article with AI for keywords
In Path of Exile 2, crafting and flipping materials remain one of the most popular ways to earn currency. In this video, the author conducted an experiment: they invested 500 Exalts to buy catalysts, reforged them, and sold the results to test the method’s profitability. Let’s break down the details.
Purchase: 2000 catalysts for 500 Exalts.
Selection: The author kept only Adaptive, Esh, Reaver, Xoph, and Chayula Catalysts, as the others seemed worthless.
Time: The process took ~50 minutes (from 14:02 to 14:51).
After processing, the yields were:
55 × Esh Catalyst
66 × Chayula Catalyst
59 × Reaver Catalyst
36 × Xoph Catalyst
91 × Adaptive Catalyst
Selling took another ~15 minutes (until 15:05), bringing the total time to ~1 hour.
Cost: 500 Exalts.
Revenue: +230 Exalts profit.
Net Profit: ~46% return on investment.
The author noted that the process could be further optimized for speed by streamlining reforging and selling.
