Omen of Homogenising Exaltation (Explaination/confirmation needed)
|
As of late, I’ve decided to dive into crafting and I stumbled upon the Omen of Homogenising Exaltation. First of all, the description is oddly vague:
"While this item is active in your inventory, your next Exalted Orb will add a Modifier of the same type as an existing Modifier on the item." Does this include both prefixes and suffixes, or does it only apply to the designated section, since it can be combined with other omens such as the Omen of Dextral Exaltation? Secondly, regarding modifier tags: Scenario 1: If the omen applies to either prefixes or suffixes depending on the other omen used in conjunction, then two prefixes with tags such as damage, physical, and attack should logically result in a third prefix that shares the same tags. Is this the case? Scenario 2: If the two prefixes each have three tags but only share two of them, then the third prefix should have at least two shared tags. If none are available, it should fall back to one. Can anyone clarify this for me? My online search hasn’t resulted in any useful information on the matter. ขุดครั้งสุดท้าย เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2025 10:11:32

It takes into account all tags from all affixes. It means that your new affix will have at least 1 matching tag from an existing affix. That's it.
So if you have fire/cold/damage/attack tags, you might end up with an affix that just has the cold tag. |

I don’t believe so. I recombined 2 crossbows and only had 2 affixes (prefixes): % increased damage and the hybrid % increased damage. Both have damage, physical, and attack tags. No other affixes besides those 2.
So, logically speaking, I should get any affix that shares these tags which is teh added physical attack. But when I used the Omen, I ended up with some random attack affix (prefix) that had elemental tag. The only conclusion I can draw is that the Omen only used 1 tag—in this case, “Attack.” I didn’t try again since I only had 1 Omen, but if this is really how it works, then it’s absolutely useless in my opinion. |

Fruitlord is right. Since u had multiple tags on the item, it was a random draw which tag the omen would use.
Would it have used the physical tag, then u would have gotten the only possible physical outcome. I'm not sure if it's weighted or pure RNG. I made the same mistake as u btw., thought I could force hybrid physical on my bow. It turned out it used the attack tag aswell and gave me lightning damage instead. There are cases tho where u can force exactly one outcome, especially with amulets people figured out some good combinations. Example on a chest, if u have 2 defense prefixes and u use the Omen with another sinistral omen to force a suffix, u can get guaranteed deflection or armor as elemental affixes.

Ah now i see it. You both are right. My bad. So, it is quiet limited. They shouldve done it the way i actually understood... cause like this, one might as well just try his luck out with slapping an Ex and be done!
Anyways, many thanks to you two ✌ |

just to clarify something:
the omen does not CHOOSE a tag and slams mods fitting it. afaik it just removes the possibility to slam any mod that has not atleast one of the tags present. this is testable on rings for example: flat cold damage has the tags damage, cold, elemental and attack. so if you slam 2 suffixes at once and it would "choose" the attack tag, youd have 0% chance to hit a leech mod and a second, non-leech mod. but in reality you can hit for example mana leech and cold res conclusion: - either the homogenizing omen treats the slams with greater exaltation as single events and can "choose" separatly OR - it just removes all tags that are not present and slams mods accoring to the pool id say second option is more likely btw: this omen in conjunction with the other crafting stuff is completely broken^^ |

Yeah, I have tested it on rings with only "#% increased Rarity of Items found" as a prefix and any "#% to Elemental Resistance". Since there are no other mods except for the resistance, I then got another. Not to mention, adding "% increased Rarity of Items found" as a suffix to make it rare — and it still has no tag.
I just find the whole concept kind of it restrictive and almost useless. Tags are chosen at random, and it only works with a maximum of one modifier to guarantee the outcome. |

" In that case, I'd say you are wrong, or perhaps don't appreciate how powerful this omen can be. Or in combination with other omens, like only add mods to prefix or suffix. In some cases, it means you can 100% guarantee which mods are added to an item. Ofc this depends on what mods (tags) are there to begin with, and it requires an overview of all this janky stuff, because there is precisely zero info about this in-game in a wholesome fashion. All we get is the actual tags when we use the inspect feature and happen to click on the right tiny button. But we have no idea what other mods are possible on an item, and what tags they have. I recommend to browse around on places like https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2 It can be kind of interesting, but also tricky. It felt overwhelming and confusing at first, but now I understand it better. There are just a lot of moving parts, and it's easy to make mistakes. Resistances can be tricky like that, because typically it's always a gamble. Because you can also roll reduce ignite/freeze etc types of ailments, because they share the "elemental" tag with resistances. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย Pangaearocks#3938 เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2025 17:13:28

I just get a attack tag from a glove with only defense tag left
I get a glove with armour and evasion increase %. I use the omen of homogenising with omen of prefix only and the only tag left for the homogenising give me was the armour and evasion flat and still give me a flat fire damage. No clues why. |

" My dear sir, thank you for your message, but I have to correct you. I use poe2db and I always research thoroughly before doing something—I don’t just blindly post things online. I asked because I couldn’t quite confirm the technical details behind it. To comment on your statement: for example, if you look at ring modifiers (see this link: https://poe2db.tw/us/Rings#ModifiersCalc ), you’ll notice that there are five modifiers with the "attack" tag on the Prefix side. This shows that the omen guarantees nothing when it comes to modifiers with multiple tags so, you basically have 1 in 5 chance since they all share 1 common tag. Yes, you are right - in some cases, such as single-tag modifiers, you are guaranteed to get the outcome you want. So, to sum up, my "personal" opinion is that this omen is “limited” in what it can actually do. Best regards |
