1. Bandit respec recipe

For this Vendor Recipe, you should know that in the quest of “Deal with the Bandits” there exist three different bandit leaders (Boss Oak, Boss Kraityn, and Boss Alira). You can either side with one of them (that means you have to kill the other two) in order to get the respective reward or you also have the ability to kill all of them to get the reward from Eramir.

Moreover, you also can change your Bandit choice. In order to do this, all you have to do is use one of the following Vendor Recipe to get the Book of Reform for the bandit you want to help, then you need to use this. A confirmation window will pop up telling you of which rewards you will gain and which rewards you will lose. In order to figure out which band you helped you can use / passives or just talk to Eramir, and then the bandit you helped will turn up as a conversation option.

Result	Recipes	Notes
Book of Reform	20x Orb of Regret 1x Amber Amulet	Grants Oak's favour
Book of Reform	20x Orb of Regret 1x Jade Amulet	Grants Kraityn's favour
Book of Reform	20x Orb of Regret 1x Lapis Amulet	Grants Alira's favour
Book of Reform	20x Orb of Regret 1x Onyx Amulet	Grants Eramir's favour

Please Note: In fact, any Book of Reform might be vendored to reclaim the 20 Orbs of Regret used to make it. However, one thing that you should aware of is the amulet will be lost.

2. De-leveling skill gems with scourings

Another one to get Vendor Recipe is you need to de-leveling gems, and speaking of that, a lot of players might wonder why would some players need to downgrade a gem? Well, in fact, that happens a lot, for instance, the mana cost is too high in-game, using a quality gem you no longer use on a low-level character, wrong-clicked the upgrade on a cast when damage is taken, required attributes not met anymore, all of these might make the players want to de-level gems.

However, on the bright side, after players de-leveling skill gems, they can sell their items to any town vendor in exchange for a multitude of currency items and equipment just as I stated above.

Here is how to get Vendor Recipe by De-leveling skill gems:

Please Note: And for the Orb of Scouring you can just purchase from a vendor named Yeena, which can be found in The Forest Encampment in Act 2.

3. Flask tier upgrades

A flask in Path of Exile, giving a proper metaphor, is a chargeable potion. When you are using this item, the flask consumes a certain amount of flask charges and then recovers a portion of life, mana or grant temporary bonuses for the duration of the flask effect.

General introduction about Flask Vendor Recipe, from the progression of flask, you cannot obtain divine and eternal life and mana flasks.

According to the developers stated in the forum that the vendor recipe chain on life flasks and mana flasks was intended to stop with divine flasks. This, to some extent, seems to extend to buying them with sanctified ones. And so far, everything works just fine.

Here comes Vendor Recipes related to creating and upgrading flasks:

4. Increased physical damage% on any weapon

Just as you know, the following vendor recipe might affect those already existing items, usually adding or removing modifiers. Some recipes, they are specific to a certain rarity of target item: if the ingredients do not match the recipe, then players should consider using a currency orb firstly, such as the Orb of Transmutation to make this item into Magic rarity.

And here comes one of the examples to show you in order to help you get to know the Crafting Vendor Recipes better. Anyway, this vendor recipe is perfect for leveling or later crafting.

Result	Recipes	Notes

The rarity and ilevel of the Rustic Sash determines the % roll: magic the "Heavy" mod (40-49%) and rare the "Serrated" mod (50-64%). Preserves sockets.

5. Increased spell damage% either daggers, scepters, wands or staff

This crafting Vendor Recipe shares the same introduction from the fourth one. Therefore, we will not make a repetition in here.

Here is another method to get Crafting Vendor Recipe in Path of Exile, check and follow the following steps.

6. Map tier upgrades

In Path of Exile, maps are the main type of endgame content. By placing them in a map device, you will notice that maps can be consumed to build a randomized instance in which monsters can be fought. Just like equipment, they usually come in normal, magic, rare and unique rarities, what's more, they have their own special affixes which make them even more difficult, but, at the same time, also increases their potential rewards.

For the Map upgrades:

If a player has three maps of the very same type, then these maps might be sold to a vendor to receive one map in exchange. And this newly acquired map is of a map base one tier much higher in the same region. Which map you get seems to be seeded by map, and different combinations of the same map could result in a different resulting map.

The following image introduces how to get Vendor Recipe by using map tier upgrades.

Result	Recipes	Notes
1x Map, higher tier map within the Atlas region	3x Map, all must be of the same type (e.g. Orchard Map	The rarity of resulting map will depend on the lowest rarity among the initial maps. Different combinations of maps while selling can lead to a different map in return.
1x Map of current Map Series equivalent	1x Map from old Map Series

7. Map + hammer for Cartographers Chisels (and chance orbing)

Now we have come to the Quality Items Vendor Recipes, as you know, these Vendor Recipes produce currency items that improve the quality of their category of items. If you want to produce one then that requires one of the following:

1. A single normal item (not magic, rare or some other items like that) of that category with 20% quality.

2. Items of that category with a total of at least 40% quality (that suitable for all rarities).

3. When done for multiple instances of the recipe at once, you have to keep in mind that each individual combination must add up to 40%. For instance, 18, 14, 13, 11, 15, 9 would add up to 80, but would not actually grant 2 of the resulting quality items, only 1 because the individual combinations do not add up to 40 each.

Now, take a look at Vendor Recipe made by Cartographer's Chisel + Map

9. Quality skill gems for Gemcutter Prisms

Well, about this one, you should know that a Gemcutter's Prism (usually we abbreviated it as GCP), in fact, is a currency item that can be used to improve the quality of a gem in Path of Exile. Moreover, each Gemcutter's Prism will always raise the quality by 1%.

Any player can sell a gem with 20% quality to any vendor just for a Gemcutter's Prism, or players can also sell any number of gems whose total quality is at least 40% to any vendor for a Gemcutter's Prism.

Vaal skills in Path of Exile are granted by Vaal skill gems, which is a special type of corrupt skill gem that grants an alternative version of the skill with those powerful added effects fueled by the souls of slain enemies, as well as the regular version of the skill.

Generally, you can loot Vaal skill gems from those corrupted areas, some certain strongboxes, and bosses of corrupted maps. Moreover, it is also possible to create a Vaal skill gem by using a Vaal Orb on a corresponding normal skill gem (for instance, using a Vaal Orb on Spectral Throw has an opportunity of turning it into Vaal Spectral Throw).

Apart from the above method, another method to get the Crafting Material Vaal Orb is using the Vendor Recipe in Path of Exile. Here is the requirement of this Recipe needs.
