Path of Exile Hinekora's Lock Wiki & Tips

What Is Hinekora's Lock in Path of Exile?

Hinekora's Lock is a special currency item in Path of Exile that lets you preview what will happen when you use the next crafting currency on an item. This means you can see the result before actually changing the item, which helps you avoid wasting valuable crafting materials. You can’t use it on gems or corrupted items, and if you change the item in any way after previewing, the preview disappears. It’s like a magical "what if" tool for crafting your gear.

When to Use Hinekora's Lock in Path of Exile?

• Use Hinekora's Lock when crafting rare or unique items to avoid wasting expensive currency.

• It’s also helpful before using risky crafting methods, like Ancient Orbs or Harbinger Orbs, so you see the possible outcome first.

• If you need specific stats or sockets for your build, previewing with Hinekora's Lock makes sure the next craft will give what you want.

• When trying to make an item more valuable, it helps you decide if the next crafting step is worth it.
