Today, we’re taking a slightly different approach to making Path of Exile 2 currency. Instead of focusing purely on flipping items on the market, we’re going to mix in some smart crafting techniques to maximize profit. Don’t worry—this isn’t a complicated crafting guide. You won’t need to follow step-by-step instructions to avoid breaking your items. Instead, we’re going to focus on fracturing Rattling Scaptors in the hopes of creating highly valuable items with plus four to all minion skills.
Why Rattling Scaptors Are a Goldmine
The key reason we target Rattling Scaptors is simple: a plus four fractured version is one of the most expensive bases for minion skill builds. On the market, these fractured items can sell for up to 5 divines, depending on rolls and additional modifiers.
During testing, I observed Rattling Scaptors selling for between 20 and 120 exalts, and they were dropping relatively frequently.
The “Dream Base” Strategy
Here’s the optimal approach for crafting Rattling Scaptors:
- Start with a magic rarity Rattling Scaptor that has plus four to minion skills.
- Augment the item to add additional modifiers.
- Use a Preserved Jawbone to gain a fourth modifier.
- Apply a fracture orb—this gives roughly a 33% chance of fracturing your plus four minion skill bonus.
The goal is to create the “dream base” with maximum minion skill enhancement.
Even if the fracture fails, the base item is still valuable: you can sell Rattling Scaptors for 60–100 exalts, depending on their Spirit level. Higher Spirit values will fetch more currency.
Maximizing Profit with Exalted Modifiers
You can further increase profits by slapping Exalted Orbs onto your Rattling Scaptors. Here’s what to aim for:
- 135 Spirit: Even with a failed fracture, resells for 1 divine.
- Over 140 Spirit: Resell for 2 divines.
- Allies deal increased damage mods: Can sell up to 3–4 divines.
This means even if you don’t hit your ideal fracture, the item can still be extremely profitable.
Alternative Fractured Crafting: Projectile Amulets
The second method involves plus three to projectile amulets:
- Purchase these amulets for 1–3 divines, depending on risk tolerance.
- Apply a fracture orb to potentially hit a valuable roll.
Success here can yield up to 12 divines per amulet, making this a highly lucrative method. Even failed fractures still allow resale for about 2 divines, though the items may sit on the market for a short while.
Conclusion
Fracturing items in PoE2 is a highly profitable endeavor when done strategically. By targeting high-demand bases like Rattling Scaptors and projectile amulets, and combining fracture orbs with careful augmentation, you can earn significant profits even if the perfect fracture doesn’t land.
Remember, the key is understanding market demand, Spirit values, and how to leverage Exalted mods to maximize returns. With patience and a bit of luck, fractured crafting in PoE2 can turn into a consistent source of currency.
