Path of Exile 2: Orbs and Currency Making Tips

Today, though, I’ve got something special to share with you all. I finally reached a major milestone in PoE2—I hit 30 Divine Orbs! This is my first time reaching this amount, and let me tell you, it feels amazing. Honestly, I achieved this through a variety of methods, and today, I want to talk about how I did it. So, sit back, relax, and let’s get into the details.

 

Earning Currency Through Mapping

 

The easiest and most consistent way I’ve been able to make currency in PoE2 is by mapping. I’ve made around 10 Divines over the past couple of days, which to me feels like a lot (I know some of you might be making more, but hey, I’m happy with that progress). Mapping is an essential part of PoE2, and it’s one of the best ways to generate wealth.

 

When you’re mapping, one of the best things to focus on is juicing your maps. By “juicing,” I mean maximizing the quantity and rarity of the items that drop during your runs. The trick is to load up your maps with mods and items that increase these two stats as much as possible. I love stacking quantity and rarity mods on the towers. If you’re not familiar with towers in PoE2, they’re this mechanic that allows you to add powerful buffs to your maps, increasing the loot you get from running them.

 

You’ll want to prioritize boosting both quantity and rarity on these towers. Think of it like this: more quantity means more loot drops and more rarity means the loot you do get has a higher chance of being valuable. It’s a win-win.

 

Once you have a map juiced up with all these modifiers, you can expect a decent payout. Some of my maps have been filled to the brim with loot, and while you might not always get something super rare or valuable, the sheer volume of drops makes up for it. Plus, it’s fun to see your map explode with loot, right?

 

Another benefit of juicing your maps is that you’re effectively turning your time investment into a greater return. You may not always hit the jackpot, but when you get those big ticket drops, it feels worth it. And if you’re someone who enjoys the mapping process, this method is the way to go.

 

Crafting Your Way to Divines

 

Next up, we have crafting. Now, I’m not the best crafter in the world just yet—I’m still learning, and there’s a lot to figure out. But over time, crafting has become a very effective way for me to make currency. I’ve made around five Divines purely from selling crafted items. The key is to find the right base items, craft them, and then sell them at a good price.

 

When I first started crafting, I was pretty hesitant. I mean, who wants to fail with Exalts, right? However, I quickly realized that crafting is an essential part of making Path of Exile 2 Currency. Even if you don’t land a perfect item, you can still make a profit by selling what you’ve crafted. Don’t be afraid to throw some Exalts or other crafting materials into a base item. Worst-case scenario, it doesn’t work, but you’ve learned something for next time.

 

For instance, I’ve crafted a few items that have turned out pretty well. One item I’ve been trying to sell is a piece of gear with 30-27 on the deck. I haven’t quality it yet, but I’m confident that with some more investment, it could go up in value. The thing with crafting is that you don’t need to hit the perfect roll every time. The more you practice, the better you get at knowing what will sell and what won’t. Just be patient and don’t be afraid to experiment. The crafting system is deep, and there’s a lot of potential to make money by crafting items that suit the market.

 

At this point, I don’t even care about the little crafting currencies like Exalts and Corrupted Orbs anymore. I mean, sure, I’m saving the Divines for my main build, but the Exalts are mainly for crafting and juicing up my maps. The rest of the crafting materials, I’m happy to use them to craft and sell items that could potentially bring in more currency. It’s all about balancing the investment with the reward.

 

Organizing Your Stash and Running Trials

 

One area I still need to improve on is my stash. If you’re like me and you’ve been playing PoE2 for a while, you know how quickly your stash can get messy. I’ve got to admit, my stash is a bit of a disaster right now. But I’m planning on buying the map stash tab soon, and that should help me keep everything organized.

 

One thing I plan on doing to make more currency is running trials. Trials are a great way to test out different maps and strategies, and they can be pretty profitable if you know how to handle them. I’ll also be running Chaos trials to see if there’s more potential for currency generation in that area. Trials are also a fantastic way to work on your build because they often require you to deal with tougher bosses and harder encounters.

Right now, I’m still working on improving my build. I’m not a great boss killer just yet, but I’m working on it. Once I’m confident in my character’s power, I’ll start diving deeper into trials and hopefully bring back some solid cheap POE 2 Currency.

 

Final Thoughts and What’s Next

 

So, that’s pretty much how I hit 30 Divines in PoE2 so far. It’s a combination of mapping, crafting, and figuring out what items are worth selling. The process is a bit of a grind, but that’s part of the charm of PoE2—there’s always something to work on, and the sense of progression feels satisfying.

 

As for the future, I plan on continuing my mapping sessions and experimenting with crafting. I’m also going to delve more into running trials and Chaos maps once my build is ready. If you’re looking to make currency in PoE2, just keep grinding, keep learning, and don’t be afraid to take risks in crafting. It’s all part of the journey.
