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.

    "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
  • @KAEFARIK
    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!
  • 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
  • @cliffrogers5886
    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.
  • @CooleyHigh20
    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.
  • @reikun86
    Excuse me sir, I'm going to need you to mirror that level 9 wand for us to get a full understanding of crafting!
  • @slappfesk
    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
  • @precioum
    you have the magic of breaking complicated stuff into small segments making it very understood, loved this vid!
  • 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 <3
  • @pararapat
    Not even done watching and this has already helped me more than dozens of other videos and guides. Thank you so much for this.
  • Best ... crafting ... video ... ever. I have watched dozens, maybe hundreds, of crafting videos and most either confuse me, because the YouTuber 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!
  • How dare you to record such a gem for everyone!? You're a piece of wonderful human being !!!!
  • @acksawblack
    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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • @gregperez90
    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 😁
  • @anthonyg6083
    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.
  • @naturesrat5522
    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 :)
