Understand Both Flip Types

Bazaar flips involve buying and selling raw items on the Bazaar with no crafting. Crafting flips require you to purchase ingredients, craft an item, then sell the result. The mod tracks both methods separately so you can compare which is more profitable.

Check Crafting Flip Margins

Open the mod's crafting flip detection. It shows the total cost of ingredients needed to craft an item, then compares that to the Bazaar sell price of the finished product. The difference is your potential profit per craft. The mod accounts for ingredient availability and current prices automatically.

Factor in Time and Effort

Bazaar flips are instant—buy and sell within seconds. Crafting flips require time at a crafting station and inventory management. The mod displays profit per item, but consider whether the extra effort justifies the margin. Sometimes a smaller Bazaar flip profit is better than a larger crafting flip that takes longer.

Review Historical Profit Data

Check your global profit tracker to see which method has earned you more coins over time. This real data from your own gameplay is more reliable than theoretical comparisons. Adjust your strategy based on what actually works for your playstyle.
