[Path of Exile] Crafting Flasks for Profit: A Definitive Guide

[@soundtorial4567]

Man i love this game. Imagine trying to explain to an outsider why u would enjoy watching a 90 minute video of spreadsheets about flask crafting lmaoooo

[@BeltonPoE]

Hahaha BIG facts 😂

[@Synky]

So trueee

[@gustavmoritz9811]

Just found your channel a few days ago and for a POE beginner like me your videos are really inspiring and awesome, learning new things by the minute. Keep posting these awesome videos man, love from Sweden!!

[@MrJtinnin]

Most value for time spent of any poe content creator. You're right up there with sir gog for me man keep it up!

[@yannlemarie1128]

Amazing ! Discover you at 7:00pm and still reading your website / watching your videos 4h later, you made my day man, i didin't play poe this evening !

[@BeltonPoE]

Humbled my man. Very glad to hear it has resonated / struck a chord, that’s why I made it. Thank you for kind words 🙏🏻

[@WeR2VEVO]

You're getting a lot better at making videos man, really appreciate the amount of work you put into this one. I remember you mentioning that you're kinda new to KZbin and editing and so on, and I feel like Path of Matth's old videos and maybe Lolcohol who also makes crafting videos might be good inspiration when it comes to structuring your content and getting below that 1 hour mark. That being said, this video is awesome and all your recent content has been awesome too, thank you so much for that. Also, I personally like how a lot of these feel like money making "updates", or just off-the-cuff content just catching people up to things you came up with (which doesn't really apply to this video, which is more structured). Gives the viewer the feeling that they're alongside you for the journey of learning about every profit strategy in PoE.

[@RamundHallgrimsson]

Thanks for all you're doing. Haven't learned this much about profit crafting since I've discovered Matth back in 2019. Hope you get many more subscribers in the near future, you deserve it.

[@Moozerty]

Youre' doing huges work Belton, I suspect your channels gonna skyrocket if you keep pumping good content like that

[@Love-kq7iy]

This was so amazingly good, please keep putting this kind of stuff out. I've done flask crafting but never to this level of detail. I learned so so much

[@lvtricky1206]

By far the best POE channel ive ever watched

[@BeltonPoE]

Humbled by that my man, I'm really glad you like it.

[@tomaszjakis4568]

@@BeltonPoE Hey sir, could u advice please if its worth during the weekend buying item like: touch of kalandra ring? u think after the weekend price will go down or up? atm its 55 divines...yesterday was for 47 divines...thx for advice.

[@soundtorial4567]

Facts. Big brain belton

[@xRawPower]

Just had this recommended to me despite having watched it when it first came out. This video has made me probably in the range of ~2k divines - I leave utility flasks on my filter now ffs. Cheers dawg, keep going.

[@damons3253]

long format is kinda nice, though having the chapters in the sections above would be cool also. thanks flask daddy keep up the good work!

[@Freedom-kl8rt]

this is real content..thanks for all the information..95% of youtubers are clickbait..this is the real thing..you deserve a lot more subscribers..

[@АнтонГаврилов-ц8е]

made ~4 divines spending 1 divine for alterations. Didn't pay for bases because I was just picking them up from the floor. HUGE thanks for the video. Best farming channel I've seen.

[@saydown6431]

Found your channel just a week ago. Your videos are the best to describe how to go further on league market that i've found! Keep on going man, nice vid!

[@denncaft4032]

One of the best videos I've ever seen on PoE. SO much work put into preparing and presenting all this information - keep it up man!

[@Himbayo]

Seems like you are a staple in my poe diet already, anything you put out I'll watch. Thanks for the great content, and don't forget to relax from time to time.

[@saurav6250]

You're a hidden gem brother! Thank you for sharing such awesome details.. Made my first 70ish div in this league.. Never had that much currency (:

[@beasthaven1571]

From flask?

[@fbwhitey]

Ok so im only 3 minutes into this video and its already clear just the time & effort put in to this video alone deserves the like and subscribe from me. Amazing job dude!

[@screwdajuice]

This channel is a literal gold mine of beneficial information for any PoE player.

[@lllcodalll]

ive been playing this game for years, watched tons of content creators, and no one does it like you Belton. I feel like this one video is worth years of gold, not just 1 hour. thanks bro

[@BeltonPoE]

Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoyed

[@Hescar1]

Dude you are given great info! im learning more on crafting than actually making money (I play almost like a SSF player on trade and I try to craft as much as I can)

[@Blamzite]

Just wanted to say I haven't had time to watch the videos yet but I've stashed then all away keen to learn the mirror mans tricks

[@onefyasko]

So late but flask daddy - also, thanks, I've made 60 div in like 3 hours using your tips from the last few days. As you said the market shifts as this is happening but the general strats apply to so many options in the game. Just need to seek the opportunity.

[@AndrisVilde]

First time watching your videos you sounded like finance scam dude with all those buzz words like Bread & Butter etc. but the data and proof you provide in your in depth videos is just gold mine. Legit PoE Finance Daddy 💰! Respect for sharing all this info. Regarding flasks, I had no idea there is a market for that even after playing PoE for 1.2k hours. 😅

[@bro_1337]

I don't even really play the economy, but I still love watching economy-based content. Very interesting.

[@kazetag.3177]

Hi first of all thanks for the video and sorry for bad english, is not my first language. I wanna ask something because maybe im wrong but im seeing a flaw in the calculations in the annul + augment section (1:01:00). Lets talk about the Diamond flask as example. 1) If u buy the base for 100c, but u said that u need 10 of them to be able to augment 7.4 of them then is 1000c investment in the flasks. 2) To be able to augment 7.4 of them u need 14.8 annuls so is 75c investment in annuls That makes it 1075c of cost. Netting a 75c lose. To be fair, you just need 7.4 flasks in average to be able to augment 7.4 times because u can augment 3.7 first time, 1.85 second time, 0.925 third time, ...... and this leads to a geometric progression that nets u 7.4 tries on average per 7.4 flasks. Is that why u multiply the cost per 7.4 instead of 10? Any way the point of needing double the annuls i think is correct. Am i missing something?

[@Slavalk]

I swear I laughed for 3 minutes straight at "What's going on, flask daddies?"

[@benjamindains6906]

I know you made this a year ago, but I learned so much. 👍 Here is a sub and a like.

[@NickNameGone]

Definitely subbin here, crafting is something I didn't really get into until Sentinel (and playing since Beta lol). And till now only crafting to save currency on my needs.

[@erikbichert9850]

I love ur videos, what i love to see how u make ur mirror tier gear so i could understand crafting mirror tier items more its my goal since i started but never reached it since i always run out of currency and sometimes do stupid things that cost way to much

[@typhonnook8223]

Worth every minute watching. I watched the whole thing so great video.

[@espiritued]

You are a god. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you so much for helping us plebs out.

[@borislavivanov4092]

Would be awesome to put timestamps for different points of the video. Appreciated the video. Good content, keep it up!

[@kintsugittv2537]

This man graduated GGG university. Jokes aside, you just saved me a lot of money. I was selling my flask for 120c. A guy told me I could make it into 2 divines, explained how. And then told me to check you out. You are helping us out! You better watch out though, or you won't have anybody making the mistakes of selling them wrongly. ;)

[@suprshotmix85]

Hey great videos your stuff has been popping up lately watched this video then bought a ilvl 85 granite flask for 5c hit T1 all res plus effect sold within 5min for a really nice profit thank you Flask Daddy 😀 👍

[@Pathoslogical]

39:14 great point my man, this is so true

[@bromanshiptv6857]

Thanks for the video! I found it very insightful. I’m a noob, and would like to make flask crafting my primary currency generator next league. After watching this, I have a pretty good understanding of what crafts to look for and how to make them. I have a few questions, that I hope you’ll take the time to answer: 1. Do you focus exclusively on mageblood flask crafting? I’ve just discovered the poor man’s mageblood method of automating utility flasks. Is there not also a market for these? (Gain a charge on crit, use when full charges) 2. Would it be worthwhile for me to spend the remainder of this league learning how betrayal works so I can quickly get to hillock 28% crafts? 3. What is the best window for getting these flasks on the market? 3 days in? 1 week? 2 weeks? I have no idea when people are really getting magebloods Thanks for all your help!

[@edwardtan7283]

I literally start crafting a few flasks half way through the video and made about 4 divines by the time it finished.

[@BeltonPoE]

Awesome dude keep up the good work! 📈

[@alwaysstraddling]

Doing great job, as many others have said. Of course you can't please everybody, but I can't recall someone I started following and watching almost the full videos immediately when finding you.

[@hippity_lol]

Awesome guide! You touched on pretty much everything that I do in a pretty clear and concise way, I would HIGHLY recommend using TFT to bulk buy Flask Bases, you would be surprised how many people have been just saving up flasks for the whole league and just sell you 30-40 at once. Asking people when you buy flasks if they have any more also works out sometimes, every other trade I find a guy that has 3-4 of the flask base I want instead of buying one at a time. Cheers! Also, the spreadsheet can be accessed just by typing in the link if you care at all about that, shown both in the document towards the end of the video and in the taskbar throughout the video.

[@colejones9406]

I stopped playing for the past 2 leagues but I did about 2 mirrors 3 leagues ago from just flasks, I found suppliers where I would buy each flask for 6c each and get a few hundred from them at a time.

[@adamjackson7585]

Requires access now I believe. Tried and didn't get in.

[@lendial]

late to the party but this still works. sometimes ill just throw a few dozen alts on some flasks and get a divine or more out of it.

[@mykalbuckner1981]

Very cool video. I really enjoyed it! Cool to learn new things.

You can actually sell other prefixes for a lot too - perfect rolls of anything that affects charges is usefull for people running builds with permanent flasks without mageblood.

[@benbecker3210]

Normally don't comment much on KZbin. But I just started this season and you videos are incredible for noobs like me. Experienced people can watch shorter videos cause they know all mechanics. But noobs like me need step to step

[@arthursolans5099]

nice video man, loveing the content and the fact that you post often im going to promote you to my friend you deserve it ;)

[@ScottySkilz1]

i wish you came to youtube sooner bro.....most of this stuff i already knew except the craft weight and such. I would tell any1 new to the game this is a good way to get some money early in the league because it's really easy to understand compare to end game crafting gear and people like decent rolled flasks so you can always stop on a flask if you get a decent outcome, always check the market before to see if there is a over saturation of flask you are trying to roll. it just means it might take longer to sell. which is fine people are always buying flask and it will sell 100% guaranteed, especially the first few days. people don't have a lot of currency early but they will eventually and every1 uses flasks.

[@rocksteady8232]

this is best PoE related video i ever watch and it is 1.26 hr long, god damn James wtf :D

[@CrackBitchOnCraigslist]

I've done this for the first time in Sanctum. I just had a feeling that it could help me reach my goals tremendously. I had 2 Persons tell me to stop craft them and just run maps. That quickly changed when I made about 20divs worth of chaos just selling flasks in like a week. I'll definitely keep doing that for the start of next leagues.

[@martingerbaldo]

what is the problem ? you can craft the flasks and map at the same time

[@CrackBitchOnCraigslist]

@@martingerbaldo What they meant is stop crafting flasks alltogether because it's a waste of time.

[@beasthaven1571]

@@CrackBitchOnCraigslist is it really a waste isn’t than enough profit in a week to support a build

[@CrackBitchOnCraigslist]

@@beasthaven1571 It's them saying it's a waste of time, not me. I still craft flasks because it's immensely profitable. Or what do you mean?

[@trymusic4life]

Can you please explain me in plain language how noob like could repeat your success? Like, buy flask X. Roll with alterations till you get Y. Then annul it. Use Katarina's recipe and so on. Sorry to disturb you. I have watched this video till 40th minute and have so many questions yet. Can I contact you in game Justin Albertsen? Many thanks

[@joelcuerrier4833]

I'm amused you caught on to this as much as I did. The best league was scourge for flask crafting. For one thing, default neversink filter had not adjusted yet and was happily hiding all flasks in t16 maps. So people all had horrible flasks and had to go on market to buy better ones. At this point, just your basic white flasks that wasn't crafted could sell for 40c. Then I'd have sales all the time from flasks, not all of them near perfect. Just putting as many permutation of good mods together for sale. Not sure where it's at this league where alts have become incredibly cheap. Playing ruthless now, so out of this type of market. I cannot say I'm super happy when people recommend doing what I always have done, as the more it is known, the more the supply of good flasks go on to exceed the demand for them. Like early league, week 1 or so, you can't craft flasks because everyone sell them for pennies. But it ramp up fast in value as people stop caring to loot them or craft them. The obvious thing always is that everyone playing any build will need some sort of flasks and most people want basically the same things. So the demand is always there, to me it's only worth doing once prices hit a certain level. As in I don't wanna compete if people price flasks 10-20c even if it profitable.

[@adamjackson7585]

More please!

[@jenshansenhavde]

Can you make a video covering fun and interesting currency strats that do not involve crafting or flipping

[@Jodeldihoo]

Checking the current prices, it feels like either many people have caught up or something changed. Well rolled and enkindled mageblood flasks go for 1div. So the profit margin seems to be drastically lower than before. Am I missing something?

[@BeltonPoE]

Mageblood is a lot more expensive this league , less demand perhaps or it might just be that people have caught up to the crafters market . Diamond of incision and granite of armadillo tend to be 2 of the most expensive - use those as a benchmark
