First day of crafting (short story inside)

Hi exiles!

This is my first season playing PoE2 and I had never played PoE before.
I'm having so much fun learning the game and sharing my little gains with the community.

After amassing some bank through the website trading market, today I decided it was time to learn how to craft with one of my favourite items: The Vertex tribal mask.

Having watched some YT videos as my only experience in crafting, I bought some 30% crit bases, activated Omen of Corruption and started slamming Vaal Orbs left and right.

Once I was done, I double corrupted the ones that didn't lose the 30% crit trying to hit the desired +4 to skills... And yes, I didn't know about Vaal Cultivation Orbs, so I sold a couple 30 Spirit 30% Crit Vertex at 9-15d because I had not hit the +4 skills.

They obviously sold instantly with many people joining my hideout in a matter of seconds.
That made me suspect I was doing something wrong. I checked the price of the exact item I had just sold for 9 div (ty PoE Overlay for misleading me) and realised it was worth 330 div. No big deal.
Thanks to that I noticed none of my masks had any red attribute on them, so after a quick search I discovered the Vaal Cultivation Orbs.

Now that I knew all the steps, I decided to go for the best Vertex I could think of: 2 socket +4skill 30%crit.
So I straight out bought 5 single corrupted 2 socket Vertex and hit them with the Architect balls. Only 2 survived, and one of them hit 28spirit. And you can fill the rest of this little story of mine.

Now here I am, looking at my 2-spirit-off-perfection Vertex having learnt a lesson about crafting and getting instantly paid back by karma with my luckiest craft ever.

If you made it until here, I just want to thank you for your time. And I am willing to pay back some of my karma luck by sharing part of my bank with you all.

Just DM me saying "Vertex Karma" and I'll hook you up :)
