The items cannot be corrupted or mirrored, Sanctified items can be reforged, however.
Item variant interactions can vary, for example: Shrine Sceptres can only be reforged with other sceptres granting the same Purity skill Portent AmuletPortent AmuletRequires Level 42Grants <Random Persistent Buff skill>-1 Suffix Modifier AllowedWe reach for the promises lost...s can be reforged regardless of granted skill and will roll a new random skill with level dependent on the output ilvl Darkness EnthronedDarkness EnthronedFine BeltRequires Level 62Has (1-3) Charm SlotsFlasks gain 0.17 charges per Second(50-100)% increased effect of Socketed Augment ItemsHas 2 Augment Sockets (Hidden)This item gains bonuses from Socketed Items as though it was <Random socketable equipment type>Kulemak sat triumphant, raising the crown.Darkness coiled the world in eternal night.Victory, a mere moment, came crashing down.No conqueror, no conquered, only searing Light. can be reforged regardless of which item type the inputs gain socketed bonuses as but will always return an item that gains bonuses as if it was gloves[confirmation needed] Any 3 rolls of The Unborn LichThe Unborn LichRavenous StaffStaffRequires Level 78, 137 IntGrants Skill: Level (18-20) Feast of Flesh(60-80)% increased Desecrated Modifier magnitudes<Custom Desecrated prefix><Lich's Desecrated prefix><Lich's Desecrated suffix><Lich's Desecrated prefix or suffix><List of mods>In ghastly pits beneath the world,Kulemak grows countless new bodies,each more powerful than the last.Not all of his abominations survive. can be reforged to produce a new copy with unrevealed desecrated modifiers.

Omens

Omens are a type of currency items. Activating an omen will guarantee a specified outcome when its condition is met, such as a guaranteed crafting outcome or an effect on the player character. Once triggered, the omen is consumed. Most omens are obtained from Ritual encounters, but some omens come from other content.

To use an omen, right-click to activate it. While it remains in the player's inventory, the activated omen will be consumed when the relevant condition is met. It is possible to have multiple related omens active at a time (e.g., an Omen of Sinistral Annulment and an Omen of Greater Annulment can be used together to remove two prefix modifiers). However, activating an omen while another, non-related omen is active may deactivate the old one.

Only one non-crafting omen can be used per area instance. Crafting omens can be used multiple times per instance, and different omen effects can be stacked, though they will typically prevent the craft if one or more omens are invalid combinations.

Crafting Basics

Crafting is a mechanic in Path of Exile 2 that involves using currency or certain game mechanics to modify the inherit stats and modifiers of items. Almost all items can be "crafted" to change and enhance the item- the current exceptions being corrupted and mirrored items, which because of their status as "corrupted" or "mirrored" cannot have normal crafting currencies or processes done upon them (Note: it is still possible to add runes and soul cores to their rune sockets).

Mechanics

The process of crafting is the addition or augmentation of modifiers (or the rerolling of the value of those modifiers- see § Randomising numerical values) onto an item through various chance-based or deterministic steps. Certain currencies and crafting items can alter the odds for a specific outcome to occur.

Upgrading rarity

"Upgrading" refers to changing an item's rarity.

Augmenting and removing modifiers

"Augmenting" refers to adding an explicit modifier to an item without changing its rarity. Magic items (this includes almost all flasks, charms, and relics) have a default modifier limit of 2 (1 prefix and 1 suffix) , while almost all rare items have a default modifier limit of 6 (3 prefixes and 3 suffixes)- the exception being rare jewels, which have a limit of 4 (2 prefixes and 2 suffixes).
