Amulet · Transmute / Aug / Regal, then optional omen exalt

Amulet: spell damage + intelligence, sell the mid

What to do on this page

  1. Set the league so the green links open the right Trade2 search.
  2. Read the question under Walk the tree. Click a green link, look at the cheapest listing, then answer yes or no.
  3. Type the three prices above before you spend anything. Continue only when the sale is higher than the cost.
  4. Yes means do the next step. No means stop.

The 2-mod mid exists and is liquid — at 1 exalt. Buying a batch does not beat that. Omens make it worse.

Hard stop: Greater Essence of Sorcery does not apply to amulets. Sampled 2-mod Lapis Instant Buyouts are 1 exalt — do not spend omens to “make it worth it.”

Forbidden Rites sample · 2026-09-18 · 1 Divine = 452.9 exalt = 8.47 chaos

Only +EV on map drops, not bought bases

Spell damage + int Lapis Amulets dump at 1 exalt (2,664 hits). Buying a batch to Transmute/Regal is not +EV.

Cost to follow the tree
7.4 exaltNormal Lapis (~1 transmute) + Transmute/Aug/Regal. Omens are extra and the 2-mod mid does not pay for them.
Normal Lapis Amulet
p25 1 exalt · median 1 exalt · n=10 of 13746/10 at 1 transmute, rest 1 regal
Lapis Amulet spell damage + intelligence

Currency Exchange: Orb of Transmutation 1 exalt · Orb of Augmentation 2.6 exalt · Regal Orb 2.1 exalt · Omen of Dextral Exaltation 6.1 exalt. Trade2 Instant Buyout for these orbs was empty — item-trade asks are not a fillable mat price.

Does this still make money today?

Use the same currency in every box, usually Divine orbs. Example: the finished item sells for 5, the base costs 1, and the currency you will spend is 1. You are 3 ahead, so continue.

Fill in all three prices.

Buy
Use dropped Lapis / Jade / Amber. Sampled Normal Lapis is 1 transmute. Skip unique chases.
Sell this
Spell damage + intelligence. Sampled p25 = 1 exalt Instant Buyout.
Session cost
Wrong base. Lapis spell+int is 1 exalt. An Absent Amulet white is ~23 chaos before any spell level.
Batch
List the 2-mod if it dropped free. Do not omen-exalt a 1-exalt SKU.
