The same ideas apply in Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2 unless a step says otherwise.
What Lochtonial Glasp is for
Crafting in Path of Exile is a set of targeted gambles. Some methods force a mod family. Others reroll widely and only make sense when the base is cheap. Lochtonial Glasp sits in that toolbox for a specific job. Use it when that job matches your item, not because the currency is sitting in the stash.
When to use it
- The base already has the right item level and influence if needed.
- You can afford failure without emptying your mapping profits.
- A bench craft or essence cannot solve the same problem more cheaply.
- You know whether you are finishing prefixes, suffixes or both.
When to stop
If the item needs one missing resist and you already burned a stack with nothing to show, stop and buy a replacement. Crafting ego is how softcore players recreate hardcore economies in their own stash.
Related habits
Keep a dump tab for bases worth crafting later. Price check similar finished items before you invest. For league start, prefer essences and bench crafts until trade prices settle.
