Crafting Guides
Curated step-by-step paths for common crafting goals. Pick the difficulty that matches your budget and ambition.
How many Orb of Chance attempts does it take to hit Headhunter or Mageblood? Select your belt base (Heavy Belt → Headhunter, or Utility Belt → Mageblood), pick your target unique, and run the Monte Carlo. See how many go POOF (destroyed), how many trash uniques you create along the way, and how many divine orbs it costs on average. Warning: at ~1% unique rate with 1/3 chance of the right unique, you're looking at ~300 attempts on average.
Step-by-step replica of the in-game Sapphire jewel recipe posted on this site. Uses Potent Liquid Contempt to gain +1 Prefix slot, Preserved Cranium + Omen of Abyssal Echo to desecrate an ES/Spell Hybrid prefix, Omen of Light + Obliteration of the desecrated tier, Omen of Dextral Annulment to cancel the +1 marker so prefixes are locked, two Exalts to fill the suffix slots, chaos spam for two desirable suffixes, Potent Liquid Ferocity for the Effect of Prefixes suffix, Divine to lock numeric values, 20 Refined Carapace catalysts (50% quality cap), and a Vaal orb at the end. The simulator runs the full recipe against real poe2db weights so success rate and material costs reflect in-game randomness.
How many Divine Orbs does it take to hit your dream Mageblood? Pick your 4 target Legacy flask-type variants and your desired % effect range, then run the Monte Carlo to see how many Divines you'll need on average. Each Divine Orb independently rerolls all 4 Legacy types (from 15 possible) AND the "All Legacies have X% increased effect" numeric mod (25–50). Warning: hitting specific variants is extremely rare — expect thousands of Divine Orbs.
Full deterministic path to craft ilvl 82 exceptional boots with T1 MS, triple T1 ES suffixes (double res + ES recharge rate), and T1 ES prefixes. Uses fracturing, chaos spam, Dextral + Greater exaltations, Perfect Exalt, Preserved Rib, and Omen of Light Jail. Real expected cost: ~30–50 div per successful craft.
Craft top-tier 5+ mod jewels by stacking bonus affix slots via Liquids, Desecration, and targeted Orb priority. This method relies on the PoE2 jewel affix system where Diamond-base jewels have 3 prefix + 3 suffix slots, plus bonus slots from Potent Liquid Contempt (+1 suffix allowed) and Potent Liquid Ferocity (Increased Effect of Suffixes).
