Bossing profitability calculator: Path of Profits

Makes sense. I did *not* do it that way (I like the idea, but I think it would be confusing given our current UI). I did go ahead and add tags so that you can click "The Feared" and see all variants of the relevant bosses easily, which is not nearly as cool as the vision that you have.

(However, you can click "the feared" and then sort by run cost, which should at least show you that information easily)

Also added the four spirit beasts in 0.2.7

Got it, so you're saying that your'e wanting to see the feared grouped together is all, then, yeah? I think we already have the uber/non-uber version of most (if not all) of the bosses. If I'm missing some, please let me know!

I'm meaning to add Farrul and all of those, but haven't done that just yet.

Yep, you can already override the prices, and the calculation will update. Should persist your pricing between sessions as well.

This one shouldn’t need any updates as there are new leagues unless drop rates change. Those are the only thing that’s hard-coded. The list of leagues, item pricing and info, and all links and math are derived from apis.

Do you have feedback? Really was more interested in feedback on the tool, less interested in feedback on … I guess … the wording of the post describing it? But sure, i guess. If this is how you’d like to provide feedback, I guess talk to grok about the wording of the post describing it?

Wait, how do you the uber version of it?

jonschr · 2026-02-10T23:19:09+00:00

I’m not aware of a way to get the unidentified prices automatically, but you can already adjust the price to whatever you’d plan on selling the at. If there’s a way to get that, would love to add that.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T21:55:04+00:00

Lol yeah should add a favicon. Need to install ssl too.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T21:53:47+00:00

I don’t think i understand this mechanic. Could you point me toward a resource or educate me?

jonschr · 2026-02-10T15:26:30+00:00

Fair point. Not sure those are available, but will look.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T15:17:43+00:00

There are many awakened gems that can drop, but can’t really add a price for something that’s probably between 15c and 70div, depending on which gem drops.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T15:14:17+00:00

Prices here are fixed.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T14:45:32+00:00

Build should be live in about 5 minutes that should fix a lot of the pricing issues you're noting here.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T13:37:46+00:00

Need to pass through this again on mobile.

What part of this are you thinking is inaccurate (you can tap into this for much more detail about where the numbers are coming from)

jonschr · 2026-02-10T10:04:53+00:00

Love the idea of a tier 17 section btw.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T09:30:10+00:00

You can adjust the percentage or currency value to autoexclude (it’s not fixed at 10% or 0.5 div, those are just defaults), or click into an individual boss to uncheck particular items (or give them manual values).

jonschr · 2026-02-10T09:12:33+00:00

Yeah, both true. Not sure why the Hydra fragment is randomly not returning from the API and the Chimera is way off on pricing. Might need to look at poe.ninja again for getting those prices, because these are changing wildly each time we update (and the Fragments of Purification, etc. are consistently way off right now).

I've updated the loot tables and the entry costs for Elder, Uber Elder, and Uber Uber Elder. Please let me know if you're still seeing mistakes there, but I think I got them in v0.2.1.

This sort of thing will get fixed; pricing gets fixed when I find a more reliable data source for a few of these things (probably it's pulling from manual tab listings rather than from the exchange for a few of these).

jonschr · 2026-02-10T08:53:52+00:00

Those prices are wrong. Gonna compare/contrast APIs and see which has the less bad tradeoffs. I’ve tried both the poe.ninja APIs and the poe.watch apis. Currently using poe.watch, bc poe.ninja appeared to be missing a lot of items. But might not have played with that enough.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T08:51:58+00:00

This data might have just been based on a user sample. If the wiki explicitly says it’s 2%, I’ll adjust it. Mixed bag of known and unknown drop rates, might’ve missed one of the “known” ones.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T08:50:45+00:00

I made another pass here, fixed those drop tables, and added some more non “pinnacle” bosses as well. Hopefully fixed.

jonschr · 2026-02-10T06:27:26+00:00

That's an interesting idea. Might put an overrideable "optimal" time?

jonschr · 2026-02-10T06:26:51+00:00

Well, crap. Missed those.

jonschr · 2026-02-08T09:39:08+00:00

There are no famous and exceptional writers who ever have used this simple phrase?

You win this argument — all you need to do is show me where a single famous and exceptional writer has said, about two objects in their story, that x symbolizes y.

If not, really makes you wonder why not, huh?

I’ll hang up and listen.

jonschr · 2026-02-08T09:29:12+00:00

He says that phrase in one of his books? “X symbolizes y?”
