Build is starting to get pretty solid. I had a rough concept for how I wanted to push specters this league and it's cool to see them working out. Just finished some acceptable boots and clusters

Mageblood is always helpful, but that money can almost always go to better uses early on. I just grab one early while they are still very cheapish before prices rise. They are never needed, just luxury. If I didn't have mageblood I would probably not run melding yet, or spec in max res nodes, near center left cluster jewel slot

Minyohn on poe ninja to see build progression from day 1

I have some videos posted of progression as well. I have a finished 1-2 mirror CI version (that I think is better) further back in videos. I was going to let the markets rings/amulet/clusters dictate whether I went CI or not. I found an insane gloam ring for cheap so I stayed with health. League is slow, I self crafted clusters and boots. I will give a tutorial at the end if you don't know how to craft boots or clusters

Sanctum first day. Started with Moon dancers in bitterdream. I was able to start clearing ziggurat on day 2 or 3 with horrible damage. I show a practice video of this without mageblood before league started as well. Once a lightning to fire/cold amulet ping'd, I transitioned to Doryani's.

To craft clusters

1. Ilvl 84 12 passive minion jewel
2. Alteration spam until 3% minion cast or 35% increased effect
3. Augment for the other (low chance to hit) - If I miss the augment, personally I annul to try again, but you don't have to
4. Once you have 3% minion cast and 35% increased effect on a blue cluster
5. imprint
6. regal
7. Hit life, attribute/dex/int, cold resist or chaos resist
8. If missed, back to step 5
9. If hit, exalt slam for the same stats.
10. Depending on your currency, go again, you will usually miss. I just a blue 35% 3% cluster for a while until I could afford 10 more imprint attempts.

To craft boots with hinekora's lock beast Follow these steps in craft of exile first if you aren't certain what you're doing here after reading this. Mistakes can be very expensive

1. buy any influence on the base you want, CHECK ILVL (85 is t1 speed I believe, might be 86 tho)
2. Harvest reforge to elder.
3. Alteration spam to +1 Specter
4. Imprint
5. Regal
6. Lock Suffixes
7. Harvest Reforge Influence
8. Orb of Dominance
9. If you miss, back to step 4
10. If you hit +2 specter, annul off the other suffixes and prefixes until +2 specters is only affix left. I suggest that if you annul off the other suffixes and there are only prefixes left with +2 specter, that you suffix cannot be changed to annul off the rest of the prefixes. These 2-4 divines for suffix can not be changed, may save you 100 divines, seriously. This part can go easy, or you will have nightmares about it.
11. With specters as the only suffix on rare boot, craft suffixes cannot be changed and scour, this will put the boots to magic with @Specter2x8+2 specter where you can imprint them and you're safe. If the craft goes bad in the future, you can always return to this point, even after the awakeners orb.

Second and third pair of boots will be crusaders

1. You need to elevate one set to have +2 max fire res It's a 1/600ish to hit +2 max fire. Personally, I find the cheapest and easiest way to do this is to buy like 8 sets of boots. Place them in stash and write "maxium fire" (as written with quotations). Then use whatever button you use to spam items in and out of your inventory but do it with alterations as you do circles or lines around all the boots in your stash tab. When one glows, stop.
2. If it's +2 - Since imprints are cheap at the moment, and alterations are expensive, I imprint here. If alteration become cheap and imprints become expensive, don't imprint. I believe the cheapest way to get a second influence is to exalt to 6 affix, if you hit a influence then great, if not I just annul, exalt, annul, exalt until I hit one or remove +2 fire. If I remove +2 fire, go again with imprint or alteration spam. If I hit a influence, orb of dominance for @farfiremax_123gaming3+3 max fire.
3. Do this again with a second pair of boots, when finished, lock suffix and reforge influence
4. Beast craft hinekora's lock onto specter boots
5. Click Max fire boots and hover over, DON'T CLICK, to see the outcome. If it is a bad outcome, then do the same thing with the second pair. Since the second pair has 2 influences on it, it will re roll the hinekora's lock results, give you 2 attempts with a single hinekora's. It will be a 50/50 chance that it's max fire, but this is still good. When you hit a resist/attribute you're happy with apply the awakeners.
6. Suffix cannot be changed
7. Harvest reforge speed
8. craft life or exalt slam
9. If this stage ever goes bad, you can imprint back to your blue single influence +2 specter boots.
