Alchemy orb recipe.

According to "http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe"

1× Orb of Alchemy = 3 x Identified rare items with same name

I'm trying to sell

1. Woe Nock - HighBorn Bow
2. Behemoth Stinger - Highborn Bow
3. Damnation Branch - Highborn Bow

3X Highborn Bow should give me 1x Orb of Alchemy right?

As far as I know they would all need to be called "Woe Knock-Highborn Bow", so the name needs to be called exactly the same, not just the same base.

Nope. They all have different names. You should be selling e.g. 3 x Woe Nock. Not necessarily harbringer bows.

Those 3 items share the same base item type and not the same name. Your recipe would work if you were trying to sell the following:

1. Woe Nock - HighBorn Bow
2. Woe Nock - HighBorn Bow
3. Woe Nock - HighBorn Bow

It should even work with the following:

1. Woe Nock - HighBorn Bow
2. Woe Nock - Harbinger Bow
3. Woe Nock - Decimation Bow

Back in CB it only needed two of the same name. So it wasn't nearly as hard to do as it is now
I miss the rarename-swap threads dearly.

I guess it could still work if somebody was willing to set it up and enough people would use it. But even then it'll be hard to find matches.
Why am I wearing a heavy belt if I haven't got any pants?

For this recipe <Same base item type: normal, magic, rare (all 20% quality and unidentified) = 2 alchs> I've farmed hailrake in normal tidal island for a while. The idea was that because of his low level the amount of different items he can drop is very low too, so your chances to get the same item type are high. And he's easy to reach.
What you need is lots of IIR (e.g. a Wondertrap setup), a ton of whetstones and scraps, and 5 five quicksilver flasks. And best set aside some stash tabs for the normal, magic and rare gear. If all that is no problem to you, you can get really a lot of alchs in a relatively short time.

That's a good idea. Another way is as a by-product of chancing for uniques; 20q, chance, then save sets to vendor on the fails (in my experience all of them lol).
We tested it extensively

Thanks. This helps a lot.
For me, I pick up white Gavels from the ground and vendors. 4 Whetstones for 20%, then Chance. If blue, vendor with low level map for Chisel. If yellow, keep it and when I get another blue and white it's an Alchemy (20% normal Gavel + 20% magic Gavel + 20% rare Gavel = 1 alchemy). This only takes up 12 squares in your map stash tab.

Ideally I chance a Mjolner but I haven't yet.
