    And this value still is the value of the soul core sold at the preorder but if you sell a little higher and wait for someone to buy them instead of selling to who just put a preorder you could do some more probably 10k ex instead of 9.5k

    The values of the base soul cores already went up 20% after this video came out and the value of the azcapas dropped 6%. So most people wont make a profit on a low starting capital.
    I'm just wondering if the base soul core you're using to reforge matters.

    • @Tenkiei
      @Tenkiei  15 днів тому

      Because the odds of getting Azcapa are relatively low, even at the prices where I did it you were gambling with low starting capital. The important thing to remember is the ratios and use those to price check for yourself and determine an expected profit / only risk currency you're willing to lose.

    • @Cheoklate
      @Cheoklate 15 днів тому

      @@Tenkiei My bad, I meant to say that you would need an even higher starting capital to see a profit now.
      Edit: After doing the math, you actually will not make a profit with the current prices based off of your previous returns. Previously you had a 27.7% ROI, 94.2Div/340Div. Now with a 20% higher base and a 6% cheaper azpaca you would make 0.00036% ROI.
      Do you think the base soul core matters for the reforge?

    You can’t just use these numbers without checking the stock on each value. With the amount you got you’re never gonna sell at the highest market price. You’re most likely gonna dump the market since you’re flooding it and it’s gonna be saturated rather quick especially now that you made a video about it. So yes the video is cool and about correct for your own purposes but it most likely crashed the market so nobody else should attempt it lol

      2) ua-cam.com/video/ckmlrI8Pd98/v-deo.html
      3) The Azcapa & Citaqualotl sold very quickly at the ratios in the video. Zalatl sold more slowly but over 200 went while I was asleep at the ratio, and the other ~60 at 3.5/1 div. The market might get saturated for a few days or a week and then people will forget.

      @@Tenkiei Here is something I will not agree. Let me explain why.
      2 weeks a go I did what you did, but invested 1 div (116 exalts) at the time. In 40 minutes I have managed to go from 1 div to 10 and that was insane.
      At same moment 6-7 of my friends were doing the same and they got so much ahead. One of them had a lot of money so from 1 div they turned around 30 divs in 2-3 hours.
      On the very next day we went on full mode of "printing" divines. And guess what happened ...
      From 3 divs I made 50 exalts. Then I went again and for 5 divs I made 1.
      So we have collect all together and invested around 30 divs to try it again. And guess what .. in 1 hours we lost all of it.
      My personal record was 67 times with not a single Azcapa. Can u imagine this ? They have nerfed this to the ground. All you can do now is to waste you divs.

    • @Tenkiei
      @Tenkiei  8 днів тому

      You would need to test with at LEAST 10x what you're talking about (300 div) before you can draw any conclusions / eliminate sampling bias. My first test involved over 100 Div and I still did a second test to confirm things (my numbers were within margin of error between the 2 tests, implying nothing changed between my tests.

    • @Tenkiei
      @Tenkiei  15 днів тому +1

      Yeah which is the case for a lot of gambling in PoE2. Buying 1 king in the mist invitation = gamble, buying 100 = should be consistent profit. Corrupting 1 item = gamble, corrupting 100 = profit. But there are other ways to make money, such as through crafting where the entry cost is much lower and you break even on "ok" items even if you don't hit something amazing.

      Now about what u said, ppl will forget it, but by the time they do the market will have already deviated to a more breakeven state ln this strat, or as close to not being very profitable as the ppl who remain doing it are willing to tolerate.
