Boots: movement speed, then stop

What to do on this page

Set the league so the green links open the right Trade2 search.
Read the question under Walk the tree. Click a green link, look at the cheapest listing, then answer yes or no.
Type the three prices above before you spend anything. Continue only when the sale is higher than the cost.
Yes means do the next step. No means stop.

30% MS still sells — at the 1-exalt floor. That is a drop-and-list, not a buy-and-craft. 35% MS dumps at 5 exalt; ilvl 82 whites already cost more.

Hard stop: Essence of Haste is not MS. Essence of Hysteria is a 1.78 Divine rare slam — not this shovel. Sampled 30% MS Dragonscale Instant Buyouts are 1 exalt. Do not Horror a pair that would list at 1 exalt.

Forbidden Rites sample · 2026-09-18 · 1 Divine = 452.9 exalt = 8.47 chaos

Only +EV on map drops, not bought bases

Real 30% MS Dragonscale Instant Buyouts sit at 1 exalt (5,796 hits). Buying whites + Greater Transmutes cannot beat that. Map-drop MS still lists.

Cost to follow the tree: 2.3 exalt1× Normal Dragonscale (~1 exalt) + Greater Transmute per attempt. CoE ~5% any-MS prefix — 30% is only one tier of that. 35% MS dumps at 5 exalt; ilvl 82 whites already cost more.
Normal Dragonscale Boots: p25 1 exalt · median 1 exalt · n=10 of 7219/10 at 1 exalt; ilvl 82 whites jump to ~12 exalt–1 chaos
Dragonscale 30% MS: p25 1 exalt · median 1 exalt · n=10 of 579610/10 cheapest Instant Buyouts are 1 exalt with real 30% MS

Currency Exchange: Greater Orb of Transmutation 1 exalt · Greater Orb of Augmentation 5.0 exalt · Essence of Hysteria 1.78 Divine. Trade2 Instant Buyout for these orbs was empty — item-trade asks are not a fillable mat price.

Buy: Do not buy whites for this shovel today. Slam dropped ilvl 65+ Dragonscale / Cinched / Serpentscale / Sekhema. ilvl 82+ for 35% is a different, still-weak SKU.
Sell this: 30% MS Dragonscale p25 = 1 exalt Instant Buyout. 25% MS same. 35% MS p25 = 5 exalt.
Session cost: Not a printer. 30% move speed plus life and a resist still Instant-Buyouts at 1 exalt.
Batch: CoE: ~5% of Transmutes hit any MS tier. Misses are 1-exalt vendors. Hits are also 1 exalt. Batch does not save a bought craft.
