Welcome, Exiles! If you’re looking for efficient ways to make currency before the new Path of Exile 2 season begins, you’re in the right place. While some methods may need minor tweaks with upcoming updates, most of the strategies in this guide should remain effective. I’ll also update or remove this guide if there are significant changes.
If you’ve watched other currency-making articles, much of this may be familiar. However, these are my personal favorite methods, complete with real-world results and practical tips. Let’s dive into the best strategies for making Exalted Orbs, Divine Orbs, and Mirrors of Kalandra in Path of Exile 2.
Best Currency-Making Methods in Path of Exile 2
1. Trading and Crafting (High Investment, High Returns)
Trading and item crafting are consistently the most profitable ways to make currency, though they can be tedious. Many players have amassed multiple Mirrors of Kalandra without even completing all maps simply by flipping items in their hideouts. If you enjoy trading and can invest time in market research, this is one of the best ways to generate wealth.
Tips for Profitable Trading:
- Buy underpriced meta items and resell them for a profit.
- Engage in bulk trading for popular crafting materials.
- Watch market trends and take advantage of item demand shifts.
However, I personally prefer active gameplay over sitting in a hideout. So, let’s move on to more engaging farming methods.
2. Mapping (Efficient, Engaging, and Profitable)
Mapping is my favorite way to make currency in Path of Exile 2. The key to maximizing profit is choosing the right maps and mechanics.
Ideal Map Setup:
- Modifiers: Focus on maps with high quantity, rare and magic monster density, and mechanics that boost loot drops.
- Preferred League Mechanics: Rituals and Breaches.
- Team Composition: One DPS and one loot collector for efficiency.
Notable Drops:
- Omen of Whittling: Sold for 16 Divine Orbs.
- High-tier Unique Drops: Chance to find Mirrors of Kalandra or valuable Divines.
Fast mapping is crucial—quantity and speed are king. With optimized setup, you can consistently pull in significant currency every session.
3. Trial of the Seas (Extreme Endgame Profits)
One of the most profitable high-end farming methods involves running Trial of the Seas. With around 50 runs, you can expect to make anywhere from 2,200 to 2,700 Exalted Orbs, once all drops are converted.
Expected Loot from 50 Runs:
- 15 to 20 Desperate Alliances (Worth 3–4 Divines each)
- Magic Relics with Increased Quantity (Can be incredibly expensive)
- Time-lost Catch Relics
- Call of the Spectrum Relics (Highly valuable, up to 5 Divines each)
Jackpot Drop:
- The Last Flame Relic – 370 Divine Orbs!
While running 50 Trials can be costly in terms of investment, the potential profits make it a top-tier currency farming strategy.
4. Trial of Chaos (Beginner-Friendly and Profitable)
If you’re just starting out, Trial of Chaos offers an easier entry point into currency farming.
Key Drops:
- Adorned Unique Diamond: Worth 100 Divine Orbs (unidentified).
- Soul Core of Aapa: One of the most expensive soul cores, valued at 1,400 Exalted Orbs.
- Shield Machin: Requires three socket corruption to be valuable.
Additional Tips:
- The boss fights can be tough, so build defenses accordingly.
- Some drops require multiple fate items from different bosses.
- Current exchange price for three Web Fates is 530 Exalted Orbs.
Given the drop rates, this is a long-term farming strategy, but one with substantial rewards.
Conclusion
These are some of the best POE2 Currency-making methods in Path of Exile 2 right now. Whether you prefer trading, mapping, or endgame boss farming, there’s a method to suit your playstyle. I’ll continue updating this guide as new information surfaces with future patches.
TL;DR – Quick Recommendations:
- Trading & Crafting: Best long-term, but requires patience.
- Mapping (Breach + Rituals): Fastest and most enjoyable currency farming.
- Trial of the Seas: High investment, high reward (Jackpot potential: Last Flame Relic).
