PSA: Don’t Sleep on the Chaos Vendor Recipe

It has been the most reliable way to grind up Chaos Orbs in early mapping this league!

Don’t forget to sell the items unidentified!

Faustus is by far the most reliable way to get chaos orbs

A little anecdote: it is precisely because of doing the chaos recipe a few dozen times I could acquire items in Perandus League (2016) that are now worth 50 mirrors on standard.

I did chaos recipe in Affliction league as well to fund my initial equipment. You do need enough empty stashtabs to pull it off.

Sure, but you could instead just run Expedition and get a ton more from Tujen if raw chaos is what you're after

If you're just starting out with maps, you do not have the Atlas points for that.
So chaos recipe is a strategy, provided you have enough stash tabs (five should suffice).
There are better strategies now, but back in the day, it was definitely valid.
A sword he brought, his foes to maim and rend,
from places dark behind forbidden doors,
But night by night he woke with frighten'd roars
from darkest dreams, too strange to comprehend.

Ah, yes, in the good old days 10 years ago when having a stash tab full of red maps was considered cheating
Maybe for like your first 10C of the league to get life/res items. After that its a massive waste of time in current PoE.

And thats maybe. Its probably still a waste of time for even the first 10C.

Better off selling rares for alteration and alchemy shards past the bare minimum, agreed

Chaos recipe was pretty guud 10 years ago when 1 exalt was 22c but other then that just a waste of time.
Still sane exile?
