Crafting steps:

1. Visit Path of Exile Trade, and look for the item base (eg: Whisper-woven CloakWhisper-woven CloakRequires 5 in Any job5% reduced raising of Alert LevelCan only be equipped to Heist members.) with the item level 83 (under the Miscellaneous tab).
2. Purchase the base, it should cost a few Chaos Orbs at most; Purchase at least 2-5 bases for crafting
3. Use an Orb of ScouringOrb of ScouringStack Size: 30Removes all modifiers from an itemRight click this item then left click on a magic or rare item to apply it. to reset the mods on the item
4. Use an Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. to craft the item
