Dota 2 Recipes: The Item Component Finder Tool for Dota 2

The Item Component Finder Tool

The Item Component Finder Tool answers two questions every Dota 2 player asks in the shop: what does this item build into, and what is that item made of? Put the parts you own on the anvil and see every item they turn into, sorted by how close you are. Axe used to buy random parts and wait. Nothing happened. Now he checks first.

1. Add the parts you have, up to six like your inventory. Two of the same count twice, some items need that.
2. Read the list: every item your parts go into, directly or later (“via Sange”), with the share of the price you already own and the gold to go.
3. Click an item for its full recipe tree: your parts in green, and a “still to buy” list with the exact gold. Search a final item like BKB to see what it is made of.

Axe explains

Dota 2 recipes in 10 seconds

1. 108items are built from other items.
2. 29of them need no recipe scroll.
3. 14items use Robe of the Magi, the busiest part.
4. 2,000gold for the priciest recipe: Boots of Travel.

Parts + paper = big item. Axe gets it.

What does each item build into? Every Dota 2 item and its components

Two items, which one? The Item Comparison puts their stats, actives and prices side by side.

Dota 2 components that go into the most items

Buy these parts when you are not sure yet: they keep the most doors open. Counted with every later upgrade, so Ogre Axe also counts what Sange turns into.

Axe buys Robe of the Magi first. Then Axe decides. Deciding is the hard part.

Dota 2 recipe costs: the most expensive recipe scrolls

A recipe is a scroll that does nothing on its own. It only glues the parts together. 79 items need one. The ten most expensive:

1Boots of Travel80% of its 2,500 gold2,0002Arcane Blink26% of its 6,800 gold1,7503Hand of Midas80% of its 2,200 gold1,7504Overwhelming Blink26% of its 6,800 gold1,7505Swift Blink26% of its 6,800 gold1,7506Refresher Orb32% of its 5,000 gold1,6007Manta Style33% of its 4,650 gold1,5508Black King Bar36% of its 4,050 gold1,4509Wind Waker21% of its 6,800 gold1,40010Holy Locket60% of its 2,250 gold1,340

How long does it take to farm all that? The Item Timing Calculator turns any build into minutes.

Dota 2 items without a recipe

These 29 items combine as soon as you have all the parts. No scroll, no extra gold:

Power Treads is special: it has 3 recipes. Boots of Speed and Gloves of Haste plus Belt of Strength, Robe of the Magi or Band of Elvenskin, whatever you have lying around. The Boots Comparison shows what Treads give next to every other pair.

Items that need two of the same part

For these, one copy of the part is not enough. Put both on the anvil in the tool, it counts them:

How item recipes work in Dota 2

• Parts combine by themselves. Once all parts of an item are together, they turn into the item. You do not click anything.
• You cannot find recipes in the shop list. Select the item you want, and its recipe scroll can be bought from there.
• A recipe alone is useless. It is paper. Buy the parts with stats first, the scroll last.
• The new item takes the slot of its most similar part. Magic Wand lands where your Magic Stick was, so your hotkey stays the same.
• Changed your mind? Most items can be disassembled only in the first 10 seconds after they combine. A disassembled item is locked from combining again until you right-click it. The Item Comparison shows which items you can split at any time.
