Afaik that's simply not a thing in HC leagues as literally nobody on earth gives one single miniscule fuck about perma HC. So the expected and predictable economic patterns in leagues do not match. | ||

Obviously this requires you to both play enough league HC to buy exalts, and care about wealth in Standard, which must be a pretty small overlap. | ||

Obviously this requires you to both play enough league HC to buy exalts, and care about wealth in Standard, which must be a pretty small overlap. You wouldn't want to die to dump them to standard. You can sell HC currency for standard currency and get better exchange rates. | ||

I've been trading less the past league or two but the whole thing is still really fascinating to me, especially since I thought I'd absolutely hate player to player trading and market when I first got into the game. If you find this kind of stuff interesting, you should consider a career in finance =D. The price trend is driven by supply and demand, and is also commonly known in the investment world as price momentum. In this game, it becomes a self reinforcing mechanic where if the price of some currency is trending up, more people selling gear will demand to be paid in that currency, creating more demand pressure, which drives up prices more. Eventually it gets to a unsustainable level and starts to crash, starting a negative selling trend where you can then make profit again with the reverse trade. The problem is you need to become wealthy enough to stock up on exalts when the price starts to go up, to do this without a lot of chaos to begin with wont turn a huge profit. If you are rich, super high end gear (I'm talking about a handful of listings after you put in all the filters on poe.trade) is worth hoarding at the beginning of the league, they almost always go up in value. Also I found that if you have time to crawl through all the popular guides on the official forums and snatch all the key high end items for those builds, you can also make a lot of currency without ever playing the actual game. I'm a terrible farmer when it comes to actually playing the game for loot. I geared most of my chars via trading in the Harbinger's league. | ||

 Yeah I got to the point in 3.1 where I was doing more trading than playing. It's objectively more lucrative most of the time but I'm making a conscious effort not to fall into that trap again and just play, even if progress is slower. Playing some SSF really put some perspective on the game. Plus, slower progress and upgrades just means each one feels that much better lol | ||

I don't really know where to go ask and I've done only like 80-200 maps in abyss leag when I tried to sustain t10 toxics and back then it definitely was loss. Currencycop is also down so keepnig track would be pain now. | ||

If you're going full atlas strats (i.e. burial chambers is your only t3 and there's no t4's on your entire atlas), it's all about the currency returns, and that depends on your own IIQ. Alch sustain should be no problem, but you'll probably need to buy sextants from what I hear. My guess is that chisels are probably less worth it than sextants, but that's purely anecdotal. | ||

Hmm I got less quantity and I can sustain alchs and got extra but I pick up more random shit I guess (uniques and some rares if I got room before portaling out). To be clear I am not farming burial grounds, I alch all the maps I run, be they t1 or t16 and I never run out of alchs and the pile keeps growing. | ||
