Calculate the cheapest way to get specific socket colors on your gear.

General Engine

We are using the general calculation engine for Vorici Chromatic Calculator.

Socket Colors and Attributes

In Path of Exile, socket colors are biased by the item's attribute requirements. Strength armor favors Red, Dexterity favors Green, and Intelligence favors Blue. Getting 'off-colors' (e.g., Blue sockets on a Strength chest) is statistically difficult.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter the attribute requirements (Str/Dex/Int) of the item (unmodified by quality or reduced requirements).
  2. Enter the total number of sockets.
  3. Enter your desired color combination.
  4. The calculator determines if you should spam Chromatic Orbs or use the Crafting Bench recipes.

PoE Crafting FAQs

What is the Jeweller method?

For off-coloring sockets on a crafting bench, you can sometimes save currency by forcing socket counts (2 sockets -> 3 sockets) rather than rolling colors directly.
