Rings: Greater essence dual resist + life

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 in the price check before you spend. Continue only when one successful attempt clears its economic cost. That is an asking price, not a confirmed sale.
Yes means do the next step. No means stop.

It does not print in this sample. The filler SKU is so flooded that guaranteed dual-res cannot beat the dump.

Hard stop: Do not fracture these. Sampled dual-res Gold Rings Instant-Buyout at 1 exalt. Two Greater essences already cost more than that.

Same math as belts: two Greater resist essences (~6 exalt) into a 1-exalt Gold Ring dump. Do not buy this printer.

Cost of one attempt: 7.3 exaltGold Ring + two Greater resist essences. Optional life fill does not lift the cheap cluster. This figure is one attempt. It is not the expected cost of retrying until the craft hits.

Warning. Not recommended for profit under current assumptions.

Currency Exchange prices in this sample (not all of these are required spend — use the one-attempt cost above): Greater Essence of Insulation 3.7 exalt · Greater Essence of Thawing 2.6 exalt · Greater Essence of Grounding 1.9 exalt. Item-trade asks for these orbs are not treated as a fillable currency price.

Sample size and listing depth

Starting item: 10 comparable listings priced. Listing depth: 1891 search hits.
Finished item: 10 comparable listings priced. Listing depth: 10000 search hits.

Listing depth is how many search hits were reported. It is not observed turnover and it does not prove a quick sale. The priced rows are the cheapest listings in that search, collapsed by account.

Price check for one attempt

Use the same currency in every box, usually Divine orbs. This compares one successful attempt with an asking price. It does not add the cost of failed retries.

Fill in all three prices. An empty box means the price is unknown, not zero.

What to buy: Skip. Sampled Normal Gold Rings are already 1 transmute–1 exalt — same as the finished sale.
What counts as success: Life + two elemental resists. Sampled Instant Buyout p25 = 1 exalt (n=10 of 10k).
Cost guidance: Not a printer. Two high resists on a life Gold Ring only lift the sale to ~10–20 exalt.
After a miss: A batch of −EV rings is still −EV. Recheck CX vs the cheap cluster before buying essences.

Assumptions

How the money figures are calculated

Costs and resale use the same currency, usually Divine orbs. Nothing here is guaranteed profit. Estimated resale value based on asking prices. Completed sales are unknown unless you record one yourself.

Cost of one attempt: Starting item + consumables for a single try. This is not the cost of retrying until the craft succeeds.
Expected total cost: Cost of one attempt × items you will craft, when each item is attempted once. The batch planner uses this. It does not model a chain of retries on one item.
Required starting capital: Cash you need before you start. If you buy the starting item, that is its price plus consumables. If you already own it, the cash you need is the consumables only.
Estimated resale value based on asking prices.: An asking price from comparable listings, or a number you type. It is not a confirmed sale. Comparable listings and listing depth count offers, not turnover.
Expected net profit: Estimated resale − starting item − consumables, for one successful attempt. Failed attempts are extra. In the batch planner, expected average profit uses an assumed mix of outcomes, including misses and salvage you enter. That mix is not a measured hit rate.
Return on investment: Expected net profit ÷ economic cost. The denominator is the full economic cost, including the starting item. ROI is undefined when that cost is zero.
Already own the starting item: Additional currency spend is the consumables. Economic profit still subtracts what the starting item would sell for today. Owning a valuable item does not make it economically free. Cash left after a sale (resale − consumables) is a different number, and the plan shows both.

Not included unless a note on the route says otherwise: trade fees, a selling discount, time to sell, and the chance you finish inside a budget. This site does not turn one average into a probability distribution, and it does not estimate sale time from listing counts.

Three different questions stay separate. Crafting success probability is how often the mods land. Market-data confidence is how much you can trust the asking prices. Estimated profitability is the money result under the assumptions above.
