Gnawed Rib Crafting Synergy & Usage
Gnawed Rib is used to seed Rare Armour pieces with hidden modifiers that can later be revealed. This makes it ideal for preparing items for conditional defense builds or hybrid stat stacking.
When to Use
Use on Rare Armour with open modifier slots or expendable affixes
Best used when targeting defensive synergy or preparing for Well of Souls reveal
Ideal for crafting builds that rely on hidden or conditional modifiers
Crafting Strategies
Modifier Seeding: Use to inject hidden modifiers into Rare Armour before reveal. Especially useful for targeting affixes like increased armour, elemental resistance, or life regeneration.
Well of Souls Reveal: Plan builds around the reveal mechanic to optimize affix outcomes. Revealing Desecrated modifiers on armour can unlock powerful hidden defenses or hybrid stats.
Build Synergy: Desecrated modifiers may include rare affixes such as increased armour, elemental resistance, life regeneration, or hybrid stats. These are valuable for evasion/life builds, elemental stacking, or endurance setups.
Risk Management: Use Gnawed Rib on high item level Rare Armour (recommended ilvl 60+) to maximize the potential of Desecrated modifiers. Lower level items may yield weaker affixes and are less efficient for crafting.
Affix Targeting: Use Gnawed Rib on armour that already has desirable affixes in hopes of adding synergistic hidden modifiers. This can help round out stats for specific builds, such as evasion/life hybrids or elemental resistance stacking.
