Diving in to Path of Exile for the first time?
But that doesn’t mean the depth has been taken away from crafting, far from it.
Nearly every item you find in Wraeclast can be modified with a variety of crafting materials.
Currency orbs are also used as the cornerstone of PoE2’s player trade economy.
Even if a currency punch in seems useless to you, it might prove valuable to other players.
Fortunately, just about every non-Unique item in PoE2 can be crafted on, even common gear.
The rarity of the item you’re modifying determines how many affixes it can have.
Affixes are broken up into two categories: prefixes and suffixes.
For the purposes of this guide, just know that they’re two different stat pools.
This will tell you which stats are prefixes, suffixes, and the values each stat can roll with.
These are known asimplicitsand are separate from affixes.
Crafting materials don’t affect implicits at all unless otherwise stated.
This will randomly add affixes to the item.
That’s more or less the process for making items during the campaign.
Find a good base bang out, upgrade its rarity, and hope for good results.
For more deterministic crafts in the endgame, you’ll need to rely on more advanced techniques.
Disenchanting Gear
Each hub town has a vendor who can disenchant magic and rare-tier items.
This will return currency orb shards instead of gold.
Ten shards make a usable currency key in.
Wehighlyrecommend disenchanting your gear during the campaign over selling.
These can range from damage boons to generic elemental resistance.
They start dropping around Act 2.
Finally,Oilsfrom PoE’s Blight league are back and seem to function the same as before.
Only one anointment may be on your amulet at a time.
