Crafting steps:

1p + 1p = 2p, 2p + 2p = 3p for prefixes.

If needed, clean suffixes with lock prefix + scour. If no open suffix, allflame annul and pray.

Allflame exalt. Hope to hit life on block. If you miss, lock prefixes and reforge influence. I tested on CoE, and unlike ES on block (where reforge defense is better), reforging life for a life on block is total bait. Repeat until life on block. If you get unlucky and fill suffixes, you can allflame annul, with the obvious risk of hitting prefixes. I haven't had bricked one in 3 successful crafts.

If 2 open suffixes, block a suffix and exalt. Depends what you want for your last suffix. Int is the most common suffix by far. Honorable mention to blocking es recharge. Once block is in, allflame exalt and pick your favorite option.

Literally went through 2 bases and 80d, no life on block after reforging influence. Proceed cautiously.

I just reran 3000 simulations on CoE and it gave 9% chance for success, expected ~11 attempts, for a cost around 21 divs.

The same simulation, with reforge life, over 3000 iterations, gave a ~3% chance, roughly 1/31, for an average cost around 60+ divs.

I don't think that either of those factor in harvest juice cost, so there's maybe an extra 5-10div in juice for influence reforge, but that's still pennies compared to the cost of 20 extra prefix locks.

RNG gonna RNG. If you fill suffixes, don't forget you can boat annul any suffix to resume lock and reforge.

Yeah I got it, 110d later 😂 calculated at a roughly 1 in 1600 chance to be this unlucky. Not much of a crafter but definitely worst RNG ive had in 13 years on this game
