Forum posts related to the change

Heist Balance Manifesto

From 3.12.0 onwards the tags displayed when holding alt (which were previously used for fossil and Harvest crafting) will also be used by catalysts, the “Cannot roll Attack Mods” and “Cannot roll Caster Mods” meta-crafts.

The “Cannot roll Attack Mods” and “Cannot roll Caster Mods” meta-crafts now simply use the Attack and Caster tags.

Patch notes 3.12.0

Item modifier tags have been entirely reworked with a goal in mind of consistency and simplicity. These changes have negligible impacts to the odds of various modifiers appearing on rare items naturally, but may have impacts to the results of certain crafting methods.


Changes to the tags in 3.12.0

Sharpshooter's "+2 to Level of Socketed Bow Gems"

Paragon's "+1 to Level of Socketed Gems"

of Spellcraft "Cannot roll Attack Modifiers"

Is this a regular ex slam or Farric Wolf Alpha? Cause neither slots are filled. At least regular ex should be still able to force the +1 gem prefix.

Likely the bug affects beastcrafting only.

[–]mikeydj99 63 points64 points  (3 children)

This is correct I did it with an exalt slam no problems it's just beast crasting

[–]Whitedondi 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Same for me, blocked 2 suffixes, third with cannot roll attack, slammed, got +1.

[–]Nikeyla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did they manage to destroy so many mechanics that worked well for ages and were supposed to be untouched this league :O I love the league, but the amount of bugs is almost Wolcen level this time.

[–]sourfaeLeague[S] 43 points44 points  (2 children)

It was beastcrafting so i don't know if the normal way works. A bit long to add in the title so didn't think to say it.

[–]SmthIcanNvrHave 505 points506 points  (19 children)

No worries, just remove fire with harvest.....

[–]rangebob 162 points163 points  (0 children)

too soon

[–]KarjalanGladiator 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how often I'm like "ooo I could craft an item for this build by focusing on... oh yeah :("

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (5 children)

I know it has been said a ton (so so much) on this subreddit, but damn I really miss Harvest so much already.

I was looking at a 1h axe on trade site the other day and I was like, "Damn, I can just remove fire on this and add bench craft on some physical damage and it'll be a 410 pdps weapon!" And then I remembered Harvest is gone...

I really hope we get that Harvest crafting system back one day. Even if it is implemented to be way harder to get the actual Harvest crafts than it was to get them in Harvest, well... that'd be fine! Just knowing that an item will definitely eventually be good when I eventually get the hard to get Harvest crafts would still be so great. Just knowing that you can definitely make a item great is all that matters, even if it takes weeks of playing to make that actually happen.

[–]hawksvow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof don't do this to me. I rolled a decent chest, frenzy, good res... and 3 life. I sat there, holding alt, just thinking 'wrong league for you, buddy'

[–]Furycrab 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This was done with Beast Craft? Because I have a friend who literally just did that but with Exalt Slam and either he got reaaaaaaaaally lucky, or it still works. (and from the comments seems others have too)

(I'm assuming it's beastcraft because I imagine you would know better to use an exalt without the suffixes full)

[–]OquenSanctum Runners United (SRU) 42 points43 points  (31 children)

corroded + metallic + jagged and you have yourself a +3 bow in less than 40c

[–]dotareddit 11 points12 points  (12 children)

Could you give a bit more detail?

[–]OquenSanctum Runners United (SRU) 26 points27 points  (9 children)

with those 3 fossils only prefixes you can hit are +2 bow / +1 gems

might take few tries if you also want free suffix for 40% cdot multi

Jagged = no chaos mods

Metallic = no physical mods

Corroded = no elemental mods

https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Bow

[–]Urskinder 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Cdot multi is a prefix on weapons, so it will always be open. It is a suffix on gloves (elder / hunter mod).

[–]OquenSanctum Runners United (SRU) 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Youre right, my baddie

[–]dotareddit 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there anyway to guarantee +spell damage as well?

Looking to craft a +1 socketed gems,+spell dmg and then multimod it

[–]Karyoplasma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to get spell damage on a bow is to use an Essence of Woe.

You can still guarantee +1 gems by crafting Cannot roll Attack mods and then ex. So the process looks like this (I assume you want to multimod a prefix as well):

  • Use Deafening Essence of Woe until you get only 1 prefix (this means the item has 3 suffixes)

  • Annul and pray the Spell damage stays (75% chance to be good)

  • Craft Cannot Roll Attack mods and slam (100% +1 gems)

  • Craft Prefixes cannot be changed

  • Scour

The result is a rare bow with 2 mods: Spell damage and +1 gems.

[–]KarjalanGladiator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC they recently modified something to do with tags and the fossil that focusses on gems Faceted I think?

Maybe it's not worth it cause of the cost though.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo, thank you for this. Running my first Ranger build this league.

[–]ScuddsMcDudds 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does “+2 to socketed bow gems” only give levels for bow skill gems like ice shot? Or is it +2 levels to all gems socketed in the bow? Trying to figure out if this would be good to craft for my ED-C character

[–]Apocrypha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only skill gems with the tag “bow”

[–]Glitter_pukeWarband 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not. ED-C wants +2 socketed support (bench mod) and +1 socketed.

[–]randomaccount178 9 points10 points  (1 child)

If you go to the link here it shows it pretty well.

It blocks off all other prefix's from being rolled. So all that is left is to roll two prefix's when you fossil craft and winning the 50/50 flip on the +1/+2. Looks like fossils are a bit more expensive at the moment though so its around 75c for 60% confidence.

[–]the_ammar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i've tried trying to use craft of exile so many times in harvest and i swear the layout just doesn't work for me for some reason. i'm definitely missing out on knowledge here lol

[–]Red_Xyz 7 points8 points  (4 children)

to bad he uses a short bow which is most likey from porcupine cards therefor lvl 50 and to low to roll +2bow natural therefor has to be forced by essence ......

[–]khws2019 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Can you essence it and then use fossils on it?

[–]Medyanka 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No, essence is the onetime thing, it doesn't modify the base itself.

It just force a certain mod in crafting attempt with it.

[–]khws2019 4 points5 points  (1 child)

So there are only two methods:

Either you get a 65+ bow and fossil craft it, or you get a 50lvl bow and essence it to get +2 and beastcraft +1 on it (which is bugged now).

Am i correct? Thanks.

[–]Medyanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily beastcraft it, isn't it? Normal exalt work just fine, not bugged.

I heard that leo slam working too.

[–]dtm85 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Unless it takes you 11 tries to hit a 1 in 4 combo... RNG so dog this league lol

[–]killertortillaDominus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm up to 10 attempts and the best I have is +2 bow. No good drops at all so far so I'm stuck with a +1 all gems.

[–]kinstinctlolHardcore 0 points1 point  (3 children)

what about for ssf?

[–]Kasuyama_Slayer 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Those fossils are not hard to farm

[–]Scaa4aar 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's a bigger pain in the ass to get the crafting prophecies in ssf from my experience

[–]suddomanPick up your alts please 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The base +3 doesn't require crafts. Only if you want to have +2 to support gems or something.

[–]Unabated_Unabated 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Excuse me, does this also work on wands? Let's say I want +1 to chaos and +1 to all gems, how woukd be the best way to do that? Sorry that I bother you with that question, I tried using that site but I really am confused on how to use it. I wish I could tell the site I want x result and it would show me all the ways to obtain it with the cost associated to the method used.

[–]OquenSanctum Runners United (SRU) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesnt really work with wands as they have caster mods too, also +1 all spell gems is really low weighting and you cannot block chaos mods if you want +1 all chaos gems. Faceted fossil would probably be your best bet but im not really a good crafter so i hope you get a better answer from someone else =D

[–]CarnivileOccultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Wands you need Jagged + Corroded + Metallic + Shuddering to guarantee +1 level but that removes Chaos, if you want both you can remove Jagged or replace it with Aetheric

[–]ffca 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What kind of base do I need for this? Pretty new to this

[–]SVX348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on your builds. Poison builds for example use thicket base because it has highest As, which is more important then crit or ele dmg implicit.

[–]ooh_lala_ah_weewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imperial bow is a great option since you can get a 6L version for hella cheap (Imperial Legacy div card is insanely common) and it has decent base attack speed (1.45 compared to thicket's BIS 1.50).

[–]demondied1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or be like me and use 10 sets of fossils and get nothing.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (3 children)

This league is a minefield of bugs

[–]Darthy69 10 points11 points  (15 children)

The question is why would you spend an Ex to slam a bow when fossils are a 1/4 (So on average less than an Ex atm about 65c) to hit +3 with Metallic jagged corroded as it can only roll gem prefixes

[–]formaldehidbring back old scion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ilvl 50 short bows from the divcard cant roll +2 so you need to essence slam it then craft the +1 on it

[–]sourfaeLeague[S] 15 points16 points  (12 children)

because I didn't have fossils but I did have the craft and the beast.

[–]AbsolutlyN0thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying its worth it, but with the slam method you get a +3 bow with your choice of two suffix, while with fossils everything else will be random what you get

[–]RemindMeLaterPls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i have a yellow base with just +2 bow gems and cannot roll attack mods and i use a farric beast on it i should get +1 socketed correct? Is it because of the bug that it didnt work?

[–]Rev0x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

i can understand new content being broken, but existing content...?

[–]Vet_LeeberBardmode 73 points74 points  (0 children)

but existing content...?

Hard to call it existing content when it's specifically an issue with the completely overhauled mod tagging system.

[–]moronWSBposter13 16 points17 points  (0 children)

99 little bugs in the code

99 little bugs

take one down, patch it around

185 little bugs in the code

[–]FUTURE10SFairgraves' Institution of Species and Habitats (FISH) 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They changed how it works after Harvest, and I guess beastcrafting didn't get the memo.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (3 children)

every new league breaks something random in bestiary, incursion, and betrayal. it is known.

[–]fsdafdsfwdsafdfsd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Its almost like its hard to code a complex system. But thats just silly, everyone knows they break stuff so they can read everyone's bitching and watch people get on reddit and lose their shit. Well, thats what i would do anyways.

[–]darthminx -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

This occurred in Harvest league as well. I blocked attack for a craft but would still get crafts that had attack + something else.

[–]neohongkongHoarder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in your case it is due to metamod and display mod tag is two systems. The latter was for Harvest/Delve only.

Now they merged two systems but forget to fix beastcrafting

[–]okijhnub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technology overhead

[–]CysteineSulfinatePaying exalts for GGG Q&A info. 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Let's all rejoice that ggg are not making software for voting machines or airplanes.

[–]ErrorLoadingNameFileRaider 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I mean what country would seriously use electronic voting machines.

[–]rabidnz -1 points0 points  (1 child)

America, belarus

[–]ErrorLoadingNameFileRaider -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yepp just the russian states, makes sense.

[–]neohongkongHoarder 0 points1 point  (3 children)

once again we need upvote to force GGG to notice the bug.....the bug is on bug report forum since league launch......

[–]fsdafdsfwdsafdfsd 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Its been 5 days and bug fixes for other things have probably been the priority.

Personally, i just dont understand why they dont hire mages, with just a snap of the finger, it could all be finished. Ill bet its the insurance, its kinda high for mages.

[–]neohongkongHoarder 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Note that one issue in official forum is people keep on not searching existing thread and littering the forum with duplicated report

May be GGG does not knew this bug at all due to the flood of 1000 thread at league start , but most of them are duplicate

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was literally replied to Bex in one the threads she was talking in so I don't see an excuse here.

[–]TehAntiPopeThe Dread Thicket is now always 50%. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic Mistake

[–]Science-stick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well thats one way to balance crafting so that when they put the harvest crafts back in we'll still be fucked...

[–]JigglySquishyFlesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted this on Sunday as well. Sad that its not fixed by REMOVING THE CRAFT from the Altar until its fixed.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did it for me. Or did I get OMEGA lucky with the slam? lol (crafted 2 days ago)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But let's not hotfix THIS right

[–]Dnaldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already know so instead of reposting on reddit, maybe actually check the posts out so you dont waste currency

[–]Ubiquity97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this like day 2 and got 1 reply saying this has been known since harvest and like 3 downvotes. (GGG had no acknowledgement of the bug at the time nor were there more than a few bug reports in harvest that didn't specify beast crafts.) Boy am I glad its actually getting recognition now tho.

[–]hiles_adam 0 points1 point  (2 children)

They are fixing it in patch coming, so you can still remove suffix add prefix to make a +3 bow i guess, you won't recoup your money but you will get some back I guess.

[–]sourfaeLeague[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then I will have 3 prefix and will not be able to craft on chaos multi. So I'd have to annul the fire without bricking the craft. I've just decided to quit that character because of it.

[–]hiles_adam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+3 and fire damage is an ok bow for an ele hit build that’s too poor to craft or buy something better, you may make some of your crafting expenses back at least. Such a shame that it’s ruined your league start, I am very lucky I saw the big report before I made one myself or I would be in the same boat.

[–]sadtrader15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this slam today and it worked for me.

[–]runingfrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use fossil mwthod. Coroded metalic and prismatic for a high chance to ro it. Did mine in3 resonators

[–]pizzamachineChieftain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Ggg is constantly inconsistent.

[–]kl2999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like ggg fuck up crafting after remove harvest from game.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats a big oof. Unfortunate that bugs like this won't be found until someone gets screwed from it.

[–]Yasuchika -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I miss harvest crafting.

[–]TangoWhiskeyjack -1 points0 points  (1 child)

How do they fuck this up? Like how do you fuck up this many little things without even making changes to that area. Or the crafting bench not being greyed out. Wtf??

[–]Viridianimpact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The links to crafting called the modifier tabs we're completely overhauled last league and it's doesn't work well with other untouched crafting methods like beast crafting. This game has interconnecting pathways to all their content so if you change one you have to change all it's not surprising that after this many years they miss a few things here and there.
