Endgame
14 crafting guides on endgame: the strategy first, then which part Exiled Bench can do for you.
Double-Influenced Tailwind Boots: Onslaught, CDR or Spectres
Choose an Onslaught, cooldown or Raise Spectre donor for Tailwind boots. Follow the elevated Onslaught route through the merge, Elusive and movement speed.
How to Craft an Explode Chest in PoE 3.29 (and Elevated Explode)
The Crusader body-armour mod that makes enemies explode on kill is a clear-speed staple. Here are the realistic ways to land it, the imprint + Orb of Dominance route to elevated explode, and which parts to automate.
Physical Axe Craft: Recombine Three Strong Prefixes
Turn Alt-rolled physical axe donors into a usable weapon: choose ilvl 83 bases, build two-prefix intermediates, recombine and finish the suffixes.
Necrotic Armour: Recombine Prefixes, Finish Suffixes
Craft evasion/ES body armour from magic donors, then finish suppression and attributes with Eater-dominant Eldritch currency. Bases, checkpoints and sources.
Large Attack Cluster: Feed, Fuel and Martial Prowess
Craft an eight-passive bow cluster with Feed the Fury, Fuel the Fight and Martial Prowess. A complete Alt/Regal/Exalt setup with source checks.
Medium Cluster Jewels: Automate Alt, Regal and Exalt
Choose a Chaos DoT medium cluster and automate Wicked Pall → Regal → Exalt for Flow of Life, with real app settings, an importable loadout and sources.
Crafting Influenced Items: Shaper, Elder and Conqueror Mods
Influenced bases unlock some of the strongest mods in Path of Exile. Here's how influence works, how an item gets it (Conqueror's Exalted Orbs, Awakener's Orb, Orb of Dominance), and how to target influence mods precisely.
Fossil Crafting Explained: Targeted Rolling with Resonators
Fossils bias what an item can roll, and since 3.28 they only come from Delve. Here's how fossil crafting works, how to pick fossils, and how to batch the load-socket-apply loop.
Harvest Crafting Explained: Tag Reforges, Lifeforce and What's Left
Harvest no longer has the old 'reforge keeping prefixes' or 'remove' crafts. What it does have (tag-guaranteed reforges, more/less-likely reforges and resistance swaps) is still some of the most targeted crafting in the game.
Choose a Crafting Base: Item Level, Donors and Finished Gear
A donor that can roll one mod is not automatically a good endgame base. Choose item level, defence type, implicit and fracture for the complete craft.
Recombinator Bases: Alt-Rolling Physical Axes and ES Gear
Physical axes and Energy Shield gear start with many magic donor bases. What to roll, how to organise the hits, and where Exiled Bench helps before manual recombination.
Metacrafting: Locking Prefixes and Suffixes in Path of Exile
Metacrafting protects one half of an item while you rework the other. Here's how the 'cannot be changed' bench crafts work, the classic sequences, the cheaper alternatives added since, and where automation fits.
Eldritch Implicits Explained: Eater of Worlds and Searing Exarch
Eldritch implicits add a second layer of power to armour. Here's how Embers and Ichors work, how dominance decides what Eldritch Chaos, Exalted and Annulment Orbs touch, and where it all fits in a craft.
Vaal Orbs: How Corruption Works and When to Gamble
A Vaal Orb can turn a good item into a great one, or brick it instantly. Here's what corruption can do in PoE 1 (including the 3.29 socket change), the rough odds, and when it's worth the risk.
