# Project: Endgame Weapon Craft
- reminder:
- buying good prefixes:
- 40 or 60 divine
- https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/zPO59Jgc4
strategy: buy +1 all frac, craft suffixes
The main rationale for this is that I want three prefixes:
- +1 to level of all skill gems
- +1 to level of lightning/physical skill gems
- +90%+ increased spell damage
Of these, "+1 to level of all skill gems" is the rarest, so I'm going to start from a base with that fractured.

- man i want a void sceptre idc the cost
- https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/KYJmzpRc5
- :skull: 60 divine
- hmm maybe i buy a 40 divine sceptre as an actual still interim solution
- for now, bought [Bought.1](#Bought.1) for 43 divine.
- going to try to sell my current weapon for 20 divine, lowering from there
- alright, let's look at this craft again & calc it out
- what bases actually could make sense besides Void Sceptre?
- Opal Sceptre, Void Sceptre - 40% inc. elemental
- Prophecy Wand - 40% inc. elemental
- Profane Wand - 14% inc. cast speed
- Alternating Sceptre - could be interesting
- search: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/0q5JB9pSg
- 40 divine for Prophecy Wand base! (at ~10AM Friday PST)
- side note: least expensive is 60 divine at friday 7:30pm PM PST, so... probably snag the 40 divine when we can
- what's the chance to craft on wand vs. sceptre?
- Prophecy Wand: 282: [craft](https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=18&bi=8070&m=essence&e=1246&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=15&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&req={%221709%22:{%22l%22:2,%22g%22:3},%221711%22:{%22l%22:2,%22g%22:3}}&bld={%221713%22:55}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&frc=1)
- Void Sceptre: 312: [craft](https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=17&bi=8002&m=essence&e=1246&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=15&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&req={%221709%22:{%22l%22:2,%22g%22:3},%221711%22:{%22l%22:2,%22g%22:3}}&bld={%221713%22:55}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&frc=1)
- Prophecy Wand is better for prefixes!
- what about for suffixes?
- Prophecy Wand: <https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=18&bi=8070&m=chaos&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=15&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&req={%22696%22:{%22l%22:73,%22g%22:1},%221757%22:{%22l%22:83,%22g%22:2}}&bld={}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&frc=1>
- Void Sceptre: <https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=17&bi=8002&m=chaos&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=15&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&req={%22696%22:{%22l%22:73,%22g%22:1},%221757%22:{%22l%22:83,%22g%22:2}}&bld={}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&frc=1>
- wand is again better! huh
- ok: base: 40 divine
- prefixes: 282 Deafening Essence of Woe: 15 divine
- <https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Affliction/mkwj0Zt6>
- ok so the thing is physical *is* better than lightning...
- this is only true because of Determination though, and we won't be running Determination once we can afford the pure-fire-conversion setup
how the heck do we do suffixes?
well..... an easy answer is that after we have prefixes, we can spend 2 divine & just do two crafted mods - inc. cast speed & chance to deal double damage.
first: what do we want?
sidenote:
- aghhhhh impulse bought an opal sceptre at 50 divine (was listed for 45 div) because everything else with good prefixes has been 60+div for online sales for a while, and this person just came back online
ok i need to figure out
alright bet someone came on with a 30 divine prophecy wand lets go
lets craft this & see if we can sell it for 60 div crafted
- have 296 to start
- eyyy hit it at 232, so 64 tries
- hit 91 inc spell damage, i think that's decent - not going to divine cause im selling it
- scour + crafted suffix: 4 divine
- primal for quality enchant: 2 divine
- ok so cost avg.: 40 divine + 20 divine (deafening woes) + 6 = 66
- lets try to sell for 75
- aghhhh divined 3 times for equivalent results (not calculated)
- still 75 is profit, 69 is break even.
- listing today for 79 divine
- this should put us at the top of [this trade search](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/Ll0KEr7un) for prefixes - plus, we'll have quality all set.
- f it idk why but im going to divine this & use it
- first try literally maxrolled!!! [Maxrolled.1](#Maxrolled1)
- ok using this & selling the one I bought
- selling for 43 divine - equal to bought price, despite my slightly rerolling suffixes: [item](#Selling-for-43-divine1)
- a few days later, sold! [item](#Sold-for-43-divine)
- ok actual suffix options:
- Aisling
- 0 risk of bricking (as opposed to veiled chaos orb)
- [block with damage per power charge](https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=17&bi=7997&m=exalted&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=15&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&bld={%222869%22:60}&im={}&ggt=|10|11|&ccp={})
- 21% deal double damage (6-7% chance - actually better on average than 20% while focused??)
- 21% str+int+crit chance
- oh. is there anything i want besides the double damage?
- Reforge
- caster:
- 2.128% chance for 29-32% inc. cast speed
- 8.511% chance for 100-109% inc. crit chance for spells
- chaos: 16.667% chance for 31-35% inc. chaos res
- critical:
- 5.556% chance for 100-109% inc. crit chance for spells
- 5.556% chance for 35-38% to global crit multiplier
- speed:
- 1.818% chance for 29-32% inc. cast speed
- 1.695% chance for Prophecy Wand
- both Aisling and Reforge favor Opal Sceptre over Prophecy Wand
- what about raw exalt slamming?
- what are our best mods?
- I think this is important to consider with all of this. Like, it should be pretty possible to do a reforge->aisling, i think - main risk of brick would be in the reforge...
## Mod damage comparison with current build
```
baseline crafted 21% (18-21) inc. cast speed (craft), 28% (25-28) crit multi
-1.1% crafted 21% (18-21) inc. cast speed (craft), 64% (50-69) inc. crit chance (craft)
+3% half-craft 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), 27% (25-28) crit multi (craft)
+2.3% half-craft 21% (18-21) inc. cast speed (craft), 38% (35-38) crit multi (T1 mod)
+2.5% half-craft 109% (100-109) inc. crit strike chance for spells (T1 mod), 27% (25-28) crit multi (craft)
+2.7% half-craft 109% (100-109) inc. crit strike chance for spells (T1 mod), 21% (18-21) inc. cast speed (craft)
+2.9% harv+ais 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), 7% (6-7) chance to deal double damage (unveil)
+11.9% impossible 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), 7% (6-7) chance to deal double damage (unveil), 35% (35-38) crit multi (T1 mod)
+9.1% impossible 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), crit chance+int (unveil), 35% (35-38) crit multi (T1 mod)
+7.9% impossible 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), damage per power (unveil), 35% (35-38) crit multi (T1 mod)
+15.7% impossible 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), 35% (35-38) crit multi (T1 mod), 101% (100-109) inc. crit chance for spells (T1 mod)
note: probably due to lack of assassin's mark / lack of crit flask
+11.2% ehhh 31% (29-32) inc. cast speed (T1 mod), 40% (36-40) crit multi with rare (unveil), 5% (4-5) chance to deal double damage (craft)
```
Note: I had to adjust these numbers to account for the fact that I was comparing to my current weapon with an enchant, and the Emulator strips enchants.
Looks like the biggest benefit over our current toprolled crafted mods comes from introducing 3 useful mods, rather than any specific modifiers we unlock.
- Note: Manni has 3 crafted mods on top of "can have up to 3 crafted mods". how? this may reveal another strategy
- Answer: he doesn't, it's just a 2-line crafted mod. "inc spell damage + gain non-chaos as chaos"
- manni's profane wand is literally worse than mine, at least on my build :sweat_smile:.
- Oh, also, extra strat I forgot: harvest "remove / add"
- calcs removed, this is from a 4-year-old reddit post & doesn't exist
- harvest reroll has unavoidable chance to brick & require yolo annul
- aisling mostly useful for adding double damage, which is worse than other mods
- main strategy I guess is just exalt-slamming then?
- simulation: always clear-double-exalt: around 1.626% chance of success for either T1 cast speed or T1 crit multi
- cost = 55.55 * (1/10 + 2) = 116 divines (assuming 1/10 divine exalt cost)
- that's better than I would have thought! only about 130 divines to upgrade weapon for a 2.3% or 3% uplift
## Conclusions End of one Day
OK, so there is an option. But, it only brings in a 2.3% guaranteed uplift at most.
I think with that, and the fact that it's toprolled, this weapon is certifiably "end game" for PBoD.
Let's 30% quality it and call it a day?
