what is poe synthesis
synthesis is the combination of components to create something new. it is the major expansion for path of exile 3.6 featuring unique progression, a new challenge league as well as new memory dungeons that offer some valuable rewards. mainly to help an npc named cavas recover his lost memories, then chain them together to reach valuable rewards, new boss fights and crafting opportunities. you'll first meet cavas in the coast, where he will open a portal to a fragmented memory.
what are fragmented memories
fragmentary memories are the areas cavas sends you. like any other area on the path of exile, they only decay over time. after entering a fragmented memory, you have to activate the first memory stabilizer to explore this area, but once you do, memory begins to fade. this is represented by the growing blue wave, which will collapse wherever it goes.
what is the poe memory nexus
memory nexus is the hub where much of the league’s game play takes place. here you’ll find four bridges, you hideouts (if you are in a guild, next to a guild hiding place) and a synthesiser in which you can use any fractured items you collect.
what are fractured items
fractured items are rare items which can be found in memory zones found in acts and maps and memories in the memory nexus. they have special influence on the art and have light-brown mods which unlike ordinary mods, cannot be altered. like most rare items, fractured items have random mods which may or may not be useful to your character. however, unlike other rare items, they have a secondary use - placing three identical types of fractured items (three helmets, or three one-handed maces, or three quivers) in the synthesiser can produce a synthesised item with special implicits.
what do you know about synthesis items
synthesized items have the item level at which the highest level of fractured items is created. the implicits on synthesised items are determined by the mods on the fractured items placed within the synthesiser -- but not necessarily the light-brown fractured mods. if you want super strong implicits, you may have to sacrifice items with high-level mods. there's random factor, so you may not always get what you want (however savvy players may find ways to change their odds to their advantage).
what are poe implicit mods
path of exile implicit mods properties are those that an item has because of its base, regardless of rarity. for example, a gold ring will always have an implicit extra % rarity of items found modifier.
how to understand poe synthesis stabilized memories
- stabilized memories often have mods which affect the area and monsters within like maps. they can also get new mods based on what you do with them in the memory void. you can use them to build a path to one of the many randomly generated features of memory void, such as reward memories, memory modifiers or memory amplifiers.
- stabilized memories also has a limited lifespan. ultimately, they will decay like the fragmented memories of the past. all fading memories will drop items in a safe place, so you don’t need to worry about picking up items in a hurry in a decaying memory. stabilized memories which aren’t decaying will not redrop items, so you have to pick them up yourself.
what can i do with stabilised memories
once you’ve collected a few stabilised memories, cavas will advise you to access memory connections. from here, you can use the stabilised memories you’ve collected to build paths through memory void. this is the essence of synthesis league gameplay.
tell me more about reward memories
reward memories (called distant memory in poe synthesis league) contains a platform with some kind of rewards on it, usually several chests. once you activate the memory stabilizer, all reward memories begin to fade. which means that you have limited time to find a reward platform, which is randomly placed somewhere in your memory.
how do poe synthesis chaos and holy spells work
poe synthesis introduced a number of new chaos-based spells. over time, spells can cause chaos damage to nearby targets. you can mix and match poe support gems according to your preferences and allow them to fire multiple projectiles, which is good for packs of mobs, or slow down, so that they can spend more time on a target.
hope this guide will fix all of your problems in poe synthesis. for more details please focus on poe wiki & database.
