Traders and makers who flip crafted wands for profit or craft to optimize a single character.
Basic concept: Why craft a wand for Kinetic Fusillade
Kinetic Fusillade scales exceptionally well with cast speed, projectile damage, and high elemental/hybrid damage when properly supported. A wand offers access to wand-specific implicit mods and high local spell damage, which can amplify the core skill more than most sceptres or staves for certain hybrid/crit builds. Additionally, wands allow precise control over attack/cast speed and critical strike chance via local affixes and crafted implicit/enchanted mods. For many Kinetic Fusillade builds, a wand with the right mix of local spell damage, cast speed, and critical multipliers becomes the single most impactful gear piece.
Best wand bases in 3.27 (high-level)
Primary budget-to-mid bases: Cobra Wand, Goathide Wand (if available), and common caster wands with 210–240 base spell damage.
Competitive / mirror bases: high item-level wands capable of rolling the best local ranges (Vaal wand bases or those with inherently better base spell damage). Aim for item level 86+ for the broadest mod pool and high implicit potential.
Key attributes to inspect on base selection:
Base spell damage range (higher = better scaling).
Attack/cast speed implicit. Some wand bases give better dexterity or int requirements that impact your build.
Item Level: higher item level enables better suffix/prefix options and higher tier enchants.
Stat priorities for an endgame Kinetic Fusillade wand
Focus your craft on these local and global priorities in this order:
Local Spell Damage – core damage multiplier for wand spells.
Local Cast Speed (if available) – reduces cast delay and increases damage/sec.
Increased Critical Strike Chance (local or global) for crit builds; alternatively, aim for local increased elemental damage for non-crit.
Elemental Damage with Attacks/Spells (flat and % where beneficial).
Spell Critical Multiplier or Global Critical Multi (crit builds).
Flat Added Damage to Spells (value depends on build scaling).
Life + Resistances or Quality-of-life mods (culling strike, curse avoidance) as bench crafts or late suffix slots.
Increased Damage Against Enemies on Full Life / Nearby Enemies — situational offensive mods for bossing or maps.
Make sure to leave space for essential defensive requirements elsewhere in your gear; don’t chase life on wand to the exclusion of damage unless bench crafting gives an excellent hybrid mod.
Affix checklist: Specific mods to aim for
Local (on wand): +# to # Spell Damage (highest tier), +#% Cast Speed, +#% Critical Strike Chance for Spells (crit builds), +#% Spell Critical Multiplier (if available), +# to Level of Support Gems (very rare enchants/implicit).
Global: +#% to Elemental Damage with Attacks/Spells; +# to # Flat Added Fire/Cold/Lightning Damage to Spells; +#% Damage over Time Multiplier (if build uses DoT synergies).
Bench: Prefixes for movement speed, life, or resistances; suffix for attack/cast speed or global % damage; mastercraft for cannot roll enchant or for forced mod (e.g., “of the ***” naming).
Enchant: Cast speed or increased number of projectiles/chain/pierce enchants can be game-changing for certain setups.
Enchant and implicit considerations
Enchants on wands can provide unique bonuses like additional projectiles, chance to gain power charges, or extra cast speed. Prioritize enchants that complement your Kinetic Fusillade setup—extra projectiles multiply the skill’s output more than small flat damage increases in many cases. If you plan to mirror-craft, a +1 to level of socketed gems or a cast speed/duration enchant is often the highest-valued outcome.
Defensive and utility mods to consider
to maximum Life or % to maximum life (bench craft or suffix).
to all Elemental Resistances (suffixes) as late-stage craft.
to Energy Shield (if hybrid) but this often competes poorly with raw damage mods on wand—consider elsewhere.
Culling Strike (situational: can be useful to speed map clears but avoid if it reduces boss survivability).
On-hit or on cast effects that grant charges, movement speed, or fortify – great for survivability.
Crafting strategy overview: Tiered approach
I recommend differentiating crafting routes based on how much currency and time you want to invest.
Tier 1 — Budget Route: Use essences, fossils, and basic master bench crafts to reach reliable, inexpensive results for mapping and moderate bossing. Expect strong mid-game power but limited perfection.
Tier 2 — Competitive Route: Use targeted fossils, multi-step craft sequences, and unlocking high-tier bench crafts, plus sustained grinding/trading for desirable bases. This yields a near-top wand suitable for hardcore endgame and high-tier map pushing.
Tier 3 — Mirror Route: Mirror-worthy, high-end craft using advanced techniques, expensive enchants, and potentially a mirrored copy of an already-perfect roll. Plan for high cost, precise base choices, and careful enchant/essence use.
Choosing the right crafting tools and consumables
Fossils: Aberrant, Shuddering, Corroded, Bound, and Frigid are commonly used for spell wands when targeting specific affixes. Aberrant fossils bias for chaos/elemental/broken results—select based on which mods you want.
Essences: High-tier essences (e.g., Essence of Hysteria, Essence of Zeal) can lock desirable prefixes like cast speed or spell damage; essences remove suffixes and give a guaranteed prefix from the essence family. Use them for consistent prefixes.
Catalysts: Use Greater and Prismatic Catalysts to improve the quality of chaos damage, elemental, or hybrid mods. They’re great for small percentage increases and for upping the value of local damage rolls.
Orbs: Alchemy Orbs, Chaos Orbs, Exalts, and Divine Orbs are your late-game currency. Use these at different stages: Alchemy to craft rare items, Chaos to respec suffix/prefix mixes via recrafts, and Exalts/Exarch currency for add/unlock steps.
Harvest crafting or Synthesis bench crafts (if in current league content) can offer specialized outcomes—use them when applicable to get guaranteed desired prefixes or suffixes.
Preparing the base: step-by-step base selection and prep (all tiers)
Identify a high-iLvl wand base (iLvl 86+) with the best base spell damage and implicit you can get for your budget.
Check vendor markets; sometimes crafted bases or exalted bases trade cheaper if you want a specific implicit. Look for low-rolled unwanted affixes to clear later.
Remove or avoid bases with locked low-tier enchantments that reduce available mod entries.
Consider using Harvest or similar mechanics to remove unwanted mods while preserving desirable ones if available.
Tier 1 — Budget crafting route (cheap, fast, reliable)
Goal: Affordable wand with strong local spell damage and sufficient cast speed, usable for mapping and moderate bosses.
Steps:
Buy a good low-cost base (iLvl 80–86) with a high spell damage range.
Use a cheap essence that guarantees a useful prefix (e.g., Essence of Sorrow/Zeal variants depending on availability) to force local spell damage or cast speed. This locks in one strong prefix and clears suffix space.
If the essence roll is acceptable, use Alchemy Orb to make the base rare if it is not, then use Orb of Scouring only if you need to try a different essence or fossil.
Apply a cheap catalyst (if available) to nudge elemental or chaos damage if relevant.
Use Master craft bench to block a prefix and then craft a life/res or movement speed suffix if you have open suffix slots.
Finish with Regal if you want to add one high-value mod and it’s worth the risk for your budget. Alternatively, keep it rare and use crafting bench suffixes for life/res caps.
Notes:
Expect to repeat a few bases with essences—essence crafting is the most predictable for budget crafters.
Avoid exalts or expensive fossils at this tier—save them for the competitive or mirror routes.
Tier 2 — Competitive crafting route (efficient, high-quality)
Goal: Produce a wand capable of clearing endgame boss mechanics and high-tier maps without resorting to mirror-level investment.
Steps:
Source an iLvl 86+ base with the best innate spell damage and acceptable implicit.
Use targeted fossils to bias the craft pool toward desired affixes (e.g., Aberrant for chaos/elemental hybrid; Bound to ensure desirable suffix/prefix preservation). Lock in the best local spell damage roll you can hit.
Use Essences for a guaranteed prefix if fossil runs fail to produce consistent results. Alternating fossils and essences is an effective way to converge on the desired roll without excessive currency use.
When the wand has near-target local spell damage and cast speed, craft it to rare via Alchemy Orbs. Then use Harvest craft splicing or Beastcrafting (if available) to add potent mods like “Nearby Enemies have -#% increased Elemental Resistances” or other high-value bossing mods.
Use Catalysts selectively to raise the quality of specific mod lines (e.g., Prismatic for elemental damage).
Use Bench master craft to add “Cannot be changed” crafts and essential bench mods (e.g., +# to maximum Life) after establishing damage prefixes.
Use Exalts sparingly to add additional prefixes—if you are willing to pay, adding a perfect global mod like “+x% to Spell Critical Chance” via Exalted craft pays back in value.
Key tips:
The goal is to arrive at a 90%+ certainty the wand will perform in high-tier content without perfect rolls.
Save room for one final Divine Orb roll if you want to refine numerical values of affixes.
Tier 3 — Mirror route (highest investment, mirror-quality outputs)
Goal: Craft a wand with perfect affix combinations, perfect numeric tiers, top enchant, and optionally mirror it for trade or worst-case reserve.
Steps:
Acquire the absolute best base available (iLvl 86+, sometimes crafted via Fossil or trade). Aim for a base with the highest top-end spell damage region.
Use meticulous fossil-essence cycles with targeted Fossils (e.g., Gilded, Bound, Aberrant, and Shuddering) to force high-tier local spell damage alongside casting or crit. Keep scrapping until near perfect.
When an excellent rare is obtained, use Harvest/Beastcrafting to add a guaranteed powerful suffix (bench-craft life + resist or a damage multiplier) that is otherwise rare.
Apply a perfect enchant—this often involves multiple enchant attempts; use Vaal Orb techniques where appropriate to lock affixes if needed. For mirror-tier, the enchant must be the absolute best for your skill (e.g., +2 projectiles or +1 to socketed support gems if that’s the highest value for your setup).
Use Fossil-favored methods and exalts to add legendary prefixes; be prepared to slam many Exalted Orbs until a perfect combination appears—this is the expensive part. Consider crafting in steps: complete perfect prefixes first, then perfect the suffixes with divine orb reevaluation.
Once the perfect roll exists, consider creating a mirrored copy via Reality Orbs if your economics allow or purchase a mirrored item from trade if cheaper.
Notes:
Mirror crafting is an art of diminishing returns—each step requires exponentially more currency.
Always maintain backups of the base type and crafting plan; losing a nearly-perfect roll to a bad exalt is a common heartbreak.
Bench crafts and master bench ordering
Order matters when bench crafting. A recommended bench sequence:
Start with damage prefixes (local spell damage, cast speed); secure them through fossils/essences before converting item to rare.
Convert to rare (Alchemy) once prefixes are locked, then craft life/resist suffix via bench.
Apply master bench crafts that lock an additional desirable property (e.g., cannot roll attack mods) only when you're certain the rest of the rolls are optimal.
Use "Imprint" or mastercrafts that prevent certain changes only after you have the exact affix structure you want.
Apply last-step catalysts/bench crafts like movement speed or extra life only as finishing touches.
Always leave one bench craft slot open for emergency fixes (e.g., adding resistances if you find a suffix gap later).
Enchant strategy and how to secure the best enchant
Decide early which enchant is most valuable to your build: more projectiles, cast speed, additional support gem levels, or other skill-specific bonuses.
Use enchant farming or a vendor trade if the league provides a way to craft or buy the specific enchant. If not, prepare to enchant and re-roll the enchant until you land the desired result—enchanting costs can add up, so only attempt enchanting after the base and prefix/suffix structure is near-perfect.
For mirror-tier, plan to repeat enchant attempts on multiple copies or acquire a mirrored version directly.
Practical recipes and examples
Example Budget Recipe (walkthrough):
Base: iLvl 82 Cobra Wand (good trade-off).
Essence: Apply Essence of Hysteria to guarantee a large local spell damage prefix.
Scour/respec if the result is undesirable, then repeat on next base.
Once prefix satisfied, Alchemy Orb to make rare, then bench craft +# life (if suffix slot available).
Use a prismatic catalyst if you need higher elemental damage roll.
Example Competitive Recipe:
Base: iLvl 86 wand from trade.
Fossils: Use Bound + Aberrant to bias the pool to spell damage and elemental hybrids.
Once high local spell damage and cast speed rolled, Alchemy to rare, then harvest craft to add a bossing mod.
Master bench craft +# to Maximum Life as finishing craft.
Example Mirror-level Ideal Stat Line (target):
+# to # Spell Damage (top tier).
+#% Cast Speed (top tier).
+#% Spell Critical Chance and +#% Critical Multiplier (for crit builds).
+#% Elemental Damage with Spells (top tier).
Enchant: +1 Projectile or +2 to socketed support gems (depending on build).
Avoiding common mistakes
Don’t over-craft life on wand if your build achieves life elsewhere—wands usually sacrifice damage to get some life.
Be careful with exalting too early; add high-impact exalts only after prefixes and suffixes are optimized.
Avoid enchant attempts before finalizing numeric affixes; enchants are irreversible and expensive.
Don’t waste fossils/enchant attempts on low-iLvl bases; higher item level expands the mod pool and value.
Always check vendor/market prices before committing to mirror-level crafts—sometimes buying a similarly rolled item is cheaper.
Cost-saving tips and market strategies
Flip bases: buy cheap bases in volume, essence-farm them, keep the best and sell others. This recoups cost.
Use trade channels to buy near-perfect bases that you can finish cheaply rather than starting from scratch.
Pool crafting efforts with friends or guildmates to share expensive enchants or exalts.
If you lack currency for perfect enchant attempts, buy a crafted wand from trade markets designed for your exact spell requirement.
Integration with your build: balancing gear and skill tree
Match the wand’s affinities with the passive skill tree: if your tree emphasizes cast speed and crit, prioritize those on the wand.
Account for weapon base requirements—if a wand raises attribute requirements, reallocate passive points or plan for gear that reduces requirement load.
Your helmet, gloves, and amulet should complement the wand. If the wand lacks resistances, compensate elsewhere.
Socketing: design your socket arrangement and support gem choices before final enchant to ensure support gem levels/enchant effects are valuable.
Testing and verification checklist before finalizing
Damage benchmarks: run a 5x dummy test on a range of bosses and high-HP packs to verify DPS, single-target, and sustained damage.
Survivability checks: run the wand in the toughest maps you plan to farm; confirm life recovery and sustain.
Latency and animation tests: ensure cast speed benefits feel responsive and do not cause desync animation problems.
Vendor/trade value: if the wand is intended for sale, compare against recent market listings to set expected price.
Practical case study: Building a competitive wand (example walkthrough)
Step 1 — Base purchase: Acquire iLvl 86 wand with best base spell damage for 25 Chaos.
Step 2 — Fossil runs: Run Bound + Aberrant fossils 20 times; keep any wand with local spell damage + cast speed in top 5%.
Step 3 — Essence fallback: If fossil runs fail after ~30 attempts, use Essence of Hysteria to lock-in big prefix reliably.
Step 4 — Convert to rare, apply Harvest craft to add +# to maximum life.
Step 5 — Use master bench craft to add +#% to element damage while keeping suffixes for resistances.
Step 6 — Finalize with Divine orb to perfect numeric tiers, and test in high-tier map.
Result: A wand with top-tier local spell damage, near-max cast speed on that base, sufficient life bench craft, and one high-impact suffix for bossing.
When to stop crafting: determining diminishing returns
If the cost to gain the next percent of damage exceeds the marginal value it brings to your clear speed or survivability, stop. Consider selling the item or swapping to an alternative gear slot to realize the same benefit more cheaply. In real terms, if the next exalt or mirror attempt costs as much as a new build upgrade (e.g., new gem setup or watchstone), reassess.
Alternate paths: crafting for non-crit or Trinity-style setups
For non-crit builds, swap critical chance/multiplier expectations for flat elemental/spell damage and increased damage with hits/ailments.
For Trinity setups (where hitting certain thresholds is paramount), prioritize guaranteed +levels to socketed gems or local multi-projectile enchants to maintain synergy.
When designing for Trinity playstyles, ensure local mods don’t conflict with trinity scaling (e.g., stacking too much critical when Trinity expects pure elemental scaling).
Quick reference crafting recipes (compact)
Budget Essence Recipe: Base iLvl 82+ → Essence (Hysteria/Zeal) → Alchemy → Bench +Life → Catalyst if needed.
Competitive Fossil Recipe: Base iLvl 86 → Fossils Bound + Aberrant → Alch → Harvest craft +Life → Master craft +damage suffix → Divine refine.
Mirror Recipe: Base iLvl 86+ → Fossils + Essence cycles → Alch → Maintain prefixes → Enchant perfect → Exalt until all prefixes present → Divine finalize → Mirror.
Maintenance and upgrades over time
Always shop the trade market for upgrades before starting costly crafts; sometimes a marginally better wand is cheaper than crafting from scratch.
Re-evaluate when new patches arrive; meta or affix shifts may increase or decrease the value of certain affixes.
Keep copies of crafting plans and sequence notes so you can replicate the process or hand it to a crafter if outsourcing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wand base should I prioritize first?
Prioritize high item-level wands (iLvl 86+) with the best base spell damage. That base gives the largest headroom for high-tier local spell damage rolls and access to top-level enchant and suffix/prefix pools.
Is it better to buy a near-perfect wand than to craft one?
Often yes. If the market price of a near-perfect wand is less than your expected crafting investment, buying saves currency and time. For mirror-level goals, buying a mirrored perfect wand can be cheaper than crafting multiple exalts and enchant cycles.
Which fossils and essences are safest for reliable rolls?
Essences are the most predictable for budget players since they guarantee a prefix. Fossils give tailored pools and higher upside but are less predictable and may require more attempts. Use Bound, Aberrant, and specific offensive fossils depending on which local mods you want to bias.
Should I craft life on the wand?
Only if the rest of your gear and passive tree cannot secure enough life. Wands trade off damage for life, so prefer chest/helm/gloves for major life investments. Add small life suffixes only as finishing touches if needed.
How do I choose between cast speed and critical chance on a wand?
Choose the stat that scales best with your tree and other gear. If your passive tree and supports emphasize critical specialization, choose critical chance and multiplier. If you rely on sustained damage and faster casts, prioritize cast speed.
Are enchant attempts worth it?
Yes, if the enchant meaningfully multiplies your skill’s performance (e.g., +projectiles, +support gem level). Enchanting is expensive and should be attempted only after the wand is otherwise perfect.
Can I craft Kinetic Fusillade wands in bulk and sell them?
Yes. Bulk crafting with essences or fossils can produce many tradeable wands; keep the top 1–5% and sell the rest. This can be profitable if you optimize your crafting loop.
How do I know when to stop chasing perfection?
When the cost to improve another numeric tier exceeds the practical value it gives you in clear speed or survivability. If a single exalt would only marginally increase DPS but cost as much as a new mapping upgrade, stop.
Final checklist before using or trading your wand
Confirm local spell damage is within target tier.
Verify cast speed or crit stats match your build’s breakpoint needs.
Ensure life/resistances are acceptable; patch up with bench crafts if needed.
Enchant finalized and matching your skill priorities.
Test in a red-tier map and against a boss; validate both clear speed and single-target.
Closing notes
Crafting a top-tier Kinetic Fusillade wand in PoE 3.27 is a series of deliberate decisions: base selection, affix prioritization, craft sequencing, and market awareness. Whether you follow the budget, competitive, or mirror route, the processes here give you a structured path to reach each goal while minimizing wasted currency and time. Keep experiment logs so you can reproduce successful recipes, and don't hesitate to pivot between fossils and essences if one method stalls. Good luck—may your casts be fast and your projectiles devastate the toughest foes.
Step-by-step bench craft script (follow this in-game)
This script assumes you already have a rare wand with your desired damage prefixes (local spell damage, cast speed or crit) and open bench craft slots. Follow the sequence exactly to avoid locking out useful options.
Preparation before you start
Place the wand in your inventory and note its current prefixes and suffixes.
Ensure you have bench craft currency ready: Orbs of Alteration, Orb of Alchemy, Blessed Orb (if needed), Exalted Orb (Tier 2/3 only), Divine Orb (Tier 2/3 only).
Have catalysts, master bench crafts unlocked, and any league-specific crafting currency (Harvest/Beastcrafting items) at hand.
If using enchantments, postpone enchant attempts until the bench sequence is complete.
Bench craft ordering (universal)
If the wand is magic or white, use Orb of Alchemy to make it rare only after you are satisfied with prefixes.
Use Craft: Add a Prefix master craft (if available and relevant) only to secure a missing high-value prefix after you confirm other rolls.
Apply Craft: Add a Suffix bench craft to add life/resist or movement speed as your final utility suffix.
Use Craft: Cannot Roll Attack Mods or similar “cannot roll” mastercrafts only after you have achieved perfect damage-oriented prefixes to prevent unwanted outcomes on subsequent steps.
Use Master Bench Craft: Add special mod (e.g., +# to maximum Life) as the final bench step if available — do this after confirming all damage prefixes and siphon slots are fixed.
Tier-specific bench sequences
Budget tier (fast, cheap, low risk)
Step 1: If the wand is rare already and prefixes are acceptable, skip Alchemy. If not, use Orb of Alchemy to make rare.
Step 2: Use Craft: Add a Suffix to secure + to maximum Life or + to Movement Speed (whichever your build lacks most).
Step 3: Use a Prismatic or appropriate Catalyst to nudge elemental/spell damage numeric values (optional).
Step 4: Finish with Mastercraft: Add Prefix/Suffix only if a cheap bench craft is available; otherwise stop and test in-game. Notes: Don’t use Exalts or Divines at this tier.
Competitive tier (careful, targeted)
Step 1: Confirm prefixes (local spell damage, cast speed) are present. If not, use Essence or Fossil loop before benching.
Step 2: Convert to rare with Orb of Alchemy if still magic.
Step 3: Use Master Bench Craft: Add a Prefix if you need to secure a specific damage prefix you couldn’t get by fossils/essence.
Step 4: Bench craft +# to Maximum Life as a suffix.
Step 5: If available, use Master Bench Craft: Cannot be Changed to lock a desired line before using a Divine Orb to reroll numeric tiers (Divine only after locking structure).
Step 6: Apply a Catalyst targeted to the mod type you want to emphasize (e.g., Prismatic for elemental damage).
Step 7: Final numeric tuning with Divine Orb; stop when desired numeric tiers achieved. Notes: If you plan Exalts, leave room (do not lock all suffixes/prefixes until ready).
Mirror tier (highest investment)
Step 1: Confirm the item is a top iLvl base with desired implicit. Do the fossil/essence grind first; only bench when structure is near-perfect.
Step 2: Convert to rare (if not already) with Orb of Alchemy.
Step 3: Use Master Bench Craft: Add Prefix to fill any missing high-tier prefix you intend to exalt later.
Step 4: Bench craft +# to Maximum Life (mastercraft) and other high-value suffixes (resists or bossing mods).
Step 5: Use Master Bench Craft: Cannot Be Changed to lock the structure for safe exalt/apply sequence.
Step 6: Use Exalted Orbs to add final top-tier prefixes if needed; be ready for multiple attempts.
Step 7: After structure and top exalts are complete, use Divine Orb for final numeric optimization.
Step 8: Final step before enchant: apply Final Mastercraft or Harvest/Beastcrafting mods that are permanent.
Step 9: Enchant only after the above is perfect. If mirroring, run your mirroring action immediately after the enchant and final divine checks.
Quick safety rules while bench crafting
Never apply irreversible crafts (e.g., certain master crafts that lock out desired pools) until you are sure of the rest of the item.
Always leave at least one bench craft slot open for emergency fixes until the last step.
Do not enchant until numeric tiers are finalized. Enchants are permanent and expensive.
Use Alchemy before benching only when you want the rare mod pool; if you need to try more fossil/essence attempts, keep it magic/white until done.
Itemized shopping list for each tier
Below are recommended items to purchase or stockpile for repeatable runs. Quantities are flexible depending on how many wands you want to craft (multiply by 10 for batch runs).
Budget tier shopping list (cheap, high throughput)
Wands (base): 10–30 iLvl 82–86 caster wand bases (e.g., Cobra Wand, common caster wand bases)
Essences: 10–30 of mid-tier essences (e.g., Essence of Hysteria, Essence of Zeal — choose according to available prefixes)
Catalysts: 5–10 (cheap Prismatic or relevant catalyst)
Orbs: 20–50 Alchemy Orbs, 50–100 Orbs of Alteration, 10–20 Chaos Orbs (for trading/quick purchases)
Bench crafts: N/A (use available cheap mastercrafts; stock 10 bench craft uses in currency if league-specific)
Misc: 10–20 Scouring Orbs (for redoing an essence/fossil attempt), 10–20 Jeweller’s Orbs to prepare sockets if necessary
Suggested action: Essence loop on cheap bases; keep the top 5% of results. Use cheap catalysts to boost desired lines and bench +life or movement speed.
Competitive tier shopping list (targeted quality)
Wands (base): 5–15 iLvl 86+ high spell-damage wand bases (trade for the best buys)
Fossils: 20–40 targeted fossil combos (e.g., Bound, Aberrant, Shuddering depending on desired rolls)
Essences: 5–10 high-tier essences as fallback (use sparingly)
Catalysts: 10–20 (Prismatic, Greater, or specific catalysts to push particular mod lines)
Orbs: 30–60 Alchemy Orbs, 30–50 Orb of Alteration, 50–100 Chaos Orbs, 5–15 Divine Orbs for numeric tuning
Master Bench Crafts: Unlock relevant bench crafts (life, cannot roll, add prefix/suffix) — plan for 3–5 mastercraft uses per wand
Harvest/Beastcrafting items: 5–10 (if applicable in your league) to apply guaranteed bossing/utility mods
Misc: 20 Scouring Orbs, currency reserve for potential Exalted attempts (5–20 Exalted Orbs if pushing high end)
Suggested action: Fossil cycles until you approach target prefixes, then Alchemy, then bench +life/resist, Divine to tune numbers. Exalt sparingly.
Mirror tier shopping list (maximum investment)
Wands (base): 1–5 iLvl 86+ perfect candidate base(s) (buy the best available; plan backups)
Fossils: 50–150 target fossils (Bound, Aberrant, Gilded, Shuddering) — expect many attempts
Essences: 10–30 high-tier essences for fallback guarantees
Catalysts: 20–50 targeted catalysts (Prismatic, Greater, Heavy, etc.)
Orbs: 100+ Alchemy, 100+ Alteration, 200+ Chaos, 20–100 Divine Orbs, 50+ Exalted Orbs (budget depends on market)
Master Bench Crafts: Full suite of bench crafts unlocked with enough points to apply multiple high-tier master crafts — plan for 5–10 master uses per wand
Enchantment attempts: Plan for 20–100 enchant attempts depending on rarity of desired enchant (cost varies by league and vendor mechanism)
Mirroring resources: Reality Orbs or equivalent (if available), or currency to buy a mirrored copy on trade markets
Harvest/Beastcraft/Bestiary items: 20–50 premium crafts to secure guaranteed rare mods
Misc: 100+ Scouring Orbs, large currency reserve for on-the-fly buys
Suggested action: Expect heavy iteration. Use fossils+essence loops, then Alchemy, then bench craft sequence, Exalt until all desired prefixes/suffixes present, Divine to finesse numerics, enchant, then mirror.
Quick shopping substitutions and economy notes
If fossils are expensive in your league, substitute with more essences or buy near-perfect base items on trade.
Catalysts can often be substituted by increasing attempt counts if market prices are prohibitive; they speed progress but aren’t strictly required.
For mirror-tier builds, buying a rolled item from trade can sometimes be cheaper than crafting; always compare costs before committing to Exalts/Divines/enchant attempts.
Pool resources with allies or guildmates if enchant or mirror attempts are cost-prohibitive.
One-page printable cheat sheet (condensed)
Pre-craft: Choose iLvl 86+ base; ensure desired implicit.
Budget: Essence loop → Alch → Bench +life → Catalyst → Done.
Competitive: Fossil loop → Alch → Bench +life/resist → Divine tuning → Optional Exalt.
Mirror: Fossil+Essence marathon → Alch → Bench +life/resist → Exalt to fill prefixes → Divine numeric refine → Enchant → Mirror.
Safety: Leave 1 bench slot open, never enchant before finalizing, lock structure only after confirming all desired mods.
