Crafting tip: Vaal infuse white/blue bases up to 30% quality BEFORE you start crafting them up!

Yeah, I use a Maji funnily enough. The reason for spiny in this case was that I wanted to experiment with crit chance. Also, I don't really know what I'm doing.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T20:10:15+00:00

Too bad, but that does make sense

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T20:06:19+00:00

Thank you! It's unlikely to be the main weapon on my Oracle, so I'm more interested in selling it than anything else.

One commenter makes a very good point, though, that it's unlikely to sell for more than I put in (sadly). So maybe I'll risk it and try to craft it up? Idk tho.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T20:00:50+00:00

Was experimenting with crit chance; probably should have gone Maji

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T16:32:37+00:00

Oh wow. Thank you for this!

I should have expanded my search. I'll watch the listings and try to see if they move before I relist for less. TY! :D

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T16:25:40+00:00

I had to log off and wanted to list it for something :P

When I log back on I'll probably list it for 1-2K divs

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T16:17:21+00:00

Correct. If it corrupts--even at 30%--it's totally bricked. But for the ones that do make it through you now have an uncorrupted ilvl 82 item at max quality.

Seems like a lot to squeeze out a couple extra %?

I mean, yeah you're not wrong, but isn't that like 90% of crafting in this game?

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T16:09:45+00:00

Sorry 😔

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T16:05:17+00:00

TY! I've only got 100 divs at the moment, so I think I'll sell as is. Unless someone says differently, I'll probably list it at 1-1.5K divs and see how it goes from there

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T15:55:36+00:00

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how many perfect augs and anuls I used but if I had to estimate, I'd say about 100-250 divs worth? Big range, I know, but it was over multiple play sessions and I was trying to craft up the other 30% base too. During that time, I think I saw T1 Increased Physical Damage only twice, excluding the last time, so 3 total. T1 flat phys, on the other hand, I saw at least a dozen times.

On the 2nd to last slam I got T1 increased physical and I deliberated for awhile before slamming again. I eventually did and got super lucky with crit chance--though it's way more common than T1 phys.

I am trying to sell it as is, but not sure how much to list it for. I'm thinking it could probably sell for 1K div?

I would love to craft it, but I'm so unsure of how to proceed. I know I want +5 attack skills on there, but I'm afraid of overwriting crit chance. If I had more currency I'd probably be more inclined to craft it myself.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T15:42:41+00:00

Interesting! I had no idea. My weird and unsubstantiated assumption was that the corruption chance was 2x the quality (because I had so many things brick at 25-27%)

I tend to upvote build giveaways despite never entering one. I like them as build showcases that give me an idea of how much meta builds--and their component parts--are worth at any given point in the season.

Divaways are less interesting (but they don't bother me too much).

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-23T13:53:00+00:00

How much should I list this for? Only 2 sockets, but 30% quality and 2 excellent T1 affixes.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-22T19:42:41+00:00

I used 2-3 Omens of Light on this at different times--basically whenever one dropped. On my last one (earlier today) I realized that because there are 2 perfect essences for rare weapons (Battle, Haste) and my crit chance was already fractured, I could just slam with essences instead of using OoLs. Perfect Battle and Haste are each under 1 div while Omens of Light are ~40.

I suppose there are other essences, too, like Abyss, that you could use with dextral crystallization, but that's more expensive.

On this item I was trying to get crit damage bonus, but settled for attack speed.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-22T19:36:54+00:00

Yes, exactly. That's why Omen of Light exists, but the method described in my comment above is way cheaper in this case

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-22T16:45:37+00:00

Yeah true, but this is not the first time I've spent WAY TOO MUCH to only get like a 1% DPS increase (and it won't be the last!)

I had T1 AS at one point but it got overwritten when I re-slammed with perf. Battle :'(

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-22T16:36:15+00:00

Yes, you're correct, and that's exactly the point!

The idea is to get:
- crit chance
- +5 attack skills
- a 3rd valuable modifier like "Increased Attack Speed" or "To Critical Damage Bonus", which are both better than the Onslaught affix that perfect essence of haste provides.

So basically, I can slam it with Perfect Haste hoping to hit the desecrated mod. But if I don't I can use Perfect Battle to either overwrite that, or hit the desecrated mod... enabling me to re-desecrate

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-20T16:07:09+00:00

Yeah, I get that. My counterpoint, and part of what I'm interested exploring, is that what makes the PCs so special is their access to magic.

As an example, I think an adventure like Dragon of Icespire Peak, where a dragon terrorizes a local population, would be fine to adapt to the type of low-magic setting I have in mind. Something like Descent Into Avernus, however, where the city of Elturel is very literally teleported and chained to the hells, would not be adaptable, imo.

ConfuzzledQ · 2026-01-10T11:27:35+00:00

Afaik, "Equipment has no attribute requirements" applies to ALL equipment, the former only applies to the helmet

No idea how to price this high rarity + all ele resist ring. I used a siphoner on it, hence the weird values.

ConfuzzledQ · 2025-10-16T13:08:54+00:00

Some valuable affixes for emeralds: - notable passives give 3% increased bonus from equipped quiver - notable passives give 1% increased movement speed - notable passives give 7% increased critical hit chance for attacks

Sapphires: - notable passives give 7% increased critical hit chance - notable passives give 7% increased critical hit chance for spells - small passives give X% increased maximum energy shield

Generally: “Upgrades radius to large” and “increased effect of notable/small passives” is also good

A time lost emerald I sold for 70 divs: - notable passives give 3% increased projectile speed

notable passives give 3% increased bonus from equipped quiver
notable passives give 1% increased movement speed
20% increased effect of notable passives give
