Find of buy a one-handed weapon with fractured cast speed 2. roll essences of woe until you hit +1 all phys. The lower the level of the wand, the lower the number of rolls needed/cost of the craft. (craft of exile predicts an average of 403 tries) 3. If prefixes are not filled, exalted orb till you hit a prefix. You also want an open suffix, so you might need to yolo annul here. If you have an open prefix and 3 suffixes, you can also beast craft "remove a suffix, add a new prefix". 4. craft prefixes cannot be changed 5. Harvest reroll caster 6. Bench craft crit multi Estimated cost: fractured wand (1 to 5c) + 403 screaming essences (202c) + 2 exalted orbs (35c) + bench craft (2 div) + harvest reroll (75 blue= 2 or 3c) = 2 div & 245c Trade might be better Expensive V1 (cheaper and more powerful than the V2 but it might cost you your sanity): 1. Find or buy a T1 fractured cast speed one-handed weapon with 36% to 40% increased spell damage or 36% to 40% increased elemental damage implicit 2. Alt spam till you hit +1 all spell skill gems (craft of exile predicts an average of 1608 tries) 3. craft "cannot roll attack modifiers" 4. harvest add/remove phys -> 66% chance of success. If it removes the +1 all, restart at step 2 5. craft prefixes cannot be changed 6. veiled chaos orb (risk bricking the item into a 6 mod item, or by adding an unwanted prefix) or aisling 4 7. If veiled suffix, bench craft "strength and dexterity & accuracy rating" to block those mods, unveil and hope to hit crit multi while rare or unique enemy is nearby The veiled prefix version is the strongest weapon you can reasonably craft. It is the version I used in the mirror tier version of the build. It is also much more expensive. 8 bench craft increased spell damage Estimated cost: fractured base (3 divs) + 2k alts (1 div) + bench craft (1div) + harvest add/remove (4 div) + bench craft (2 div) + aisling (3div) = 14 divs Expensive V2 (a little bit less powerful and more expensive than the V1 but much more deterministic): 1. Find or buy a fractured +1 to level of all spell skill gems one-handed weapon with 36% to 40% increased spell damage or 36% to 40% increased elemental damage implicit 2. Spam deafening essences of woe untill you hit +1 phys (craft of exile predicts an average of 634 tries) 3. Bench craft "prefixes cannot be changed" 4. veiled chaos orb (risk bricking the item into a 6 mod item, or by adding an unwanted prefix) or aisling 4 5. Craft any damage over time mod to block it for the unveil (cold damage over time T3 for example) 6. Unveil crit multi while a rare enemy is nearby (if you don't hit it, restart at step 3) 7. Bench craft cast speed Estimated cost: fractured base (16 divs) + 634 essences (15 divs) + bench craft (2 divs) + 1 veiled chaos orb = 33 divs & 1 veiled chaos orb Mirror tier (same process as the expensive V1 until the unveil): 1. Find or buy a T1 fractured cast speed wand with 36 to 40 increased spell damage implicit 2. Alt spam till you hit +1 all spell skill gems 3. craft "cannot roll attack modifiers" 4. harvest add/remove phys (66% chance of success. If it removes the +1 all, restart at step 2) 5. craft prefixes cannot be changed 6. veiled chaos orb (risk bricking the item into a 6 mod item, or by adding an unwanted prefix) or aisling 4 7. if veiled prefix, unveil and pray you hit any spell damage mod (spell damage + gain non chaos as chaos is the best). If there are none, pick any non caster modifier, bench craft "cannot roll caster modifiers" and orb of annulment; then restart 8. bench craft prefixes cannot be changed 9. veiled chaos orb (risk bricking the item into a 6 mod item) or aisling 4 10. harvest reforge caster (if you're not satisfied with the tier of the mod, you can always craft prefixes cannot be changed, scour, then restart at step 7.1) 11. bench craft crit multi& Estimated base cost: fractured base (3 divs) + 2k alts (1 div) + bench craft (1div) + harvest add/remove (4 div) + bench craft (2 div) + aisling (3div) = 14 divs *it will probably take 5 to 10 tries to get the spell damage prefix meaning: 10 additionnal ailsing (30 divs), 9 additionnal cannot roll caster modifiers (9 divs), 15 annuls (half a div) -> 40 divs **it will probably take between 2 and 5 tries to get a good crit mod meaning: 5*aisling (15 divs) + 4*harvest reforge (100c) + 4*prefixes cannot be changed (8 divs) -> 24 divs Fractured prefix additionnal cost: getting spell damage prefix* (40 divs) + getting a good crit mod** (24 divs) = 64 divs. Total cost: 14 divs + 64 divs = 78 divs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Amulet Cheap: 1. Get a base 2. Spam alterations untill you hit +1 phys or +1 all (craft of exile predicts an average of 370 tries) Estimated cost: 370 alts (37c) Expensive: 1. Find or buy a T1 fractured cast speed amulet 2. Alt spam till you hit +1 all spell skill gems (craft of exile predicts an average of 1847 tries) 3. craft "cannot roll attack modifiers" 4. harvest add/remove phys (66% chance of success. If it removes the +1 all, restart at step 2) 5. craft prefixes cannot be changed 6. harvest reforge defense (%ES and % armour are the best hits you can hope for) 7. craft prefixes cannot be changed 8. Harvest reforge chaos (if you are unsatisfied with the tier of the Chaos res, restart at step 7) 9. Bench craft +1 minimum frenzy (or something else if you prefer) Estimated cost: fractured base (10c) + 2k alts (1 div) + bench craft (1div) + harvest add/remove (4 div) + bench craft (2 div) + harvest craft (2c) + bench craft (2 div) + harvest craft (4c) = 10 divs 20c --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gloves Medium ---explicits--- 1. Find a pair of high ES base gloves (Arcanist, Fingerless Silk, Nexus, or Sorcerer gloves) 2. Spam alteration till you hit a reasonably good %ES roll (craft of exile predicts an average of 16 triesfor a T4, 21 for a T3, 31 for a T2 & 62 for a T1) 3. Regal and hope for a suffix 4. Craft prefixes cannot be changed 5. veiled chaos orb (risk bricking the item by adding too many prefixes) or aisling 4 6. If open prefix, bench craft %increased damage while leeching or %increased damage during any flask effect 7. Unveil and hope for % physical damage converted to cold damage (if you hit +2 socketed aoe gems, I would recommend choosing that, crafting something generic like ES or Chaos res and selling the gloves. They sell well.) 8. Bench craft prefixes cannot be changed 9. Harvest reforge chaos 10. Bench craft anything you want or need ---implicits--- 1. Spam Grand Ichors untill you hit 20% of physical damage converted to cold damage 2. Use 1 exceptional Ember (the result doesn't matter) 3. Use 1 orb of conflict and pray you upgrade the conversion mod (if you hit the other mod, you can either restart at step 1 or try to use 2 more orbs of conflict) Estimated cost for explicits: Base (1c) + 61 alterations (5c) + 1 regal + bench craft (2 divs) + aisling (3 divs) + bench craft (2 divs) + harvest reforge (4c) = 7 divs & 10c Estimated cost for implicits: 50 grand ichors (300c) + 1 Exceptionnal Ember (40c) + 1 orb of conflict (60c) = 400c Total: 7 divs & 410c This is honestly much more expensive than buying a good base and crafting the implicits Expensive ---explicits--- 1. Find a pair of high ES base gloves (Arcanist, Fingerless Silk, Nexus, or Sorcerer gloves) with fractured % increased Energy shield (Arcanist are much cheaper but have a little bit less base ES) 2. Use Deafening essences of Woe untill you hit an open prefix 3. craft prefixes cannot be change 4. Veiled chaos orb (if you hit a veiled suffix, unveil anything and restart at step 2) 5. Unveil and hope for % physical damage converted to cold damage (if you hit +2 socketed aoe gems, I would recommend choosing that, crafting something generic like ES or Chaos res and selling the gloves. They sell well.) It took me about 10 tries to get the good mod 6. Bench craft prefixes cannot be changed 7. Harvest reforge chaos (if you are unsatisfied with the tier of the Chaos res, restart at step 6) 8. Bench craft anything you want or need ---implicits--- 1. Spam Grand Ichors untill you hit 20% of physical damage converted to cold damage 2. Use 1 exceptional Ember (the result doesn't matter) 3. Use 1 orb of conflict and pray you upgrade the conversion mod (if you hit the other mod, you can either restart at step 1 or try to use 2 more orbs of conflict) Estimated cost for explicits: Base (50c) + (1 essence (5c) + bench craft (2 divs) + veiled chaos)*10 + bench craft (2 divs) + harvest reforge (4c) = 12 divs & 254c Estimated cost for implicits: 50 grand ichors (300c) + 1 Exceptionnal Ember (40c) + 1 orb of conflict (60c) = 400c Total: 12 divs & 664c None of these gloves really exist on trade.
