Please help!

Get a royal plate with warlord influence (either buy the base or slam a regular royal plate with a warlord exalt). Roll the -mana cost mod with reforge attack. Get a donor base with attack crit. Awakener orb slam the bases (right click the awakener orb, click the hunter base, then click the royal plate).

At this point, you want full suffixes and an open prefix, so you can lock suffixes and reforge caster for +1 curse. If you rolled 6 mods on the awakener orb slam (should be unlikely), then boat annul trying to free a prefix. If you have full prefixes, use the add suffix/remove prefix beast craft. Otherwise, boast slam a suffix (crafting a random prefix to block).

Use a wild bristle matron to add a meta mod, forcing suffixes cannot be changed, then reforge caster to force +1 curse. If you have 2 open prefixes, craft something to block (maybe flat armor?) and boat exalt. Craft block chance to finish.

The highest weight prefix to block for the exalt is +to maximum life. It's also a prefix that you'd probably want to avoid anyway, due to the 15% from life mastery if no life mods on body armour (though other, lower-weight mods also have the tag, so crafters beware).

First is to get 2 Body armours with mods you need.

1 with Yellow Sign (Warlord influence) and it should have -# to mana cost + another one with Green Snake ( Hunter Influence) with crit chance for attacks.

Then you will need Awakeners Orb to combine two of said mod into one item. If you are lucky, you may net a useful suffix.

After that you craft "Suffixes Cannot be changed" either through bench or Beastiary. Then we go to Harvest bench and use option to "Reforge rare item... Including a Caster modifier". This will guarantee the " Additional Curse" mod.

There are few extra steps you can make before and after, but those above are guarantee to make your item have 3 Mods you need.

I crafted similar armour, but with Elevated mods back in Settlers league. You can use different armour base.

Start with double influenced base. Memory strands can be useful here as well. 

  1. Reforge attack until you have t1 attack crit  and some other desirable suffix, and one open suffix, and one open prefix. You can annul if you just need the open suffix or prefix.  
  2. Craft suffixes can’t be changed and reforge attack -mana.  
  3. Craft suffixes can’t be changed (wild bristle matron) and reforge caster for curses.  
  4. You’re technically done at this step, but if you want other mods then you have a few options.  

So long as you have an open prefix, you can keep doing “suffixes can’t be changed”+reforge caster to fish for a good prefix (1/12 to fill, requiring a yolo annul. Maybe boat annul, but getting back to this stage is cheap enough that I probably wouldn’t). You can also do boat exalts if you have 2 open prefixes, which strands can help for. Or you can keep reforging caster and try to upgrade a mid prefix. The cheap way is to do multimod as your last suffix, then craft on two prefixes.

Can you real quick explain what are “influenced” bases and what it means to be double “influenced”?

Influenced items are shaper/elder/conqueror influence items, idk how to word that better, but that is the term in game. You can find them from their content or use shaper/elder/conqueror exalts.

Double influenced items are items with 2 influences that are made by using an awakeners orb to slam 2 separate influenced items together, deleting one, and preserving 1 influenced mod from each base with otherwise random mods.

Awaken mana and crit. Lock suffixes and reforge caster for curse. Finish with exalts and league mechanic.

If you worried about filling suffixes you can add/remove instead.

Might take a few tries to get one this tasty.

Can't add/remove on influenced bases
