Crafting Amulets: A Deterministic Approach

Amulets are a cornerstone of many builds, offering a mix of offensive and defensive modifiers. Here's a reliable method to craft a high-quality amulet with maximum energy shield, critical modifiers, and global defenses.

1. Choose a Fractured Base: Start with an amulet base that has a fractured maximum energy shield modifier (either flat or percentage-based). These bases are affordable, often costing around 20 Exalted Orbs for item level 80 or higher. Look for bases with minimal modifiers to keep crafting costs low.

2. Add Initial Modifiers: Use Orbs of Annulment to remove unwanted modifiers, ideally leaving one open slot. Then, spam Chaos Orbs until you hit a useful modifier like accuracy.

3. Boost Melee Skills: Apply an Omen of Dextral Exaltation with a Perfect Exalted Orb to guarantee a +3 to Melee Skills suffix.

4. Add Minion Damage: Use Sinister Necromancy and Omen of the Liege with a Collarbone to unlock an unveil option. Combine this with Omen of the Abyss to increase your chances of unveiling the "Minions Deal Increased Damage if You've Hit Recently" modifier.

5. Incorporate Critical Modifiers: With prefixes full, use Omen of Homogenising Exaltation and a Perfect Exalted Orb to add a critical damage modifier. Repeat this step to add critical hit chance.

6. Remove Unwanted Modifiers: Use an Omen of Light with an Orb of Annulment to remove the minion modifier, leaving accuracy as the only non-fractured prefix. Then, apply Omen of Sinister Crystallisation and Perfect Essence of Enhancement to replace accuracy with a global defence bonus.

7. Finalize with Energy Shield: Use Omen of BlackBlooded and Collarbone to unveil an energy shield modifier from equipped body armor. Alternatively, Omen of the Sovereign can yield evasion. Apply quality and use Divine Orbs to optimize rolls.

This method typically costs a few Divine Orbs, primarily for Perfect Exalted Orbs, and yields a powerful amulet—perfect for builds like Monks or Blood Mages.

Crafting Jewels: Budget-Friendly RNG

Jewels are versatile and can enhance various builds, but their crafting is less deterministic due to the vast modifier pool. However, a budget-friendly approach can yield excellent results.

1. Acquire Bases: Purchase rare, non-unique, non-corrupted jewels with item level 84 or higher. Avoid magic jewels.

2. Corrupt with Omens: Use Omen of Petrification and Preserved Craniums to corrupt jewels, adding random modifiers. You'll need around 15–20 jewels.

3. Unveil Modifiers: Unveil corrupted jewels to reveal modifiers. Prioritize jewels with at least one desirable modifier, such as maximum energy shield or elemental damage. Use Omen of the Abyss Echos only on jewels with one or two strong modifiers.

4. Evaluate Results: Look for jewels with maximum energy shield, critical damage bonus, critical hit chance, or stun threshold based on energy shield. A jewel with triple modifiers can sell for 3–7 Divine Orbs, far exceeding the crafting cost.

This method is RNG-heavy but cost-effective. Even failed jewels can often be sold to recover costs.

Crafting Rings: Balancing Cost and Randomness

Ring crafting can be highly random, but a budget-friendly approach can produce solid results without requiring expensive fractured bases.

1. Select Bases: Buy two breach ring bases (item level 82). One should have item rarity as a suffix, and the other should have lightning damage to attacks as a prefix.

2. Recombine Bases: Use a Recombinator to merge the bases, aiming for a ring with both lightning damage to attacks and item rarity. Success rate is around 14%. Optionally, use Omen of Recombination.

3. Enhance with Catalysts: Apply physical catalysts to boost physical modifier rolls. Then, use Sinister Exaltation and Catalysing Exaltation to add a prefix like physical damage to attacks.

4. Add Resistances: Use tool catalysts and Omen of Catalysing Exaltation to attempt resistances. For the final suffix, use Omen of the Sovereign with Desecration to add chaos resistance and an elemental resistance.

This method can yield rings worth 10–20 Divine Orbs, featuring lightning damage, physical damage, item rarity, and resistances.
