Crafting benches and vendors
Crafting benches are interactable objects that provide a variety of different crafting options, and may offer exclusive effects or a greater degree of control with crafting.
- Crafting Bench - unlocked in the player's hideout as soon as Act 2, it can apply crafted modifiers to an item, deterministically modify an item's sockets, or apply meta-crafting modifiers, such as Suffixes Cannot Be Changed or Cannot roll Attack Modifiers for more advanced crafting methods. Most crafts in the crafting bench are unlocked by finding crafting recipes in the campaign or in maps.
- Veiled modifiers - special craftable modifiers can be unlocked by unveiling veiled items found from Betrayal encounters. The Catarina boss encounter also is the only method to unlock crafted modifiers for flasks.
- Vendor recipes - specific vendor recipes can be used to obtain specific items or guarantee certain modifiers on items.
- Map Device - unlocked in the Epilogue, the Map Device allows players to apply map crafting options when opening maps to guarantee certain encounters, as well as apply Exarch or Eater influence to or have the Maven witness a map.
- Certain scarabs also interact with map crafting options, such as

- Beastcrafting - sacrifices specific types of Beasts from Bestiary encounters for various crafting methods, including guaranteed flask suffixes that grant immunity to ailments, access to Aspect reservation skills, and a deterministic method of adding 6-sockets or 6-links to an item by sacrificing a Black Mórrigan.
- Betrayal crafting benches - some Betrayal members may offer crafting benches as a reward in safehouses which can modify sockets several times, add experience to gems, or provide a time-limited opportunity to craft a normal item with a fixed pool of currency.
- Harvest crafting - spends Lifeforce obtained from Harvest for various crafting methods, many of which guarantee a random modifier matching a specific tag. It can also change stacks of currencies or fragments into different types, swap elemental resistance modifiers between different elements, or add certain enchantments to weapons and body armour.

The following crafting methods are exclusive to the current temporary league:

- Recombinator (Kingsmarch) - combines two items to create a new item inheriting modifiers from each item, similar to the currency originally from Sentinel league.
Historical crafting methods
The following crafting methods are no longer accessible due to being removed from or reworked in the core game with significant changes.
- Prophecies were a mechanic that was once usable to upgrade certain unique items into Fated Uniques by defeating a designated monster. However, Prophecies were removed in version 3.17.0, and most Fated Uniques became drop-disabled and are unobtainable in temporary leagues.
- Harvest crafting was changed multiple times over several leagues; it was initially a crafting bench found inside the Sacred Grove itself, and offered significantly more powerful crafting methods including the ability to add or remove modifiers matching specific modifier tags and adding a Harvest implicit mod to jewels. Crafts were tied to specific harvest monsters and had fixed uses instead of generically consuming Lifeforce.

added 30 quality to a strongbox and added certain rewards based on the strongbox type. Lures could be obtained by sacrificing items with Aspect skills or Bestiary uniques, and were more powerful versions of a Bestiary Scarab which guaranteed Beasts of a specific family.

- The Divine Font prior to version 3.23.0 instead granted the ability to add enchantments to gloves, boots, helmet, and belts. On gloves, it would grant exclusive triggered skills. On boots, it would grant conditional modifiers affecting player stats. On helmets, it would grant stats that enhanced skills from gems in various ways. On belts, it would grant a conditional modifier if a certain buff effect is active.

- Recombinators (as a currency) were significantly more powerful before their reintroduction/overhaul in version 3.25.0, allowing a greater degree of control in modifiers retained by the resulting item, and allowed combinations of modifiers that could not normally be obtained, including multiple fractured modifiers or items with more than one Incursion or Delve exclusive modifier.
- The Necropolis, exclusive to Necropolis league, allowed the creation of items with a high degree of control over modifier weights by burying corpses of monsters with special modifiers. This crafting method also was the only method to obtain items that were both fractured and influenced. It did not go core after the end of the league.
