What to do on this page

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

It only prints on map-drop whites. Bought bases plus orbs cost more than the 1-exalt Instant Buyout cluster.

Hard stop: Sampled Gold Ring life+dual-res Instant Buyouts sit at 1 exalt. Buying the batch is −EV. Vendor empty Magics — do not Exalt “to see.”

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

Only +EV on map drops, not bought bases

If you buy the tree (base + Transmute/Aug/Regal), you spend more than the 1-exalt dump. Only print if the rings dropped for free.

Currency Exchange: Orb of Transmutation 1 exalt · Orb of Augmentation 2.6 exalt · Regal Orb 2.1 exalt. Trade2 Instant Buyout for these orbs was empty — item-trade asks are not a fillable mat price.

Does this still make money today?

Use the same currency in every box, usually Divine orbs. Example: the finished item sells for 5, the base costs 1, and the currency you will spend is 1. You are 3 ahead, so continue.

Fill in all three prices.

Buy
Do not buy a pile today. Use dropped Gold / Ruby / Sapphire / Topaz rings. Trade2 whites are already ~1 exalt.
Sell this
Life + two resists, or life + rarity. On 2026-09-18 the cheap cluster was 1 exalt Instant Buyout (n=10 of 10k).
Session cost
Not a printer. Finished life/res rings Instant-Buyout at 1 exalt, and the orbs cost more.
Batch
If the ring dropped free, Transmute/Regal and list. If you have to buy the base, skip.
