Sell the scarce base

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.

Forbidden Rites pays for the base, not for life and resists. An Absent Amulet with no mods is already ~3 Divine. A +minion belt starts at 70 Divine.

Hard stop: 30% move speed plus life and a resist still Instant-Buyouts at 1 exalt. So do life + rarity gloves. That is not this craft.

Forbidden Rites sample · 2026-09-22 · 1 Divine = 530.8 exalt = 7.88 chaos

Sell it — the base already clears

Sell the base. Absent whites Instant-Buyout from 23 chaos (~2.9 Divine). +2 spell skills list at 4–6 Divine, +3 at 7–10 Divine. Any Refined Breach Ring floors at 5 Divine (239 hits; whites had no Instant Buyout). A belt with +1 minion skills floors at 70 Divine (116 hits). Life, resists, 30% move speed, spirit, and rarity are not this craft.

Cost to follow the tree
0.00 exaltListing a drop is free. Do not buy these to craft, and do not regal a white Absent to fish +3 — that spread is about 2 Divine on a +2 and you can miss.
Absent Amulet (cheapest Instant Buyouts were whites)
p25 23 chaos · median 25 chaos · n=4 of 1000023, 24, 25, 28 chaos. Bare base, no mods required.

Currency Exchange: Refined Sibilant Catalyst 5.55 Divine · Refined Reaver Catalyst 3.97 Divine · Refined Necrotic Catalyst 1.19 Divine. 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 these to craft. Sell the one that dropped. Whites of Refined Breach had no Instant Buyout — the rare is the 5 Divine floor.
Sell this
Absent white ~23 chaos. +2 spell skills ~5 Divine. +3 spell skills ~8 Divine. Any Refined Breach Ring ~5 Divine. Belt +1 minion skills ~70 Divine. Refined Sibilant catalyst 5.6 Divine, Reaver 4.0, Necrotic 1.2.
Session cost
Worked example from 2026-09-22, not a standing craft. Absent whites ~23 chaos. Refined Breach Rings ~5 Divine.
Batch
One item. List it. Regaling a 3 Divine Absent to fish +3 gives the spread away.

  2. DecideAre there several similar recent listings (a cluster, not one outlier)?
  3. DecideWould a conservative sale beat the cost of a small batch?
  4. DecideIs it an Absent Amulet, a Refined Breach Ring, a belt with +minion skills, or a refined catalyst?
