Righteous Fire Inquisitor Build Guide ~ Path of Exile Expedition 3.15

Color Code: Section Information Bullet Points of Each Section Special Info Recommended Choice of Options Given Strength Gems/Supports Intelligence Gems/Supports Dexterity Gems/Supports ******************* MAJOR UPDATES for 3.16 *************************** Net Changes: Cons: *Fortify is weaker now *A bit lower EHP Pros: *Got Less Expensive (Unnatural Instinct and Transcendent Mind(this is still decent giving 21% dot multi instead of 24, but will be outclassed by a rare min-max jewel and points are stretched thin) No longer in build) *A bit higher Damage *No EE/EO proccing necessary while mapping(playstyle smoother than before) *Armour has double the effectiveness than before *75% reduced curse effect with pious path change *1.5% additional %life regen with pious path change *+2 levels via awakened Burning/Ele Focus at high end investment(more damage) *Divine Shield Keystone Extra Sustaion for our ES Pool *SAFE gear corruption via Scourge mechanic for shadowstitch(Probably will make up for EHP loss) Misc Changes to Look Into: *Essence of Delirium ring crafting will be costly, so save for min-maxing. But a nice damage boost to gearing(added high budget craft steps for this) *Early Budget amulets look for generic dot multi stat(can roll up to 26% I believe) *Fire dot multi and regular dot multi or quite strong stats definitely prioritize getting atleast one of these mods in your 3 stat jewel searches *New awakened gems that give +2 levels to RF and lack of -res to enemies might make RF in the chest 6L and look into crafting a minus res helmet the play vs a multilink helmet *I tried to plan the tree as best I could from PoB, but in game is always the best way to test so keep an open mind to trying new things and experiment ******************* DOs and DONTs of RF *************************** Sustaining Degen *Cap FIRE res(75%) *Pious Path Keystone Inquisitor Doubles Regen *%life regen is a stat you want every where it is easilly acquired *Enduring Cry is your friend in combination with Vaal RF *DONT continuously walk character, after 4 seconds your conc ground will wear off and you will lose the majority of your regen/curse reduction. Mix in a shield charge or flame dash regularly and conc ground timer will reset to 4 seconds every time your character stops moving for just an fraction of a second. ******************* Leveling Gem Setup Tips *************************** Early Damage Skills: Purifying Flame(lvl 1) / Flame Wall(lvl 4 Quest: Breaking some Eggs) / Scorching Ray(Lvl 12 Quest: Sirens Cadence) (Stop using purifying flame once you get Elemental Equilibrium / Use SR instead) Righteous Fire(Lvl 16 Act 2 Quest: Root of the Problem. DON'T use RF until after cruel lab unless experienced with RF, just level in off hand till then) Early Damage Links: Arcane Surge(lvl 1) / Infused Channeling(lvl 4 just for Scorching Ray) / Efficacy(Lvl 8 Quest: Caged Brute) / Controlled Destruction(lvl 18 Act 2 Quest: Sharp and Cruel) / Elemental Focus(Lvl 18) / Burning Damage(lvl 31 Quest Act 3: A Fixture of Fate) / Swift Afflicition(lvl 31) Early Utility Skills: Frost Blink(lvl 4) / Molten Shell(lvl 4) / Enduring Cry(Lvl 10 Quest: Caged Brute) / Vitality(Lvl 10) / Clarity(Lvl 10) / Flame Dash(Lvl 10 replace Frost Blink) Defiance Banner(lvl 16) / Flammability(Lvl 24 Quest: Lost in Love) / Purity of Elements(Lvl 24, swap this and malevolence for clarity/vitality) / Malevolence(Lvl 24) / Shield Charge(Lvl 8, don't use till you get fortify support lvl 31) Early Utility Links: Fortify Support(Lvl 31) / Faster Attacks(Lvl 18) / Hextouch Support / (lvl 38 Act 4 Quest: The Eternal Nightmare) / Life Tap(Lvl 8, DON'T use till you get good life regen, doesn't work great early) / Combustion(Lvl(8?)Cage Brute Quest) Overview of Leveling Link Setups: Pretty much all the gem links are available to templar upon completing appropriate quests, so you will gradually acquire more utility and power via links as you level. The build is in a somewhat constant state of transition between gem setups up through to act 4 where you will stabilize with 2 damage setups of Scorching Ray and Flamewall with some supporting utility setups that should look fairly identical to the endgame utility setups. This will remain steady until about act 7 when you are able to access and complete Cruel Lab. Upon completetion and getting ascendancy passive: Pious Path, you shall be able to swap out flamewall for Righteous Fire and sustain it. At this point you want to transition your remaining link setups to the endgame setup listed below the in the gem link section. Of course be sure to have capped fire resistance by this stage. RF should drain your ES pool if you do not have corrupted soul keystone yet but it should sustain on your life pool. This will be your lowest point in sustain for RF and as you level and get more passives and gear into life regen sustain will only get better and more secure. ******************* Getting to Righteous Fire ************************* When? After you have done Cruel Lab with Pious Path Ascendancy Node + Capped Fire Resitance you should be able to Sustain Righteous Fire. (it can be done sooner but I recommend against it if you are new to RF) What Skills to use before then: Use Flamewall + Scorching Ray Until Then, Both Skills use similar link supports such as: Controlled Destruction / Ele Focus / Burning Damage / Swift Affliction / Efficacy. If you have mana issues look into lifetap/inspiration support as well as Enduring Mana Flask Other Link Setups: Try to follow closely the links I use in the PoB, you can acquire gems not found in previous vendors once fulfilling twilight strand quest in act 6 ******************* Gem Link Setups ************************* In link Setups I tried to prioritize links from Left to right, so when you only have a 5L RF for example I would drop the Concentrated Effect/Awakened Increased AoE Link Utility Gems: 4L - Shield Charge - Fortify - Lifetap(low level) - Faster Attacks No Link: Malevolence / Flamedash / Molten Shell / Enduring Cry / Purity of Elements / Defiance Banner (these gems can be anywhere just be careful not to link aura gems to any supports) 4L - Armageddon Brand - Hextouch Support - Flammability - Combustion Damage Gems: 4L - Scorching Ray - Infused Channeling - Lifetap - Burning Damage 6L - Righteous Fire - Burning damage - Elemental Focus - Lifetap - Swift Afflicition - Concentrated Effect/Awakened Increased AoE(Inc Aoe for clear and Conc for Single Target on tanky bosses when necessary) How damage Links Change if you get Multi Link RF Helm: 6L - Scorching Ray - Infused Channeling - Lifetap - Burning Damage - Controlled Destruction - Efficacy Helm with More Ele Damage + Burning Support: Righteous Fire - Elemental Focus - Lifetap - Swift Afflicition Helm with More Ele Damage + Conc: Righteous Fire - Elemental Focus - Burning Damage - Awakened Increased AoE Helm with Conc + Burn Support: Righteous Fire - Elemental Focus - Lifetap - Swift Afflicition ******************* Gear Progression Information TLDR(in depth info farther down) ************************ Budget - Mid budget - High Expense Shield: Springleaf - The Oak / Saffells Frame - Rare with Good flat life and %fire Damage Amulet: Shapers Seed - REPLICA Atziri's Foible / Marble Amulet with Life - +2 awakened marble Amulet Rings: Kikazaru / Pyre(NO FLAT COLD TO SPELLS) - Rare with Life and Res Belt: Rare with Life and Res - Elder Leather craft with pristine till good %life + flat life - elder stygian craft Weapon: +1 fire sceptre with open suffix, craft %fire dot multi - Thriftshopping for Sceptre - craft Fracture +1 fire sceptre Boots: Rare with Life Res + Movespeed/onslaught craft - Enchant for 2% regen - Crafting warlord/crusader two-tone pair Gloves: Rare with Res+Life - Rare with Life+Fire dot Multi - Awakened Fire Dot+Cull Elevated + Meta Crafting Helmet: SkullHead - Rare with Life+Res - Crown of Inward Eye - RF damage enchant - Elder Rare Multi Link Craft Body Armour: Ambu's Charge(6L should be cheap) - Rare 6L(armour/es Base self craft) - Shadowstitch(farm at corruption chamber) ************** Misc Information / FAQ ****************** Bandits: Kill All +2 passives Pantheon: Solaris + Tukohama(make sure to acquire minor passives from these as they are quite strong) Glorious Vanity: This can be divine orbed to get "Doryani" if you accidentally bought one with different keystone What righteous Fire MTX?: I used Lightbringer RF mtx from last league box as well as Celestial RF MTX in the video Ascendancy Order: Go Pious Path first -> Righteous Providence -> Augury of Penintence Map Mods to AVOID: No Regen / Less Recovery How to Acquire Lvl 21 Vaal RF: Temple Gem Corruption Room on 20/20 RF Gems (took me 9tries to hit mine) / These use to be a global drop but seems thats gone now SSF Viable?: Very much depends on how comfortable you are with Righteous Fire, the build can work on just rares you pick up off the ground but you will certainly want to self farm specific upgrades for RF to be able to take down harder endgame content. I include a short Section with some Basic SSF recommendations for things I would do if I was playing in SSF environment. Regen During Flask Craft: This regen bench craft can be acquired through unveiling mods on Cinderswallow Unique Flask which drops from Catarina ************** Where to put Currency first, PRIORITIES ****************** #1 Early Budget gear options(should be roughly 1c for most of these) #2 Corruted Soul Keystone via Replica Soul Tether OR Glorious Vanity(bathed blood doryani) #3 Budget Clusters - putting trade search links below #4 Thread of hope very large #5 Mid Tier Gear List items #6 Replica Fragile Bloom(if it remains around 50c or less, if it gets more expensive prioritize other things) #7 Transcendent Mind(can self upgrade at temple of atzoatle with Apex of Ascension Room + Tempered mind + vial of transcendence) #8 Watcher eye with ok stat like %recovery rate malevolence % life regen / flat life regen / Phys taken as fire (either affected by purity/vitality/malevolence) #9 Upgrade most gear pieces further #10 Dot Multi Watchers Eye #11 Min-Max Clusters/Jewels #12 Unnatural Instinct #13 Min-maxing each gear piece one by one Min-max Gear Piece Priorities: The order of items you min-max does matter, for this character I ended up putting roughly 50-60% of my total budget when making my Sceptre and Gloves. Because of this, I recommend saving these items till later to min-max as they can sink a lot of currency before finishing or settling for less min-maxing them via multimod on sceptre and non elevated gloves as these sorts of compromises are the difference between many exalts in the crafting cost. Other pieces are much lower in potential bad rng cost of the craft so they will give you better bang for your buck to do first IMO. ~Possibly forgetting a step here or there but hopefully this gives a good picture for progression priorities *********************** Some Trade Search links ************************ Budget RF one Hand: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/ag7le28cehttps://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/EaX0ynYc5 Wrapped in Flame Medium: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/EaeKKpzF5 Very Large Thread of Hope: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/jWOyzKbHX Budget 3 stat RF Jewel: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/OWv0yJKcE Budget Prismatic Heart Large Cluster: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/6KPbkqkfG ~Tried to setup some trade searches that should lead you guys in the right direction to pick up some cheap upgrades, but these prices of course are subject to change if all these things get bought out. that should be unlikely given the ease to craft a lot of these items however. IE if budget x items get expensive, then you probably can craft for cheaper *********************** SSF Farming/Crafting Basic Options ************************ Farming Uniques: Glorious Vanity Doryani:Farm New Vastir For legion content, use all your legion scarabs from betrayal here, Do 3/2 way fights with Vaal Stones killing Vaal boss as many times as possible for highest chance of dropping Glorious Vanity(can be divined) Crown of Inward Eye: Most Common Drop from sirus, Farming him a couple times should drop a helm Temple of Atzoatle Farm: Get Glennach Cairns Passives for Incursion ASAP and only run Incursion missions in this zone Shadowstich: Farm Regular Atziri for sacrificial Garbs(get fragments from Heist contracts/blueprints fragment reward rooms) and double corrupt normal 20 qual sacrificial garbs with locus of corruption(1/4 to hit shadowstitch, auto 6Ls) Transcendent Mind: Always connect your temple rooms to apex to fight the Roomba, fighting the boss enough should yield a tempered mind, and vial of transcendence I believe is the most common vial, not an easy farm and it will require doing a lot of temple runs to drop one. Then use vial of transcendence + tempered mind in apex of ascension upgrade room Watchers Eye: Kill as many elders as you can, maybe with enough luck you will hit malevolence recovery or dot multi Cinderswallow: We farm this doing catarina for Regen Craft suffix Rares: Early Rares: will be simply picking up rares and ID'ing them Better Rares: Haewark Hamlet Essence and Harvest Passives(run this regularly to help get supplies to recraft good bases for rare gear slots you wish to improve Early Descent Sceptre: Buy ilvl 4 sceptre, use scorched fossils till you hit fire dot multi and +1 fire spell, then anul/beast craft off flat fire to spells and benchcraft %fire damage *********************** SHIELD *************************************** Leveling: Sprintleaf -> The Oak Cheap and Tanky: Rise of the Phoenix / Saffells Frame(tankiest Option) / The Oak Mid-Budget: A rare shield with good %Fire / Flat Life + Other Useful Stats High Budget Self Crafting: Rare with good %fire /flat Life / +1 fire / other stats How to Craft High Budget Shield: Step 1: Buy or Craft(essence/fossil/alt spam for %fire and imprint + harvest for flat life) High Flat Life + % Fire Damage Shield Step 2: Get shield to have %fire res AND % avoid ailment suffix Step 2.5: Prefix can't be changed reforge fire more common until you hit % chance to avoid ele ailments(then benchcraft fire res) this is required to block both fire suffixes from ruining the craft Step 3: Remove Non Fire Add Fire (probably will have to buy off TFT because finding good crafts solo is non existent(Ive ran over 100+ gardens this league with not a single remove non add or augment craft)) Step 3 has 4 Possible Outcomes: Outcome 1: Remove Flat life, put on +1 fire spell (not ideal -> will lead to benchcraft flat life) Outcome 2: Remove Flat life, put on gain fire as chaos (this is a complete brick IMO) Outcome 3: Remove Extra Affix we don't care about, put on Gain Fire as Chaos -> this can be annul saved via farric lynx alpha to take a 1/3 to take off gain fire as chaos and put on suffix to retry Remove non add fire Outcome 4: remove Extra Affix we don't care about, put on +1 fire to spells (ding ding ding, winner winner, this is what we want) If Step 3 Bricks: Have to start over on step 1. Step 3 is roughly a 1/5 chance for best case scenario to continue crafting the shield. Step 4: Wipe Suffix with Prefixes can't be changed + scour Step 5: Craft Suffixes cannot be changed + Aisling -> Get useful stat like Res / Regen(if unhappy with result you can wipe and go again) Step 6: Hunter Exalt Slam for good odds to hit affix like reduced reservation/Warcry CDR/Regen/NoExtraBleed Step 7: Benchcraft Affix you need like Res/Regen ************************ AMULET *********************************** Leveling/Early Budget: Shapers Seed -> Araku Tiki(prophecy version) -> Replica Atziri's Foible Mid-Budget: High Life + (Fire Dot Multi/+1Fire/+1Int) + Res How to Craft high Budget Amulet: Step 1: Acquire hunter or Warlord marble amulet -> alt spam for either +1 int or +1 fire respectively( avg roughly 500 alts + augs to hit) (CANNOT have additional influence mod, Imprint Anul if you hit +1 with extra influence mod) Step 2: Buy +1 fire / +1 int amulet with no other influence mods(should be cheaper than alt spamming for second amulet) Step 3: Buy Awakeners orb and use it to combine +1 amulet onto +1 Marble Amulet(Right click awakener orb, left click amulet you bought then left click marble amulet) Step 4: Cry if you hit bad extra prefix OR Rejoice if you hit open prefix / flat life Bad Prefix Step 4.5: Sell amulet at a small loss and go again from step 1 OR by the power of your massive balls anul orb it attempting to save the amulet Open Prefix Step4.5: Benchcraft Prefixes can't be changed and use Reforge Life+Life More Common Craft From harvest -> something like a 30-40% chance to hit t4 flat life or higher(if bad outcome, move to bad prefix step 4.5) Good Prefixes Step 5: Benchcraft Prefixes Can't be changed and use Reforge Fire/Chaos/Influence + more common to try and put on %fire damage/ Fire res/ Chaos Res/ Fire dot multi / %Regen Step 6: if step 5 gives low tier mod go again on step 5, otherwise Craft Prefixes can't be changed and do Aisling for 50/50 at keeping your good suffix and putting on betrayal mod Step 7: if step 6 fails, repeat step 5 and 6, otherwise your item should be finished, just bench craft suffix you want like Res/%fire damage/%Regen ************************ Rings *********************************** Leveling/Early Budget: Pyre/Kikazaru/Life + RES Mid Budget: buying good life + good res and maybe dex to fix attribute requirements on good base ring like Vermillion/Coral (My rings fall in this category) High Budget: Buying Synthesised Rings with Onslaught on Hit / Max Endurance Charge / %life + other good Stats then Crafting with %fire damage essences till good flat life + other suffixes and aisling %damage + benchcraft last prefix How to craft High Budget Rings: Step 1: Acquire best in slot ring base (synthesised onslaught/vermillion/max endurance charge) Step 2: Quality Ring for life if vermillion, otherwise potentially wait to quality ring till after crafting incase you hit a lot of X specific stat you would like to increase) Step 3: Spam Essence of Delirium for good suffixes(gives 15% dot multi) and you are aiming for additional high tier affixes. Step 4: On hitting T1/T2 suffixes with delirium mod check for open suffix or anul off Bad suffix, if open suffix move to step 5, if brick go back to step 3 Step 5: Benchcraft Suffixes can't be changed and Reforge chaos, This should be guaranteed chaos res, I would aim for T3+, if really bad chaos res, go to step 4, if good chaos res go to step 6 Step 6: Check to make sure you have a ring with 3 GOOD suffixes(dot multi+2 other good suffixes) Step 7: Suffixes can't be changed + reforge life, Repeat this step till you get t3+ life Step 8: Craft a good prefix and be happy with a 5 stat ring Step 9: Realize you aren't happy yet, craft suffixes can't be changed and gamble 50/50 with aisling to hit betrayal mod + good life, if you remove life, go back to step 7 otherwise step 10 Step 10: Check Poedb for betrayal prefix mod pool available, and benchcraft mod you wish to block, then unveil Step 11: Hopefully hit decent betrayal mod, be happy and craft last prefix for amazing 6 mod ring. ************************ BELT *********************************** Leveling: Belt of the deceiver/meginords/immortal flesh Early Budget: High Life Belt with good Resistances How to craft Mid Budget Belt: Step 1: Buy ilvl 82 elder leather belt Step 2: Scour it + 4 fertile Catalysts Step 3: Pristine Fossils till okay %life + flat life + a res and open suffix to benchcraft Regen life during flask Step 4: Enjoy / Also this belt could potentially be bough on market? not sure about prices How to Craft High Budget Belt: Step 1: Buy ilvl82 elder stygian Belt (you could potentially awakener orb with warlords to try and get % fire damage with reforge fire on step 4 but up to you if you want to try) Step 2: Scour it + 4 fertile Catalysts Step 3: Pristine Fossils till T1 % and T1 Flat life Step 4: If suffixes aren't good -> Prefixes Can't Be changed + Reforge Chaos/Speed for either chaos res or aps during flask Step 5: Prefixes Can't Be changed + Aisling for 50/50 on adding betrayal mod while keeping other good suffix Step 6: Benchcraft Either %regen during flask effect or RES and DONE ************************ Weapon *********************************** Leveling/Early: Buy one of these budget options off trade https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/ag7le28ce ^if for whatever reason this gets expensive, just throw a couple scorched fossils at ilvl4 sceptre to get +1 fire and fire dot multi + anul the fire to spells Mid Budget: Make the above search more strict for about 2 mods of higher value with open prefix/suffix to benchcraft dot multi/%fire damage How to Craft High Budget Sceptre: Step 1: Buy Fractured +1 fire to spells Sceptre Step 2: Harvest Enchant %ele damage per quality(this can be done at any time in crafting process) Step 3: 30 Qual with perfect fossils or Hillock(hillock can be done at any time during crafting process) Step 4: If ilvl 82 or lower, then use a 3 socket resonator of Shuddering / Corroded / Metalic for 1/6 to hit +1 all spell BUT if the sceptre is ilvl 83 or above use a 4 socket Chaotic Resonator with Shuddering / Corroded / Jagged / Metalic (1/6 to hit +1 all spell) Step 5: Once you hit +1 all spell you will have to annul most likely to open suffix or remove % spell damage / You can also get a "keep prefixes reforge" to open up a suffix, Step 6: Once you have open suffixes craft prefixes can't be changed + scour Step 7: If you still have %spell damage do a 50/50 aisling and pray you hit %fire damage or %fire dot multi Otherwise with open prefix craft Prefixes can't be changed + Aisling in hopes of %fire or Dot multi/Trigger Spell(is okay outcome as well) Step 8: once you hit % fire/%dot multi/trigger spell I would multimod with other two affixes you don't have and call it good Step 9: IF and only IF you hit %fire betrayal mod, then you can move onto Prefixes can't be changed + Reforge fire+fire more common Trying to hit good natural %fire dot multi +%fire damage Step 10: If you hit good %fire or dot multi, you can benchcraft %fire res and go for an aug fire to try and hit %fire or dot multi Step 11: Benchcraft Trigger Spell and socket storm brand in here for less Buttons to press ************************ Boots *********************************** Leveling: Seven League Steps / Wanderlusts Early Budget: Rare with Res + Life + open prefix to craft MS +onslaught on Kill Mid Budget: High Res + Life two-tone/fugitive Boots with open prefix for MS +Onslaught -> run lab for 2% regen enchant (this is my current boots) How to Craft High Budget Boots: Step 1: Buy / lab Enchant Two-tone/fugitive Crusader Ilvl 85 Boots Step 2: Essence Craft or Fossil Craft till triple t2 Res or Higher Step 3: Suffixes can't be changed + Reforge fire till you hit +2 Max Fire Res Step 4: Suffixes can't be changed + aisling until MS Betrayal mod -> go back to step 3 if she takes of max fire res Step 5: Benchcraft 70 Flat life and you are done Step 6: If you want to increase craft cost to infinity -> aug influence + maven orb for +3 max fir res, then benchcraft 70 life, repeat from step 3 every time you miss maven orb ************************ Gloves *********************************** Leveling: Meginords Vise for some regen and flat life Early Budget: gloves with fire dot multi and open prefix -> craft flat life Mid Budget: Gloves with good fire dot multi / flat life and open suffix to craft RES (99% of the time I played with just this, did the feared with it too, high budget were nice dps boost but very expensive to craft in comparison) How to Craft High Budget Gloves: Step 1: Buy apothecary gloves with either warlord or shaper influence Step 2: Alt spam for T1 fire dot multi or Culling Step 3: Use imprints to clear extra affix then proceed to imprint + aug and regal +farric lynx alpha/Farric wolf alpha till you hit an extra influence mod with Fire Dot Multi/Cull Step 4: Maven orb, if you miss, imprint it back and keep going till T0 Cull or T0 Fire dot multi Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 to get other elevated mod on another pair of gloves or buy off the market if it exists. Step 6: Awakener Orb onto Apothecary gloves and pray you don't hit a bad suffix ->if bad you can either annul/live with bad suffix or sell and go again / if open suffix -> Suffixes can't be changed + reforge chaos can force on chaos res I believe Step 7: Once Suffixes are complete craft Suffixes can't be changed + Reforge Life + life more common to try and hit Good flat life / good hybrid life (repeat until decent of one of those Step 8: Suffixes can't be changed + Aisling to try and hit useful mods like +2 aoe / %damage during flask or flat life so you can get Level 23 purity of fire for +1 max fire res or have good life on gloves Step 9: Benchcraft Affix you are happy with in remaing prefix spot ************************ Body Armour *********************************** Leveling: Tabula -> Ambu's Charge Early Budget: 6L Ambu's Charge Mid Budget: 6L armour/ES base body armour + essences of greed till good res + open prefix + benchcraft Gain Life as ES High Budget: Buy or self Create a Shadowstitch with +2 Duration/AoE via Locus of Corruption on NORMAL sacrificial garbs(it will auto 6L) Corrupting Gear for Shadowstitch: use Craicic Vassal to guaranteed 30 qual no brick scenario on all gear pieces except Jewellry About Shadowstitch: I believe at the highest end this is the best chest piece, HOWEVER, to get to the highest end of having every single gear piece corrupted is an ENORMOUS expense given corrupting jewellry can have bricked outcome leading to having to recraft jewellry. You will notice I still haven't corrupted my jewellry as I don't have the heart to do it right just yet. Because This I would also recommend an alternative option if you do not want to corrupt Gear. How to Craft Alternative High Budget Chest: Step 1: Buy Ilvl 85 Astral Plate with Guatzeltis Life mod(110flat life + %life) counts as one prefix Step 2: Beast Split to try and Get Life Prefix by itself on magic base Step 3: Imprint + anul until just Life guatzelitzi mod is by itself Step 4: Craft Multimod on open suffix then Imprint (should be a 110life +%life + multi mod on magic astral at this point) Step 5: regal ->if you hit a prefix on regal then attempt to anul and go back to blue imprint if you miss(should have 1-2 open suffixes at this point Step 6 Good Slam: Hunter Slam -> if you hit prefix with t1 Percent life / Regen or Additional Curse then I would Scour to clean item with just prefixes Step 6 Bad Slam: Hunter slam hits bad prefix -> you have to try and anul bad hunter mod + benchcraft prefixes can't be changed + benchcraft hybrid life armour craft(using multimod from step 4) then Reforge life + life more common to try and hit good hunter mod, if you hit bad hunter mod you can keep retrying annul of step 6 until brick scenario(taking off guatzelitizi mod) in which case you have to imprint back to step 5 Step 6: Okay slam: Hunter slam hits a suffix -> craft prefixes can't be change + hybrid life+armour and do harvest Reforge life more common to try and hit good %life/life regen hunter prefix mods Step 7: Chest should have 2 good life prefixes at this point, next is to use prefixes can't be changed + aisling to try and hit gain % life as ES mod on prefixes(repeat this step + anuls as many times as you want till you are happy with either % gain life prefix or a suitable suffix and multimod on %life gain + res Step 8: only continue here if you get fully finished prefixes, in which case I would recommend going for prefixes can't be changed + reforge chaos till good chaos res + extra decent suffix and then benchcraft last affix ************************ Helmet *********************************** Leveling: SkullHead / The gull(life + res helmets are great) Early/Mid Budget: Crown of the inward eye -> Crown with RF damage/aoe Enchant Mid High Budget: Multi Link RF helm How to Craft Mid High Budget multi Link RF Helm: Step 1: Buy Elder ilvl82 helm with RF enchant Step 2: Essence of Horror spam till you hit Burning damage or Conc Effect (GG scenario is hitting both together) Step 3: If you hit flat fire to spells this has to be annulled or prefixes can't be changed + scour Step 4: From here you can Craft Life or +AoE gems and call it a day -> additional steps will add a lot of cost At this point this is high budget RF Helm which really requires burning damage support and not conc: Step 5: Prefixes can't be changed + Reforge Chaos + chaos more likely -> this should give you chaos res if you have open suffix / if suffix is bad I would sell helmet and start over or Anul and perform this step Step 6: Suffixes are good at this pont -> horror mod + burning support + good res, Proceed to do prefixes can't be changed + Reforge influence Step 7: Repeat Step 6 till Conc Effect support then go for prefixes can't be changed + aislings and try to get conc +2aoe on prefix pool, every miss will take you to a prefix can't be changed + anul gamble +going back to step 6 till success Step 8: You have probably the best RF helm on the Expedition Server, benchcraft flat life and be happy with the great helm you have created ULTRA/Impossible RF helmet for GIGA damage: Step 9: Go back to step 2, except use Glyphic + Tangled + Scorched + Sanctified fossils to try and hit 30% more ele damage mod as well as 30% more damage on low life mod(the double essence can occur via tangled rolling as a glyphic fossil) -> I attempted this myself and basically depleted the server of glyphic fossils 2 nights in a row, NOT a single time did I hit more ele damage + low life damage(I hit multiple occurences of +2 aura with other essence mods) Not sure if there is some internal weighting against hitting those two mods with eachother specifically or I am just unlucky(I know it can exist via checking trade and seeing it does) Step 10: You luck into hitting burning damage as well with the double essence mod, good proceed to do step 6-8 until best RF helm in the game, otherwise you have to anul for open suffix and do prefixes can't be changed + reforge fire Step 11: Repeat steps 9-10 till you are a broken man with no money to your name or continue onto the holy land of steps 6-8 Step 12: Your helmet is the best RF helm in the game, you could probably mirror service it in standard thanks to petrified blood being a thing(pretty much a 35% reservation for 30%more damage thanks to helm) OR: you take that unholy creation of the greatest RF helm to ever exist to locus of corruption and let it decide the fate, you could hit an additional +4 via fire/aoe gems
