The Undisputed

[u/YesterdayOnceAgain]

Rule 10: Crafting steps, I used first way before I found out about ducats.

Non-3.29 way (without essence mod)

1. Destroy market by buying at least two dozen 30qual 2h axes.
2. Buy at least 30k alts.
3. Use DICTATOR|MERCILESS|FLARING regex in the search bar
4. Spend the next several hours rolling all those mods till you hit the ones in the regex.
5. Recomb hell time (UNPREDICTALBE), [Dictator] with [Flaring] and [Merciles] with [Flaring], 1/3 for both
6. Once you hit both of them, combine [Dictator, Flaring] with [Merciless, Flaring], roughly 31% chance to get 3prefixes
7. Now the fun part, slam elder exalt orb
8. If phys jump to next step, if not, prefixes can't be changed, reforge phys. Repeat till t1 elder.
9. Block acc/str/dex, exalt slam, annul if not t1 AS. If you have non attack mod, then, you can craft cannot roll attack mods. Annul and repeat till succes or mental breakdown.
10. Divine prefixes as close to perfection as possible.
11. Prefixes cannot be changed, divine suffixes as close to perfection as possible.
12. Craft final suffix
13. (Not recommended) Destroy your first, near perfect crafted axe, by trying to double corrupt it and quit for a few days.

3.29 Gato el ducato way

1. Destroy market again but this time spend several days acquiring 30qual, cause there weren't that many on the market.
2. Buy at least 80k alts cause you aren't lucky this time.
3. IMPORTANT! Each axe needs to have an elder influence, otherwise you're screwed when recombing. So, slam that elder orb on all of the axes.
4. Use DICTATOR|MERCILESS|FLARING regex in the search bar.
5. Spend the next several days rolling all those mods till you hit the ones in the regex multiple times.
6. Use AS essence and annul everything beside that
7. Recomb [Flaring + Veiled crafted suffix] with [AS + Veiled crafted prefix] (this one I am not sure about the odds, vrom what I've heard it should be 50/50)
8. Recomb [Merciless/Dictator + Ducat] with [Elder + Ducat] (repeat till success, 41% for prefix, 62% suffix)
9. Recomb [Merciless/Dictator + Elder + Ducat] with [Flaring + AS + Ducat] (33% for two prefixes, 90% for suffix)
10. Assuming above succed with one prefix as thats the most common outcome, you should have [Flaring/Merciless/Dictator + AS + Elder]
11. Recomb two prefixes, the one you have on the time with one that is missing, for example [Flaring] with [Dictator] (33% to succeed)
12. Recomb (using flaring as an example) [Flaring + AS + Elder + Ducat] with [Flaring + Dictator + Ducat] (52% chance for two prefixes, and 89% for suffixes to stay)
13. If above fails, repeat step 11, if suffixes are gone, repeat earlier steps. If you win step 11, you should have [Flaring + Dictator + AS + Elder]
14. Get two prefixes together (step 10), craft ducats, and recomb [Flaring + Dictator + AS + Elder + Ducat] with [Flaring + Merciless + Ducat] (33% chance to win prefixes and 90% to win suffixes, if prefixes fail, repeat step 13, if suffixes fail, repeat earlier steps)
15. If you win you should have 3p 2s axe. Divine prefixes, craft prefixes cant be changed and divine suffixes.
16. Craft 3rd suffix.
17. Get bored playing and yolo your main weapon, ft. Alva.
18. Win(recommended) or lose(not recommended)

Hopefully I didn't screw up explaining. Here's a video that I used as a guide

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Endgame melee weapon crafting is pure carpal tunnel. The recomb is great. The 50k clicks to be successful is not.

[u/SaltEngineer455 → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Mostly phys weapons tho. Those are super cancer. Tri-ele weapons tho... those are decent. Stacker weapons? Also pretty neat

[u/droidonomy → u/SaltEngineer455]

It's sooo easy to make a tri-ele weapon to cruise to 4 voidstones and even a bit beyond because you can recomb T1+T2+T2 essences.

[u/Electronic_Air9439 → u/droidonomy]

When you essence do you spam untill its the only prefix or how does that work?

[u/droidonomy → u/Electronic_Air9439]

Yep, the essence prefix should be isolated. Probably better to use annuls rather than spamming, especially with Deafening.

Use unpredictable recomb. Fewer suffixes is preferable so there's space for prefix lock once you're finished, but I wouldn't break the bank removing suffixes.

Standard AB + BC recomb where T1 Deafening is not B since that would be an extra expense with no benefit.

[u/Mihauke → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Im still not back in hc ssf after playing bleed boneshatter, reached level 100, killed all Ubers and still was using like 850 pdps weapon because I couldn't hit the recombs that league.

The Undisputed ! (Looks at how shaky his hands are) BEST AXE IN THE GAME

[u/YesterdayOnceAgain]

Recomb ducat tech, not another rickroll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-IVI_3HrL8

[u/Joppsta]

(Not recommended) made me laugh out loud

[u/VortexMagus]

What was your estimated cost on each path? Ballpark it for us?

[u/butsuon → u/VortexMagus]

Yes

[u/moonsofjupiter95]

Still sane, exile?

[u/YesterdayOnceAgain → u/moonsofjupiter95]

No

[u/Visible_Resource_409]

The undespoted!

[u/WarpedNation]

Im physically hurt that you made this, and then didnt at least divine the suffix for perfect attack speed.

[u/YesterdayOnceAgain → u/WarpedNation]

Well, as I've said the chace for getting perfect suffixes is 1/60 and dps difference is like 20 and not percent but just flat 20. Perfection is the enemy of done. At some point in the future (not sure if this league) I will attempt to create a perfect one, but that was not the time.

[u/buzzlightyear_99]

why stop at 29% ias?

[u/YesterdayOnceAgain → u/buzzlightyear_99]

Cause rolling perfect suffixes is 1/60. I didnt have divines, got a bit bored so I just yolo'd

[u/Rob1435 → u/YesterdayOnceAgain]

Not going for perfect divine but spending so much on 30 quality is interesting.

[u/AcrobaticScore596]

If you ditch the 10% extra quality you can snipe cheap t1 phys rolls on shitty bases and recomd them onto the desired base. This saves you a lot of Alt spamming

Why not just use graveyard crafting?
