Vorici Calculator

What is the Vorici Calculator?

The Vorici Calculator is a tool for Path of Exile players to determine the most efficient way to craft socket colors on their gear. Named after Vorici, a former master craftsman in the game, this calculator helps players estimate the average cost of achieving specific socket color combinations.

Socket crafting in Path of Exile can be expensive and random, so having a calculator to estimate costs and probabilities helps players make informed decisions about their crafting strategy.

Understanding Socket Colors in Path of Exile

In Path of Exile, gear items can have up to six sockets, each with one of three colors:

• Red sockets are associated with Strength attributes and typically used for melee gems
• Green sockets are associated with Dexterity attributes and typically used for ranged and evasion gems
• Blue sockets are associated with Intelligence attributes and typically used for spell and energy shield gems
• White sockets are rare and can hold any color gem

The base item type influences the probability of rolling certain socket colors. For example, a pure Strength armor piece will naturally favor red sockets, while a pure Intelligence item will favor blue sockets.

Crafting Methods

There are several methods to modify sockets in Path of Exile:

• Using Chromatic Orbs to reroll all socket colors
• Using the Crafting Bench to force specific socket colors (at a higher cost)
• Using Harvest crafting options when available
• Using Vorici in the Syndicate to add white sockets
• Using Jeweller's Orbs and Orbs of Fusing for socket number and links

How to Use This Calculator

1. Select your item type and set the attribute requirements (STR, DEX, INT)
2. Specify the number of sockets of each color you need
3. Enable additional options like Vorici in Syndicate if relevant
4. Click "Calculate" to see the optimal crafting strategy
5. Review the detailed comparison of different methods

The calculator will show you whether it's more efficient to use Chromatic Orbs directly, use the Crafting Bench, or pursue other methods like Vorici in Syndicate.

Optimizing Your Crafting Strategy

The Vorici Calculator helps you determine whether it's more efficient to:

1. Spam Chromatic Orbs directly on the item
2. Use the Crafting Bench to force certain colors
3. Use a combination of methods for optimal results

The calculator takes into account the item's attribute requirements, which influence the probabilities of rolling specific colors, and provides you with the expected cost and optimal strategy.
