Buy certain prophecies resell or use them and resell whatever comes out of them. Do this for 2 hours, make 500 chaos. Repeat every day til you get bored or have made build that can fight high level metamorphs. It's the weekend, you now use said build to spawn the 4 Sirus Guardians. One of them drops their special exalted orb or an awakened gem. Yay. Fight Sirus, boo no drops. That's fine tho. Go back to Prophecies for 2 hours. Make another 500 chaos. Spawn and kill Sirus again. Nothing drops from him or his guardians. That's fine cause you got an exalt drop from the map metamorph and lvl 3 enlighten from the Thane lab metamorph. Call it a day. Repeat tomorrow. Monday you only do 2 hours of Prophecies cause its workday and you can't no life anymore. You don't feel bad though cause you know enough about the game to further your progression needs easily even if you don't nolife every single day. The idea is to know what to do. And nobody and I mean nobody will tell you this cause if everybody is doing the same thing the market gets screwed and we're all gonna have to rely on 1 exalt that drops at lvl 90 like peasants. And nobody wants that, everybody wants to consider 35 exalts as not that much, but nobody wants to think about how to get them. Cause in 90% of cases getting the initial capital for some bonkers build that let's you really farm stuff, will rely on trading. Buy low, process, sell high OR buy low and sell high. There is nothing more to it.
