Suppression / General Craft
  1. Buy a fractured Body Armour base (Good Fractures: Elemental Res 46-48%/Chaos Res 25%+ & Suppression 17%+ ilvl 86 for T1 Suppression)
  2. Regal + Essences Until Suffixes Are Full (Wrath, Anger, Hatred for elemental resistance, Envy for Chaos resistance) – Shrieking or Deafening
  3. Lesser Eldritch Ember and Eldritch Chaos Orb until you’re satisfied with prefixes (2 prefixes!)
  4. Crafting bench for last prefix (avoid ailments, % armour/evasion or Life)
  5. Eldritch Ember & Ichor until satisfied with Implicits
Step By Step Process
Step 1 – Buy A Base
  1. Buy any fractured base with elemental resistances from PoE Trade, link to trade website here: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade (To see PoE 4 Dummies: Trading, click HERE)
  2. Click Show Filters on Top Right side and then input:
    Left side:
    Item category – Body Armour
    Armour Filters – Use MAX = 0 to avoid those bases (Energy Shield Max 0 will give only STR, DEX or STRDEX bases!) – Only bases with DEX can have Spell Suppress!!!
    Requirements – Level MIN = 84 (For MAX level item, if you don’t want max level to equip, leave this field empty!)
    Miscellaneous – Item Level MIN = 86 (if you want spell suppression T1 on bases with DEX) or MIN 84 (if you want Elemental Resistances T1)
    Right side:
    Click “+ Add Stat Group” Drop-down
    Click “Count” and put MIN = 1, MAX = 1 (This means you want at least 1 of these mods and max of 1 of these mods)
    Click “+ Add Stat Filter” and input “~ light res frac” (~ gives us any word hits that have what we input after it in the name – For this one, “+ #% to lightning resistance” as fractured will appear)
    Repeat this step to add fire and cold resistances!
    Once you add all 3, put MIN = 46 to get Tier 1 to those resistances (You do NOT need to put max here!) – If you want lower resistances, you can put minimum number as a smaller one.
  3. Once you do all of this, click “Search” at the bottom of the page and buy yourself a base from another player!
Step 2 – If Needed, Regal The Base
  1. Once you buy a base, if the base is Magic (which means it is blue in color), you will need to use a “Regal Orb” (in the image) and right click it, then left click the item.
  2. This makes the item yellow in color, which is called a “Rare” item
  3. Proceed to Step 3
Step 3 – Choose An Essence to Craft and Start Crafting
  1. Once you get your rare item, you will need to choose an Essence to craft with. For that, we need to buy said Essence.
  2. Go to https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/ – which is “Bulk Item Exchange” from PoE Trade.
  3. There will be two same-looking parts of bulk trade. On the left is “Items I want” and on the right are “Items I have”.
    You can highlight the items you want in the top section “Highlight Items”, then you input “Essence of” and it will give you a selection of all Essences to choose from.
  4. Essence tiering goes from Weeping to Deafening. More on Essences on PoE Wiki and my PoE 4 Dummies: Essences video.
  5. We are looking for “Deafening Essence of”: Envy (Chaos Resistance), Anger (Fire resistance), Wrath (Lightning resistance) OR Hatred (Cold resistance). Lower Tier Essences are generally cheaper!!!
  6. Once you select your essence, on the right side where “Items I Have” are, you select “Divine Orb” and then purchase whatever amount of Essences you want. I suggest starting with 1 Divine Orb worth of Essences.
  7. When you get your Essences bought, proceed to right click one and left click it on an item. In order to save clicks, you should hold shift while left clicking the Essence on the item, to make the craft quicker (BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER-CLICK THE NEEDED MODIFIERS!!!!).
  8. We are looking for Suffixes to be filled. We will have 1 suffix locked from fractured modifier (the one in gold) and we will have 1 suffix guaranteed from the Essence. We are looking for the third suffix.
  9. IF you are going with a DEX base, I strongly suggest going for T1 Chance To Suppress Spell Damage (as shown on image), OR if you have enough of it, then you can go with any other elemental resistance (keep in mind, you can change elemental resistances from one to another via harvest, video HERE).
  10. Once you have decided on what you want as suffixes, use your Essences to get the third suffix modifier. Proceed to step 4 when done!
Step 4 – Add Eldritch Influence (Implicit)
  1. When you’re done with step 3, you want to apply an Eldritch Ember (I suggest lesser first, or you can go to greater immediately).
  2. These embers drop from T6+ maps once you first unlock Searing Exarch Influence. Later on in the game, they mostly drop in T14+. They can also be purchased from the trade website.
  3. This Ember will give you an influence (Searing Exarch) and it has a counter-part, which is Eater of Worlds (Eldritch Ichor). For the purpose of this guide, you will need to apply 1 lesser Eldritch Ember. If you have an Eldritch Ichor applied to an item, if it is lesser, then you need to apply 1 Greater Eldritch Ember instead (To make Searing Exarch dominant).
  4. For modifiers that you can get via Eldritch Currency, click HERE (Searing Exarch Modifiers) and HERE (Eater of Worlds Modifiers)
  5. I suggest going to PoEDB and in Modifiers page you choose the body armour that you have (DEX, INT, STR or combinations).
  6. When you are done applying the influence, go to Step 5.
Step 5 – Prefix Crafting (Eldritch Chaos Orb)
  1. Once you apply Searing Exarch Influence, you can use “Eldritch Chaos Orb” in order to change your prefixes.
    NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE SEARING EXARCH INFLUENCE HIGHER THAN EATER OF WORLDS!!!! (Lesser > no influence, greater > lesser and such -> To check this, press and hold alt button and mouseover the item. In implicit section, you will see if it is lesser, greater and such for mods!)
  2. When you are sure that your Searing Exarch implicit is greater than Eater of worlds, proceed with using Eldritch Chaos Orb (This one can be bought on the trade website!) on the item. This will re-roll ALL prefix modifiers!
  3. You can go with personal preference, but in general, great mods to have are:
    Life (T3 and above)
    Evasion (Or Armour if Armour Base) T3 and above
    Hybrid Life+Evasion/Armor T3 and above
  4. If you get 2 good mods (T3 and above), you can proceed to Step 6. If you get 1 good mod, you can re-roll again with Eldritch Chaos orb or just proceed to Step 6 to save currency!
Step 6 – Finishing Prefixes (Crafting Bench)
  1. After Step 5, if you are left with 1 prefix modifier and you want to save currency, you have 2 options:
    A – Use an Exalted Orb to “Augment a rare item with a new modifier”
    B – Use the crafting bench immediately to add any modifier that you may want
  2. Using an Exalted Orb, you can get a second prefix that is COMPLETELY RANDOM in TIERING (which means you can get as low as T13 (example, T13 life is 3-9 life!) and I do NOT suggest doing this, unless you want to try your luck!
  3. For crafting bench modifier, you can choose to add what you do not have, as an example, I have added life to the body armour as I wanted more life. If you have life and one more good mod, you can add another defense mod (example, evasion or armour, combination and such!).
  4. When satisfied, proceed to final step – Step 7.
Step 7 – Completing the Item (Implicit Crafting)
  1. Once you’re done with Step 6, you will need some Eldritch Embers and Ichors to find a modifier that you like for the armour in order to finish it.
  2. This is the example from the video, where I have used both Greater Eldritch Ember and Ichor to get Chance to Fortify and Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras. You can re-roll these as much as you’d like to hit the modifier you need.
  3. For the full list of modifiers, check HERE (Searing Exarch) and HERE (Eater of Worlds) – You can CTRL+F (Search in page) to find “body_armour” modifiers too!
  4. Enjoy your well-made item! You can also sell it for more than you’ve crafted it for! Good Luck!
Mana Reservation Efficiency
  1. Buy a fractured item level 84+ Body Armour (ilvl 86 for T1 Life / Suppression (must have dex)!) with either Resistance (46-48%) or Chaos Resistance (28%+). This works on any body armour base type. Spell Suppression Fracture is ALWAYS expensive and not recommended to start with!
  2. Regal (if base is magic) + Deafening Essence of Loathing (Increased Mana Reservation Efficiency) until you have both Chaos and Elemental Resistance T1.
  3. Lesser Eldritch Ember (once) and Eldritch Chaos orb until you’re satisfied with prefixes (As much life, Defense mods like armour, evasion or energy shield).
  4. Crafting bench for last prefix (whichever you want, from %Life/Mana to more Armour/Evasion etc.).
  5. Eldritch Ember (lesser!) until you hit “Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras From Your Skills” and Eldritch Ichor (lesser, greater) until you hit either Determination, Grace or Pride “has x% Increased Aura Effect”.
-15 to Total Mana Cost of Attacks
  1. Buy a “Warlord” influenced Astral Plate (ilvl 85 minimum or ilvl 86 if you want 8% phys dmg reduction)
  2. Buy/farm Wild Lifeforce (75 per click, i usually go for 7500 just in case)
  3. Horticrafting Bench modifier -> Reforge ATTACK (This guarantees the -15 mana mod!)
  4. Roll until satisfied with the item!
Step By Step Process

Trading video HERE, Harvest video HERE. To Six Socket & Six Link an item, preferred way is to use crafting bench. Six Socket is 350 Jeweller’s orbs & Six Link is 1500 Orbs of Fusing.

Step 1. Buy a Base
  1. On PoE Trade website, at the top in “Search Items” type “Astral Plate”
  2. Under “Stat Filters” add a stat filter “Has Warlord Influence”.
  3. On the left side, scroll down to “Miscellaneous” and in “Item Level” field type 85 or 86.
  4. If you just want the -15 mana cost mod, buy any ilvl 85+ astral plate, but if you want max physical damage reduction, get ilvl 86+.
Step 2. Buy Wild Lifeforce
  1. When you buy your base, click on the “Bulk Item Exchange” button on the top of search to switch to “Bulk” buying.
  2. In the bar “Highlight items” write “Wild” and Wild Lifeforce is going to shine. Click it on the left, under “Items I want”.
  3. In “Items I have”, select either “Chaos Orbs” or “Divine Orbs” and click search.
  4. Purchase any quantity of Lifeforce that you can afford (I usually buy 7500 for the craft, 75 per click).
Step 3. Astral Plate in Horticrafting Bench and Crafting
  1. Put the Astral Plate body armour that you have purchased in the Horticrafting Bench and in the search bar write “Attack”
  2. Click “Craft” until you’re satisfied with mods.
    Example: Resistances (elemental or chaos), life, armour, physical damage reduction.
Step 4. Crafting Bench for Last Mod
  1. If you have 5 mods (or less!) on the body armour, you can craft the last mod based on your needs.
    Example:
    Prefixes: %Life/%Mana, Flat Life, % armour
    Suffixes: Resistances (elemental, chaos or hybrid)
  2. If you want to gamble with random mods, you can always use an Exalted Orb for the last mod (6!). I do not recommend it, but it’s your choice.
  3. To finish the item and sort out implicit number to 12%, use “Blessed Orb”!
  4. Done!
Evasion + Energy Shield Necrotic Armour (For Chaos Inoculation/CI)

  1. Buy a fractured Necrotic Armour (Item Level 86+!!!) with Fractured Evasion rating (local) [301-375] and To Maximum Energy Shield (local) [73-80].
  2. Use any of the 3 Deafening Essences: Anger/Hatred/Wrath for an elemental resistance (Fire/Cold/Lightning) until you hit T1 (20-22%) Chance to Suppress Spell Damage. If you have an empty Suffix, you can now craft more resistances on the bench!
  3. Apply a Lesser Eldritch Ember (Searing Exarch Influence) to the item and use an Eldritch Chaos Orb to reroll prefixes (Searing Exarch Dominance).
  4. Add an Exalted orb if you have 1 prefix – fractured one, or if you get at least Tier 3 – % increased Evasion Rating and Energy Shield (Higher rolls are more expensive and valuable!) and then hit it one more time with an Exalted Orb to fill in prefixes (repeat steps 3&4 until satisfied).
  5. Once you’re satisfied with your prefixes, use a lesser/greater Eldritch Ichor until you get a modifier “% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Chaos Damage” and Eldritch Ember until you get “% Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras from your skills”.
  6. Crafting bench the suffix if you didn’t before and item’s done.
