One fusion, worked through

- Input cost
- 5 × 30 + 2 × 1,000 = 2,150
- Sale after 1.25% tax
- 2 × 18,000 × 0.9875 = 35,550
- Estimated difference
- 35,550 − 2,150 = 33,400 coins
Assumed prices for one complete fusion. This is not a current opportunity, hourly return or guarantee that orders will fill.
How do I find shard flips with 1m, 5m or 10m coins?
Open Top flips and choose a coin budget. The filter includes profitable one-step recipes whose complete ingredient cost fits the selected budget at the quoted prices. Use Custom for a different amount.
Maximum batches = budget ÷ cost of one complete fusion, rounded down. For example, a 1,000,000-coin budget and a 240,000-coin input cost allow at most four batches at those prices. Keep coins aside for price changes; this is a capital limit, not a promise of fills or profit per hour.
What if I already own the shards?
You could sell them instead. That forgone sale is their opportunity cost. The owned-shard tool compares the alternatives; treating farmed inputs as free shows cash flow, not their full economic cost.
Each input slot uses its shard's fuse amount. If the same shard fills both slots, count both quantities.
Instant trades or orders?
- Instant buy → instant sell: use the available input ask prices and output bid prices. Larger quantities may move through the order book.
- Buy orders → sell orders: quotes may look better, but you wait and compete with other players.
- Mixed modes: you wait on one side and trade instantly on the other.
Use the same mode and tax when comparing results. Missing or zero-price markets cannot be quoted.
What should I check before trading?
- Make sure the price snapshot is current.
- Check ingredient supply and demand for the result.
- Start small and compare actual fills with the estimate.
- Allow for waiting, open orders and extra fusion steps.
Moving-week volume gives context; it does not promise a completion time. A large spread may be illiquid. Keep shards you want to revisit in the browser watchlist.
Is last 7 days volume a price average?
No. Moving-week volume describes how many units traded, not what they cost. A price chart needs timestamped price observations. Compare the same buy or sell side over time; do not mix an instant-buy quote with a historical sell quote.
A chart starting two days ago contains two days of collected observations, even when its selected window is seven days. Missing days are not zero-price days. Check the displayed coverage and latest snapshot before acting.
