Step-by-Step POE2 Crafting Recipes

September 3, 2026David MeentsGuides

A crafting recipe is a plan you can follow with the game open: start with this base, apply this currency, and here's what happens on success and on failure. The cost is worked out in advance from live prices, so you know what you're signing up for.

Reading a recipe

A recipe is a graph that starts at the base, with any item level requirement. Each step names the currency, how many attempts to expect, and what the item looks like on success. Failure branches lead somewhere too: usually to a recovery step, sometimes back to the start. The final node is the item you're crafting toward.

The Base card on the right shows the exact base with its stats, and the Estimated cost card totals every currency in the plan at current prices. When something has no market price the total is marked as a lower bound.

Following one

The browse page lists community recipes, searchable by title and tag. Star the ones you use and they collect in your library. Anyone can browse; starring and publishing need an account.

Writing your own

New recipe starts you at a base picker, backed by the same base type and modifier reference. From there you add steps, choose the currency for each, and describe the success and failure outcomes. The estimated cost updates as you go.

Keep recipes private while you test them. Once one has produced the item a few times, make it public and it joins the browse page under your name.
