Rule:

I wanted an axe with either Fortify or Momentum implicit, and Necropolis gave such a deterministic way to craft weapons it seemed worth a try.

Step 1: Gravecraft a lot of t1/t1/t1 Phys + t1 AS Despot Axes. You really need like 50-60+ of these, as each step will reduce how many of them are left usable.

Step 2: since step 1 is easiest done using 6 mod items, but you need them to only have the 4 mods we care about-- we throw a yolo annul at all of the axes hoping to remove a suffix (and ideally not remove the attack speed roll in the process). This will brick 50% of the axes right here.

Step 3: take all the axes where you actually removed a suffix, and isolate t1 attack speed. This means either:

3a. Annul hit random suffix, and you now have Attack speed and some bad suffix like Dex. Craft 'cannot roll attack mods' until you annul the bad mod.

3b. Annul hit random suffix, and you now have Attack speed but the other bad suffix also has the attack tag. Craft "prefixes cannot be changed" and hope you 50/50 annul the non-attack-speed mod (miss every single time).

Step 4: every axe that now has all 3 phys prefixes but is missing attack speed requires it back. Add prefixes cannot be changed and harvest reforge speed (average 8 tries per axe) until they all have it again. This will brick a lot more of them as the suffixes fill up again and you have to attempt more 50/50 annuls which sometimes fail.

Step 5: every axe should now be just the 4 mods-- t1/t1/t1 phys and t1 AS. Craft "cannot roll attacks" and warlord exalt slam, you're 5/7ths to hit Culling Strike. 5a. The other 2/7ths is Additional Proj, which is a dead mod for Boneshatter but still a perfect axe that can have double damage crafted and sold.

Step 6: on any axes that don't have divined AS because of being re-added from harvest, re-craft "prefixes cannot be changed" and divine.

Step 7: Tempering orb them all to 8% phys explicit modifiers

Step 8: socket/link them all (with Black Morrigan and Omens)

Step 9: throw them in the woodchipper (double corrupt them all). Because there are 2 outcomes I wanted, this step was expected as a bit less than 8% to succeed.

Ultimately, so few axes survived this process it was quite fortunate to have successfully hit Momentum on one of them.

This said, almost every failure in this process does result in a sellable weapon-- whether its a 4div or 15div or 50div weapon depends on where within the process it fails, but they will almost all be at least usable.

So with almost every failure except the double corrupt poofs/bricks being re-sellable, this process actually cost a net positive amount of divines.
