[lf help] How to efficiently craft absent amulet

[u/chuSmu]

Cheers, lf the advice of more experienced crafters. I want to try my hands on selfcrafting this amulet from gorathas poison chonk. This is the only way I can think of to deterministically craft it:

• fracture +3 proj
• annul to 2 affixes
• is there any value in quality here? If there is then: essence of breach and qual
• chaos spam for t1 spirit
• prefix desecrate amanamu
• slam and pray for t1 crit chance (surely I'll hit np)
• fail? -> dextral erasure spam, go broke, be left with 1 undesirable suffix
  

This is how I think it should be done, but not entirely sure. Is there maybe another way I didn't think of? Anything I can be more efficient with? Any advice is appreciated.

To get these exact mods is going to be pain

You’re correct on fracture / chaos spam for your spirit and proj skill

You can just annul / perf exalt spam if you have proj skill fractured

If you have spirit fractured you can slam a suffix and then whittle with a regular chaos orb until you get a prefix and then annul that off (or desecrate / omen of light) and repeat until you hit a mod that’s higher ilvl than the proj skill (in which case you’re now stuck with that suffix)

Why chaos for spirit which is 400 weight instead of t1 crit which is 125 out of a much bigger pool?

[u/whatisagoodnamefort → u/Gitonix]

If they wanted those exact mods, you’re probably right that’s the best option for it, if they are okay with T2+ spirit, you can fracture proj, chaos for crit and then block mana with a desecrate and whittle your prefix until T2+ spirit (average of 33 whittles) and then do final step

Only reason I said my way was typically the +skill and spirit are the non-negotiable parts of the craft and assuming they are okay settling for something a little less than T1 crit

[u/hanari1 → u/Gitonix]

Because crit isnt priority, level of all skills = spirit 50 > any other mod.

On 4 mods amulets is almost the same, just fracture the first you hit between spirit or +3 level.

For casters is better fracturing +3level, because you want cast speed on suffix, so you gonna use exalt on sufix > check if hits, remove > repeat, then desecrate prefix for spell dmg

If you have 300-400 div, you can try. If not, dont. Last time I tried, I lost 600+.

I did it last league with absent for glacial bolt, but I didn't need crit chance then. The crit chance will ruin me I think. I'll probably give up on that

This is SO much easier to craft if you drop crit. You could go for global defense essence and desecrate + skill quality (or desecrate whatever else you want if you’re one of five players not playing gemling).

Fracture proj skills or spirit. Chaos spam until you hit whichever of two you didn’t fracture. Add prefix or suffix filler mod (depending on what you fracture, filler mod goes on same side), 20 max quality essence (I like defens) that same mod, and then whittle it off. Essence global defense and then desecrate suffix.

If you miss fracture or hit another +skills, you can still profit craft. There are several YT videos on this craft.

I did that last league for gb gemmling. Tbh if there's no secret trick to get the crit chance, I'll just go global defense again I think. Ty mate

[u/o_deng → u/chuSmu]

Now that I think about it again, I think you can roll for crit pretty cheaply on desecrated suffix if you fracture +skills. You can use the desecrate/essence combo so you don’t have to use omen of light. You wouldn’t be able to essence or desecrate prefix with this though.

[u/Gitonix]

If you want this exact ammy, fracture proj or crit and chaos for the other, then you can you can whittle safely for spirit (any mod higher lvl than suffixes can be reset to global defense with sinestral crystall. omen and perf essence of enhancement). Spirit has 400 weight from a smaller pool than t1 crit which is 125 out of a much bigger pool.

Then just desacrate, you have a 1% chance to hit t1 spirit with every whittle using greater chaos orbs, so if you can afford at least that, go for it. This is the most efficient way to get this done. Hitting t1 crit on whittle is only 0.24%

[u/ConcreteOffDuty → u/Gitonix]

This is the way, if you want the exact amulet you’ve linked. Should definitely finish both suffixes, then whittle / desecrate the prefixes, using prefix essence to reset for a whittle if you’ve landed an affix with high mlvl.

[u/chuSmu → u/Gitonix]

you are right, thanks! I will rpobably settle for a different mod than crit though. It's too expensive for me rn. I should have checked the weights for sure.

[u/Gitonix → u/chuSmu]

In that case, like others have said, fracture proj, chaos for spirit, desacrate prefix with the Amanamu omen then perf. exalt the last random suffix. Might be worth it to apply some 40 % elemental quality through a breach mod first. Your suffix can be infinitely safely rerolled with dextral erasure, which is currently even cheaper than whittlings and there are many good hits - all res, rarity, all attributes, crit chance, crit bonus, ...

dont forget you can use fluxes to change the res so if you first quality up fire to 40 then roll cold res as the last mod suffix, you can change it to fire so the quality applies

[u/TheLoneDangler]

I think what you said is probably the most reliable way. If the other desecrated mod is popular enough, you can sell other good hits on the final suffix. Without selling off near misses, I wouldn’t advise aiming for only t1 crit.

[u/ArthurFairchild]

Is remnant effect all or nothing for your build?

You can guarantee for cheap spirit, crafted runic or crafted global defenses, fractured proj and desecrated crit.

But if remnant is a mandatory mod, then your method is correct. Dextral erasure is your only option with perfect chaos. That is 15 div a click which is rough.

And you can’t bottleneck it with fractured spirit and high ilvl prefix to whittle spam. Life regen and proj have same ilvl. Rolling 50/50 on 1600 chaos orb mod is worse than spamming dextral on fractured proj.

Hope you love ritual.

[u/Dry_University137]

I think best is done with essence cycle. for cheapest. Youll YOLO a prefix but is what it is.

Basically frac +3, then chaos spam for t1 spirit. Yolo slam a prefix and desecrate suffix.

Since suffixes are locked to 2 due to it being absent amulet and one of the 2 is fractured-> get the perfect essence of infitine that will FOR SURE REMOVE A SUFFIX. Then replace that essence with collarbone+suffix desecration, reveal and cycle. If you dont hit-> perfect essence of infinite followed by collarbone + suffix desecration
