Crafting in Path of Exile 2 becomes increasingly complex as you reach the endgame, with multiple systems offering unique rewards and crafting materials. This guide will help you navigate these systems to efficiently craft top-of-the-range gear.
Basic Crafting Mechanics
Item Rarity:
Normal (White): No additional modifiers.
Rare (Yellow): Created with a
Regal Orb, can have up to six affixes (three prefixes, three suffixes), with
Exalted Orbs adding more.
Base Item Selection:
Choose base items that match your level for better stat rolls.
Look for good implicit modifiers and high level rolls (visible when holding Alt) on the stats you need.
Endgame crafting systems
Violations
Catalysts: Add a quality to a ring or amulet that increases certain modifiers. Most items can increase physical, life or elemental damage by up to 20%, but Breach Rings can go up to 50%.
Breach Rings: Have a maximum quality of 50%, allowing for significantly enhanced stats.
Expeditions
Rewards: Artefacts and exotic coins for crafting items from expedition NPCs.
Crafting: Refresh NPC inventory with coinage to find desired items, then use artefacts to modify prefixes or suffixes.
Essences
Function: Allow you to choose the first mod when crafting from normal to magic items, reducing the RNG on the first mod.
Types: Basic and Greater, with Greater being extremely rare.
Random orbs
Mechanic: Use on normal items to give them a chance to turn into unique items, though it's highly random and often results in nothing.
Corruption (Vaal Orbs)
Risk vs. reward: Can add an extra socket, boost mods beyond normal limits, or ruin an item.
Trials of Chaos: Provides a safer way to obtain corrupted items with potentially good results without risking your own gear.
Soul Cores
Use: Replace runes in sockets with unique, often more powerful modifiers.
Value: Some Soul Cores are extremely valuable, such as the
Aspa Soul Core.
Rituals
Rewards: Items, including omens that change the way crafting materials interact with items.
Omens: Examples include ensuring that the next Exalted Orb only adds prefixes, or
Chaos Orb only removes suffixes for precise crafting.
Delirium
Rewards: Delirium orbs for crafting passive tree nodes on equipment.
Crafting: Use Emotions to assign specific passive nodes to amulets, or add Delirium modifiers to Waystones for additional drops on non-Delirium maps.
Strategic crafting tips
Crafting Bases: Always start with a base item that has potential due to its implicit, tier rolls, or rarity.
Quality and Catalysts: Focus on maximising the quality of key items, especially Breach Rings, for significant stat boosts.
Expedition and Essence Usage: Use these systems to control the outcome of your crafting and reduce randomness.
Invest in endgame content: Participate in activities such as Trials of Chaos and Delirium for unique crafting opportunities and materials.
Use corruption with care: Use corruption on items you're willing to risk, or use Trials of Chaos for potentially beneficial corrupted items without the risk.
