PoE Tier 3 Incursion Crafting Bench

Tier 3 Incursion Crafting Bench

League mechanics: Incursion. Maximum tier – All incursion rooms have a maximum of tier 3. Once a room reaches tier 3, that room will no longer be selectable in future incursions. This will improve the chances to select a favourable room.

Incursion rooms are small zones that can be explored in temporal incursions. After 12 incursions, the rooms are combined into one large dungeon, the Temple of Atzoatl.

Architects

Vaal Architects (or just Architects) guide the construction of the Temple.

Each Architect has a set of three possible incursion rooms they can be a resident of: a "tier 1", "tier 2", and "tier 3" room, with tier 3 being the most powerful. An Architect can only be a resident of a single room, and a resident Architect will never appear in any other room.

Each incursion room is occupied by two Architects. Killing either one allows the other to flee, and later either change the room to their liking after the incursion is complete, or upgrade it through continued development.

Architects that are killed cannot be encountered again for the entirety of that temple.

Tiered incursion rooms

These are incursion rooms that contain a resident Architect.

The Temple layout will never contain more than one incursion room with the same Architect.

During an incursion, tiered incursion rooms are occupied by two Architects: the resident Architect, and a random non-resident Architect that is not the resident of another room.

• If you kill the resident Architect, the surviving architect will become the Resident and change it into their T1 room.
• If you kill the non-resident Architect, the room will be upgraded into the Resident’s next tier room (up to T3).
• If you do not kill either architect, the room will remain unchanged.

During the present-day Temple run, tiered incursion rooms are defended by the resident Architect, and may have modifiers that affect the room or the entire Temple.

In Path of Exile, there are no specific "tier 3 Incursion crafting benches." Incursions themselves don't have tiers, and the crafting benches found within the Temple of Atzoatl are all unique, offering different crafting options depending on the room type.

Here's a breakdown of the crafting benches you can encounter in the Temple of Atzoatl:

Alva's Intervention: This bench allows you to add Vaal orbs to an item, granting a random implicit modifier. The specific implicit depends on the item type.

Gemcutter's Workshop: This bench lets you modify the quality of a skill gem or change its attribute requirements.

Vaal Orb Altar: Similar to Alva's Intervention, this bench allows you to apply a Vaal orb to an item, but it also offers the option to "corrupt" the item for a chance at powerful but potentially negative modifiers.

Vessel of the Pantheon: This bench lets you imbue an item with a Pantheon power, granting access to specific boons and abilities.

Locus of Corruption: This bench allows you to "brick" an item, permanently destroying it but potentially granting a new, powerful corruption modifier.

Bone Carver's Bench: This bench lets you modify the sockets and links of an item, as well as add white sockets or anoint the item with a unique passive skill.

Beyond Realm: This unique room doesn't have a crafting bench but instead allows you to access a special Beyond portal, leading to a challenging Beyond encounter with the potential for valuable rewards.

Remember, the Temple of Atzoatl is randomly generated, so you won't always find all of these benches during an Incursion. The specific layout and benches available will vary each time you enter the temple.

I hope this clarifies the situation regarding Incursion crafting benches.
