Experimental. Expect bugs, the odd wrong number and wrong crafting methods. If something looks off, report it from the targets or the plan.

How the Craft Engine works
How to use it
Paste your item, copied in game with Ctrl+C.
Tick the mods you want on the finished item, and add any it doesn’t have yet.
The engine returns a step-by-step plan with what each step costs and how often it lands.
Rate the plan. Ratings decide which plans get served to the next player with the same craft.
What it does
Reading the item. Every mod is matched to the ways it can be obtained on this base: natural rolls, essences, bench crafts, influence and veiled mods.
Making the plan. The engine works out a crafting route from your targets, the essences and crafts the base allows, and current currency prices. It reuses a stored recipe when one fits the same craft.
Community checks. Plans that get good ratings are kept and served to players with the same craft. Your rating shapes what everyone gets.
Limits
Only simple crafts give reliable plans for now.
Metacrafts, influence and Harvest routes are still rough and improve over time.
Always sanity-check a plan before you spend currency on it.
About the Craft Engine
Paste a Path of Exile item and pick the mods you want. The Craft Engine returns a step-by-step crafting plan with costs, odds, the decisions you will face and a trade link for the base. It works out a realistic route to the item instead of leaving you to guess.
Can I get a plan from a screenshot?
Yes, once you sign in. Drop a screenshot of the in-game tooltip, check the text read from it, and the plan is made from that. Reading a screenshot is free and doesn’t use a plan.
Does it show more than one way to craft?
Yes. Up to three hand-checked recipes for the same craft sit beside the plan under Other methods. A common case is a metacraft done at the bench or with a beast: the beast is often far cheaper but depends on what is for sale.
Is crafting cheaper than buying?
Often, yes. For many rare items the inputs cost less than a finished copy on trade, which is the reason to plan the craft before you start. Every plan has a “Buy it finished instead” link to compare.
