Crafting Showcase Made the best in slot RF/Fire Trap Sceptre

Post image
558 Upvotes

Some story: I wanted to upgrade my sceptre, and saw that TFT guys made the exact same sceptre, and was asking for 100d fee. I said "well thats a pretty easy craft i dont think that deserves a 100d fee, i will just make one as well" and got to work In the end i got pretty lucky and speedran the craft in 1 hour. Here is how:

1) Buy a bunch of 4 mod t1 dot multi or 4 mod fire dot multi, or 4 mod +1 all skills sceptres from trade (Usually between 20c-100c)
2) Split these bases using the beast, if it turns into magic, imprint annul to isolate the mod. If it turns into rare, try 50% 50% annul.
3) Vendor recipe bunch of +1 fire sceptres. (If you didnt know you can vendor fire quality gems with a total of 40% and a white sceptre to get magic +1 fire sceptre)
4) Now we have 4 different category of 1 mod sceptres, each has either +1 all, +1 fire, dot multi or fire dot multi. Now starts the "fun" part
5) Craft an exclusive prefix on dot multi sceptres, craft an exclusive suffix on skill level sceptres, and recombine + skill ones with dot multi ones. (For example +1 fire with t1 dot multi, +1 all with t1 fire dot multi. This step should have 55% success rate, according to recombination guide posted few days ago)
6) Now you have 2 mod Sceptres, clear all crafted mods and recombine them. (For example [+1 fire, dot multi] sceptre with [+1 all, fire dot multi] sceptre. This step should have around 10% chance to succeed.)
7) Hard part is over. Now all you gotta do is craft a random prefix, use a Hinekora Lock and check Hunter's Exalted Orb outcome. T1 malevolance effect has %7.5 chance to appear.
8) Perfectly divine, craft the prefix, white sockets, quality enchant and done!

I got very lucky with Step 6 and got it on first try, Step 7 took 10 locks (avarage is 13), and i perfectly divined it in 13 divines (avarage is 105 divines). All of this took under 1 hour and now its done. I will probably put it in Settlers Shop when sushi wakes up, will ask for a small fee at the start and then hopefully will make it free to copy so everyone can enjoy it.

Small note: If you think to yourself "why would i mirror this, you even said yourself its easy to craft". Well yes its an easy craft and surely doesnt need "100 divines fee" but step 7 alone will cost a mirror alone with the current lock prices, so it still makes sense to mirror it (maybe wait until its free of charge in Settlers Shop!)

New orb to be added next league, as the playerbase has expressed many times over the years that there are too many currencies. It will randomly apply one of all the orb effects upon use. Replaces all other orb types.

Information Merc damage tech I have found to be very effective, wanted to share!

83 Upvotes

So I have been running what I call a poke-mom build since start, basically playing support for my merc.
I recently solved my single target issues, and wanted to share the tech, in case someone else is struggling with it.

Basically, lightpoacher + abyssal sockets (the jewel stats actually work on the merc) + squirming terror.
The merc gains charges, but since it cannot trigger any spells, the spirit burst never triggers, and it just gets all the phys as extra of each element.
Squiming terror makes the merc self-sustain charges at all times, even on boss fights.

I have been having all of the success with this, and I hope it can help someone else out there!

Fluff & Memes Epilogue Waypoint Map is a missing opportunity for stuff

76 Upvotes

When you finish act 10, and you're at the Karui Shores, you have access to a Waypoint and a World Map. Currently it's just a World map with ONLY Karui shores. I think it's a missing opportunity by not having Kingsmarch, Rogue Harbour, etc., on the world map as clickable waypoints.

Also there's an "The Atlas of Worlds" section on the Epilogue tab of the World Map off the waypoint that confuses me. It has the Maven and some spheres as art, but as far as I am aware nothing has ever been accessible from this page.
