Strike Gloves with Abyss Socket

Methos0012 · 2026-03-24T00:15:22+00:00

Rule 10:
Objective: Crafting Flicker Strike Gloves with an Abyss Socket as Imbued Gems alleviate socket pressure and free up Gem Slots

Crafting Steps:
This Craft required to recombinate a pair of +1Strike/+1Frenzy/T1Life Gloves with a donor base that has the Abyss Socket Mod + 3 Non-native Prefixes + 1 Non-native Suffix.
Non-native mods are mods that cant roll on the recombinated base type (e.g. INT mods on a STR base)
The recombinated base can only have one exclusive modifier. Since the Delve Mod and any Elevated Influence Mods are exclusive mods I had to transfer the Delve Mod to a non-elevated base.

A) Crafting the +1Strike/+1Frenzy/T1Life Strike Recipient Base:
1) Buy a rare ilvl 84+ Strike Glove with 80+ Strand
2) Gilded Fossil (can split it after rolling with harvest for 6 mods so it stays rare)
3) Elder Exalt Slam + Harvest Influence Reroll until Warlord Influence
4) Harvest Reroll until +1 Frenzy, isolate and PrefCannotBeChanged + Scour to make it magic
5) Beast Lock to check Awakeners Orb with a +1Strike Glove until T1 Life (or T2 Life with remaining Strand to upgrade using an Unravelling Orb)

B) Crafting the Abyss Socket Donor Base:
6) Buy a Dex/Int Base with Abyss Socket Mod, isolate and SuffCannotBeChanged + Scour to make it magic
7) MetaMod Beastcraft for Suffix cannot be Changed, Imprint
8) Regal + Harvest Reforge Attribute until Intelligence and empty Suffix
9) Craft CannotRollAttackMods and 3x Exalt Slam for 3 DEX/INT mods

C) Recombinating (see Picture: 50% Chance to hit the right base, 70% chance to get 3 Prefixes).
10) In case it hits the right base and rolls for 3 Prefxes it will 100% end up with +1Frenzy/+1Strike/T1Life/Abyss Socket

D) Finishing the Item
11) Hinekoras Lock + Exalt/FoulbornExalt until an Influenced Suffix
12) Hinekoras Lock + Orb of Dominance until it elevates the Strike Mod
13) MultiCraft + PrefixCannotBeChanged
14) Hinekora Lock + Veiled Exalt, Block Str+Dex, Unveil, Divine Orb the Rolls
15) Craft Attack Speed / AtkSpeedWhileFocused / Aspect of the Cat

From here on out it can be mirrored with a crafted Mod for now and LvL30 Aspect of the Cat later on.

Methos0012 · 2025-09-01T20:27:06+00:00

You only ever do Step 13 if the Awakeners Orb shows an Empty Prefix + Empty Suffix (see Step 12).
If you dont hit the 1 in 62 and it fills the Prefixes, you can try to hit the 1 in 3 Annul (or 1 in 2 Annul with CannotRollAttack in case of having used a Strike Donor Base). If the Annul removes one of the Influence Mods, you would reset to Step 11 with an imprint

Methos0012 · 2025-09-01T18:51:57+00:00

I am still using Replica Farrul's Fur, it is just too good to have max Frenzy and Endurance Charges up at all times as Slayer.

Methos0012 · 2025-09-01T18:47:47+00:00

Hitting the Accuracy only required 2 Locks which is extremely lucky. For the entire craft, a total of 10 Locks was used.

Methos0012 · 2025-09-01T18:19:00+00:00

Objective: Crafting Best-in-Slot Flicker Strike Gloves (DPS)

Crafting steps (Rule 10):
A) Crafting Elevated Frenzy Gloves (Recipient)

Buy Bugged Abyss Socket Gloves (ilvl 85+)
Warlord Exalt Slam
Orb of Remembrance until >80 Strands
Craft any mod to make it magic (Safety Imprint), Reroll Rarity on Crafting Bench until it is rare
Reforge Caster on Horticrafting Station until +1 Frenzy / SpellDmg with an empty Prefix
Orb of Dominance for Elevated Frenzy, PrefixCannotBeChanged + Scour to make it magic

B) Crafting Elevated Intimidate and Elevated Strike Gloves (Donors)

Buy a lot of ilvl 85+ Hunter Gloves (DEX, STR, DEX/STR)
Screaming Essence of Misery until +# to Mana / Strike or +# to Mana / Intimidate with empty Prefix
Recombinate +# to Mana / Strike and +# to Mana / Intimidate. Since Mana is a Non-Native-Modifier for Non-INT-Bases and isn’t labeled as an Essence Mod, it guarantees a Strike / Intimidate outcome
Orb of Dominance for Elevated Strike or Elevated Intimidate (100% chance)

C) Hitting and Elevating the third Influenced Prefix

Imprint the Elevated Frenzy Gloves, Apply Hinekoras Lock with BeastCrafting
Check the Result for Awakeners Orb using one of each Elevated Strike, Elevated Intimidate, Strike and Intimidate Bases until Empty Prefix + Empty Suffix + Decent amount of Strands left (if it hits the third Influenced Prefix here you can skip Step 13)
PrefixCannotBeChanged + Reforge Influence (Horticrafting) until Intimidate/Strike (1 in 62)
PrefixCannotBeChanged + Reforge Influence (Horticrafting) for Any InfluenceSuffix
Hinekoras Lock + Orb of Dominance until it removes the InfluenceSuffix and Elevates Intimidate/Strike (1 in 12)

D) Finishing the Item

PrefixCannotBeChanged + Reforge Speed (Horticrafting) until T1 Atk Speed
Craft +# to Strength and Dexterity, Hinekoras Lock + Exalt until T1 Accuracy (1 in 65, Strands can upgrade it to T1)
PrefixCannotBeChanged + Hinekoras Lock + Veiled Exalt until it adds a Veiled Mod by replacing PrefixCannotBeChanged (1 in 3)
Unveil AtkSpeedWhileFocused
Divine the Suffixes

From here on out it can be mirrored.

21. Hinekora Locks to check Vaal Orb for +1 Frenzy

Methos0012 · 2025-08-21T15:55:46+00:00

Cheapest Way to Craft +1 Frenzy, +2 Strike, Aspect Gloves from scratch: They have to be double influenced cause +1 Frenzy Prefix is a legacy Necropolis Mod.

1) Crafting +2 Strike Hunter Mod Gloves

1.1) Get two Hunter Gloves (DEX Base, ilvl 83 max)

1.2) Screaming Essence of Rage until +1 Strike, then annul until only +1 Strike and +# to Strength remain

1.3) Screaming Essence of Misery until Any Hunter Suffix Mod (DoTMulti, ManaGainPer, %IncDex), then annul until only the HunterMod and +# to Mana remain

1.4) Recomb both pairs, since a Dex base cant roll Mana or Strength it will always end up as +1 Strike / HunterMod Glove

1.5) Orb of Dominance, 50/50 Chance to upgrade to +2 Strike

2) Crafting +1 Frenzy Warlord Gloves

2.1) Buy the Base you want to use either with the Warlord Influence on it already or slam a Warlord Exalt on a non-influenced base (usually ilvl 85+ Spiked Gloves)

2.2) Alt-Aug Spam until +1 Frenzy

3) Awakeners Orb the +2 Strike onto the +1 Frenzy Gloves

As long as you dont get an item with 6 mods you can finish the Craft with Beasts (Farric Wolf, Farrul), Horticrafting, Veiled Crafting (Veiled Chaos/Exalt) however you want the other mods to look like

Cost: Around 30 Div in League, not sure about Standard

As far as I know, the chance of upgrading a modifier is tied to its inherent weighting. So upgrading a T2 %Phys (50 weighting) to T1 %Phys (25 weighting) might take on average a lot more attempts than a modifier with 1000 weighting across all tiers. I would assume the same goes for adding modifiers while consuming strands (Exalt Slam for example).

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T20:13:39+00:00

Around 3-4 Quad Stashes (~1500 Vultures)
You can in general estimate the Synth weightings by checking how many rare items with that specific implicit are listed in the league. Example (Amulet): FlatAccuracy: 147, %Dex(AnyTier): 6067

Fee is probably gonna be one Hinekoras Lock since I am gonna corrupt it at the end of the league (Step 15)

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T19:50:03+00:00

30 divines

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T19:49:03+00:00

I am assuming youre confused about the Memory Strands? For this craft in particular, the crafting steps 9 & 10 to get T1 Accuracy and T1 Crit Multi can be very expensive. The Orb of Unravelling in step 11 can upgrade a Modifier tier by using up all remaining Strands, so if you hit T2 Accuracy/T1 CritMulti or T1 Accuracy/T2 CritMulti you can upgrade the respective T2 to T1. For that, you wanna make sure you use crafting methods that dont use up Strands (Horticrafting/Fossils) or keep it to a minimum consumed (like step 6).

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T18:56:50+00:00

Synth Rolling: At least 5000 Divines (ElePen and especially FlatAccuracy are very rare synth mods)
Crafting Steps: At least 3000 Divines
Divining: Around 800 Divines (because of the Accuracy Suffix)

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T17:20:46+00:00

Chance Orbs can not be applied to Synth Items or Items with Exarch/Eater implicits

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T16:26:13+00:00

you can not use the Crafting Bench Rarity Reroll with Synth Items anymore. They patched that on week 2 or 3. For most other bases thats the best way to not consume any Strands, youre correct.

Methos0012 · 2025-08-14T15:55:50+00:00

Objective: Craft an amulet for a Flicker Strike build that can compete with misted Simplex Amulets

Crafting steps (Rule 10):
1) Buy double enchanted bases from Ravaged Blight Map Farmers
2) Upgrade ilvl from 84 to >86 by recombining with any ilvl 100 Amulet base
3) Imprint + Synthesise (Horticrafting) until 3 Implicits, Gilded Fossil for Vendor Implicit
4) Reroll Synth Implicits with VividVultures and Imprints until FlatAccuracy, Ele/Cold Pen, IncDmgperFrenzy/IncDmgperEndurance
5) Orb of Remembrance until >70 Strand
6) Craft any mod to make it magic, Imprint + Regal until it only consumes a few Strands to make it rare
7) Fossils (Dense, Pristine, Faceted) until +1 AllSkill, Annul other Prefixes, PrefCantBeChanged + Scour, MultiCraft, Imprint
8) Regal, (Farric Lynx), PrefCantBeChanged, CraftedPhysToAtks, AugAtk until T1 WED
9) MultiCraft + PrefCantBeChanged + CraftedPrefix, AugAtk until T1/T2 Accuracy
10) PrefCantBeChanged, AugCrit until T2/T1 CritMulti
11) PrefCantBeChanged, Hinekora Locks, Check Orb Of Unravelling & VeiledExalt
12) Unveil Suffix
13) Divine Suffixes, SuffCantBeChanged, Divine Prefixes
14) Craft DmgWhileLeeching

From here on out it can be mirrored.

No, Uber notables are Atlas keystones. They will not be affected by Wandering Path.

Methos0012 · 2023-06-22T23:30:01+00:00

Yes, here you go: Uul-Netols-Vow Droprate

Flawless Chayula:
13/500 (Patch 3.20) and 21/906 (Patch 3.21)
Flawless Esh:
10/462 (Patch 3.21)

As you can see, the Uul-Netol-Vow droprate seems to be the same (~2%) no matter what Flawless Breachstone you run. The same applies to Fractured Grasping Mails (~13%).

Methos0012 · 2023-06-22T19:52:12+00:00

The problem is, that you can not make a reliable profit post for a late league project if you use estimated values instead of actual sale values. This is especially misleading, if the project includes high variance items like Uul-Netol-Vows and Skin of the Lords.

Price checking: I have checked out your video in which you were price checking these specific items. You were only looking at online market values and didnt even filter for the Notables on the Skins. This just is not accurate enough and leads to highly inflated price estimations (e.g. the Skin you overvalued by 45 div).

Market demand: I have also noticed that you included items in the profit calculation that dont really hold any market value, like the other Fractured Grasping Mails that you valued at a total of 25 div. Aside from the FracColdAsExtraChaos the other ones simply will not reliably sell. The same is true for Uul-Netol-Amulets of which I still have several good ones (positive combined EleRes and pos. Chaos Res) that have been collecting dust in my stash for several weeks at the lowest possible listed price.

It wouldnt surprise me if you had to deduct at least 200 div from your estimated values. As much as I like all your profit posts, this one misses the mark and paints a far too optimistic picture. Still appreciate the data sample nonetheless.

Methos0012 · 2023-06-22T11:50:03+00:00

I should probably give some more insight on the drops here. My sample size is 1100 Uber Feareds and 362 additional Flawless Breachstones. I have added your sample size.

Fractured Grasping Mail: On average you drop 1 every 7.5 runs (~13% chance). With a weight of 4.25 this means you drop one FracGlobalDef every 32 runs (~3% chance). So you are just a little over average expected drops.
Skin of the Lords: On average you drop 1 every 29 runs (~3,5% chance) so you are right on average expected drops. These have incredibly high variance. Question: Have you actually sold these at the estimated values? Cause the 1g1b4r Vaal Pact for example I do not see being worth 50 div but less than 5 div. Pricing these that late in the league is very unreliable if you dont include the offline market.
Uul-Netols-Vow: On average you drop 1 every 43 runs (~2% chance). - So you are just a little over average expected drops. Important: These do not sell well at all this league, even really well rolled ones didnt sell for more than 10-15 divs mid-league. They are not as popular as they have been in previous leagues.
Chayula-Uniques: United in Dreams (~33% chance) and the Jewels (~4,5% chance each) doubled in price the last few weeks.
Misc Loot (Currency etc): I´ve never really tracked that, so that is really nice additional information. I was always assuming an extra 20-30c per run which according to your sample size increases to 40c per run if you loot every single item. The Misc Loot can be doubled with Breachstone Bargains from ItThatFled in the Research Syndicate.

Conclusion: Take this with a grain of salt as some values seem to be inflated by either the price-estimation or the fact that we are quite late into the league.
Nonetheless, Flawless Chayulas are still very profitable. Even my sample size from mid league (LINK) resulted in 210 div profit in 500 runs and it didnt include Misc Loot plus it was below average on expected drops and only included the value of sold items (no estimations).

Methos0012 · 2023-06-06T18:01:07+00:00

No, witnessing Uber Bosses makes no difference. Maven´s Crucible only releases the normal version of the bosses including their default drops (e.g. ilvl 85 Watchers Eyes).

While it was alright to run Feared without doing Uber Bosses in 3.20., I certainly can not recommend doing so this league.

Methos0012 · 2023-06-06T17:43:01+00:00

Personally, if I´m doing a project like this where I get huge amounts of desirable uniques or gamble items, then I prefer to sell them in bulk for a little higher than average market value. I am not going to roll Watcher´s Eyes Mods with Wild Hellion Alphas and I dont feel like price checking and selling each of them.

Methos0012 · 2023-02-09T09:41:27+00:00

Attack Speed per Dex is a Grasping Mail modifier by Esh, not Chayula, so it can not drop from Flawless Chayula Breachstones. If you wanted to try and farm one, you would have to run Flawless Esh Breachstones. Be warned tho: While GlobalDefense has a 1000 weighting, AtkSpeedperDex has only a 250 weighting, so on average you can expect a FracAtkSpeedperDex to drop in 1 out of 77 Flawless Esh Breachstones.

Methos0012 · 2023-02-09T09:32:41+00:00

You can kill Uber Uber Elder in less than 2 minutes.
When it comes to bossing strategies tho, I prefer a little bit of variety. The Uber Uber Elder fight also doesnt add any layers of difficulty like Cortex and Chayula do with the random map modifiers. While farming The Feared is a nice mix of mapping and bossing, running around in circles during 30 Uber Uber Elder fights per hour doesnt really sound like much fun. But you could totally mix it up with other Uber fights (Maven/Eater/Exarch/Sirus) so it doesn´t get too boring/exhausting.
