How to know what you can craft when trading?

Hey all, I'm a relatively new player trying to learn how to trade effectively. After spending 70c on a wand without realizing I couldn't craft minion damage on it because it already had spell damage, I have been paranoid about making sure my intended crafts will work before I buy an item. How do you go about doing this? Is there a list somewhere of mod types that I haven't been able to find? I have been using poecraft.com to try to figure out what crafts are allowed, but there are a lot of explicits it is missing and I am not sure what else to do.

Advice appreciated!

Because it had spell damage or because it already had 3 affixes? I've been playing for 6 years and didnt know the former.

Can you link the item?

The item is this convoking wand.



I intended to craft the "minions deal #% increased damage" prefix onto it, but because that is in the same mod type as "#% increased Spell Damage", I cannot do the craft even though there is an open prefix (E: obviously, this would overwrite the existing craft which I don't want anyway). After learning this, reading the items up for trade started making more sense - any wand with an open prefix that did not have the spell damage explicit (or increased cold/lightning/fire damage, which are all in the same mod type) went for 3-5x the chaos than the one I bought. Clearly this is known by some high-end traders, so I'm just looking for any sort of reference guide for mod types.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for; I don't know why I couldn't find it.

The only thing is that this does not include crafted modifiers and there doesn't seem to be a crafting bench section, do you know if there's a place to find the mod groups of every crafting bench modifier as well? Thanks so much.

Has pretty much all the information regarding crafting possibilities in the game.


But Convocation Wand is actually a pretty big exception because it is the only gear with "can roll x". You can find more info here https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_convoking_wand_modifiers

Thank you so much for your help!

No one suggested using Path of Building to see what you could hypothetically craft?
