So you want to break the games economy and get rich easy because fuck everything right?
Well the way to do it is normal vaal runs (the final act2 boss).
This technique is months old, but was recently necro'd and made viewable to a lot more people.
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/50204/page/1Pretty much all you do is:
- get as close to max item quantity / rarity as you can on one person(450 is the maximum i believe)
- get 4-6 friends for the 50% item quantity boost per person (less people = less items = less profit ofc)
To optimize the farming you put a portal at the bottom of the stairs at the end of waterfall cave lvl2 and never move it. This is so you can skip running the WFClvl2 area each time.
You have someone with 5 quicksilver adrenaline flasks run the 3 areas up to vaal and makes a tp.
Then he leaves and begins running the 3 floors in a new instance while the person wearing the full item quantity & rarity gear / quantity boosters (the extra people) go in and summon vaal.
It is very important to have everybody in the room before you summon vaal because his difficulty and item drop are determined when the icon is clicked. So if only 2 people are in the room when you click to summon him then 2 more join after to have 4 total; he will only have health and loot scaled to 2 people even though there are 4 in the room with him.
Of course the guy with the item quantity / rarity gear needs to deal the killing blow.
We all know the chaos vendor recipe of 1 full set of gear sold to shop = 1 chaos orb.
Well, there's another chaos recipe that if you sell a full set of unid gear to the shop you get 2 chaos orbs.
Since all rares will be garbage (since they're lvl29 or so) you keep 3-4 unid pieces of each slot in your bank ( rings, amulets, belts are all rare as hell) and do the unid vendor recipe as you can.
Every extra rare you ID and sell to the shop for Alt shards and Augmentations which stack up very fast (also alch shards here and there). You will need tons and tons of ID scrolls (i was able to buy 240 per chaos with a bit of effort in trade chat, also transmutations / whetstones / scraps all sell for multiple ID scrolls at the shop).
I was averaging 4 chaos and 60-80 Alts per hour on my runs. This isn't even counting the uniques that dropped. That's around 400-500fg per hour minimum with a good group?
Uniques that can drop -
Geofri's
all rings
all amulets
wake of destruction
Whole bunch more; anything under lvl29 I believe.
Since the area is lvl29 and in normal the monsters can't even hurt you, so this is extremely easy to do in hardcore also
.
edit: The difference between 3 and 4 people being there seemed to be HUGE; so I'd recommend at least 4 people for a decent amount of rares to drop.
edit2: The runner doesn't get any loot since hes running ofc. So as part of the whole group thing everybody gives him a percentage of their alts/chaos.
If anything doesn't make sense lemme know.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
