Crafting in Path of Exile 2 has reached a new level of control and reward with the 0.3 update. In this PoE 2 0.3 Crafting Guide, we walk you through how to use the latest crafting tools to consistently create top-tier items: deterministic gear, four-mod timeless jewels, grenade crossbows, perfect quivers, and 50% movement speed boots.
Path of Exile 2 0.3 New Crafting Guide
Patch 0.3 in Path of Exile 2 introduced a reworked crafting system that allows for precise, deterministic outcomes on nearly any piece of gear. By understanding how the new bones, omens, essences, and the Well of Souls interact, players can now create items that would have once seemed almost impossible outside of trading.
With the Third Edict update, a host of new crafting currencies and mechanics were introduced, including:
Bones (Nod, Preserved, Ancient): These allow the addition of powerful desecrated modifiers to items. Nod bones have a cap of item level 64, preserved bones work on any item level, and ancient bones guarantee a minimum modifier level.
Omens: These influence what kind of modifier is added or removed next—prefixes, suffixes, certain tags, or even rerolling desecrated mod options at the Well of Souls.
Essences: Now always guarantee a specific mod, turning magic items rare and locking in the essence mod.
Well of Souls: The central crafting station for revealing desecrated mods and making use of omens.
To access the Well of Souls, complete Act 1 and part of Act 2 until you reach the Lightless Passage. Defeat Sinflay and you’ll find the Well, which is used to reveal desecrated mods applied with bones.
How to Craft GUARANTEED Modifiers on Your Gear in PoE 2 0.3?
Crafting guaranteed modifiers on your gear in Path of Exile 2 patch 0.3 is now possible with a methodical approach, using new crafting tools like essences, omens, and the homogenizing exalted orb. The process involves understanding item tags, using the right item bases and item levels, and applying specific currency items that force certain outcomes. With this strategy, you can achieve gear with triple energy shield prefixes and triple resistance suffixes, or other highly targeted mod combinations, with a level of certainty never before possible in Path of Exile.
Step 1: Choose the Right Base and Item Level
Begin by selecting the correct base for your item. For example, when crafting high energy shield gloves, search for siren scale gloves with an item level of 82 or higher. This ensures access to the highest tiers of energy shield and resistance mods. Use tools like Craft of Exile or POE2DB to confirm the item level requirements for your desired mods.
Step 2: Prepare the Base and Add Your First Mod
Ideally, start with a magic or rare version of your base. If you find a white or blue item, use a perfect transmutation orb for your first mod. For gloves, this could mean rolling a flat energy shield prefix. If you want guaranteed mods, use an essence that grants a specific modifier, such as essence of ruin for flat energy shield or chaos resistance. This will result in a rare item with both the targeted prefix and suffix.
Step 3: Understand and Use Mod Tags
Every mod belongs to a tag or family, like “defense” for energy shield or “resistance” for resists. These tags are key for the next steps, as they allow you to control which types of mods are added by certain currency items. Check the tags on your item using Craft of Exile or in-game tools.
Step 4: Use Homogenizing Omen and Exalted Orbs
The homogenizing omen lets your next exalted orb add a mod of the same tag as an existing one on the item. For example, if your gloves have a defense prefix (energy shield) and a chaos resistance suffix, using a homogenizing omen with an exalted orb guarantees that the next mod added will match one of those tags. If there are no possible chaos or resistance prefixes, the orb must add another defense prefix, such as percent energy shield or hybrid energy shield/life.
Step 5: Force Prefixes and Suffixes
To guarantee additional energy shield prefixes, make sure the item already has a defense tag prefix. Use a sinister omen to ensure the exalted orb adds a prefix next, then apply the homogenizing omen for tag matching. For suffixes, after you have one resistance suffix (such as chaos resistance), use homogenizing and greater exalted orbs to guarantee additional elemental resistance suffixes, since there are no chaos resistance suffixes left. This way, you can add cold, fire, or lightning resistance as needed.
Step 6: Use Desecration and Omens for Hybrid Mods
If you need to guarantee a hybrid energy shield mod (flat plus percent), use desecration crafting first to set up the hybrid mod, then use an omen of light to remove any unwanted desecrated mod if needed. This step allows you to fine-tune the prefixes before moving on to suffixes.
Step 7: Reroll or Remove Mods as Needed
If you add an unwanted modifier, use omens like the omen of light to remove it. If you want to reroll for better tiers, the echo of abyssal echoes can let you reroll once when revealing desecrated mods. Repeat this process until you achieve your desired combination.
Step 8: Fill Out the Remaining Mod Slots
Continue slamming with homogenizing omens and exalted orbs, always checking the tags on your item to control what mods can be added. For the highest tiers, use greater or perfect exalted orbs, keeping in mind that perfect orbs are extremely costly.
Step 9: Finalize the Gear
Once you have completed all prefixes and suffixes, you can further enhance the item with quality, sockets, or vaal orbs if desired. This step is optional and best for gear you plan to use for a long time.
How To Craft BIS Weapons in PoE 2 0.3?
Crafting the best-in-slot (BIS) weapons in Path of Exile 2 patch 0.3 is a process that combines game knowledge, currency investment, and efficient use of the new crafting systems. Instead of buying expensive gear, knowing how to create your own godlike equipment can save a lot of currency and let you customize your weapon to perfectly fit your build. The process involves understanding item bases, item level requirements, modifiers, and the use of new orbs, essences, and recombination mechanics. Here is a step-by-step guide to crafting top-tier weapons, such as crossbows, in this patch.
Step 1: Choose the Right Weapon Base
Start by gathering a collection of the desired weapon base. For example, a flexed crossbow is a good base because it features increased bolt speed as its implicit. When picking a base, always check the item level, the higher the item level, the better the possible modifiers. For the highest increased physical damage rolls, aim for an item level 82 crossbow.
Step 2: Research Modifiers
Using sites like POE2DB, search for the best possible modifiers for your weapon. Decide which prefixes and suffixes you want; for example, increased physical damage and increased elemental damage as attack are top priorities for many builds. The power of these buffs is determined by item level.
Step 3: Basic Crafting and Currency Use
Begin by using an orb of transmutation on a white base to make it a magic item, then use an orb of augmentation to add a second modifier. Next, apply a regal orb to make the item rare. This is the most basic crafting approach and can already produce valuable results, especially when lucky with rolls.
Step 4: Use Higher-Tier Orbs
Greater and perfect orbs of transmutation and augmentation give a higher chance for top-tier rolls. Slam these orbs on all your bases to quickly check for high-tier affixes. Keep any items with desirable combinations and set aside the rest.
Step 5: Reforging and Recombination
For bases with okay but not perfect rolls, use the reforging bench, which lets you combine three items of the same type for a new outcome. This can be repeated to clear out weaker items and occasionally hit better results. The recombinator is another powerful tool: combine two items to try and merge their best affixes. This process is more worthwhile when one of the mods is very strong.
Step 6: Essence Crafting
Essences have received a huge rework and now offer guaranteed modifiers. Use lower-tier essences in the campaign, and later upgrade to greater or perfect essences for the best bonuses. For example, essence of haste can grant up to 25% attack speed, while essence of seeking adds critical hit chance. Apply essences to blue items for rare upgrades with guaranteed mods.
Step 7: Using Abyssal Essences and Well of Souls
Find essence of abbis from abyssal pits and use it on your item to remove a random modifier and add a special “mark of abyssal lord” modifier. After this, visit the Well of Souls (in Act 2) to reveal new mod options and select the one that best fits your weapon. Omens can be used for extra control, such as guaranteeing a roll on a desired modifier.
Step 8: Fill Out the Weapon With Exalted Orbs
Once you have a strong base with solid prefixes and suffixes, use exalted orbs (preferably greater exalted orbs) to add more mods. This step is best saved for items with already strong affix combinations, as exalted orbs are expensive.
Step 9: Optimize With Omens and Recombination
Omens obtained from rituals or abyssal depths can help fine-tune your weapon, letting you lock or remove specific prefixes or suffixes before crafting further. For the most valuable weapons, combine the use of omens, greater essences, and recombinator crafting for the highest chance at perfect outcomes.
Step 10: Final Touches and Quality
Once the weapon is finished, consider using vaal orbs for final random upgrades, such as adding sockets or bonus stats. Most of the time, this step is optional and best left for weapons you’re ready to gamble with.
How to Craft 4 Mod BIS Timeless Jewels in PoE 2 0.3?
Crafting four-mod timeless jewels is now a high-profit activity, but it has risks at every step:
Obtain Bases: Buy or farm non-Techro undying hate timeless jewels (Techro is the most expensive, but any will work for crafting).
Desecrate Mods: Use preserved cremin to add mods, up to four. Each desecration after the second has a higher chance to destroy the jewel, so expect some losses.
Sell or Continue: After reaching three or four mods, you can sell unrevealed four-mod jewels for profit, as they are in high demand.
Reveal Mods: At the Well of Souls, use an Omen of Abyssal Echoes to reroll for better mod options when revealing each desecrated mod.
Change Base: When you have the desired four mods, use divine orbs to reroll the base type to Techro (or whichever is most valuable). This also rerolls the mod values, so you’ll need to stop when you hit the right base.
Profit: Four-mod Techro timeless jewels can sell for 70-80 divines, reflecting the risk and cost.
The most reliable approach is to desecrate all four mods first, reroll for the base last, and always use omens to maximize your odds at each reveal.
How to Craft a Chaos Resistance Ring in PoE 2 0.3?
This method lets you stack a huge amount of chaos resistance on a single ring, making it easier to hit resistance caps and free up gearing options elsewhere. With the right bases and a sequence of recombination, omens, and catalysts, you can produce rings with over 50% chaos resistance and still add life or other desired stats.
1. Choosing the Right Bases
Start by buying amethyst rings with high-tier elemental resistances and breach rings with high-tier chaos resistance. Amethyst rings are ideal for their chaos resistance implicit, while breach rings can be quality’d up to 40% for even more resistance.
2. Recombinating for Double Resistances
The goal is to combine the chaos resistance from the breach ring with the all elemental resistance from the amethyst ring:
Use recombination to merge the two, aiming for a ring with both high chaos resistance and elemental resistance.
Omen of recombination makes the process “lucky,” nearly doubling your chances. For tier one/tier one, it’s about a 12% chance; for tier one chaos and tier two elemental, it’s higher.
If you’re on a budget, using tier two elemental resistances is more cost-effective and raises your odds.
If you fail several times, consider buying more rings or using slightly lower tiers as needed.
3. Adding Ulaman Chaos Modifiers
Once you have a ring with both resistances:
Check the available desecrated modifiers on PoEDB if you want a different resistance pairing (e.g., fire and chaos from Amanamu). For Ulaman, chaos resistance is nearly guaranteed.
This can push your chaos resistance well above 50% on a single ring.
4. Maximizing Quality for Extra Resistance
Add quality to your finished ring—breach rings can go up to 40%. This boosts both the base chaos resistance and the Ulaman mod. With a perfect roll, you can reach up to 68% chaos resistance if the recombination lands on the amethyst base due to its implicit.
5. Adding Other Desired Mods With Catalysts and Omens
To further improve the ring:
Use omen of catalyzing exaltation alongside the correct catalyst to force a specific mod. For example: Apply flesh catalysts for life, neural for mana, or defense for evasion.
Get the ring to 40% quality with the relevant catalyst, then use the omen and slam with a greater exalted orb for a strong chance at that mod (e.g., 91 life). For even higher tiers, a perfect exalted orb guarantees tier one mods.
You can repeat this process for other mods like mana or physical damage, using the appropriate catalyst and omen.
A finished ring can have 90 life, 55 chaos resistance, and strong elemental resistance, all on one item. Add quality to reach the highest possible chaos resistance. These rings can be quite valuable, and crafting them costs far less than their potential market price.
How to Craft a Crit Bow and Crit Quiver for LA Deadeye in PoE 2 (Patch 0.3)?
Below we provide a clear, step-by-step process to create a high-performing crit bow and crit quiver for Lightning Arrow Deadeye in Path of Exile 2 (Patch 0.3). The methods here will let you assemble gear that rivals expensive trade listings, but at a fraction of the price.
Crafting a Crit Bow: Step-by-Step
1. Preparing Your Bow Base
Start with an item level 81 Gemini bow base. These can be bought for about one exalt or found as drops. Make sure your base is two-socketed.
2. Getting a Crit Fracture
Apply a crit essence to the bow until you roll at least 3.7% or higher base crit chance. Once you have your desired crit, use a Draw Bone (which adds a modifier). At this point, your bow will have three modifiers.
With three mods, use a Fracture Orb. You cannot fracture the Draw Bone mod, so there is a 1-in-3 chance to fracture your high crit modifier. This usually takes one or two attempts.
3. Chaos Spamming for Damage
Once your critical strike chance is fractured, annul down to one modifier. Now, chaos spam the bow for good damage rolls. Look for:
For instance, hitting tier one lightning damage is an ideal scenario. Getting tier two or better flat or percent physical usually costs around 70 chaos orbs, with tier one outcomes being more expensive.
4. Using Necromancy and Draw Bone
With your fractured crit and a strong flat damage roll, use Cinnial Necromancy and another Draw Bone. This step introduces some randomness, as the unveil can cost several divines if you're unlucky. Use an Abyssal Echo here for a reroll, as it's inexpensive and increases your options.
When you unveil, the best mods to look for are companion damage or quiver effect. Both are frequent unveils, and either is very strong for your build. Tier two flat or better, or tier three percent physical attack damage, are also solid results. Even increased damage on attacks is usable.
If you miss, use an Omen of Light to reroll again. Continue the process until you hit a valuable modifier. Companion damage is especially potent due to the Deadeye passive, which applies increased companion damage to yourself, yielding over 100% increased damage.
5. Finalizing Prefixes and Suffixes
Once you have your fractured crit, flat damage, and companion damage/other strong unveil:
Use a Dextual Exaltation and an Exalted Orb to add a suffix modifier (doesn't matter what you hit).
Use Dextual Crystization to remove a suffix, locking your prefixes.
Apply Essence of Electricity for guaranteed "as extra lightning damage" on the prefix.
6. Completing the Bow
Add two more exalts to fill the suffixes. If you get a strong suffix (like crit damage bonus or plus one arrow), you can adjust your final steps. If not, proceed with Essence of Haste and Essence of Battle to try for desirable suffixes. It's generally better to use Essence of Haste first, as it’s cheaper.
Once you’re happy with your suffixes, your bow is complete. Qual it and socket two lightning damage runes if you lack flat physical on the bow. The resulting bow should have high DPS, extra damage, and useful utility for a much lower investment than trading for a similar item.
Crafting a Crit Quiver: Step-by-Step
1. Selecting a Good Base
Pick up item level 75+ quiver bases, either as drops or from trade. Look for bases with at least one usable suffix:
Critical hit chance
Critical hit damage
Attack speed
Plus two arrows
And a strong prefix:
2. Building Up the Quiver
Once you have a base with a good suffix and prefix, use Perfect Transmute and Perfect Augment to fill out the mods. The aim is to have a tier one suffix and prefix.
Next, use a Homogenizing Coration and a Perfect Regal Orb to add another strong mod. The best outcome is another tier one flat or increased projectile speed, but even tier two or three flat is fine for a starting point.
3. Applying Draw Bone and Necromancy
Use a Draw Bone (or an Ancient Draw Bone for the highest rolls) and Essential Necromancy to guarantee a prefix. Then use an Abyssal Echo for an additional reroll.
Unveil and look for increased bow damage or high flat damage. If you miss, you can annul and try again with a new base. The crafting cost is low enough to make retrying reasonable.
4. Finalizing the Quiver
Once you have a suitable quiver, use a Homogenizing Orb and an Exaltation Omen. This lets you slam two more exalts efficiently.
For the best results, use a Perfect Exalt if your quiver has all tier one mods, but a Greater Exalt is fine for tier two mods. The remaining attack modifiers (such as crit damage and crit chance) will fill the last slots.
How to Craft a Perfect Amulet for LA Deadeye in PoE 2 0.3?
This guide details the process for crafting a top-tier amulet for Lightning Arrow Deadeye in PoE 2 0.3. Using the right sequence of fractures, essences, catalysts, and omens, you can secure powerful stats such as global defense, high resistances, and rarity.
1. Selecting and Preparing Your Base
Begin by obtaining a suitable fractured base. These can be pricey, so you may choose to fracture one yourself or simply purchase one if the price is similar. Once you have your base, the crafting process can begin.
2. Starting Suffixes and Prefixes
The main goal is to secure spirit and global defense early on, followed by filling out the suffixes:
If you’re debating desecrating first, it’s often best to proceed directly with exaltation at this stage. Use the appropriate essence; some essences may be expensive, but they’re necessary for the optimal result.
3. Using Essences and Catalysts
Essence crafting is used to secure global defense. After a successful essence application:
Use defense essence to guarantee global defense as a suffix.
If needed, desecrate to manage suffixes.
Reroll until you avoid unwanted resistances (such as cold resist if you don't need it).
If you land fire resistance or rarity, evaluate if you can build further. However, rarity is hard to build on unless you can guarantee another good suffix, so it’s often best to avoid it unless the rest of the suffixes are perfect.
4. Suffix Management
Once you have desirable suffixes, use catalyst tech for further optimization. Applying a catalyst increases the chance of hitting specific resistances during homogenization.
With the right catalyst, you can guarantee a resistance suffix, with a higher chance for cold resistance if that’s your goal.
Use suffix homogenization at this stage.
If you miss the preferred resistance, you can null to remove unwanted suffixes, accepting a one-in-four risk of bricking the amulet. The odds favor this approach over recrafting from scratch, given the cost analysis.
5. Omen Use and Final Suffixes
If you land a resistance you don’t want, you can use an omen (such as omen of light) to remove it. Repeat the process as needed:
After using omen of light, reapply essence or catalyst for another chance at the preferred resistance.
If you hit fire resistance, it’s still usable; the number doesn’t matter since you’ll be replacing it anyway.
Use tool catalyst if necessary, and keep rerolling until you hit the resistance and tier you want.
6. Exalting and Perfecting the Amulet
Once your suffixes are where you want them:
Use a perfect exalt when you’re at a stage where only ideal mods can be added. This ensures a strong outcome, such as tier one all resistances.
Suffixes should be guaranteed at this point; removing weaker tiers (like tier four fire) with catalysts is acceptable.
Continue until you have strong resistances, ideally tier two or better.
If everything lines up, you can now move on to the final mod:
Aim for percent-based bonuses, such as good armor or evasion, with the body armor mod.
If you roll rarity, especially tier two rarity, this is a valuable addition.
How To Craft a +4 Minion Sceptre in PoE 2 0.3?
Below, we will explain how to craft a top-tier +4 minion scepter for your summoner build in PoE 2 0.3. The process uses targeted crafting steps and careful modifier management to produce a scepter with +3 or +4 to minion skill gems and other useful stats.
1. Choosing the Right Base and Item Level
Start with a rattling scepter - the preferred base for most minion builds. The item level matters: it must be item level 78 or higher to allow rolling +4 to minion skill gems. Always check the item level before starting.
2. Understanding Tags and Homogenizing Omens
The core of this craft is knowing how tags interact with homogenizing omens:
Every affix (mod) on an item has tags, such as "minion," "life," or "mana."
When you use a homogenizing omen and then exalt the item, the new mod will share a tag with an existing mod.
For example, if your item only has a mana tag, exalting with a homogenizing omen will always add a mana-related mod.
For plus minion gems, you want to guarantee that the new affix will be +3 or +4 to minion skill gems, which is tagged as "minion."
3. Step-by-Step Crafting Process
Obtain a rattling scepter (item level 78+), add mods that only share the tag you want. For this craft, you want mods with "minion" or "life" tags. For example, combine "allies in your presence regenerate life" (a life tag) with "minions have increased HP" (a minion tag). If your item has only life and minion tags, using a homogenizing exalt will guarantee a minion-related mod.
With the correct prefixes set, use a greater exalted orb (minimum modifier level 30 or 35) to guarantee +3 or +4 minion skill gems. Avoid using a perfect exalted orb, as +3 is at level 55 and not needed. The greater exalted orb will add +3 or +4 to minion skill gems, with about a 60% chance for +3 and 40% for +4.
You can combine a scepter with spirit and another with minion life or ally regen. Use recombination to create a rare scepter with both spirit and your desired minion/life mod. If you want to keep spirit, make sure you merge two scepters—one with spirit and one with minion/life, then recombine.
After you have a scepter with the desired +3/+4 minion skill gem mod and two other mods, use desecration to add a veiled mod. Before unveiling, fracture the item. The veiled mod cannot be fractured, so you have a one-in-three chance to fracture the minion skill gem mod. If successful, you can annul other unwanted mods, leaving the fractured minion skill mod for further crafting.
With the fractured +3/+4 minion skill mod, you can target additional desirable mods using desecration and homogenizing omens. For example, desecrate until you hit a desired modifier, then use omen of light to remove unwanted mods after exalting. Alternatively, use homogenizing exalts to add powerful suffixes or prefixes, depending on your build needs.
4. Tips on Advanced Mod Management
If you want to target specific tags (like attack speed or cast speed for minions), check which tags are present on your item to control what can be added with homogenizing omens. Using desecration to add veiled mods gives more control over fracture attempts, reducing randomness. And always check the tags of your current mods before using homogenizing omens or exalts to avoid unwanted affixes.
How to Craft Grenade Crossbow in PoE 2 0.3?
Grenade crossbows can be crafted with nearly deterministic results:
Choose the base: Start with a high item level siege crossbow for the best possible mods.
Isolate the desired mod: Use perfect orb of transmutation to restrict the mod pool, then try to hit the desired prefix or suffix with augmentation or chaos spam.
Apply Essence: Use greater essence of abrasion for guaranteed flat physical damage.
Add a desecrated prefix: Use Omen of Sinestral Necromancy and preserved jawbone to guarantee an Amanamu prefix (such as grenade damage).
Reveal at Well of Souls: Ensure the desired grenade mod is present.
Fill Suffixes: Exalt slam to fill suffixes.
Add Onslaught and +6: Use perfect essence of haste for onslaught on kill, and perfect essence of battle for +6 attack skill levels. If one overwrites the other, just repeat until both are present.
Finalize and Divine: Use divine orbs for the highest rolls.
This method lets you deterministically create a crossbow with flat/percent physical damage, 100% grenade damage, onslaught, and +6 to attack skill levels.
How to Craft Perfect Quiver in PoE 2 0.3?
Perfect quivers can be achieved through careful slot control and omens:
Select the base and fracture: Use an ilvl 75+ base and fracture attack speed or +2. Attack speed is best for double crit.
Null until one mod remains, then chaos spam for tier one flat damage.
Add second mod: Exalt once for the second affix.
Target unveil or draw bone: For the next slot, use bones and omens to control the next modifier.
Repeat until desired prefixes/suffixes are present. After this, all further steps are deterministic.
Fill out the quiver: Use omen of greater exaltation and omen of homogenizing exaltation plus a perfect exalt to guarantee double crit on the quiver. Use Dextral Quization and Hysteria to ensure bow damage rolls.
By following this process, you can create a quiver with top-tier attack speed, double crit, and bow damage, at a fraction of the historical cost.
How to Craft 50% Movement Speed Boots in PoE 2 0.3?
Boots with 50% movement speed and high evasion or other desired stats are now achievable:
Fracture or chaos spam for movement speed: Start with a base that already has movement speed or use recombination if needed.
Chaos spam for T1 deflection: Secure the top-tier evasion roll.
Mark of the Abyss for T1 resistance: Guarantees a high resistance suffix.
Slam prefixes: Use exalts and omens to guarantee desired prefixes.
Essence for movement speed: Use an essence and an omen to only remove prefixes, guaranteeing the movement speed affix is present.
Double Exalt Omen: Use a perfect exalt for double evasion rolls if desired.
Finalize suffixes: Fill out the last suffix with high resistance or rarity as needed.
Each crafting step is controlled using the right omen, essence, and affix slot manipulation, ensuring every mod on the boots is what you want.
