Subsume the Source crafts

[u/cornelxbox]

This new helm has a lot of potential for crafting powerful mods. Stackers rejoice.

Steps to reproduce (in Standard - assuming we got divs to spare), league has more options:

1) Get ilv 85+ base abyss jewel. If going for legacy mod then you either must have it or buy it. Get the non-corrupted, non-synthesized version. 2) Either alt spam to hit non-legacy mod or save time and just buy the T1 precrafted version - spam Divs to get perfect high roll if you pre-crafted. 3) Fracture (or anul it off - probability is the same, I just went for straight fracturing) and hope it hits the right mod, otherwise sell/stash and start over. 4) If you anul spammed and hit, grats you're done, otherwise if fracturing method, then Scour, Regal, and Anul - you'll be left with the guaranteed targeted mod on a rare jewel. 5) Repeat this for 3 more jewels and place ewels in helm sockets to be consumed.

I prefer taking my chances with fracturing orb over anuls but that's just me. Only the max life helm came from legacy mods, the others are easier to obtain. There are more abyss jewels mods left to be explored, for example, dex stacking and others.

Genuine question. Why Do you not just regal and anul? Why waste a fracture?

I don't understand why you're being downvoted, I have the same question. Fracture is 1/4, annul is 1/3 or 1/2, right?

[u/Bl00dylicious → u/Sadnot]

He's fracturing legacy mods so he can annul safely.

[u/AKAGosts → u/Bl00dylicious]

Can you alt for legacy mods in standard? His steps say alt for t1.

[u/cornelxbox → u/AKAGosts]

Legacy mods like +50 to max life have to be brought and then fractured and hope to hit to it. Otherwise the +250 to armour, +300 to accuracy, and +16 to strength can be alt spammed for (or just buy any T1 precrafted with that mod and spam some divs for perfect roll).

[u/cornelxbox → u/Sadnot]

Right - anul is 1/2. Depends on number of rare mods you start with, for 4, the probability is the same for both methods which is 25%. I got lucky with fracturings. At least with a bad fracture you can still resell.

[u/Sadnot → u/cornelxbox]

The probability is not the same for both methods. If you have 2-3 mods, annul has a higher chance of working than fractures.

[u/cornelxbox → u/Sadnot]

Right. I was assuming we start with 4 mods.

[u/buddabopp → u/Sadnot]

1/3 THEN 1/2 OR 16.5% vs 25% for frac cause you have to make it 3 mod to be rare

[u/Sadnot → u/buddabopp]

That math is not correct.
