orbs that turn a regular item into a magic item: carry them around with you and use them to upgrade strongboxes before you open them

orbs that turn a regular item into a rare item: use when you find a regular item with good gems

orbs that upgrade weapons/armor: these are pretty common, use them whenever you find something sweet that you expect to keep around for a lot of levels

orbs that reroll the color of sockets or the number of sockets/links: same as above but they're more rare and you need to know what combination of colors you're looking for. probably hold onto those until you're in the 60's or so and can use them to make something that'll get you through maps.

the weirder ones like regals/exalts/chaos/scouring are only really good if you are min/maxing late-game gear for doing maps and stuff. you need a ton of them and you need to know exactly what you're looking to build. otherwise just go onto poe.trade and use them to buy gear from people.

i never bothered with crafting so no idea there

as far as normal crafting goes, you unlock recipes after rescuing Helena in act 2 or by unveiling items with Jun starting in act 9. They all cost currency to have, and your item can only have one mod crafted on unless you have the (very expensive) multiple mods allowed thing crafted on. theres various tiers of these crafted mods and they cost different amounts of currency. This is probably where your chaos orbs will go because you'll have like a decent rare that is missing a slot so you'll slap a resist or life or something on their and the better ones cost a few chaos or a divine to slap on. But mostly I just hoard anything better than alchemy orbs to trade with, or exchange for more fusings etc. Theres more complicated poo poo like fossils from delve but idk how it works

gently caress yes dudes.
