You're the first one that I've seen mention Glyph of Insight + Rune of Research combo for sealing affixes away, and oh boy have I been waiting for it. It's definitely possible I have missed it since I obviously can't consume all content, but it's now the first time I came across it. Great video!
Once I figured out I could do that I realized there's a TON of power I was leaving on the table, that's what inspired the whole video! Initially I kinda wrote rune of research off because "I don't really need that experimental affix right now" but then I realized they're basically a ticket to a cheaper, more reliable glyph of despair, and now they're one of my favorites. I'd say don't tell the devs but it appears that I'm a bit late on that front.
Thank you for this video.really needed it , would gladly hope you make a 'gear progression guide' for newbies. i.e from fresh lvl 50s, on their way to clearing up the normal monoliths and empowered ones. most videos present shows the process of crafting OP stuff, but doesnt do well explaining the process of progression like you do on the basics
Wow I have to re-watch this and pause so many times because of the amount of great info here. Shall I wait to be max level before I tune up my Gear. Currently level 70
Great explanations. I was confused with the crafting system in this game but you provided an excellent primer to start playing with crafting in more depth.
One thing you might consider is even though hier tiers cost more potential, you get more value from upgrading from t4 to t5 than to t3 to t4 for example
i love the crafting in this game. and hopefully with CoF you get more attempts to make those perfect gears, because it does feel bad to brick an item with a one-off mod, or run out of FP.
The higher tier the affix, the more maximum forging potential it can use, therefore theoretically speaking, you can use less forging potential by upgrading affixes evenly as opposed to putting each one to max straight away.
thank you for this guide, im new to the game and i was wondering why exalted items aren't really any better than rares, didn't know what to do with them...
that bow is nasty. i'll need to make some pretty great pieces of gear with my falcon build im gonna go. i've finally decided to go falcon/boom boom ballista/explosive trap. focusing on throwing dmg/atk spd, since boom boom ballistas scales mostly with crit and dex scaling, and throwing dmg/spd will HIGHLY scale both explosive trap (both cold conversion) and falcon skills. can't wait to see how it turns out
Okay so lets say I seal away an affix, craft the remaining 4 to whatever it is I desire. Is the sealed affix still on the item and also working? Or how does it work? Also really nice video :D
If you have say a unique with 4 LP and an exalted with a t6 or t7 of exactly what you want, can you run of removal gamble to get rid of the other three affix and then use another exalted to apply different rolls for the remain lp? Pretty curious if I can gamble on all of my exalted items until I have four exalted items to smash into a 4 lp unique
actually didnt know that sealing means sending stat to it's own sealed space on the item, i thought its sealing one of the upgrade options, so u have only 3 instead of 4 and one sealed, i saved some of the gylps because i didnt want to ruin my items with them, now i know i was so wrong lol
7 Minutes into the video you mention the experimental affixes and to use the rune of research to get a glyph of insight, but for example if I want the low hp stat from an experimental item that is not exalted into an item that is exalted or legendary, how would I do that?
Two Questions: One, can a Critical Success upgrade a T6 affix to T7? Two, can you use a Rune of Removal to try to remove all the bad affixes off of an Exalted Item so that you guarantee what you want to slam into a Legendary Potential Item?
T5 is highest craftable, so no. Removal on bad affixes is a gamble, since it can eat up your exalted affix, or leave you with too little forging potential to finish the item. You can't guarantee what the legendary will take, unless it has 4 LP
i used a loot filter but im just getting so much blue and yellow items i cant keep up shattering them should i stop picking up stuff under exalted or will i regret it while crafting
If you're doing circle of fortune, you're gonna want to hide most exalted items as well. There are way too many of them, only show the ones that are good for your build, or those that have 2 or more exalted affixes
Exalted items have higher forging potential, so in addition to have the extra stat tiers, they're also easier to make into perfect items. At a certain point you'll really only equip exalted, and should only show magic and rares that have rarer affixes that you need shards for. If you downloaded a loot filter, it's going to be generalized, so as you gear up you should expect to tweak it to fit your needs.
There's no limit to the number of exalted affixes rolled on an item. The theoretical highest tiers would be 4 T7 affixes, one of them experimental which you can seal, and then craft a T5 back on for a total of 33 Tiers. That's theoretical, though, and a 4x T7 item is absurdly rare. Sealed affixes can go up to T4, but the chance to seal is lower the higher the tier of the affix.
It's ok you'll brick a few at first but once you get the hang of crafting... you'll still brick stuff because that's just how it works! Plenty more loot on the floor.
Are you frequently using your Runes of Research on experimental bases? If not, pick up all the experimental bases from mages you kill and research a few to generate insights.

As a D4 refugee, I greatly appreciate these vids - quality videos! I can tell you put a lot of effort into your stuff man, awesome to see!
Ooh did not know about the experimental conversion thingy. Will use that for sure!
Best crafting video I've watched, thank you!

Watching this video in bed & you got me thinking about getting up to try some of this out 😂
Wow I have to re-watch this and pause so many times because of the amount of great info here. Shall I wait to be max level before I tune up my Gear. Currently level 70
Really informative and helpful! Thanks :)
You're welcome!
This was really helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Finally someone that explains with a great understanding. Thanks
Thank you! I'm only starting my road to crafting, it's still a bit confusing, but your video cleared a lot to me!
What a great video, I had no idea about this stuff as a new player. Thanks!
Great Guide!

You kind of skimmed over why you want the tier of the affixes to be as even as possible (or I missed it), could you explain more?
The higher tier the affix, the more maximum forging potential it can use, therefore theoretically speaking, you can use less forging potential by upgrading affixes evenly as opposed to putting each one to max straight away.
@@kayzin thank you, makes sense
Higher tiers can potentially use more forging potential
In addition to what other people have mentioned, you also maximize your chances for crit crafts to give you free tiers.
But the scaling is much better in the higher tiers so many lower tier affixes aren't as impactful as a few higher tiers
Great example Tenk
thanks for the video!
Great video!. Was wondering what the best item is you crafted so far ? @Tenkiei
Thanks! Time to scour your channel for a video on Legendary Smashing
thank you for this guide, im new to the game and i was wondering why exalted items aren't really any better than rares, didn't know what to do with them...
Exalted items are better than rares, but the mods are random so you need well rolled exalteds.
that bow is nasty. i'll need to make some pretty great pieces of gear with my falcon build im gonna go.

Yes, sealed affixes continue to work. As a sealed affix, it can't be further modified in any way, and can't be transferred to a Unique with LP.
not sure with the equal leveling, as the values from the tiers go up non-linear.
awesome guide
So we should only forge items that are exalted (purple) not any other color? I’m confused on the amount of forging potential.
Glyph of Insight + Research Rune is genius
can I craft one handed sword with a one handed axe? or do they have to be axe with axe or sword with sword?
If you have say a unique with 4 LP and an exalted with a t6 or t7 of exactly what you want, can you run of removal gamble to get rid of the other three affix and then use another exalted to apply different rolls for the remain lp? Pretty curious if I can gamble on all of my exalted items until I have four exalted items to smash into a 4 lp unique
I keep hearing the term "Slamming" when crafting and i'm still not sure what that is.
actually didnt know that sealing means sending stat to it's own sealed space on the item, i thought its sealing one of the upgrade options, so u have only 3 instead of 4 and one sealed, i saved some of the gylps because i didnt want to ruin my items with them, now i know i was so wrong lol
And most ppl thinks sealing = no stats given but they actually still givea u that stats
7 Minutes into the video you mention the experimental affixes and to use the rune of research to get a glyph of insight, but for example if I want the low hp stat from an experimental item that is not exalted into an item that is exalted or legendary, how would I do that?
Hopefully to get a 3LP Bastion of Honor…. I already have a Bastion of Honor with 1LP in beta hehe
Two Questions: One, can a Critical Success upgrade a T6 affix to T7? Two, can you use a Rune of Removal to try to remove all the bad affixes off of an Exalted Item so that you guarantee what you want to slam into a Legendary Potential Item?
T5 is highest craftable, so no. Removal on bad affixes is a gamble, since it can eat up your exalted affix, or leave you with too little forging potential to finish the item. You can't guarantee what the legendary will take, unless it has 4 LP
You need full 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes on an item for LP uniques.
how can i add experimental affix on my exalted gear? or its always random with glyph of insight?
Being able to Play would be step 1
Whats that build, looks very nice
@5:50 you are a falconer. you dont stab anything
What is this build? I love the cold expositions :O
czcams.com/video/xm2xvJhdM9I/video.html sadly had to drop the cold explosions they were lagging me :(
The forging loss always ruins me
how to make drelkors compass to a legendary i cant make it
If you slam a 2LP item, will you get an affix and suffix or pure rng can be 2 affix 2 suffix or 1 of each?
It can be any combination of 2 affixes (except for sealed affixes).
i used a loot filter but im just getting so much blue and yellow items i cant keep up shattering them should i stop picking up stuff under exalted or will i regret it while crafting

What level should I worry about the forge? I'm only 30 and still finishing the story.
If you're missing res, right now.
What is the build ur running in the beginning?
czcams.com/video/xm2xvJhdM9I/video.html
the exalted item max is 4 affixes T7, T5, T5, T5 and max sealed affix is T1? Can sealed affix go up to T4??
There's no limit to the number of exalted affixes rolled on an item. The theoretical highest tiers would be 4 T7 affixes, one of them experimental which you can seal, and then craft a T5 back on for a total of 33 Tiers. That's theoretical, though, and a 4x T7 item is absurdly rare.
Sealed affixes can go up to T4, but the chance to seal is lower the higher the tier of the affix.
Lol saying glyphs of despair are rare is crazy, theyre more common than ascendant runes.
Whats the build that he is using on that falconeer ?
czcams.com/video/xm2xvJhdM9I/video.html
Can't wait to see my literally making items useless because I fuck up the system
It's ok you'll brick a few at first but once you get the hang of crafting... you'll still brick stuff because that's just how it works! Plenty more loot on the floor.
My best item is a 0 forging potential T0/T0/T0/T0.
I brick all my items.
can i no longer seal once it become t5?
You can still seal experimental but not regular.
I bought this game after playing my first league in PoE thinking the crafting would be less complex, now I feel like I was more comfortable in PoE.
I can't figure out the maths behind ballista!!!!! Iso help😅
Here's the math:

cool tech but i'm level 98 and have 1 glyph of insight...

@@Tenkiei oh that's how you get them? I see...
