Acquisition & Crafting

Before you can start the crafting process, you have to complete the following tasks, if not done yet:

• Acquire The Putrid Cloister Museum Map and unlock the Crafting Bench recipe ‘Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers” by running it (the crafting recipe is located in the map)
• Acquire Caer Blaidd, Wolfpack’s Den Underground River Map and unlock the Crafting Bench recipe ‘Cannot roll Attack Modifiers” by running it (the crafting recipe is located in the map)
• Acquire the Crafting Bench recipe “+2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems”. You can only get this recipe by unveiling items dropped by Catarina who is the endboss of the Immortal Syndicate. She can be encountered by running the Safehouse at the very top of the Immortal Syndicate Board.
• Acquire a Hunter influenced Thicket Bow (item level 82+)
• Acquire at least 4 Exalted Orbs, 5 Divine Orbs, a lot of Orbs of Alteration and some Orbs of Annulment, Orbs of Scouring, Chaos Orbs as well as Regal Orbs.

Next, you can start the actual crafting process (which – dependend on your luck – can take quite a while):

Step 1

• Use Orbs of Transmutation / Orbs of Alteration on the Hunter base Bow until you either hit Tier 1 of ‘+#% to Damage Over Time Multiplier’ OR ‚#% increased Attack Speed‘ (mouseover + ALT lets you see the rolled Tier) – the latter is slighty better.IMPORTANT: Don’t confound ‘+#% to Damage Over Time Multiplier’ with ‘+#% increased Chaos Damage Over Time Multiplier’ or ‚ ‘+#% increased Chaos Damage Over Time‘ – if you do so, you won’t get the mods you actually want in the later stages of the crafting process.

Step 2

• Use a Regal Orb to make the Bow rare

Step 3

• Use Orbs of Annulment until you have only Tier 1 of “+#% to Damage Over Time Multiplier’ on the rare Bow. If you remove “+#% to Damage Over Time Multiplier’ you have to use an Orb of Scouring to make the Bow normal again. Then, restart the process beginning with Step 1.

Step 4

• Once “+#% to Damage Over Time Multiplier’ is your only modifier on the rare Bow, you have to use the Crafting Bench to craft ‘Can Have Up to 3 Crafted Modifiers’ on it (costs 2 Divine Orbs)

Step 5

• Use the Crafting Bench to craft  ‘Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers” on the Bow (costs 1 Divine Orb)

Step 6

• Apply 2x Exalted Orb to the Bow

Step 7

• Use the Crafting Bench to craft ‘Remove Crafted Modifiers’

Step 8

• Use the Crafting Bench to craft ‘Can Have Up to 3 Crafted Modifiers’ on the Bow (costs 2 Divine Orbs)

Step 9

• Use the Crafting Bench to craft ‘+18-20% to Chaos Damage Over Time Multiplier’ on the Bow

Step 10

• Use the Crafting Bench to craft ‘+2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems’ on the Bow (costs 2 Exalted Orbs)

Step 11

• Use Harvest Crafting to add the ‘Quality does not increase Physical Damage / 1% increased Attack Speed per 8% Quality’ enchantment
