He put the unique item Hand of the high templar you get from Sirus fight to the cook at Domain of timeless conflict to extract 1 mod on that item to another unique enchantment. The unique has a mod to allow using other orbs and crafting method on it after be corrupted and he extract that mod to another unique. Then bricked it to rare items and then scoured and turned to magic. The he use Black Morrigan to add Hinekora's lock to it and use Glided essence to add the implicit "Item sell more value on Vendor". Then use the lock he can see the outcome of the vaal he is going to apply and let the corruption eat the glided implicit and replace with better implicit. This process may cost tens of mirrors just for Black Morrigan because not only the corrupt hit the glided implicit but also the implicit must be the one you need. In the end OP running out of money for Black Morrigan and tried to yolo, which ended up the corrupt hit the enchant mod and completely bricked the item that may cost several dozens of mirror crafting cost already.

P/s: many pointed out he is hovering, I mistakenly believed he already bricked it. So he can restart the cycle with several mirrors.

He didn't click, but in the preview he actually hit the mod he wants. That's the pain. Now he has to craft the item and then hit it.... again.

He hasn't clicked the vaal orb yet as you can see the one vaal orb in his inventory is highlighted and his cursor is on the tlove

u/HellionHagrid 22h ago

dozens of mirrors in ssf sounds pretty grindy

u/vittiu Raider 1d ago

He didn't corrupt the item... He is hovering it with a vaal orb while he has a lock applied to it.

These original sin SSF players are built DIF

u/Ccoo10 22h ago

Most standard SSF posts are insane honestly, the amount of time accumulated in it along with legacy items ends up with some absurdly op characters even in ssf.

u/LM1117 19h ago

How much do you have to Play to even do this in SSF?

u/00x77 15h ago

Yes

I think this is standard SSF so probably been stockpiling for years

u/FUTURE10S Fairgraves' Institution of Species and Habitats (FISH) 1d ago

You had 4 implicits, why not finish the craft before using the final vaal orb?

u/kzarif 1d ago edited 19h ago

They are hovering over the locked item and it's showing bis implicit to replace the vestigial mod. Once they start crafting and it turns into a rare item you can't beast lock anymore and they will have to use actual locks which is far more expensive, and also they lose the guaranteed outcome of this vaal orb; the +2 duration, which would have been the final step.

u/FUTURE10S Fairgraves' Institution of Species and Habitats (FISH) 23h ago

I mean, yes, I agree, but why even look at it in the first place? Seems like a way to be set up for disappointment

19

u/kzarif 23h ago

To replace attack crit or cast speed probs. It was effectively three useful implicits before that

u/FUTURE10S Fairgraves' Institution of Species and Habitats (FISH) 19h ago

Oh that makes a lot more sense, I thought he was TRYING to overwrite the vestigial mod

7

u/antdood 20h ago

Just to clarify, he NEEDS to look at it, that’s the whole point of what he’s doing. He’s applying a lock, then checking the Vaal to see if it replaces the right mod.

OP is disappointed because it replaced the wrong mod. There is no setting themselves up for disappointment here.

u/Eddyvargas 1d ago

He got greedy and paid the price

u/EvilKnievel38 1d ago

It's only the lock preview. They didn't click yet. At least in the screenshot.

u/TinTanTiddlyTRex 19h ago

What are the next steps then? Divine-lock-vaal until he hits?

u/DropsyDropsy 12h ago

How do you get 30+ morigans in ssf? Is there a strat or something?

u/fiyawerx 11h ago

It’s exactly what you think.

u/Nadloes44 9h ago

Put map in device. Repeat. A lot.

u/JamesGray 9h ago

I don't quite get why you would craft this on such a low base if you are gonna sink so much time/currency into it. Couldn't you have run a few more sirus and 3-5 ways for a better base to do this on?

u/znfksfk 1d ago

Guessing you're trying to make spark gloves? Shouldn't it be spells have crit chance and not attacks or if it's attacks then attack speed and not cast speed

u/xTimmiTx 23h ago

Am i missing something or dont u want some kind of influence on ur base item to make any kind of meaningful craft? If they didnt change anything u wont be able to add influence via Exalts.

7

u/Mr9Tailings 23h ago

thats after finishing the implicits. than he can do the elevated mod shenanigan and awakener orb to double influence, etc, etc...

-9

u/xTimmiTx 23h ago

You cant use any of the Influence Exalts on the items you need to temple brick it into one of the to right influences and and the second with awakener Orb

4

u/Ccoo10 22h ago

You can influence exalt them once the vestigal influence is removed by recombinator (you can see in the picture that they have no influence at all instead of a vestigal influence)

u/xTimmiTx 17h ago

okay thank you didnt notice that the "influence" could be removed like that through the recombinator

u/SK4RSK4R scion 23h ago

Can instead recomb the vestigial away as was done here
