AXE CRAFTING! HUGE SHOUTOUT TO CARN FOR THE HELP CHECK HIM OUT HERE: https://www.twitch.tv/carn_ GOOD BASES : Ezomyte Axe, Despot Axe I recommend crafting on Ezomyte and Despot Axe early as they have lot better base attack speed and will feel good even without any attack speed rolled on them. The item levels you are looking for : T3 : 73+ T2 : 77+ T1 : 83+ Make sure your filter differentiates between these item levels, it is important to have a decent amount of axes to craft on. -= Entering Maps =- Your first Axe is very straight forward, we'll craft on an Ezomyte Axe since it's the first tier 1 base you will be able to find at lvl 62. Your options are : - Use an Essence of Contempt and craft %physical damage if there's an open prefix, craft attack speed if it already hit %phys. - Just alch it and if it has decent mods, crat %phys or speed and go with it - If you have a Regal orb, alteration spam until you hit a decent flat phys roll, then regal and craft phys. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF ALTERATIONS, average of 40 to hit something good. You do not need a very good axe at all to start mapping so don't worry too much about your first axe, just pick whichever option works at the time -= Mid Tier Axe =- Once you start mapping Contempt essences should help you get a mid tier weapon pretty quickly. Use Contempts on the base of your choice until you get something good It's very simple, big physical number = good. Just make sure you press alt to check if there is a free prefix to craft %phys or free suffix to craft attack speed. Also use all your Screaming Essences of Contempt as well as any Zeal Essence on your weapons to get your mid tier Axe. If you have Regals and Granite Flasks you can also alteration spam and use the recipe (Weapon with flat phys + Granite flask + 1 Orb of Augmentation). It will give you a magic Axe with a higher tier of flat phys which can go up to Tempered (T2 flat phys), next steps are : - Aug + Regal - Aisling slam (Aisling lvl 3 on research safehouse -> kill catarina) to try to hit Phys prefix - Craft attack speed This axe will be good enough for a long time. -= Late game Axe =- Now once you get a decent mid tier axe which should be the type of axe I have listed in the basic gear set, you can work on a bigger one. There are 4 stats you want to be rolled decently : %phys + %phys/acc hybrid + Flat Phys + Atk speed -- Once you hit 3 of these you can craft the last one (except hybrid, which makes it the most valuable one to hit) Here's the process to craft the ENDGAME axe from the pob : 1- Spam Essences of Contempts (Defeaning ideally) until you hit a decent hybrid %phys roll, tier 4 roll is good enough for a first endgame axe, with an open prefix (attempt to annul if it isn't) 2- Craft Prefixes cannot be changed 3- Aisling slam 4- If it hits a Prefix and you unveil %phys proceed to the next step, if not restart 5a - Prefixes cannot be changed ---> scour ---> Multimod Attack speed + Double Damage while Focussed 5b- Prefixes cannot be changed ---> Reforge speed, if it hits T3+ speed, Craft DD focus and Warlord Exalt. If not, repeat <=== THIS CAN GET EXPENSIVE OR FILL SUFFIXES AND BRICK THE ITEM , if you're poor just go with 5a. Minimum cost : 6 divines
