Gotta say even though a 2 hour video on the subject is a lot, the fact that it isn't 4+ years old, the timestamps, and the down to earth delivery makes it a pretty damn good resource for new players like me who are just getting into PoE. I'm not at the point where I want to stare at text about the game for hours but, I'm getting there! Certainly have before with many more casual games - lol! Cheers man! Thank You!

[@TheHidalgo99]

Bro it's two hours because we're talking poe crafting! I'm glad it's two hours there is so much to know!

[@kevina8631]

Absolutely agree! I get randomly excited at three am to learn more about POE now that I've found current and digestible content.

You spent 20ex on a iLvL 20 weapon for leveling alts? That’s a bit overkill when all you need to level any build is a ~8c Tabula Rasa, which will even carry you early mapping.

It’s beautiful how we can rewatch certain section to understand it over time. Expecting to understand everything in one go is most definitely overwhelming. Me as a new player, now plays PoE with a whole different kind of confidence in crafting after watching this video. I’d say it’s a 10/10 of a well demonstrated and organized educational video. Much thanks 🙏🏻

[@Wayleran]

I've been playing PoE since closed beta in 2013 and already knew all this info but I like your videos and your demeanor so much I decided to just randomly watch this to see how good it would be to recommend to new players who ask for helpful videos. This is probably the best video I've ever seen for a new player to really learn about and more importantly understand basic to advanced crafting or really ANY advanced aspect of PoE. You should feel very proud of the work you put in to this. I'm sure you've helped countless new players enjoy PoE much much more.

[@reikun86]

Excuse me sir, I'm going to need you to mirror that level 9 wand for us to get a full understanding of crafting!

[@gregoryeclifford]

Best ... crafting ... video ... ever. I have watched dozens, maybe hundreds, of crafting videos and most either confuse me, because the KZbinr is talking too fast and not explaining everything, or they teach me things I already knew. I actually learned a few new things from this video. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Came across this trying to research getting into crafting for the first time. Honestly, couldn't be more satisfied. Guide was comprehensive, nuanced, gave clear and concise explanations, and best of all clear demonstrations of how everything interacts. Subbed.

[@Tainted-Phantom]

Couldn't have said it better. First league for me and this makes things so easy to understand considering the complexity this system has. Once I got these things down myself I'll go into the meta :D

[@robbyryandavis2057]

Thanks for taking your time on this. Still feel overwhelmed, because we have a lot of options here and its a year later since this posting, so some minor changes could of came about. This was by far the best rundown I've seen yet though on what is all possible when it comes to crafting items and manipulating items in POE. Its insane how many routes there is to go when you are just getting that point where crafting is required to improve a build.

[@ii_redz7738]

the fact that you spent probably 3+ hours on this video (without the editing) and you just delivered what most couldn't, and you did this a year ago and still is amazingly fulfilling the whole subject we're looking for is an absolutely legendary gift to all new players. Thank you so much my dude !

I know a little bit of crafting, but it came from reading tons of Reddit posts, trial and error and just sheer frustration. This video sums it all, and all players interested in crafting should see this, good job mate! Video is well made and you explaing very well all the mechanics with examples.

[@acksawblack]

Bro the chance orb 😂. Also thank you for this guide it has helped a hell of a lot. I really didn’t understand even the basics so covering stuff from the complete ground up is so so helpful and is the perfect style for teaching. So many tutorials skip stuff like how to use the basic currency, why even cheap currency is useful and how prefix/suffix work. Most things I read or watched did have helpful information but made lots of assumptions about preformed knowledge and skipped past all the real basics, then would just say use that path of crafting site. Site confused confused me to fuck lol, but now your video has helped me get a good foundation of knowledge and I can use it semi properly.

[@Astrix_Jaeger]

I can't believe it. from the sheer complexity of POE's way of gameplay, there is finally an actual crash course for it here on KZbin.

Little update for current state of the game, to avoid surprises: catalyst quality does not influence crafting outcomes anymore, and quality is not removed from them either. (See "item balance" section of the 3.15 update patch notes: "Catalysts no longer affect the chances of rolling related modifiers on jewellery through crafting, and Quality on jewellery is no longer removed when crafting with specific Currency.").

[@CasualDudeGaming]

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS! Crafting was such a confusing thing, and you made it a lot easier. From the most simple craft to the more complicated craft. Also allows me to know what materials I should be buying if I want to craft a specific type of weapon.

Ty for this :) I'm a newer player, and your guide was the first I've looked at that not only starts with the fundamentals, but also gives nice examples and explains the STRATEGY behind using the tools. This was missing in a lot of other videos I watched before I watched yours - many would just explain what the tool is, but never took the step the explain WHY you may use something. As a newer player, the context and examples you provided were perfect! I'm still learning, making my way through yellow maps for the first time, and building knowledge on what is "valuable", but I'm book marking your guide for the future when Im ready to dive in and start crafting the big stuff!

Crafting is much more accessible in Scourge now that currency drops are so gameable and they drop in stacks. A good rare Scourge map with added missions and fragments is basically an orb pinata.

[@dockingtroll6801]

Thank You... for me, that was the best intro to basic and advanced crafting that I have been able to find. I have watched other videos, and given up after like 30 seconds, mostly because they are talking like it was a speed test and moving around on the screen faster than the speed of light, I have actually watched videos at 50% replay speed... how silly is that.!. But you... speak in a very pleasant voice and tempo and taking your time to explain and show stuff onscreen in a tempo that makes it very accesible....Cheers mate...

I watched the whole thing. Amazing!!! I've never made it past a few exalts and had no idea how maven or conquerer exalts do or how combining mods works. I have a ring and a boot that I'm really looking forward to improving now! I realized that my "zomg amazing" ring that I use has literally only 1 mod that makes it good and I can split it and try to craft up a new ring with that mod instead!!!!

[@nathanfay1988]

Watchstones are a GREAT way to craft a ton using low-risk currency. Your best bet are usually Platinum Watchstone but Chromium and Titanium have their perks. Alts + Augs are very inexpensive, and good rolls can be a couple hundred chaos, like Tier 1 Chayula on Platinum Lira Arthain or Platinum Lex Proxima. A few great rolls like Harbinger currency tier and 4 ritual altars are 7+ ex (about 850 chaos) in the right area

[@nathanfay1988]

Best of all the bonuses are unending improvements to your maps unless you reroll or swap the watchstone (hence why the get expensive)

Just a quick question , Does the weighting number for a specific modifier mean its for Eg : 1 in 1800 Chance of getting it? *weighting*

[@subtractem]

No, it's...how many balls are in the basket for that mod. Does that make sense? Put one ball in a basket for that mod per weight so the higher the number the more likely it gets picked.

A more detailed way to think of it similar to how it was originally explained is think of a 10 sided dice. (weight total 10 or the 83000 number or whatever it was in the video during item bases) now think +1 fire damage has a weight of 6 +2 fire damage has a weight of 3 +3 fire damage has a weight of 1 the weight between all of them is 10, so we will be rolling a 10 sided dice, picking a random number 1 through 10, or anything like that. since +1 fire damage has "6' weight. 1 through 6 on our dice will be +1 fire damage since +2 fire damage has "3" weight +2 will be 7 through 9 and lastly if you're lucky, if you roll the arbitrary 10, on the 10 sided dice, you got lucky and got the +3 fire damage so a 1 in 1800 chance of getting something would more look like this: +1 fire damage has a weight of 1000 +2 fire damage has a weight of 799 +3 fire damage has a weight of 1 altogether they come up for a total of 1800 weight. But that one mod in specific that you want, is only a weight of 1. Incase you weren't quite understanding the balls in a basket, I hope this detailed description on how it works, is a little more understandable.

Thank you so much for this. I tried wrapping my head around that stuff but always found more questions for each answer. This is so indebt without being dry and overcomplicating it so even I can understand it. Very well done!

Thank you for making this, such a needed thing. I've dabbled in bench crafting and alliteration spamming to make a simmering life flask, and have essences on my atlas board from recommendations, but haven't been able to take it much further. And just blowing stacks of currency to show people examples, what a chad. I love the PoE crafting system for it's depth, but it is soooo daunting.

Hands down best in depth crafting video. Good job.
