Case Study: Reforging 5,000 Catalysts in PoE 2. How Much Can You Earn in 1 Hour?
EN:
Many users of our helper tool ask how effective the automatic 3-for-1 catalyst exchange at the Reforging Bench is in the current Path of Exile 2 economy. We decided to conduct a large-scale experiment by purchasing 5,000 "trash" catalysts to test the actual profit margins in practice.
The main issue with manual reforging at this scale is time. Doing this by hand would take approximately 24 hours of continuous clicking, but with the helper, the entire process was completed in just 1 hour.
Experiment Parameters
- Subject: 5,000 Flesh Catalysts (purchased at a 1:1 ratio for Exalted Orbs).
- Total Investment: 5,000 Exalts.
- Setup: The program was configured to automatically reforge all catalysts except for the five most valuable types.
What Were We Keeping?
We added the following catalysts to the "exception" filter, as they currently have the highest market demand:
- Xoph’s
- Tul’s
- Esh’s
- Reaver
- Sibilant
Final Results (The Loot)
After completing all exchange cycles (including recycling the "bad" outcomes), the final count was:
- Xoph’s Catalyst: 153 units
- Tul’s Catalyst: 172 units
- Esh’s Catalyst: 184 units
- Reaver Catalyst: 117 units
- Sibilant Catalyst: 104 units
Financial Breakdown
After selling all the obtained catalysts on the market, the total revenue was 8,750 Exalted Orbs.
- Net Profit: 3,750 Exalts (approximately 37.5 Divines at the current exchange rate).
- Running Time: 1 hour.
- Gold Costs: Approximately 1.5 - 2 million Gold was required for the initial purchases and subsequent bench operations.
Summary
The experiment confirms that the 3-for-1 reforge method remains highly profitable in PoE 2, provided you have a surplus of Gold and a tool to automate the process. Earning nearly 40 Divines in an hour while the program runs in the background is an excellent result for any stage of the league.

Кейс: Рефордж 5000 каталистов в PoE 2. Сколько можно заработать за 1 час?
Многие пользователи нашего помощника спрашивают, насколько эффективен автоматический рефордж (обмен 3 к 1) на станке в текущих реалиях Path of Exile 2. Мы решили провести масштабный эксперимент, закупив 5000 дешевых каталистов, чтобы проверить математику профита на практике.
Главная проблема ручного рефорджа такого объема — время. Вручную этот процесс занял бы около суток, но с использованием хелпера мы уложились всего в 1 час.
