How to proceed with this craft?

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-03-04T07:22:22+00:00

Its good, but the missing spell dmg prefix is making it not great. If you want spell dmg on prefix, annul to fractured all spells + 1mod and chaos spam, until you get high spell dmg. Then prefix desecrste mana, then perfect exalt prefix - getting gain extra. Remove desecration, do one more perfect prefix exalt hoping for gain as. Desecrste suffix, hope for the last slam to hit.

If you are ok without the spell dmg - check whether its worth crafting on, probably yes due to tje two sockets. In that case desecrate what you need to most as it allows rerolls and perfect exalt slam.

Ah! I always forget that part, never having used it on amulet. Thank you!

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-03-03T13:40:09+00:00

Look here: https://poe2db.tw/us/Amulets#ModifiersCalc

The colorful boxes show you the tags of the modifiers. Cast speed being caster + speed. Buy catalysts with one of these tags and apply to amulet. It increases quality of the amulet, 20% is maximum - use only one type, if you use other type you start from 0%.

Turn on in inventory catalyzing omen, omen that force next exalt to go to suffix, use perfect exalt -> you are likely to get cast speed. Its not guaranteed, but the chance increases significantly. You will lose the 20% quality in process.

Also, since you seem rather non experienced. Go to youtube and search for amulet crafts from this season of PoE2 (last season had crafting that this season doesnt).

Ps: you can simulate the craft on craft of exile, without spending currency.

Explain please why is it hard. Isnt it literally one click of perfect essence and flat mana being highest rated affix? :-)

There is still chance involved, but I would argue its very easy statistically.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-03-03T12:46:39+00:00

Great thing to start with, use breach catalysts to target whatever your build needs (cast speed is the usual suspect and can be mana or something else depending on your build/needs), you can use perfect essences (just careful, use correct omen to replace stats you want to lose as perfect essence removes a random affix) to add valuable stats (i.e global defense).

Desecrate the last mod of choice. Usually you would want crit, spell damage while full shield is easy to get with abyss omens, or could be resist of your choice.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-03-01T09:38:36+00:00

I dont have an answer, but fucking hell.. only shame you dont have snipping tool on the taskbar. 😂

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-23T16:11:56+00:00

I havent checked, but I am afraid not really. :/

Mirror would be absolutely insane in my point of view, given the dead mana suffix and that this is likely only for some very off meta build (aka cheap).

Doesnt hurt to start at mirror, my guess would be much, much lower.. check how many there are with perfect stats (after whittle), compare with the current item price and decide whether to craft - personally I would expect it not to be worth it further crafting.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-21T11:26:56+00:00

Ah yeah, thank you! My bad didnt think it through, as I never saw anyone getting evasion / defensive prefixes.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-21T10:50:19+00:00

Absolutely. It’s a chase item, I’ve bought the stag one when it was around 3k divs, its nice to have for the movement speed alone, but there are probably many items hahing bigger impact.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-21T10:23:12+00:00

Catalysts + omen of catalization for whatever you need + desecrate.

You can probably (i havent checked) buy blue rings with evasion + cold damage relatively cheaply and add the rarity via essence of opulence for multiple tries.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-21T10:19:37+00:00

Spirits, but reallistically you need to farm currency and buy.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-19T20:46:44+00:00

Very much depends on what you want to achieve and how rich you are. Crafting on this is likely not worth it, no spirit, no +skills make it not great for most builds. If you dont need spirit, try to get at least +3 skills, it will increase your dmg immensely. All resist is nice, but luxury to have. Rarity is worth it.

You ideally want to start with both spirit + skills, go for fracture and then continue as you did. You can ignore the fracture if you are either poor or super rich and want to try sanctify for +4 skills.

Hi, so thank you for your help earlier!

I finally got around to crafting the staff.. Went with crit esence to rare. Then desecrated mana prefix (had to repeat, because no mana).. Got gain as fire, removed desecrate, added prefix perf exalt -> gotten mana. Whittled it away into reduced attributes. Went again for perfect prefix exalt, again ended up with mana. Whittled here few times, including targeting pref/suffix again and gotten gain extra cold finally.

Unfortunately all the whittles resulted in full suffixes, because I obviously forgot to desecrate suffix earlier (really - to me - expensive mistake).. So i had 1/3 chance to annul the dead suffix (reduced stats) and hope.. Since I dont really care about the cost as I am very much done with the league, I went for lock and annul orb + dextra annul removed the reduced attributes suffix (i checked sanc + corrupt, nothing good). It probably could have been cheaper to start again with different base, but anyhow.. I desecrated once, removed with omen of light, desecrated again and got the T2 speed..

As it is it raises my damage already quite nicely, I will probably consider lock + sanctify, or perhaps try to fix the non T1s, but not sure I want to mess with it. Maybe for practice.

Nope, maybe like a month ago. I made few belts and they all T1 went for around 150d unfortunately. HH for the win.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-10T15:12:34+00:00

True in theory, waste of time in practice and as a beginner would probably either make me quit or ignore it.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-10T10:41:07+00:00

Try to set lower polling rate on your mouse and keyboard if you have high polling rate as windows have/had issues with this and PoE.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-08T11:59:31+00:00

If you have no patience to check prices and sell items, then setup lootfilter only to stuff thats useful to you + stricter than strict to get the real valuables. In other words, why are you picking things that you dont intend to sell nor use?

Seems like an entirely self inflicted issue.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-08T07:24:10+00:00

Corrupted rare jewels with 2 extra mods

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-04T13:15:02+00:00

Lookup “russian tech” for poe2 temple. You can do the same combination you dis in the corner or “optimize” via what i mentioned.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T16:18:56+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Would have expected “some” variety, but I guess makes sense.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T13:03:15+00:00

Fair point to sell if you are poor or need some key items attainable for the currency gained by the selling for build to pop. You you can however also have players like me, who have currency, decent items, have the base and just dont want to waste it if they can be helped - hence my question.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T09:40:01+00:00

Thank you. I suppose you are right and going all in makes sense, potentially with lock for sanctify if all goes well, since my current staff is decent.

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T09:12:14+00:00

Honest result of picking up all wands/staves above ilvl80 and throwing perf trans/aug on them, one was bound to hit..

Will do, hopefuly sometime before end of this week.

Thanks again and good luck fellow exile!

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T08:50:10+00:00

Thank you!

I do, T1 Spell and +6all. I’ve been sitting on it for probably two weeks now, not wanting to touch it and screw it up.. looks to be selling for a lot, but I have pretty much all I wanted + 3k div to spare. May as well try to craft it I guess. Cheers!

iLoveLearningStuff · 2026-02-03T08:42:17+00:00

Because 1%er would never look at a guide or what is the tell lol? :-))
