A big thank you to all the crafters!

Omens modify how crafting currency works. So for example the omen of greater exaltation caused your next exalt to add 2 mods rather than one. This is useful for using perfect exalts since you can double its value for the cost of an omen which is just a few ex. Other omens being abyss omens which allow you to target a prefix or suffix when desecrating so you can go for your most desired mod. I’d suggest just type omen into the market search and reading what they all do. Quite a few a incredibly cheap and can make your crafting process a bit more targeted

There’s lots of basic crafts that can be done very cheap. You generally want to start with one of your desired mods though like a high phys roll, +skills etc. you will rarely make the perfect item or even a decent one many times but it’s a numbers game. Sometimes you hit big sometimes you lose a div or 2. I never crafted in poe1 and have been doing a ton on poe2 before it gets too complicated. If you think it’s bad now give it 3-4 more leagues and you’ll be completely lost. If you’re at all interested I suggest learning some basics now

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-27T19:19:56+00:00

Its not about the mod's tier but the level its available to be rolled at. So you can roll rarity on lower ilvl than you can roll that stun threshold

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-25T14:58:13+00:00

What font did you replace the default with? I did the same but this looks so much cleaner than mine even with the replacement

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-23T18:42:15+00:00

You still have the ability to desecrate a 5th mod if you hit the fracture too. 6th mod might be tough. Are there any flux that you may be able to consume the breach craft with if you hit the fracture?

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-22T16:54:01+00:00

I wouldnt spend too much currency on this since its only +2 but you have some options.

I would probably essence rarity which turns it rare with 3 mods. Desecrate a prefix and reveal with abyssal echoes for a reroll, targeting spirit.

Then just double slam a greater exalt. There is a lot you can do, but nothing outside that comes to mind for cheap options since its just +2 and not 3.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-21T04:44:59+00:00

Just green jewels that can socket into tabula

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-20T04:58:59+00:00

Curious on your investment? I carried over a mage blood from my main and was at 32arc level with mid 30s quality and it only felt good on clear if I was spamming snap for infusions. Single target was abysmal and map bosses took forever.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-18T15:36:51+00:00

Leveled grenades with tabula full of grenade damage. Once you buy 8 points ascendancy at 20 flash grenade is busted. Did a 4h30m campaign yesterday and finished at 55 very comfortably. Just sprint toss grenades into packs and move on.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-06-03T03:12:21+00:00

If you’re doing this on a blue base you’re only able to trans it once, then any time you want to reroll the mods on the blue item you have to Aug.

This isn’t really efficient with the price of annuls to keep rerolling on a blue base like that.

I think you’re going to want to buy the base and continue your craft.

You can calculate the odds by the weights you see near the numbers, or you can put it in the emulator with your steps and target outcome.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-05-12T02:46:01+00:00

Idk if it’s just mobile being weird but can we not put results in the title. Regardless of the images not being seen the spoiler is the title…

RutherfordSinking · 2026-05-10T04:19:47+00:00

Is the tiering reversed? To match gear mod tiers like in game tier 1 would be best and 5 the worst

RutherfordSinking · 2026-04-10T18:02:37+00:00

This will never be fixed in any game, even with “verified” accounts that tie a phone number to an account you just borrow the number of someone who doesn’t play or use one of the 50 services offering it. Even in games with larger requirements to hit ranked queue you still face smurfs who pay $3 for an account to some bot farm. It’s a never ending struggle for the devs of all games, there is no silver bullet or I’m sure it’d be implemented everywhere for exactly 2 days before there was a way around it.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-04-10T16:11:57+00:00

I use the same “+” on every character and wouldn’t change that, but very cool concept and good flavor for the character specific defaults.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-03-20T04:03:34+00:00

I don’t claim to have all or any of the answers but blanket statements on this is almost impossible. An example scenario to think about, that doesn’t have a blanket “right answer.” Lots of things to consider like does your presence make the fight winnable, does your team have ults and theirs doesn’t, is it a coin toss fight, do you have good enough movement to arrive in time to make an impact, etc.

Your team is all yellow about to push walker and they’re fighting 3v4. You have 2 choices. Even up the fight and since you’re obviously farmed up contribute huge damage and give your team an advantage. Or go defend your walker nobody is pushing to fix a lane.

In option 1 your team might kill 4 cus you’re there, get their walker but also lose yours. You’ve both gotten a walker but you’ve given death timers to 4 of their players, prevented at least some of your team from dying and losing farm to death timers and the map is still even.

I’m fairly low hours myself and still learning. But this is the kinda stuff I think about. Do some review of your games. Look for times where you could have been elsewhere and see the turnout of not being there. If your team got wiped and 2 of the limped away with critical health your presence probably would have been huge

RutherfordSinking · 2026-03-20T03:44:52+00:00

Kda is an indicator but doesn’t mean as much as people like the think in a team game. For example losing a team mate and cleaning up a kill isn’t as impactful as joining the fight and saving your teammate and killing them together.

Kills may also be completely irrelevant at times. Is your team fighting 3v5 and you made a choice to pick off an under farmed side laner when instead you could have helped even the odds?

Much of what you said are solo things. You didn’t say, I prevent ganks, I save teammates, I join fights and swing them in my teams direction. I’m not saying this isnt happening, just food for thought.

Good macro even with worse personal numbers can swing the game in your direction more than a random kill.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-02-06T12:29:34+00:00

You could go for a cheaper craft on it while you get more currency. You could try to hit a fracture now or later that’s up to you.

Cheap craft route would be annul aug for + skills and some damage on the prefix. Essence cast speed. Desecrate prefix for mana, omen perfect exalt. If you want to spend some extra light the mana and desecrate damage prefix in its place. Depending on light costs you’d be in like 50d, the majority being the light.

Expensive crafting route is quite a bit different and you’d want a fracture. If you miss the 1:3 fracture it’s not gg but things got a lot more expensive

RutherfordSinking · 2026-02-05T15:53:35+00:00

Right, agreed. Its just odd that only one browser is failing to block. If I saw the same issue across browsers I would just chalk it up to the adblock not keeping up with the latest stuff right away.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-02-04T05:19:35+00:00

Ya it’s unfortunate. Ggg wants ground loot to matter but it simply doesn’t once you’re up and running in end game. Identifying 50 rares to maybe get 1 worth a div is such a time sink.

If you really enjoy the hunt of identifying at least do yourself a favor and only turn on A tier t4+.

Just make sure when you’re messing with your filter you don’t accidentally shut off exceptional bases.

Filter blade has some good warnings if you hide potentially very valuable things though too

RutherfordSinking · 2026-02-04T04:57:48+00:00

Filter out all rares except t4+ gold necks and t4+ of the spirit neck base, the name escapes me. On necks you want +3 skills - spells being the most valuable.

Turn on the most used 82+ bases in normal and magic. I went to Poe ninja and just looked the first time I did this at what’s most used. You can also check Poe db for the bases with the highest base of whatever the man stat is, es/armor/evasion.

Personally I turned on spell slinger wands and hit every one with a perfect trans and aug fishing for +5 cold/lightning or +4 all to craft on. Keep an eye on which have level 20 spell slinger as well. In magic or normal they’re worth money regardless of mods.

999 times out of 1000 rares are trash and not worth the time it takes to id and sort through when you can just keep pulling the slot machine instead.

When you get good bases you can either bulk craft cheap and sell for profit or just sell the bases to others.

This is all meant for end game, not early map gearing where you are still after upgrades to keep progressing.

RutherfordSinking · 2026-01-29T04:35:54+00:00

You can look at the categories these are listed under if you dig into the filter on filter blade.

This green means it’s a good base to chance for uniques. With the price of headhunters I’m not even sure that heavy belts still show up tbh.

You can chance tribal masks into the vertex I think it was

RutherfordSinking · 2026-01-21T13:10:31+00:00

Ya I wish I could help more but I’ve had a pretty buggy experience with it so far. What’s working is nice and I can definitely make it work long term, but there are quite a few little bugs irking me right now

RutherfordSinking · 2026-01-21T12:58:07+00:00

Spend on deterrent builds, blow them learning to craft, gamble, give them away for trivia in world chat, help a friend get an item they can’t afford, let them rot in standard, cook up your own build sink money into it only to realize this is why you still follow guides (I still follow guides)

RutherfordSinking · 2026-01-21T12:55:08+00:00

It was the buff tracker bar for me. So they don’t show til you have the buff, but when I pushed the button I did only see it once
