4. League Mechanics Grant Exclusive Crafting Recipes
Certain league mechanics are tied directly to Path of exile currency unlocking advanced crafting:
Syndicate (Betrayal): Uncover recipes by interrogating Syndicate members. These often include Meta-crafting mods like “Prefixes/Suffixes cannot be changed.”
Expedition: Vendors like Rog or Tujen may offer recipe fragments or gear that leads to new recipes.
Harvest: Farming and interacting with Sacred Grove crafts may reveal recipes that you can unlock permanently.
If you’re focused on crafting, always prioritize content from leagues known for deterministic or advanced crafting.
5. Vendor Recipe Unlocks and Hidden Secrets
Some crafting mods are not from the bench directly, but from vendor recipes or item-specific actions:
Vendor Recipes: Combining items in a specific way (e.g., resist rings or belts) can unlock a one-time recipe.
Influenced Gear Mods: Gear that drops with influence (like Shaper or Elder) sometimes requires bench support to craft around. Unlocking relevant recipes helps optimize them.
