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!
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 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
@@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
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 🙏🏻
Best ... crafting ... video ... ever. I have watched dozens, maybe hundreds, of crafting videos and most either confuse me, because the TH-camr 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!
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
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
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
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.
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!
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!
Thank you for this video! A lot of creators seem to forget what it’s really like as a true beginner and the pacing and explanations on this video are perfect.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
Gotta say, for 1 million views and only 14k likes is a crime, it should have 1 million likes. Super nicely done even now years later its still good info. well done and glad it worked well for you the video.
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 😁
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.
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 have never been able to properly understand how crafting works in POE. I relatively new to the game. This was extremely helpful. I couldn't understand the tiering or how people keep talking to me about crafting specific mods I need. Thank you
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!!!!
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...
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.
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!
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 !
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.
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.
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!
Haven't watched the video yet...Just opened it. 2 hours... Subscribe automatically... Thank you for your efforts. I've always been afraid to try crafting...
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.
You are BY FAR the BEST at explaining all this info in NOOB terms.. I actually understand everything you spoke of. Thank You.. You have a thumbs up and a follower!!!!
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
Amazing how you managed to craft a unique with the rare orb, what a fun coincidence. As a new player I can say without a doubt this guide has been INVALUABLE and the presentation was great. Kudos to you sir and thank you for helping me enjoy the game!
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
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!
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
Finally, a video explaining crafting so clearly and easy to follow. I tended to stay away from crafting as I felt the crafting system was so intimidating. Thank you for making this.
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.
Dude. This was the most helpful PoE video i've ever seen. 8k plus hours. Never touched crafting except for harvest league... and the catalyst "likelihood" breakdown was SO helpful.
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 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.
The luck you had, not only predicting the implicit after corrupting, but als the unique after the chance orb 😂 Really great overview, helped me a lot to understand the basics.
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 🙏🏻
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.

watched this video and buyed an 4 nice 2 bad stats Ring. did 20% life quality on it & then luckily anult 1 of the bad stats, now i have room for a craft perk, huge ring, loved the process & learing. really appreciate the video, thanks alot!
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!
I have always struggled to find real good information on poe crafting (beyond just super basic stuff) - this is the best video I have seen it was very useful, thank you!
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!
The greatest, and longest video I’ve ever watched on POE but you did an amazing job. I had no idea how to craft after randomly hopping into leagues for a few years. Thanks a ton dude!!
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.
I never crafted in the game over the 5 years that i played it, i always preferred to look up the modifiers on a trade website and buy the crafted items instead. Thanks to this video i was able to finally craft and make few exalts worth gloves and opal ring. Incredible video not only for new players, but also for veterans that are scared to get into crafting.

Tr1ckyNick PURRime!!! Brittishpkerz Woop ExVerditius Michael R. Nikolaj Aaron W. Colin MEOWtron!!! Nafen L. Mark H. Rentner
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!
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🎉
This is such a fantastic video. This is my first league. ARPGs always have such a complex crafting system when you're trying to min/max, then there's PoE that has significantly more complexity than others. Now I have a resource to refer to. Thanks!
Played league for the first time in archnemesis, and I've been really enjoying it. I must say, that there are aspects that are just way over complicated and tedious. But you're videos have been helpful and approachable
I watched from beginning till the end without skipping a single second. Good job on this guide! Please continue doing videos like these for us beginners. Subscribed for more
This was such a great guide. I've watched a few other guides and they all felt unorganized and poorly explained. I watched all the way through until the influence part and beyond and not because i didnt think it was worth it, just that you already answered a huge bulk of my questions with the basics lol i have no doubt this took you a lot of time and effort to make and, for me, it was 100% worth it. Thank you and take care.

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...
Immediately subscribed.
This is one of the only POE tutorials I’ve found that was easily understood.
Just started watching this, and I love how it begins as "see how scary it is not"
Me: checks video length.... oh over a hour lol
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.
45minutes in, and im overwhelmed. This content really is just 1 system at a time
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 was by far THE MOST informative and undestandable crafting guide ive ever watched, even if it is 2 years old. THX !
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!
Man, 2 minutes into this and I was like "this is EXACTLY the video I needed". Thank you for making this, very well done
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!
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.
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
Incredibly valuable video for someone getting (back) into Path of Exile. Thanks for making this!
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.
Haven't watched the video yet...Just opened it. 2 hours... Subscribe automatically... Thank you for your efforts.
I've always been afraid to try crafting...
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.
You are BY FAR the BEST at explaining all this info in NOOB terms..
I actually understand everything you spoke of.
Thank You..
You have a thumbs up and a follower!!!!
Thank you!
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!
Have you considered a career in teaching? You are better than 99% of teachers and professors I've had. As a new player this video is gold
thank you, never got into crafting because of how complicated it is. this was the gateway for me to get into it. thanks!
the attack speed implicit change then a unique chance orb roll, the gods wanted you to make this amazing guide, thanks so much!
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!
Amazing how you managed to craft a unique with the rare orb, what a fun coincidence. As a new player I can say without a doubt this guide has been INVALUABLE and the presentation was great. Kudos to you sir and thank you for helping me enjoy the game!
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
Dude I'm playing this game for like 7 years yet iv learned new things. 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!
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!
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 ^^
Finally, a video explaining crafting so clearly and easy to follow. I tended to stay away from crafting as I felt the crafting system was so intimidating. Thank you for making this.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any further questions. I help with crafting all the time on stream and discord. Cheers!
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
Dude. This was the most helpful PoE video i've ever seen. 8k plus hours. Never touched crafting except for harvest league... and the catalyst "likelihood" breakdown was SO helpful.
Sadly they removed the catalyst interaction last league, shortly after I made this video.
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!
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 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!
The luck you had, not only predicting the implicit after corrupting, but als the unique after the chance orb 😂
Really great overview, helped me a lot to understand the basics.
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. :)
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.
Important note for newer players: Divine Orbs and Exalted Orbs recently swapped value due to the crafting changes.
what was the change?
@@Sharkey007x Metamods used to cost Exalted Orbs and now cost Divine Orbs.
@@mithos6414 thx much! I thought I was going crazy seeing that. I really wish Exalt drops would go up too though. They've been better in this league, but f...
watched this video and buyed an 4 nice 2 bad stats Ring. did 20% life quality on it & then luckily anult 1 of the bad stats, now i have room for a craft perk, huge ring, loved the process & learing. really appreciate the video, thanks alot!
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!
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!
You know he's dedicated when his stash is color coded
I have always struggled to find real good information on poe crafting (beyond just super basic stuff) - this is the best video I have seen it was very useful, thank you!
Im available all the time on discord and stream if you have any questions. Cheers!
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!
Crafting is a lot more interesting than I thought. Early game does not give it justice. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, very easy to understand.
Thank you!
Just got into the game and I just finished the campaign yesterday. You are by far the best one I saw for explaining this whole crafting thing.
Thank you! May you craft many amazing items into the future.
Sir. Thank you so much for this. Love you
Thank you!
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!
at 23:00 I think you mean "magic, rare or unique", although i doubt its relevant for anyone ever.
The greatest, and longest video I’ve ever watched on POE but you did an amazing job. I had no idea how to craft after randomly hopping into leagues for a few years. Thanks a ton dude!!
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.
I never crafted in the game over the 5 years that i played it, i always preferred to look up the modifiers on a trade website and buy the crafted items instead.
Thanks to this video i was able to finally craft and make few exalts worth gloves and opal ring.
Incredible video not only for new players, but also for veterans that are scared to get into crafting.

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🎉
This is such a fantastic video. This is my first league. ARPGs always have such a complex crafting system when you're trying to min/max, then there's PoE that has significantly more complexity than others. Now I have a resource to refer to. Thanks!
Played league for the first time in archnemesis, and I've been really enjoying it. I must say, that there are aspects that are just way over complicated and tedious. But you're videos have been helpful and approachable
I watched from beginning till the end without skipping a single second. Good job on this guide! Please continue doing videos like these for us beginners. Subscribed for more
Thank you so much!
This was such a great guide. I've watched a few other guides and they all felt unorganized and poorly explained. I watched all the way through until the influence part and beyond and not because i didnt think it was worth it, just that you already answered a huge bulk of my questions with the basics lol i have no doubt this took you a lot of time and effort to make and, for me, it was 100% worth it. Thank you and take care.
