Just a question. Can you make potions rare/uniqe too?

I THINK so. I used a couple of orbs of chances but only got magic (blue) potions. Not sure about getting a unique "tears of merveil" or something.

I guess we will have to find out, wont we ^^

I have a question for Starcraft42. How come you concentrated only on increased rarity and not increased quantity at all?

You are absolutely right.

Unfortunately, I have not found or crafted any decent items with high Rarity Find AND Item Quantity.

At the moment I prefer high Rarity over mediocre rarity and quantity. Will hopefully get both at some point though. (Although in 6 player games, the wall of text of items that already drops now is quite insane). ^^
Thanks for answering my question Starcraft42. Keep on posting awesome tutorials, I've loved the two I've seen.

Hi there,

I decided to make a little tutorial on how to use the crafting system of PoE.

First of all, crafting items is a big part of the appeal that any game can offer to me. I just love making my own stuff. ^^

In the video, you will see that I was rather successful with my tries, too ^^

So without further ado, here it is: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/17206785.

Any questions, comments are appreciated.

Please check out my other tutorial about the skill tree (ice witch bitch) http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/6905/highlight/tutorial

I hope you enjoy the vids ^^

Stay hoopy,
Starcraft42

You can get Unique items from an Orb of Chance (assuming of course it's the proper base item type). Flasks cannot be rare (yellow) only magic (blue).

Quick update to what I learned from play up to lvl 65 so far:

1) In general do NOT be overly concerned with upgrading items until you hit lvl 45-55. Standard gear that you find will be mostly OK until then anyways. Yellow items you find early game are great and usually suck late game (unless you get reaaaaally lucky).

2) Orbs you can use freely BEFORE late game, because you will have a lot:
- Orbs of Chance (to me the most useless late game, you got plenty)
- Whetstone
- Armor shards
- Orb of Augmentation (to add 1 mod to a 1 mod blue)

Use sparsly:
- Orb of Transmutation

3) Try to save up the following orbs:
- Orb of Transformation (I cant find those to save my life)
- Orb of Alchemy
- Regal Orb
- Exalted Orb
- Chaos Orb

4) Special rules:
- Exception to the above: Rings and Amulets - if they are really good, use anything you have to make them perfect. You usually end up wearing them a long time.
- Jewelers Orb: Only use this after you created a (near) perfect item. And dont use them before 0.9.3 because they make you sad ^^

Hope that helps!

I want my ring back, EX_ICU ^^
