1. Learning the Foundations (Levels 1 to 100)

2. Mastery and High Level (Levels 100 to 200)

3. Tips to make your Handyman profitable

• Anticipate new dungeon releases: be the first to list keys for new bosses on the marketplace.
• The breeding market: focus on high-efficiency items — they sell for more.
• Key bundles: offer packs for achievements to add a service margin.
• Monetize your essences: turn them into keys or breeding items to increase value.
• Recycling: crush surplus to recover nuggets or runes if the coefficient allows it.

Economic context in 2026

Dungeon keys and breeding items sell based on player activity. Rush periods create high key demand, while breeding is a more stable but competitive market. Auction houses favor regular batches and useful recipes. To protect your margins, alternate crafts based on trends and watch resource key prices.

Pro tips

Personally, I always prioritize keys that actually sell and avoid overly niche recipes. I sell in batches of 1 or 10 depending on the previous day's sell speed. I also keep a stock of breeding items to smooth out slow periods. Before each session, I check the cost of key resources, then switch to my associated professions if the Handyman margin gets too thin.

Real experience report (Handyman)

Server week from March 17 to 23, 2026: for me, margins ranged between 260,000 and 390,000 kamas depending on sale timing and competition.

What didn't work for me: crafting keys without controlling volume. It slowed rotation and locked up too many kamas in inventory.

What worked for me: shorter batches, checking the market before each restock, then adjusting prices over 24h instead of cutting immediately.

Decision rules (loss prevention)

• Craft in small batches and adapt to the server's dungeon activity.
• Never commit more than 60% of your budget on a single recipe.
• Have an exit plan (raw sale, crushing, or short-term storage).
• Stop a batch if the expected margin drops below your minimum threshold.
