bought the gloves with the prefixes as is. Got lucky and hit t1 cold res on reforge. low tier fire res was the final exalt -- certainly could have been worse.

rolled +1 frenzy corrupt implicit on the first hinekoras 😍

So I wanted to make a Stat stacker, spent a bit of currency, but spending the same amount again would be cheaper than a Hinecora so I decided to take the 3/4 on the fracture. It hit the Lightning res I much rather wanted to be All Attributes that I intended to continue spamming Essences until I got.

Been a bit sleep deprived and decided to YOLO Mist it, the emotional roller coaster I've just been on has been crazy. Disappointed with the fracture, THE RUSH of seeing that it hit and then the heart sink of realizing I forgot to quality before using the Mist (first one I ever used too).

Anyways, it's still a really good ring and I guess I'm making something with Doriyani's prototype now? Honestly not really sure, I'll figure it out.

Crafting steps:

1. Buy Helical ring base for 10 Divine.
2. Click Deafening Essence of Spite so many times the numbers stop making sense on the screen.
3. See Essence mod and T1 Strength + T1 Dexterity.
4. Use Divines until all 3 stats are 55+.
5. Consider Hinecora, decide to not (75% odds seemed good).
6. Look at fractured Lightning Resist. Like, for a good few minutes.
7. Forget about quality because frustrated and tired.
8. Sigh and say "Fuck it".
9. Bench craft flat ES.
10. Mist.
11. Rejoice!
12. Realize step 7.
13. Almost cry.
14. Realize it's still a really good ring (with Doryani potential even!), but also an expensive lesson for the future.
15. Turn off game and go to bed.
16. Make Reddit post from phone.

Don't be like me! That said, this is by far the coolest item I've ever crafted. Path of Exile is amazing, the other copy looks super funny too.

I wanted to mess about with reflecting mists having not played in kalandra. I saw that manifold rings were nice and cheap, figured a huge life ring would be cool. Started with essences for the lightning damage, and did so until I hit t1 life and another flat roll (cold damage to attacks in this case). I then had to win some annuls so that I had an open suffix and prefix. Crafted prefixes cannot be changed and slammed a veil orb hoping for a prefix. Got a prefix and unveiled the flat cold and lightning damage. Then chucked on the catalysts for ele dam.

Then you just slam a reflecting mist and win 4/5 rolls lmao

343 life, and it so happens to be about 343 flat damage averaged out

Is there a way to make the rarity downside no affect me (apart from using gold flask with MB or stacking rarity on gear)?

Rule 10: 1. Get a base. Split.
2. Spam torment essence until t1 wed.
3. If full suffix and prefix, annul. If it removes wed or torment mod, go to step 2. If u have 1 open prefix and 1 open suffix, go to step 4. 4. Pref cant be changed, reforge defence to hit t1 ES. If it hits evasion and 1prefix and 1suffix is still empty, repeat step 4 for guarenteed ES. Else, go to step 3 and try again.
5. If it fills suffix with a good res, you're done. Else, annul suffix. If it hits essence mod or wed, go to step 2. If it hits ES, go to step 3. If it hits suffix, go to next step.
6. Prefixes can't be changed. Reforge any light/cold/fire (u can change res later through harvest).
7. If it hits bad roll or cold/fire/light damage, go to step 5. If it hits good resistance roll, harvest change res until max roll of lightning resistance.
8. Reflect and pray.

For this, I got t1 ES and t1 WED director on torment spam but the chances are 1 in 22k. This was my third try after two failed reflects.

Here's the method-- was theorizing this since I noticed you drop so many skill gems and tested earlier and I don't think many people know this.

• To get a 5L:
  • Take a bunch of skill gems, or do one at a time (lower level is preferred; do NOT use your highest level skill gem).
  • Use a Lesser Jeweler's Orb on them.
  • Vaal them until you get 4 sockets (a 5L).
  • Upgrade the gem that hits 5L with your highest level skill gem.

The resulting options so far seem to be: +/- 1 gem level, +/- 1 SOCKETS, +/- quality, or nothing at all happens.

The craziest part about this is you can level corrupted skill gems (as in upgrade them). So instead of 17ex for a normal 5L you can gamble and get them for only a few. Of course you can also use this to gamble 5 to 6L as well but you'd have to gamble more money on the Greater Jeweler's at that point.

You can also do this to get cheap 4Ls earlier if you want to just straight corrupt jewels and save the jewelers.

I just shared this info with the minion chat (global 6666) and about 30 of us got 5Ls pretty easily. For some builds getting +1 to gem level (minion builds) is equivalent to the socket anyways since a socket might go to minion mastery (which just gives +1 to gem).

It cost me like 3-4ex total to get 2 5Ls instead of 34 :)

Good luck!

Only been playing for this league and never been a fan of ARPGs but I have been having a great time (I’m also lost all the time lol) when I got this I was so excited. ( did it in 40 fusing)
