Be sure to Scour the box first before applying the quality currency, then craft the mods onto it afterwards. Engineer’s Orbs improve the Quality of strongboxes. Quantity increases can also be potent, especially in combination with the aforementioned mod. If you want to hold onto your Chaos, use Alterations instead, then Regal the box once you have the desired mods.įor most boxes, the Contains # Additional Items is the most desirable. Crafting with Chaos is more expensive, but will result in more mods on the box and better potential returns. Just like crafting an item, use a Transmute or an Alchemy on the box, then roll it until you have desirable mods. To craft a strongbox, we make use of the following items: Do not bother investing much into them, and certainly do not use Chaos Orbs if you intend to roll them. Cartographer’s Strongbox (if you need Maps – very valuable early in the league)Īrcanist’s boxes are only worth crafting in some instances, as their potential for large returns is not nearly as potent as a Diviner’s box.Below we have provided a list of boxes that can or could be considered for crafting, in order of desirability: Diviner’s Strongboxes are always worth crafting, due to their consistent and potentially lucrative returns. So which strongboxes should be crafted? The answer is a little variable, depending on a few factors such as your pace of play, your current wealth, your choice of league, and how early in the league it may be. Strongboxes also benefit from the Quantity bonus of an area, just like all loot in Path of Exile, making strongboxes found in Red Maps typically more rewarding and worthwhile to craft. As is the case with all Unique items, Unique Strongboxes cannot be modified. Most strongboxes are not worth modifying at all, as the chance for them to contain rewards is negligible, and crafting takes both time and currency. Should I Craft a Strongbox to Increase the Rewards? In the Oba’s Cursed Trove Map, for example, the player is always rewarded with five strongboxes upon completing the map, three of which are Unique and can only be found within the map. For example, not all of them contain monster guardians, and most are found at the end of the Map as reward for completing it. These are different because they do not obey the typical rules that govern strongboxes. There are additional “special” Unique strongboxes that only spawn in specific maps. There are currently over 10 different Unique strongboxes, though some are far more desirable than others. Large and Ornate Strongboxes are merely improved versions of the standard, unnamed strongbox, except that they have slightly raised base Quantity and Rarity, respectively. Their approximate chance to spawn is unknown, though based on anecdotal experience, they are extremely rare and usually only encountered once or twice in an entire league. Cartographer’s Strongboxes are no longer able to spawn in Maps T13 and above, to prevent great swings of map sustain early in the leagues, and were not included in this test for this reason. Essentially, the table below shows what the chance is for a strongbox to be of a certain kind if one does spawn in the area. The actual chance for any strongbox to appear in an area is unknown. Here is a table that illustrates all potential types of strongboxes, their rewards, and their chance to spawn (relative to each other). Most strongboxes provide little more than some extra quantity and monsters in the area you are farming, however, there are some specific types and strategies to take note of that can provide massive returns. Strongboxes do not need to be identified to be opened, however, they must be identified if you wish to modify the affixes on the box. This will also be discussed later in this guide, under the Crafting Strongboxes section. Just as they can be identified, the strongboxes can also be crafted using other currency as well. Strongboxes are Unidentified by default, and a Scroll of Wisdom is required in order to see what mods are on the box. There are several different types, which are listed in the section below. Strongboxes have rarities and affixes, just like an item or a map. Strongboxes spawn guardians when you interact with them, and defeating them will reward the player with the contents of the chest.
