This is a crafting guide that starts from the very beginning and builds up to more advanced topics. I start as basic as how to use a transmutation orb and what an item even is and go up to metacrafting and some techniques that you can do there. This video isn't intended to be sat through in a single session and just listened to passively. I wanted to make something that someone could reference and go back to for certain questions and try to absorb more information as well as use it as an introduction to the topic for their new player friends.

thanx a ton for these AMAZING courses
"how approachable it is, and how scary it is not" he says in the intro to a 2 freaking hour long video on the subject... dear god
idk but he wasnt wrong ? he just wanted to make sure everyone understand it
@@CelphTitled7 I know, it's informative and doesn't miss anything, but 2 hours of info can easily appear overwhelming to the average player
@@krayte5120 it does appear but it takes time to explain most stuff in a pace people understand it more easily, i mean a 20minute video would be overwhelming with the informations but i get your point
2 hours isn't much when you consider how much time people spend playing the game
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 🙏🏻
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!
Bro it's two hours because we're talking poe crafting! I'm glad it's two hours there is so much to know!
Absolutely agree! I get randomly excited at three am to learn more about POE now that I've found current and digestible content.
I'm a couple minutes in and I can tell his delivery is great. Except for the banging on the table sending the base through the roof at times.
Thanks man, I just smashed 20 ex, now I have the perfect item level 20 sword for leveling my builds. Thank you so much again
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.
@@5133937 im pretty sure he's memeing
@@5133937 early mapping, around what tiers. I have a tabula rasa but I haven't used it yet. And struggling around tier 8 rare. If you can give me a little tip, much appreciated.
@@IntegraGSR5 Yo you still need a tip? Tier:8 is around when Tabula falls off and you need a good basic armour with at least 50+ life and resistances. Also remember to ALWAYS cap your resistances
@@trixon2118 These days you can avoid life on your chest and take the 15% max life mastery instead
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.
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
I subbed just for the sheer dedication of slamming an ex to help filthy exiles. I will take the plunge into crafting. Great vid. Well done.
I sacrifice for the people! Thank you!
@@subtractem amen comrade papa stalin would be proud
@@whattoputhere8063 Everything for everyone!!!
Sheer dedication? He used currency from standard, which he says he isn't playing anyway. Also he had like 2000ex in there. It's a good video overall, but man your perspective is weird
@@mreeeeeegf you must be fun at parties
Excuse me sir, I'm going to need you to mirror that level 9 wand for us to get a full understanding of crafting!
Best ... crafting ... video ... ever. I have watched dozens, maybe hundreds, of crafting videos and most either confuse me, because the CZcamsr 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!
How dare you to record such a gem for everyone!? You're a piece of wonderful human being !!!!
Thank you!
Wow what a masterpiece of a guide. Wasn't hard to watch the 2 hours. The step by step and easy to follow explanations of this intricate system was well done
Amazing video, watched it 3 times already across the past weeks. As a new player, crafting blows my mind and you've made it so much easier. Thank you
Love the short and clear descriptions behind each crafting system and the mini-showcases about how to apply each of them! Very helpful for a new player who is trying to grasp the mechanics of the game :)
you have the magic of breaking complicated stuff into small segments making it very understood, loved this vid!
Not even done watching and this has already helped me more than dozens of other videos and guides. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you very much for going in so much detail about crafting. Haven't seen another video like this. It is very helpful for me and probably others who are still learning.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
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!
Huuuuuge video. Can't wait to dive in! This was my first league and I've found your videos incredibly helpful. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you so much!
I just started POE 3 days ago. Your video was EXTREMELY helpful and descriptive. Thank you taking the time to explain everything in a simple and super detailed way! Definitely liking and following 😁
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.
Thank you so much for laying everything out the way you did. I cannot stress enough how intimidated I was looking at all the crafting options on my own. Huge help here.
This video is really fantastic. Awesome, awesome job. Especially love how it is broken down into smaller chunks. Have bookmarked and will be referencing this! Thanks!
Beauty stuff my man. Appreciate it a ton and super well thought out to help the new player. Answered a lot of questions I couldn’t get while starting. Ty
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I see a lot of other youtubers who just can’t teach and are all over the place. Which is fine if you’ve got a solid base of the game but.. this was just so cleanly laid out! Thank you!
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.
I've now watched over half of the guide so far and I'm really thankful that you've put in time to share all this knowledge with us. Side note: your tone of voice and cadence of your sentences puts me at ease. Makes all this complexity a lot more easy to digest. Peace.
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.
Thank you for your effort and time, good sir! I highly appreciate this.
For what it’s worth; personally, I don’t mind how lengthy the video is! I really like detailed explanations and I want as much information as the person is willing to give us! The more the merrier haha!
I love that fact that you included everything there is to know. Thats what I was looking for. 2 hours of valuable information. Quality to the last minute.
Wow, this video is truly a game-changer for me! The way you've broken down and explained the crafting system in Path of Exile has given me a much deeper understanding of the mechanics at play. Your clear and concise presentation style, coupled with the helpful visuals, made it so much easier to grasp how all the elements work together. I feel like my crafting game is going to level up exponentially after watching this :P Thanks a lot!
Immediately subscribed.
This is one of the only POE tutorials I’ve found that was easily understood.
Amazing high quality video about crafting in PoE, great job and thank you for all the time and currency you spent for viewers to explain almost all there is to know about it so far !
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! As a new player, I can’t explain how helpful this was for me. You have a great presence and kept me captivated and learning the entire video. Two thumbs up!
This was the best video I’ve watched on this topic. Very clear for a beginner. I loved that you showed with actually using the items. Thank you.
Well done sir! Definitely something I can look to when I'm confused about certain aspects of crafting.
Thanks Dobalina!
This video should be featured in-game. Great stuff
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!
Well done dude, this is the very definition of well done and comprehensive. Glad i subscribed when I first saw this video, Gold
I had already started with crafting but man, this video helps a lot to get into crafting, that meta example and all those different mechanics explained in one place are awesome.
Will definetly recomend the video since it has helped me a lot.
thank you! feel free to pop into the stream or discord any time if you need more help.
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.").
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!!!!
Amazing video! I've been a long time player, but never really dived into serious crafting. This video helped me to clear all my remaining questions, thanks for making it!
Really enjoyed your crafting lecture, just first 20-30min explained all the basics. Well stocked with information and well explained. Thanks!
Again a great vid. Had to watch it in 2 Session though, 2 hours is alot ^^ I would love to see an example during the next league where you start with a base and talk through the crafting process and show us your thoughtprocess. How deep you want to invest for what slot and what purpose does the slot need to fulfill and so on. Even better if its not the super-duper endgame crafting but somewhere during yellow or early red maps. Im never quite sure what stats to aim for when im in the mid-atlas. Thanks again for the great content!
Your late night uploads really helping this insomnia problem, keep em comin man
Thank you! Let me know what you think. Hope you get some sleep.
Lol his videos are putting you to sleep?
@@mohasinac Haha!
Subscribed just for the massive amount of effort you put into this video. Well done, good luck
I really wanted to say this stuff is amazing, I've been playing since metamorph and I know some things but nothing to this level, I can't tell you how helpful this is and makes me want to continue on with trying to make my own builds. I can't wait to craft things!
You are my favourite PoE youtuber by far, this is my first league playing in-depth PoE and I could make so much fun and learn lots of things and tricks of the game by just watching ur videos. Thank you so much I hope u keep going and getting more and more subs because you deserve it.
Thank you so much!
Best crafting video ever. Only wish you would have crafted some items from a base as an example at the end like “here’s a good ES item for mapping” or other simple stuff like that. Thank you for the video!
Wow you did a excellent job explaining in depth and using examples in your crafting. Ty for taking the time to do this
I really like the indept and detail explanation along with how you break down into simple form, your voice is also really easy to hear and understand. Thank you for this video.
This is really great and informative so far. Played PoE forever but I've always been too intimidated by the crafting systems. Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
This is amazing. Just started PoE with Ultimatum and got kinda stuck on yellow maps in HCSSF and didnt really know how to upgrade my gear and some of my bases with all the crafting possibilites.
I'll bookmark this and hopefully will be able to surpass myself in the next league. Thanks!
Awesome! I look forward to hearing about your progress.
Wow there is so much more to crafting than I had originally thought. This will be a video I'll be returning to many times. Thanks!
Brilliant explanation of everything…the way your break things down and give examples 10/10
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 !
This is work of Days lol
As a new player i can confirm this.
Love the presentation and all the info. I knew most of it but things like using Bestiary for getting anti freeze flasks is GENIUS. Better than a millions alteration orbs and praying for those 1 or 2 flask mods. ALSO, loved the way you kinda cringed everytime you knew you were about to do something expensive. I could feel your pain lol.
I’m just new to this game and this is by far the most helpful and clear explanation I needed. For anyone here. Yes it’s worth every second of the 2 hours. Huge props.
Can't believe I missed this one. Gonna watch the whole thing while blasting maps. Thanks as always for the great content mang!
i am just 10 minutes in, and i already understood so much more because you are showing what the things do. i am very new to PoE and its so overwhelming. :( Thanks for the video, i am sure there will be much more things i can learn from this.
You still playing bud? Hope so. Game is great
thank you, never got into crafting because of how complicated it is. this was the gateway for me to get into it. thanks!
Clearest crafting tutorial by far! I wish this existed a year ago when I decided to learn how to craft, It would of saved me a lot of time!
nice video man and the format setup for it with the loot explanation. subbed :D
Plan on watching this later but thank you for making it. I can only guess the massive effort it takes to produce all these videos covering so much ground.
Thank you! Let me know what you think.
Thanks so much for the video. I like how you get right into it, showing exactly how the crafting works. I love Zizaran's content but his crafting guide from his PoE university felt too drawn out and it confused me. This is exactly what I was looking for, I'm a visual learner so I needed to see it for myself right from the beginning.
Ziz isn't really here for the people. He's here for youtube
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.
Incredibly valuable video for someone getting (back) into Path of Exile. Thanks for making this!
Well, thanks for burning all the mo just to teach us, it clarified some loosed ends for me, don't think I'll ever reach the meta/veiled lvl of crating but at least, now I know how it all fits :)
I hope you get there some day! Cheers!
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.
I’ve watched a bunch of crafting guides and all of them have left me rather confused. Yours was by far the best at explaining the mechanics behind the currencies and how to craft effectively. Thank you!
Bro, your explanation of rolling a resistance suffix onto armour for a new player is a game changer, thank you
My first reaction "My guy are you young or old??" After 2 hours of almost entirely new info and amazing learning on my end "You've earned the Grey from being a sage. I sew now. Your knowledge is why you look like a hipster wizard."
All in good fun man, and for real, this was INSANE I literally got dinner and watched this and gained such an insight into the game itself. I genuinely wanna try crafting now
Thank you so much! That's my primary goal, to get everyone excited to engage with the game systems and have fun. Feel free to pop by the stream any time if you have any questions. Cheers!
this is so perfectly and timely for me, you have no idea how much you help us players!
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great time crafting!
Glad i found your channel. Appreciate the depth you go and the way you break it down very chill and cool type of guy
Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking your time making this video. It is very informative and I watched the whole video feeling excited to craft more!
Awesome! Thank you so much. I'd love to hear how it goes and I wish you lots of luck on your crafting journey!

such a useful resource and thank you for the step by step w/ images as examples (super super considerate for those that need a still image and not a super fast audio/video in some cases) only half way through the vid for now but just learned that catalysts can help influence a type of mod while slamming!
Thanks for sacrificing your hard-earned currency for the sake of knowledge
@@ryan17stehle Haha thanks! I sacrifice for the people!
i love youuuuuuuu!!! thank you soooo much
Like many others, I've watched tons of videos relating to crafting only to leave confused and completely uninterested and put off. I'm not boasting or bragging here, but I'm no slouch in the intelligence category ( I work in Ion Beam Technology) but most other videos are convoluted and full of ego/fluff.
Your video has now opened my eyes and I can't thank you enough. Job well done sir🎉
Thanks, very easy to understand.
Thank you!
Even if you only watch the first 5 min of item bases, incredibly informative. Great vid, very in depth
this was so disgestable and has helped me so much ! Thanks for making it so beginner friendly. Being overwhelmed with all the systems the game throw at you at end game as a new player is an understatement and i finally have a good grip on at least half of it thanks to you
no bullshit, your video was playing in the background while i'm playing...you started talking about people who farm well would maybe see an ex to 2 ex drop a day, lol had one drop the second you started talking about it lol. my game was listening
This is so good. Even after 3k h because i rarely craft anything but jewels XD
To be fair crafting is just a currency sink hole. You think you have a lot of currency and money until u start crafting ONE item. And boom, u are poor.
@@jackzera7356 yeah. You need to absolutely know what you are doing. And then you need luck. I got scammed with a 5l shavrones wrappings but linked in under 100 fusings XD. Still lots of money down the drain.
In bestiary league i linked a starforge with 600 fusings. 7 ex profit. But i kept it and since it was my third season i just got like 10 ex in total...
But i also spent 6k fusings on this damn astral plate i wanted ;(
But to switch or corrupt some jewels is always fine. Most harvest-crafts are useless. But jewels...
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
Best of all the bonuses are unending improvements to your maps unless you reroll or swap the watchstone (hence why the get expensive)
@@nathanfay1988 uh! Thx! Will do next league ^^
Awesome video! Not only do you explain the game mechanics, but the various tips are really helpful as well. :)
Thank you!
Earned my sub, thank you for this great guide! Haven't found this much useful and understandable information in one place before. Great work
Sir. Thank you so much for this. Love you
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the effort. I have been playing for the last 3 years and this is the first amazing and explanatory video that gives me a full insight about crafting.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for making this guide! most of the other content i managed to find already assumed i knew about the basics, leaving me with more questions than answers. Even when it comes to "simply following a build guide" you need to know these things. Your guide has helped me a ton! other so called "guides" always assume you know what they mean without any real explanation. Thanks to your video im finally beginning to grasp the fundamentals! So i say again, thank you very much :)
This man spent 30 ex to help us. Well earned sub!
Haha thank you! All in the name of education and the people!
Important note for newer players: Divine Orbs and Exalted Orbs recently swapped value due to the crafting changes.
what was the change?

Incredible Video, thank you so much! I've learned a ton through it. Amazingly put together and well explained!
Thank you man
Is my second league only and i have killed all boss on 98 lvl glad
But i dont understand anything on crafting
This is huge help and you got a sub from me
God bless you brother 🙏🏻
Same story here. I started in ritual league and I fell in love with this game. My main goal is to learn crafting. 😁👍
Awesome! I hope you guys have great success with crafting in the future. :)
You know he's dedicated when his stash is color coded
Great guide. Thanks for taking the time to make this. There are very few in-depth guides that show beginners how to craft when they have no experience doing this. Liked and subscribed.
This video is a fucking gem.
I cannot understate how crazy and helpful it was to follow your steps in your own inventory - thank you so much for recording this!
holy shit I had no idea about the annul/crafting options with catalysts. It's crazy how much shit is in this game and I've been playing SINCE RELEASE
New stuff added every league! It's intense but also keeps the game refreshing. Cheers!
Just a quick question , Does the weighting number for a specific modifier mean its for Eg : 1 in 1800 Chance of getting it? *weighting*
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.
Crafting is a huge subject and I had to take this one in pieces to try and absorb everything but I've learned so much ty!
Thanks a bunch for that vidéo!!! I just started the game and didn't know anything about crafting, it helps me a lot seeing a little bit better what is possible and where to start!!!
Vaal Orbs: "Its like a 'fun' think you can do"... My friend, I think you and I have different definitions of fun.
Haha, well it's a gamble but you can make some crazy items doing it!
at 23:00 I think you mean "magic, rare or unique", although i doubt its relevant for anyone ever.
I have saved this video to watch more later, and to be my main crafting reference. Thanks so much for sharing your time to help us who really don't have it all down. And RIP holding ALT to compare items /sniffle
THE best guide for Crafting, very well made and easy to follow. Thank you so much I finally understood something
