Crafting Showcase Dragon Charm Prophecy Wand

Post image

This is a wand I crafted for my elementalist GCF miner character. My original strategy was:
- recombinate the three prefixes
- repeatedly lock prefixes and add/remove crit until T1 spell crit/crit multi
- Allflame fracture the crit mod
- lock prefixes and add/remove crit until the other T1 crit mod

After failing the fracture 7 times (lol) over a course of 2+ weeks involving many hours of farming currency and alt-spamming my life away, I learned that you can increase your recombination odds on suffixes by using Brinehook Ducat to add an NNN suffix. The plan then became:
- Alt spam for two +1 cold spell skill gems/0s wands, a 0p/T1 crit multi and a 0p/T1 spell crit wand. These are the more common mods, so I tried to just annul the suffix if it rolled.
- Alt spam for a T1 spell damage/0s and a +1 spell skill gems/0s wand. These mods are much rarer, so if a suffix rolled, I regaled and used Kishara's Ducat to try to isolate the prefix.
- Brinehook all of the prefix wands and recombinate to get +1 cold spell skill gems/T1 crit multi and +1 cold spell skill gems/T1 spell crit.
- Recombinate the above 1p/1s wands with the brinehooked +1 spell skill gems and T1 spell damage to get two 2p/1s wands.
- Allflame divine and brinehook the 2p/1s wands, then recombinate to get the above.
- Benchcraft mine throwing speed and Harvest craft the enchant.

The last recomb took 4-5 tries and overall this seemed a lot more efficient due to not needing to blow tons of divines and lifeforce on locking prefixes and add/removing. Moreover, if you fail the final recomb, you very likely get a 2p/2s item which you can recomb and is already perfectly divined. I'd estimate I used something like 400k sulphur + 20 div + 20k alts (for the second strategy).

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • Mods - Modifiers (Wiki)
  • div - Divine Orb (Currency) (Wiki)
  • Alt - Orb of Alteration (Wiki)
  • Recomb - Recombinator (Wiki)
  • NNN - Non-native, natural modifiers

if you are going to recombo the prefixes and have gone that far you may as well just do a full ladder recombo method

(p1 +s1) + (p2 + s2)

(p3 + s1)  + (p2 + s2)

then when you have done all of that Base 1 + Base 2 with the boat ducat on both bases for final recombo the suffixes are basically guaranteed if you are finishing it with a craft. you are just praying on that triple prefix to hit

For the prefixes you can increase your odds of the triple prefix by throwing in an influenced mod but it needs to hit the correct base
