Use this trick to get your off-colours more easily!

Remember kids, don't do the jeweler method on your 6 Link.

0:04 You got it right there..

The funniest part of this is that in the intro he skips over the colors he needs

I was actually looking this up last night and I couldn't find any videos on where specifically in the mine to find the recipes so thanks this was very helpful!

Love your short informational videos Ziz

Thought for sure you'd mention how easy it is with harvest colour crafting, making items have less off colours or converting two sockets to red and green etc. had great luck with this and the colour crafts are so common.

THANK YOU! short and to the point. Amazing work!

This was really useful. I played 2 seasons just buying items and I am hoping to get into crafting a bit this time.

Thank you SO MUCH for this!!!

Always check vorrici chromatic calculator aswell (mostly applies to 6s items). Nice tool to have on the side

Thanks for the trick Ziz, I had no idea on this and it's amazing!

Harvest is quite good for coloring sockets. I needed a 5 off-colour Astral Plate and I did it for 40 chaos with harvest (map device cost mostly).

Omg u showed this method several leagues ago which saved me a ton of chroms and then I forgot about it, thanks for the great video

Dude your intros are pure gold, love it :D

Much appreciated! Had a friend explain me that technique, but I didn't quite get it... But seeing it, it's actually pretty easy...

Ziz your videos have been invaluable to me and my friend who started just this week. Wish I would have seen this before I spent 300 chromas though!

I had no idea on the socket trick. Super neat.

You could also use harvest. One of the few useful crafts is coloring. "Turn a non-[color] into [color]". So you can turn a non-blue into a blue. It's how Ive been doing it but this is neat for small stuff

Ziz lighting one up on the thumbnail lol

your amazing thank you for all the work you do and given poe comunity all these videos

That into was the story of my life. Great info!

To color your 6-links just use the harvest recolor recipes a few times, they guarantee to turn 2 sockets of a color you *don't* want into two different ones. if necessary fill the rest with a level 4 vorici craft. Most of the time you'll hit enough white sockets to make it work at that point.

This is the 3rd informative video you've done where I needed to do something, and the NEXT VIDEO EXPLAINS IT HOW DO YOU DO IT

I use this all the time but I never know in each particular case which is the best if going with that approach or going with the color craft bench calculated with the Vorici Chromatic Calculator, for example I needed a 3 B 2 R 1 G Belly of the Beast, so the 3 B are off colour, I started with the jewellers approach and got the 3 B in sockets number 1 2 and 3 like you did then it didn't matter so I went ahead and did 2 more R then I needed 1 G but didn't have the recipe the 6 Os recipe is a bit hard, but then I saw that I could potentially only use 150 chromatic with the 1 blue recipe using 4 chromatic each try in the bench craft instead of 350 jewelers to try get a Green which could get me a red or even a blue and have to try again, so I end up getting 6 os with normal jewelers and then the off-colours with 1 B bench craft and got it really fast. It would be cool to know which of those approach is best in each case

If I have two white sockets on the first two will this also preserve them?

I didn't know you can craft for specific colors I wasted like 100+ trying to get 4 green on a armor chest plate lmao thank you for the guide!

I just started playing a week ago. I subscribed.

bit late to the party but as my first time playing ssf and needing a buttload of off color sockets this basically saved me, I just wish there was an easier way to learn about all the tricks like this cuz I'm sure there's a lot I still don't know haha

The amount of chromes i could have saved from doing this is ridiculous. Thx ziz

Wouldn't you want to make it 2 socket when you do 2x green craft so you don't get the one that will be "deleted" when you make it 2 sockets? Or will the 2 green always be the two first ones that stays the same when you do it?

thnx man, goood tip

I was just planning to hold out until I got the right harvest crafts before using my Shav's which requires 5 off colors... but had no idea that Catarina lets the vorici craft maybe change up to 6, that's crazy.

Liked for the intro alone 😂

Thank you, I am just about to start coloring my Wildwrap Strapped Leather red.

Can you use the same method with white sockets? or do they change into normal collors?

OMG another chapter in PoE`s rocket science, I'm slowly starting to feel increasingly overwhelmed as a beginner

Do i hear Last Epoch Music in the background? :)

Am I the only one who thought Ziz was hitting the worlds smallest roach in the thumbnail? 😆

I don't have but two things under the "other" column of this? How did you get the green option????

Do the socket color/socket number crafts eat up your crafted mod slot?

First 2 sockets then 2 green ziz :) Nice video

Nice HP you got there, Scissoring

at the moment u can use harvest for off-colours very easy too. i got 3 death oath full off colour and other stuff so far

thank you, im sure this will save me so many chromatics lol

I usually just use the 1-6 white socket syndicate craft when all else has failed

im new to the game and was wondering if someone could help me. why hasent zizaran fought the syndicate leader if they are ready to fight, is it to get more rewards? And how are you doing that

Been following your videos why is it my head gear has the same color order as another but not registering the effects but my other does

awesome. thank you.

Played this game for 1400hrs and i like it alot just wished they would make a colorblind mode were it just says R for red or S for strength inside the socket so i dont have to ask friends to chromatic all my items for me. It takes forever for me to see if i got the right colors i usually have gems that i pickup and see what sockets they fit into and its a really long process for every chromatic.

holy shet I used this the last league and forgot it and i'm with an great int shield stuck on my vault D: THNX ALOT for remembering me!

nice trick!

had a lot of luck with harvest this league, hit the 5 off-colour for my deaths oath in 3 crafts multiple times

i'm a new player and this is amazing!

Oooo nice I didn't even know that

I've used this method on league start to color Triad Grips all green and sell them at a markup

i totally gave up on POE but i really enjoy your videos! :D

this video just saved me from a 1200 chromatic waste :DDD

If I had seen this video yesterday I'd have saved 150 chrome orbs LOL

1:37 where is the 10% chance coming from? Is it fixed? I thought it is still as normally rolling colors and depends on attribute requirements.

What you can do for 6 socket stuff is use Harvest recipes. I only save those because it can get you 2 guaranteed offcolors and usually it's 2-3 you need offcolor.

omg ... that Syndicate Board

The only thing I ever have trouble coloring, are 6 links. Spent 2.5k on chromes yesterday just trying to roll 2b, 2g, 2r on a bow. I thought that was absolutely ridiculous. I kept alternating between the bench and just single chromes, and in the end, it was a single chrome that gave me the colors. In hind sight, I shouldn't have used the bench at all.

In Infinite Delve Event I got a pure-armour body armour with 4 blue 2 green just with chromes and 6 linked it. In that event we hadn't crafting bench. I consider that a win, no more special poe moments for me before or after that :)

Not even linking vorici calculator I wonder how it was when this method was discovered back in the days

@zizaran, harvest is way better for something like a an already 6L chest or weapon. The 2 guarantee colors craft with harvest are amazing and free!

I have well over 1000 hours playtime and I was not aware of this.

you actualy can get harvest crafts that allow you to change colors it is actualy a good way of getting these colors

One thing to note, your chance of getting an off-color socket is not a flat 10%. It actually scales with the stat requirements of the item. The higher the stat requirement on the item, the larger the weighting of the color associated with that stat. This means that an item like Death's Oath, with a high strength requirement, only has about a 7.5% chance each to roll a blue or green socket while an item with a lower strength requirement would have much closer to a 10% chance or even higher than a 10% chance.

Will this trick prevent me from getting one shotted on a super tanky char from things you cant see because theres a graphical diahrea on screen?

easiest and fastest way to get my GGGGRR on Astral Plate was through Harvest, the absolute way it uses to color your sockets is amazing and blazing fast, you can force 2 random sockets without randomizing the rest to become Green and Red or Green and Blue, and through some grind you can color an astral plate with only off colours.

Hey, can someone tell me why my workbench doesnt have my color reciept anymore?

It's pretty important to start by making the item 2 sockets, otherwise 2 green can roll the third socket and leave one of the first 2 non-green. It should be: Step 1) two socket Step 2) At least two X sockets Step 3) alternate between two socket and three socket, as in the video.

Commenting for additional info. There's the harvest thing, forgot the exact name... but it's like change the red socket to blue or green or something along those lines. Or you know, the other harvest like change color 10 times and get the most off-color out of the 10 times... or something like that.

Im sure other comments will point it but just in case. There is also harvest that allows for some good color options at lest this isnt fully dead !

Harvest add 2 offcolors on random sockets is also OP

I always just double corrupt my items for full white sockets

what class are you

Cool vid ziz, guys use vorici calculator on 5 - 6 link stuff

2:57 i think Vorici gives you 1, 1-2, 1-3 white sockets, its not like he always gives you 3 whenever he's 3rd rank

Usually I have a lot of chromes by the time I need them because my brain is used to picking up every rgb link. Same with superiors.

What's the best way to get 6 red on a Carcass Jack? 6 off color.

my first 6l was a 5 off colour inpulsa

yeah coloring stuff even with my simpler harvest craftrs was rough and yet yoloing 1 more "atleast 2 reds" one was so so damn lucky LUL on my 6 socket body that i didnt need 6L i managed to hit the perfect amount of off colors and orientations. was kinda wounderful. 3 red 2 blue 1 green on carcass jack in the perfect 4l 2l order. EZ game. also thanks for even more tips, its going to be nuts trying to upgrade my gear when i get around to it

Hey, nice, real, easy trick!

Have done Vorici at least 20 times so far as a T3 and only gotten 2W one time, the rest was single.

Question about Vorici: If i have a 6L Body Armour... And i put it into a rank3 Vorici... does it reforge the links as well or does it only randomly set 1-3 sockets to white? And also, can i repeat this process on the same chest piece until i possibly have all 6 white sockets? is this how people get 6 w sockets on a chest piece or are they just insanely lucky with rank 4 voricis/corruption chambers?

I tried this to color my 6L Inpulsa's just like in the video and now I have 6S 2G1R.

Is vorici calculator still valid?

that work for unique or is a wasted?

Ziz, shouldn't you have done 2 sockets -> 2 green sockets? The way you did it, if one of the greens ends up being in the last socket slot, you're pretty much bricked it...

You got it on the 3rd try! :D

Dude 200 hours into PoE and i am still learning from you. Great job

If you are a hipster, you can run heist and have so many chromatics you can burn them unnecessarily

Dont forget about the harvest crafts

How do I get a 5-link recipe? It sais a specific area in Delve but when I was in there, no recipe could be found. Is it even then RNG?

I always understand "TOMATO-league" if he says ultimatum-league. :D But the same with other streamers, not only Ziz.

Zizaran, can you please make a video about Betrayal 😁

Usually blow most of my jewellers trying to 6-link... (SSF woes) But it is a nice trick to keep in mind. I'm aware of it, but my mind usually just thinks "it's time to color this now so let's spam chromatic orbs because they're common" instead of actually thinking of the most efficient way.

Don't forget harvest, it might be more time consuming ..but it's a lot more deterministic. Especially safe for 6 links.
