How to craft efficiently early end game?

I'm able to do Tier 9/10 maps, 11 is too much at the moment and I need to upgrade most of my gear but a lot of the crafting guides call for ridiculously expensive materials like: Divine/Annulment/Fracture orbs, Omen of Abyssal Echo, Ritual Omens, etc.

I just sold an Omen of Light for 300+ Exalted cause I was dirt poor. How can I get the most out of trying to craft stuff myself using cheaper items, essences, etc?

Sorry you can't go much further without willing to spend heavily. End game maps are for the ones with top gear and above average builds. Best bet is grind for currency and only use it on something that is game changing.

If im being honest crafting still scks, because it caters to the top 10% of the player base who can make enough currency. U cant even gamba upgrade gear because every endgame upgrade requires divs not exalts. It looks fun to craft something of your own, and it actually functions well.

But as i said its too expensive to try upgrades, u can just learn it with minimum currency and be done with it. Go farm currency and buy your gear and spend hours in hideout cus u know its poe2 u are not meant to play the game.

BUT its still better than waiting upgrades from drops, like you know how it and should works in aarpgs. At least we are heading in a good way and they can change shi up.

You have it totally backwards. It's not unwillingness to spend, it's the inability to spend due to lack of currency.

Any craft that requires a more that 2 Divs, when you still only on T10 maps will be more than you have in currency.

OP is asking how to craft 1/2 decent items when all the guides are for endgame when you are not broke.

I'm easily doing T15's but I am still broke, so still mainly run t15 Blues till I can afford or craft better gear.

At that point it should be enough to look for a base with 2 good stats (or use tier 2 trans and augs) then use a essence with another stat u need and after that abyss it. At the end u can throw 2 ex on it and pray.

The other way: Just buy it, you can get some decent gear for cheap.

i thinkg we need ssf-race events to make valid points of craft/farm/progression/balance and overall state of a game.
Overwise developers cant grasp the real state of the game, bacause most of progression happens on trade = ie irrelevant as it basically means p2w.

U should probably just buy upgrades. Items around 5-20ex are enough to carry u to T15 maps.

Crafting deterministic in PoE2 is very expensive, so u shouldn't do it until u have enough currency laying around or buying upgrades would exceed the cost of crafting.

If you still need to include the word "early", you cannot craft efficiently.
It's not a thing.

You ask "How can I get the most out of trying to craft stuff myself using cheaper items, essences, etc?
But unfortunately, the only answer to that question is the way you get the most out of the cheaper items is to not use them. To not even try.

To simply hoard the currencies, let the weak essences sit in stash for use on a fresh character's leveling, disenchant your bad drops, sell drops that might actually upgrade someone else, and disregard all crafting on your endgame character until you either get an extremely lucky drop, or have grinded out enough currency to just buy something instead of make it yourself.

The crafting in this game is every bit as much a purely rng driven low-odds casino as the looting.
To be absolutely frank, truth is, this game doesn't have crafting.
If it's not sufficiently deterministic, it's not crafting, and what we have is well below the bar.

U might want to research a little bit. Crafting in 0.3 is leaps above 0.2 and before. Some may say it's even deterministic.

Semi deterministic crafts start at 5div with a okay base man no casual player can afford that. Crafting should be usable by all players in any level, not when u become rich from NoLifing/RMT like most of the top players.
