A specific combination of vendor-reciped items in the Path of Exile game results in an item with the ‘Chromatic’ modifier. This modifier is highly valuable for its inherent property: it has an increased chance of having sockets of different colors linked together. An example would be trading a ring, a chromatic orb, and a gem with 20% quality to a vendor.
Acquiring items with multiple, differently colored linked sockets is crucial for building powerful character setups. The resulting equipment simplifies the often complex task of achieving the correct socket color combination required for specific skill gems and support gems. Its existence provides an accessible and deterministic method for players, especially early in a league, to acquire gear that significantly enhances their character’s damage output and survivability.
