What it does
CraftBot runs crafting projects. You build the project once — a list of steps, each with conditions that decide what happens next — and it applies the currency, reads the item after every step, and follows the branches you wrote. It also simulates the whole project before you spend anything.
Both games
A Path of Exile 1 / Path of Exile 2 selector in the window banner switches the action catalog, the currency tiers and the mod pool to the game you picked.
Build once, run many
Projects are .craft files. Load one, scope an item from your inventory, press ▶ Start. It stops when a condition says end, or when a step says wait for you.
Simulates first
▶ Run Sim executes the whole project hundreds of times against the scoped item without touching a real one, and tells you how often it finishes and what it costs — per run and per finished item. How Run Sim works.
How projects work
A project is a list of steps. A step has an action, a maximum repeat count, and a list of conditions. Every step runs the same way:
1
Apply the action
One currency, fossil set, bench craft, Harvest craft or essence — whatever the step's Action is. An Info step applies nothing.
2
Read the item
The item's mods, tiers and values are re-read after the action, and its totals recomputed.
3
Check the conditions, in order
The first condition that matches decides. Order is the if / else-if order, and it is printed on each condition card so you can see it.
4
Branch
Then / Else actions: End craft, Wait for user (with a stored resume action), Repeat step, Next step, Go to step. If no condition matches, the step's Else action decides. Repeat stops at Max repeats.
Step fields
Name, Action, Max repeats, a multi-line Info text for your own notes, and an Echo line written to the output log when the step runs — so the log reads in your words.
Condition cards
Inline and reorderable. Drag one above another and the evaluation order changes with it.
The Aug+Annul template
Expands into real primitive steps — Augment, check, Annul, check, go back — with the right conditions and gotos already written. Then edit it like any other project.
Calculated chance
Turn on Show calculated chance on conditions and each condition card shows the probability of being satisfied, from real pool weights, honouring your tier, value and affix limits.
What it can apply
The Action dropdown, by game. This is the complete list; if a craft is not here, CraftBot does not do it.

Custom… for bench and Harvest
Bench Craft and Harvest Craft each have a Custom… option with a free-text field, so a craft the list does not have can be typed in and run. Run Sim will tell you if it cannot model what you typed.
The Info step
Evaluates conditions without issuing a task. Use it as a decision point — “do we already have both mods? end; otherwise go to step 5” — without spending anything to find out.
Conditions & the mod model
What a condition can test, and how precisely a mod in a list can be pinned down.
| Condition | Tests |
|---|---|
| Contains mods | The item has the listed mods, matched with AND or OR across the list. |
| Does not contain mods | The listed mods are absent. |
| Count from list | How many of the listed mods are present, within a range. |
| Mod count | Total explicit mods, within a range. |
| Prefix count / Suffix count | Within a range. |
| Rarity | Normal, magic, rare or unique. |
| Totals — seven of them Total DPS · Elemental DPS · Physical DPS · Attacks per Second · Armour · Evasion · Energy Shield | Each compared against a number. Calculated the way the item tooltip calculates them: base rolls, quality, flat and increased mods and hybrids convolved, rounded as the game rounds. A project that targets “total energy shield at least 575” behaves the way you expect on a quality base. |
A mod in a list is not just text
Exact id, or the family
Pin a mod to an exact modifier id, or to a whole family with a trailing * — every tier of “+# to maximum Life” at once.
Tier range
Minimum and maximum tier. “T1–T2 only” is one field, not a list of ids.
Up to four value ranges
One per rolled number in the mod, so a hybrid or a two-value mod can be pinned on each roll separately.
Prefix, suffix, either
Where it must sit. Matters for bench locks and for counting what is left open.
Fractured
Require that the mod is fractured — the natural check after a Fracturing Orb step.
Elevated
Require the elevated version of an influence mod.
Run Sim
▶ Run Sim executes your whole project hundreds of times against the item you have scoped, without touching a real item or spending real currency. Every step, every condition, every branch. It generates real items with real mods at every stage. Load a project, scope an item, press the button.

Outcomes
How often the project finishes, stalls, or runs out of repeats, with average and median actions per run. Cancellable, with progress while it runs.
Currency ledger
Average spend per run and per finished item, itemised by every orb, essence, fossil and bench craft the project used. The second number is the one to compare against the trade price.
Results viewer
Every generated item, run by run, with its exact mods and tiers and what that run cost. Filter to finished items only. Results reopens the last report.
It does not produce a number it cannot stand behind.
If the project contains a step the simulator cannot model, Run Sim stops before it starts and names every blocker —
Step 5 · Bench Craft · Custom… “Remove a random modifier” — not in the model.
It does not guess around it. Where a result rests on an assumption — a community constant, a bench price that moves with the league — the results say so.
That refusal is the reason a number from this tool can be trusted.
How accurate is the simulation?
It models the mechanics, not an approximation of them. The mod pool comes from the game itself, so the weights and tiers are the real ones rather than a copy of a website.
Bench metamods
Prefix and suffix locks consuming themselves on a reroll, the caster and attack exclusions, and up to three crafted modifiers with real combinations — including the refusal when both locks are asked for at once.
The Harvest reforge family
The full set, with each “including a modifier of type” guarantee modelled exactly.
Fossils
Real tag weighting — boosted, blocked and combined — plus the Faceted, Hollow, Glyphic and Sanctified specials, including Sanctified's lucky rolls.
Influence
Shaper, Elder, Crusader, Hunter, Redeemer and Warlord mods roll with their real tiers on influenced items and never appear on plain ones.
Fracturing
A fractured mod survives every later reroll, so fracture-then-spam strategies simulate correctly.
Essences, both games
Every guaranteed mod for every item class, available from the moment you connect with no setup.
Quality in the totals
Quality is included in the totals maths, so an 11% quality base does simulate cheaper to finish than a 0% one, by the margin the numbers say it should.
Checked before release
The mechanics above were validated against hundreds of thousands of simulated crafts before release. What it will not do is guess: a step the model does not cover stops Run Sim before it starts, with the blocker named.
The Mods tab
How likely is a mod on this item? The Mods tab searches the mod pool for the item you have scoped and prices every row against it.

Add Mod — greyed out until a condition card is selected
Incremental finder
Type part of a mod name. A count of matches narrows as you type until the list itself appears, weight-ranked, with the most common mods first.
Weight and roll chance, for your item
Each row shows the mod's weight and its roll chance on the scoped item. Open a row and you get one line per tier with the item level that tier needs and the values it rolls.
Ineligible, with the reason
Mods that cannot appear on your item are shown with why — wrong item class, missing influence, item level too low — rather than silently left out.
Add Mod
Adds the configured mod — tier range, values, affix — straight to the selected condition card. Greyed out when nothing is selected.
Show calculated chance on conditions
A Settings switch. Each condition in your project then displays the chance of it being satisfied, priced from the same weights, with your tier, value and prefix or suffix limits taken into account.
Path of Exile 2 weights
The Path of Exile 2 client ships no real spawn weights. A community weights file loads on every pool sync, so a file dropped in mid-session applies immediately — and results that rest on it are labelled as such.
The window
Three planes — Steps, Step Editor, Info Plane — resizable with draggable splitters, under one banner that holds the game selector, the project bar and the run controls.

What it does not do
- It applies what is in the Action dropdown and nothing else. The lists under What it can apply are complete. Bench Craft and Harvest Craft have a
Custom…free-text row; anything typed there that the model does not cover stops Run Sim before it starts. - It does not guess. A step outside the model is a named blocker, not an estimate. Results that rest on an assumption — a community constant, a league-dependent bench price — are labelled.
- Path of Exile 2 weights are community-supplied. The Path of Exile 2 client ships no real spawn weights; a community file loads on every pool sync. Path of Exile 1 weights come from the game itself.
- There is no browser version. CraftBot is the Crafting window inside FollowApp, on Windows.
- There is no in-app sharing. A project is a
.craftfile on your disk; to give someone a project, give them the file. - It is one instance, monthly only. CraftBot on its own is one concurrent instance, $20 a month. It pools on the same key as any FollowBot plan you hold, and like every other plan it brings one External Overlay instance with it. The 1-day free trial is FollowBot and does not include it.
Questions
How do I find out how likely a mod is?
The Mods tab searches the mod pool for the item you have scoped. Type part of a mod name; a count of matches narrows as you type until the list itself appears, with the most common mods first. Each row shows the mod's weight and its roll chance on your item. Open a row and you get one line per tier with the item level that tier needs and the values it rolls. Mods that cannot appear on your item are shown with the reason.
You can also turn on Show calculated chance on conditions in the Settings tab. Each condition in your project then displays the chance of it being satisfied, priced from the same weights, with your tier, value and prefix or suffix limits taken into account.
Does it work on Path of Exile 2?
Yes. The window has a Path of Exile 1 / Path of Exile 2 selector that switches the action catalog, the currency tiers and the mod pool. The Path of Exile 2 actions are the Greater and Perfect tiers of Transmute, Augment, Regal, Chaos and Exalt, and Desecrate in four tiers, on top of the actions both games share.
Path of Exile 2 spawn weights are community-supplied, because the client ships none. Path of Exile 2 also changes substantially between patches; check the changelog for the current state before you buy.
Is CraftBot a separate download?
No. One download, one application. FollowBot, AutoBot and CraftBot are the same executable; your subscription decides which will load. CraftBot is the Crafting button in the FollowApp window. If the button is greyed out or refuses to load, it is not on your subscription — it is not a broken download.
Run Sim refused to start. Is something broken?
No — it is doing its job. If the project contains a step the simulator cannot model, Run Sim stops before it starts and names every blocker, usually a Custom… bench or Harvest craft it does not recognise. Fix or remove the step and run it again. It does not produce a number it cannot stand behind, which is the reason a number from it can be trusted.
Can I stop it mid-craft and take over?
Yes, two ways. Write it into the project: a condition's Then action can be Wait for user, with a stored resume action, and the window shows a waiting-for-user alert when it hits one. Or use the run controls: Pause and Resume at any point, ■ Stop to end, and ▶ Step to start again from whichever step you select.
What is the difference between CraftBot and AutoBot?
AutoBot runs maps unattended, in Path of Exile only. CraftBot runs crafting projects against an item in your inventory, in both games, and simulates them first. Both are in the same FollowApp window — AutoBot as the Autobot checkbox, CraftBot as the Crafting button. There are two ways to buy them: CraftBot on its own for $20 a month, or the $30-a-month AutoBot plan, which includes CraftBot as well. What AutoBot does.
CraftBot, $20 a month on its own. One instance, monthly only — or $30 with AutoBot.
