Ailment Immunity Boots
Step By Step Process
In order to get ailment immunity, you will need to craft these boots and obtain a jewel called Stormshroud which will change “Chance to avoid Being Shocked” into “Chance to avoid all Elemental Ailments”. This gives us ailment immunity once you socket it in the jewel socket in the passive skill tree! You need total of 100% combined (or one of) “Chance to Avoid Being Shocked” and “Chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments”.
Step 1 – Choosing a Fractured Mod

- We can start with either Life or Elemental Resistance fractured mod. Whichever way you go, both boots got the same/similar outcome.
- Going for boots 1, you get guaranteed life and you can do the same thing as I did in the video above. 2 resistances, chance to avoid being shocked and GG. These boots are meant for people who do NOT need additional spell suppression chance!!!
- Going for boots 2, these are meant for people to roll spell suppression chance way easier than boots 1 as you only roll the chance for spell suppress and not 2 mods.
- Written guide will cover the boots 2 with spell suppression.
- Choose your boots wisely.
Step 2 – Buying a Base

- 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)
- Click Show Filters on Top Right side and then input:
- Left side:
Item category – Boots
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 = 85 (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. - Once you do all of this, click “Search” at the bottom of the page and buy yourself a base from another player!
Step 3 – If Needed, Regal Orb The Base

- 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.
- This makes the item yellow in color, which is called a “Rare” item.
- Proceed to Step 4
Step 4 – Buying Essences To Craft

- These essences are called “Essence of Torment”. Tiers go from Whispering to Deafening, where the latter has the highest tier of rolls (Essence Tier). I suggest buying Deafening Essences of Torment as they are generally not expensive to play around with. If they are, then go for Shrieking or Screaming. DO NOT go UNDER Screaming!!!
- Buying Essences: go to https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/ – which is “Bulk Item Exchange” from PoE Trade.
- 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 Torment” and it will give you a selection of all Torment Essences to choose from. - Essence tiering goes from Weeping to Deafening. More on Essences on PoE Wiki and my PoE 4 Dummies: Essences video.
- We are looking for “Deafening Essence of Torment” which give us “Chance to avoid being Shocked” modifier as a suffix on boots. (It also gives the same modifier on other armour, but generally it is best used on boots)
- 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.
- When you buy Essences, proceed to Step 5.
Step 5 – Use Essences To Craft

- You want to use your Deafening Essences of Torment in order to get Chance to Avoid Being Shocked and a third suffix which is Chance to Suppress Spell Damage. Preferably you’d want T1 Chance to Suppress Spell Damage.
- Continue until you get T1 Suppress.
- If you have used boots 1 from Step 1 (Life Fracture), any Elemental Resistance that you get by crafting with Essences, can be changed via Harvest Bench (Video HERE).
- After you’re done, proceed to Step 6.
Step 6 – Add Eldritch Influence (Implicit)

- When you’re done with step 5, you want to apply an Eldritch Ember (I suggest lesser first, or you can go to greater immediately).
- 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.
- 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).
- For modifiers that you can get via Eldritch Currency, click HERE (Searing Exarch Modifiers) and HERE (Eater of Worlds Modifiers)
- I suggest going to PoEDB and in Modifiers page you choose the boots that you have (DEX, INT, STR or combinations).
- When you are done applying the influence, go to Step 7.
Step 7 – Prefix Crafting (Eldritch Chaos Orb)

- 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!) - 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!
- 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
Movement Speed 20% or more (I prefer crafting bench movement speed!) - If you get 2 good mods (T3 and above), you can proceed to Step 8. If you get 1 good mod, you can re-roll again with Eldritch Chaos orb or just proceed to Step 8 to save currency!
Step 8 – Finishing Prefixes (Crafting Bench)

- After Step 7, 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 - Using an Exalted Orb, you can get a second prefix that is COMPLETELY RANDOM in TIERING (which means you can get as low as T9 (example, T9 life is 3-9 life!) and I do NOT suggest doing this, unless you want to try your luck!
- For crafting bench modifier, you can choose to add what you do not have, as an example, I added movement speed & onslaught on kill, which is my favorite crafting bench mod for boots. If you already have movement speed on boots, you can craft life or more evasion/armour!
- When satisfied, proceed to Step 9.
Step 9 – Completing The Item (Implicit Crafting)

- Once you’re done with Step 8, you will need some Eldritch Embers and Ichors to get modifiers that you need for the boots in order to finish it.
- The modifiers that we need are:
Searing Exarch – Chance to Avoid being Shocked
Eater of Worlds – Chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments - Once you obtain both of these modifiers, you should have at least 56+33=89% chance to avoid being shocked (implicits can be re-rolled with Blessed Orb!) and 15% chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments.
- Proceed to last step to get ailment immunity.
Step 10 – Obtaining Elemental Ailment Immunity Via Stormshroud

Stormshroud is a jewel that allows us to change “Chance to avoid Being Shocked” to “Chance to Avoid all Elemental Ailments”
As our boots have more than 100% combined Chance to Avoid being Shocked and Avoid Elemental Ailments, once you put in the jewel in the passive skill tree (in a Jewel Socket), you will be Ailment Immune.
