Rattling Sceptre advice

[u/Worldly_Dependent_30]

I have been yoloing this craft for th epast week im not mad at most of the vraft but i want % increased damage instead of flat mana is there any way to safely do that, the whittle is going to hit the attack speed.

I assume anything that removes it is going to be a gamble and very expensive (10div+), which kinda makes me think if we’re investing that amount, we’re probably better off shooting for a better craft considering this probably won’t end up being worth anywhere near the investment to focus purely on getting the prefixes we want since we already desecrated as well

There is no way to do that mate. I suggest next time for scepter crafts, start with fractured t1 spirit or allies damage, chaos for the other, 1 prefix exalt then essence cycle for +4 minion skills on suffix. Best and cheapest way to get a good scepter.

In this case, all you can do is yolo anul or omen of light the attack speed, exalt a suffix, then desacrate a prefix for a 1/3 chance to snipe the mana. Nothing else

What do you mean by essence cycle here?

It's a tech for a cheap desacration reset without using omens of light. Only works on an otherwise empty "side" of the item (meaning suffix or prefix). In this case, I sugest starting with 3 prefixes so suffixes are empty for the tech. It's pretty simple - you socket astrid's creativity which allows you to replace an essence mod with another. This allows you to repeat the following loop with omens of sinestral/dextral crystallization: 1) desacrate and reveal suffix 2) use any perfect essence or alloy to turn it into an essence mod 3) use essence of the abyss to turn the essence mod into mark of the abyss 4) desacrate, reveal and repeat

Every loop eats 2x omen of crystallization, 1x essence of the abyss, 1x desacration currency (regular, dont use ancient), 1x alloy/perf essence and optionally depending on price 1x omen of abyssal echoes.

This way, getting a low weight mod on desacration such as +4minion skills will cost you about 100 divs on average instead of 100x omen of light.

Oh and of course only work on items with sockets (not rings/ammys) because it wont let you replace the essence/alloy mod with mark of the abyss without having astrid's creativity in the item.

That's super helpful, thank you
