# Crafting Bench The **Crafting Bench** lets players craft a modifier into [[equipment]] or modify sockets and links at the cost of some [[currency]]. It can be found in the player's [[hideout]]. ## Mechanics Typically, only one crafted modifier may be added to an item; the crafted modifier is shown in a<span class="enchantMod"> brighter</span> color than <font color=#8888FF>regular </font> mods. Crafting a mod follows the normal affix rules. Specifically: - The item cannot already have a mod of that type. - The item must have a prefix or suffix slot open as appropriate. This means that a second prefix or suffix cannot be crafted onto a magic item, nor a fourth prefix or suffix onto a rare item. It is possible to craft more than one mod onto an item with the <span class="explicitMod">of Crafting</span> meta-crafting mod. Players can remove a crafted mod from an item with an [[Orb of Scouring]]. If the item already has a crafted mod, the recipe will automatically use a Orb of Scouring to add a different crafted mod. There are also recipes which modify the number of sockets, socket colors, or links on the item. Players may use socket recipes on corrupted equipment, which will require the same amount of [[Vaal Orb]] as the required currency. For convenience, the ingredients/currency needed to craft a mod onto a piece of equipment do not need to directly be in your inventory at the time. The Crafting Bench will fully track, and use, items in your [[Stash]] as well. ### Unlock locations Crafting recipes are discovered in various locations across multiple content. The type of location depends on which category of recipe it is, or in other words which master it belongs to. - Recipes are found in various locations in [[Wraeclast]] and [[Oriath]], as well as maps, which Helena will appraise. - Unveiling [Veiled](Veiled_modifier) items adds experience towards that recipe. - Socket crafting recipes can be found in the [[Azurite Mine]] at specific kinds of nodes.
