Look up the sale first
Search the finished item before you buy anything. If nobody is selling it, do not craft it.
Path of Exile 2 · craft guide
Check today's prices. Then continue or stop.
This site does not choose an item for you, and it does not promise a profit. You look at Trade2, type the prices, and answer yes or no.
How to use this page
- Pick a budget. That is how much currency you can spend this session, in Divine orbs.
- Pick how you want to play. Many cheap attempts, a safer stop, or an item you already have.
- Open the card marked Start here. The next page asks one question at a time. Click a green Trade2 link, look at the cheapest listing, then answer yes or no.
- Type three prices. What the finished item sells for, what the base costs, and what you will spend. If the sale is higher, continue. If it is not, stop.
The Live numbers page shows old prices from a past league. Those are examples of the check, not items to buy today. Sampled on 2026-09-18.

Six things to remember
Sell a decent item
An item people are already buying is often better than chasing a perfect one.
Start from an item that is already partway done
Use a magic item that already has two good mods, or a fractured item someone else made. A blank item is usually a loss.
Stop when a craft misses
Vendor it or list it. Do not spend more currency hoping the next click fixes it.
Name the exact item
Decide the slot, the base, and the mods before you buy.
Check again every session
A craft that paid last week can be worthless today. Look up the prices again.
