grats on the staff !
i have a question: “
how did you get from magic to rare ? isnt a step missing here? you must use a regal
Whoops you’re right probably slightly misremembering here but the best thing to do is probably perf aug for the prefix which hopefully isn’t mana, then either essence of sorcery or alacrity for spell damage or cast speed. You could just essence off of the single affix magic base that only has crit onto the prefix with sorcery and then blow it off with essence of abyss…but thats a lot of screwing around to get a slightly better result if your fracture misses. Not sure if the EV is there vs just going perfect augmentation, essence, desecration, fracture. I used so many chaos orbs I probably entered a fugue state and blocked out the entire beginning of the craft lol.
Edit - updated the craft to reflect. One mistake I see people make is just adding rando exalts before fracturing, but it’s not THAT expensive to make sure you fracture something that is at least decent so you can finish an okay staff to sell rather than throwing it in the bin if you fracture garbage.
How do you get the implicit on the staff? Is it from sockets?
Yeah
For step six where you’re beginning to chaos spam after perfect exalt, are these jus regular chaos orbs?
Does chaos orb keep same tier of stat from the perf ex?
Yeah I used regular…it’ll average around 1700 to hit it which is pretty close to what it took me. If you value your sanity slightly more than your currency, greater chaos will get you there faster without fully breaking the bank (1 in about 700). Perfect chaos is definitely not worth it.
Thanks for sharing
Just use greater chaos, I spam normal chaos worth 100 divs and did not hit the affix I want (hit lower tier mostly) and after using greater chaos worth around 20 div, I got the affix. For your sanity sake, just use greater.
Beauty!
Oh that’s interesting… see I crafted a full t1 staff, same stats as yours without the sanctified benefit but it only had 2 sockets, I didn’t fracture it, I just got really lucky.
I didn’t know that re-applying locks changed the outcome, I though that you had to commit once you used the lock - but what I’m reading here is that you can apply a lock and if the outcomes are not preferred you can apply another lock and continue until your preferred roll is hit?
If you use a lock you can preview what any omen/vaal/divine/whatever will do. If the preview doesn’t show the sanctify you want, you can use a divine (or even an arcanist etcher) to invalidate the lock and then use another lock to check again.
Ahhh I’ve got you, thank you for the information sir

This is the most thorough crafting recap I believe I’ve ever seen on Reddit. Though I’m but a poor casual, I sure do appreciate your write up and the way it has helped me to understand the steps taken when crafting the way you have. Thank you.
Step 11 you don’t need to use omen of light. If you only have a desecrated suffix alongside a fractured suffix you dextral crystallization perfect essence of alacrity then dextral crystallization essence of the abyss. Then re add the jawbone. Rinse and repeat until you have what you need.
The poor man’s omen of light.
You’ve already got T1 all spell skills there from step 6, so have to omen of light or you risk blowing that off
Sorry meant to lead with if you landed on t1 spell damage in step 6
Yeah, in that case you do that until you get all spells, then you’re stuck with omens of light for cast speed again. You could try to get cast speed from the abyss/alacrity juggle, but its way easier to get T1 cast vs T1 all spells so you probably want to target that on the more expensive part of the craft
Btw this staff is a monster. Well done! How long do staffs in the mirror range usually take to sell?
No clue. I have this listed at 3 mirrors and no idea if it’ll ever sell. I have a feeling it’d sell pretty quickly for 2 though.
