Path of Exile 2 crafting

“Why can’t I craft Temporal Chains” is usually a gem or a recipe restriction, not a broken currency orb. Temporal Chains is a curse skill gem on its own card. If the craft bench or the currency says the target is invalid, the item’s tags do not match that currency. I do not have a full bench-mod list, so I am not guessing which orb fixes a specific rare.

Quality that “does not go up” is often a cap or the wrong currency for that slot. The wiki page is the list to check before you spend a stack.

Absent Amulet shows up in craft searches and also as a unique row. I keep the item on the unique table and the simulator on tools.
