Welcome Exiles To The Path of Recipes


In the chaos of loot explosions and endless stash tabs, it's easy to overlook one of PoE’s most powerful tools — vendor recipes. These are specific item combinations you can sell to NPC vendors in exchange for valuable currency, gear, or crafting bases. This guide breaks down the most important, profitable, and time-saving recipes, whether you’re just starting out or trying to min-max every drop. Knowing what to pick up — and why — can make your early game smoother and your late game richer.

KEYWORD TOOL
If you are searching for a particular keyword you can click CTRL+F to bring up the search bar and then search for the keyword you want.
0.1. Vendor
  • A vendor is an NPC in any of the main towns across 10 Acts. They offer items with item level one higher than the players' current level, up to a cap. The player may also sell items to a vendor; the items the player gets in return is determined by vendor recipes.

0.2. How Vendor Recipe System Works

The vendor recipe system allows the player to sell items to any town vendor in exchange for a multitude of currency items and equipment. Each recipe requires semi-specific items or combinations of items be put into the sell window at the same time, and the outcome will change based on any recipes that have been matched. Unless noted otherwise, each item may only be involved in a single recipe at a time.

0.3. Why You Should Use Vendor Recipes

When farming currency, efficiency is the key, and the same applies when using vendor recipes. Some of these recipes not only reward you with extra currency but can also be used to acquire important league start gear to help you through the campaign.

1. Equipment

Basic Crafting
Fractured items and corrupted items cannot be used as base items for these recipes. The following vendor recipes allow you to craft existing items by adding a specific modifier that you need. Some recipes are specific to a certain rarity of target item: if the ingredients do not match the recipe, consider using a currency orb first such as the Orb of Transmutation to make the item into Magic rarity.
Create new item
All recipes of this type create a new base item (with randomized base defences). The following are removed: - enchantments, Eldritch implicits, Synthesised implicits, Incubators, Crucible passive trees The following are retained: - quality, sockets, links, item level, influences


e.g. The ingredient item must be of Normal or Magic or Rare rarity, recipe always makes a Magic item. Hybrid weapon local damage mod does not work.


e.g. Weapon may be any rarity, recipe always makes a Magic item. - Magic Rustic Sash- the "Heavy" mod (40-49% - level requirement 1) - Rare Rustic Sash- the "Serrated" mod (50-64% - level requirement 8) - Unique Rustic Sash- the "Wicked" mod (65-84% - level requirement 18)


e.g. Weapon may be any rarity, recipe always makes a Magic item. - Magic Chain Belt- the "Apprentice's" mod (level requirement 1) - Rare Chain Belt- the "Adept's" mod (level requirement 8) - Unique Chain Belt- the "Scholar's" mod (level requirement 18)





Modify existing item
Fractured items and corrupted items items cannot be used as base items for these recipes. All recipes of this type add a modifier to an existing item or alters the item without affecting its other stats. The following are retained: - enchantments, Eldritch implicits, Synthesised implicits, Incubators, Crucible passive trees, base defences, quality, sockets, links, item level, influences


e.g. All gems must have the required damage type tags. Cannot use warstaff or generic dagger. The two-hand version of these mods can have a range of +(1-2) gem levels, but the vendor recipe will always result in +1. It can be rerolled using a Divine Orb. - Physical - Lithomancer's mod for one-hand; Lithomancer's mod for two-hand - Fire - Flame Shaper's mod for one-hand; Flame Shaper's mod for two-hand - Cold - Frost Singer's mod for one-hand; Frost Singer's mod for two-hand - Lightning - Thunderhand's mod for one-hand; Thunderhand's mod for two-hand - Chaos - Mad Lord's mod for one-hand; Mad Lord's mod for two-hand


e.g. The jewel socket suffix is removed. All other affixes are retained. Exists to convert legacy Cluster Jewels into contemporary equivalents.

6. Single Item with Mods
These recipes result from selling a single item when no other recipes are valid.

This is the "default" recipe. If an item does not have a more powerful recipe, it defaults to producing a Scroll Fragment. 5 Scroll Fragments automatically combine to form a Scroll of Wisdom.




Transmutation Shard
Transmutation Shards come from unidentified items. 20 Transmutation Shards automatically combine to form an Orb of Transmutation.




Alteration Shard
Alteration Shards come from identified items depending on their affixes. 20 Alteration Shards automatically combine to form an Orb of Alteration. Most affixes sell for Alteration Shards.






Alchemy Shard
Certain rarer affixes may yield Alchemy Shards instead of Alteration Shards. 20 Alchemy Shards automatically combine to form an Orb of Alchemy.




Orb of Augmentation
An identified rare item with six affixes can be traded for an Orb of Augmentation. Note that magic items may only have a maximum of two affixes.




Orb of Scouring
1x Orb of Scouring - Any rare item with 2 affixes. This can be created by using a Regal Orb on a one-affix magic item or by using an Orb of Annulmenton a rare item.
7. Quality Items
These recipes produce currency items that improve the quality of their category of items. To produce the currency requires either one of the following: 1. A single normal item (not magic, rare, etc.) of that category with 20% or higher quality OR Several items (any rarity) of that category with a total of at least 40% quality. 2. When done for multiple instances of the recipe at once, each individual combination must add up to 40%. (2 individual combinations do not add up to 40 each.)

8. Multiple Rare Items
These recipes require multiple items, mostly rares.

X of a Kind
These recipes require multiple identified rare items with the same name.


Straight Flush
These recipes require multiple items of the same base item type (e.g. Recurve Bow), one from each rarity specified. Items that cannot increase in quality, such as jewellery and belts, will never yield Orbs of Alchemy with this recipe.




Full Rare Sets
These recipes require a full set of rare items. A full set is capable of filling all item slots in the inventory screen (not including flasks, the alternate weapon set, or a quiver).
One of the following: 1x Two-Handed Weapon (including bows, quiver not required) 1x One-Handed Weapon and 1x Shield 2x One-Handed Weapon 2x Shield
+
Full armour set ( 1x Helmet 1x Body Armour 1x Gloves 1x Boots 1x Belt 1x Amulet 2x Ring )
The type of currency produced depends on the item with the lowest item level in the set, and the quantity on whether they are all unidentified and/or 20% or higher quality:
If a rare item below item level 60 is added to a Chaos Orb recipe then the recipe will change to an Orb of Chance recipe. If a rare item below item level 75 is added to a Regal Orb recipe then the recipe will change to a Chaos Orb recipe. Belts, Amulets, and Rings appear to always be seen as 20% quality for this recipe as they do not have any basic quality. As such, they do not require the use of Catalysts.
