POE 3.25 - Recombinators Are Still OP - All The Secrets Posted To Reddit - Path Of Exile Settlers

#pathofexile #poe #crafting

If you are serious about endgame crafting in POE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, you are going to need to read the extensive recombinator writeup that was posted to Reddit today ... by one of the people who helped solve how they worked way back in 3.18.

3.18 Recombinator strategies no longer work (mostly) and that led a lot of people to claim they were useless. /u/butsicles' writeup proves that those people are all wrong, and there's a showcase of how to make perfect 3 prefix Archmage wands. But this can be adapted easily, for instance, to perfect 3 prefix bleed axes (my next project), or perfect 3 suffix shaper shields (which will be my subsequent project).

It's ingenious how clever the use of bad mods is.
