Gear comes and goes—but wealth lasts all league long.
Best Builds for POE2 Currency Dominating the Trading League in Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt
In Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt, the trade league has reset the game’s economy, creating a wide-open market where smart players can get ahead fast. But let’s be honest—grinding for currency with a slow or clunky build isn’t just inefficient, it’s painful. If you want to thrive in the new economy, you need a build that can clear fast, kill hard, and scale easily without requiring mirror-tier gear.
Whether you're a trader flipping high-value items or a pure grinder farming Waystone maps and boss drops, here are the top builds that combine raw power with currency efficiency in the early and mid-stages of the new trading league.
1. Lightning Arrow Deadeye – The Map-Melting Machine
Strengths:
Screen-wide clear
Incredible speed
Synergy with Magic Find
Cheap to start, scales with currency
Lightning Arrow Deadeye is a long-time favorite for good reason. It clears entire packs with a single shot, and thanks to the synergy with pierce, chain, and fork, it's built for blitzing through maps faster than most builds can keep up.
In the current trade league, speed is king. This build allows you to farm Waystone maps at lightning pace, stack item quantity and rarity, and cash in on bulk loot for Exalts and Divine Orbs. Pair it with gear that boosts Magic Find, and your screen will be raining currencies and uniques every few seconds.
Pro Tip: Pair with Sextants and Scarabs to inflate map value. Sell any tier 15 maps with strong pack size or rarity modifiers—you’ll profit more than you would running them.
2. Righteous Fire Juggernaut – The Tanky Delver
Strengths:
Easy to gear
Nearly unkillable
Great for Delve and Expedition
Smooth playstyle
Righteous Fire Juggernaut thrives in dangerous content like Delve and Expedition where staying alive is half the battle. This build’s high regen, armor, and endurance charge scaling make it a dream in content where standing your ground equals profit.
In the new league, farming fossils and logbooks is one of the most stable ways to print currency, and RF Juggernaut can farm these zones efficiently and safely. The build’s reliance on flat fire damage scaling also makes it cheap to get rolling, with most of its early items costing just a few Chaos.
Pro Tip: Use your Expedition loot to buy currency from vendors like Dannig or gamble rares with Gwennen. Then flip anything valuable on Path of Exile 2 Orbs the trade site.
