The Keepers of the Flame challenge league has entered its second week in Path of Exile, with players now focusing on completing specific achievements. Vendor recipes form a crucial component of league progression, and mastering these early challenges sets the foundation for advanced crafting later in the season. The Peddler’s Produce I represents your introduction to Path of Exile’s sophisticated bartering system.
Successfully completing this challenge requires executing four distinct vendor recipes: Armourer’s Scrap for armor improvement, Blacksmith’s Whetstone for weapon enhancement, Glassblower’s Bauble for flask quality, and Gemcutter’s Prism for gem upgrades. Each recipe involves selling specific item combinations to any town vendor NPC in exchange for these valuable crafting currencies.
The Blacksmith’s Whetstone recipe stands as the most straightforward among the four requirements. Simply vend any white (normal) weapon displaying exactly 20% quality to instantly receive your Whetstone. This quality-based exchange system rewards careful item inspection before selling.
Acquiring the necessary white weapon proves remarkably simple through multiple approaches. Purchase directly from any town vendor’s inventory, where white bases consistently appear at minimal cost. Alternatively, farm normal difficulty areas where white weapons drop frequently, though vendor purchase guarantees immediate access without RNG dependency.

Pro Tip: Always check weapon quality before vendoring—accidentally selling a 20% quality rare weapon wastes significant currency potential. For optimal weapon enhancement strategies, consider stockpiling multiple white bases during early mapping.
Armourer’s Scrap follows identical mechanics to the Whetstone recipe but applies exclusively to armor pieces. Vend any white body armor, helmet, gloves, or boots showing precisely 20% quality to obtain your Scrap. This symmetry in recipe design helps players quickly grasp Path of Exile’s vendor logic.

Advanced Strategy: Target armor types aligned with your build requirements—this dual-purpose approach advances your challenge while stocking useful bases. Unlike weapons, armor pieces often have more predictable vendor inventories, making specific slot targeting more reliable.
Common mistakes include vendoring magic or rare 20% quality items, which yield different results entirely. Always verify item rarity before attempting challenge recipes to avoid wasted effort.
Glassblower’s Bauble introduces increased complexity with flexible completion options. The primary method requires a white flask at exactly 20% quality, similar to previous recipes. However, the secondary approach allows combining multiple flasks whose quality percentages sum to 40% or higher.

Optimization Technique: When using the combination method, prioritize common utility flasks like Quicksilver or Basalt that maintain usefulness regardless of quality. This ensures no valuable crafting bases are wasted on challenge completion.
Flask quality farming proves more challenging than weapons or armor. Focus areas with increased flask drop rates or utilize the Orb of Transmutation on normal flasks to potentially roll quality modifiers.
Gemcutter’s Prism mirrors the Bauble’s dual-approach system with gem-specific requirements. Either vend a single skill gem or support gem at exactly 20% quality, or combine multiple gems whose quality values total 40% or more. This flexibility accommodates various playstyles and progression speeds.

Efficiency Tip: Quality gems accumulate naturally through gameplay—avoid using Gemcutter’s Prisms to quality gems specifically for this challenge. The opportunity cost typically outweighs the challenge reward value.
For rapid completion, target commonly dropped skills like Molten Strike or Cleave that frequently appear with quality rolls. The class selection guide offers insights into which gems align with specific playstyles.
Upon completing Peddler’s Produce I, you’ll encounter the significantly more complex Peddler’s Produce II challenge. This advanced tier introduces currency recipes including Cartographer’s Chisels, Chaos Orbs, Regal Orbs, and Exalted Shards—each requiring sophisticated item combinations and deeper game knowledge.
Time Management: Allocate approximately 15-30 minutes for Peddler’s Produce I completion, depending on your existing inventory and knowledge of vendor locations.
The challenge system in Keepers of the Flame progressively introduces mechanics, making early mastery essential for efficient late-game progression. Understanding these foundational recipes prepares you for Path of Exile’s more advanced crafting systems.
