+2/+1 bow crafting

I want to craft a +2/+1 bow. According to the wiki you can:

1. Craft a single mod magic bow with the Sharpshooter's prefix (+2 to socketed Bow Gems).
2. Craft Catarina's Cannot roll Attack Mods meta-crafting mod (suffix).
3. Use a Regal The Fletcher's prefix (+1 to socketed Bow Gems) is guaranteed to spawn.

I just don't understand how the +1 (that should be paragon's prefix instead of fletcher's first of all...) is guaranteed to spawn when you can still get a resist (suffix) when you regal.

If someone could explain the reason why you get that +1 every time instead of a resist that would be nice. Thank you!

You gotta mastercraft suffixes that there is only that one prefix left, as cannot roll attacks mod is a prefix, thus you will get a +1

Read the wiki again (3 times) then u get it.

This is the first technique explained no? As shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OphDnjgLOTM

There is no more room for a suffix and the only prefix you can roll is +1. The final result should be something like this bow with the alternative technique: http://imgur.com/cqk2Dwt

Maybe this guy got lucky when he used the regal and got the +1 immediately, scoured the catarina mod and crafted multimod... I don't know

What he is telling you is what is happening in the video. You need to block all 3 suffixes one of them being the master mod "cannot roll attack mods". Then you the exalted for plus 1.

So you roll +2, then add cata mod, then regal and hope for suffix - if suffix you proceed, if prefix you start over.

(Probaly cheapest solution just to regal a magic bow with 2+ bow and 1 suffix and hope for a suffix at the first stage)

(Double check this with the guide before spending exas, but Im fairly sure this is how I did it a couple of times.

There are 2 ways to do it:

(Shamelessly taken from Serleth's Caustic Arrow Guide):



Option_1
Take any iLVL 64 bow, preferably a cheap 6 link with MS or high APS.
Roll single stat +2 bow gems
Add Cannot roll attack mods
Regal (safe cause the only prefix that can roll is +1 Gems)
If you hit the +1 gem good
if not exalt
after you hit +1 gem remove the Cat Mod and add the Leo mod for DOT
if you want Reroll the Leo mod until 30%
Exalt out the remaining suffixes




Option_2
1) Take a white bow
2) Mastercraft a suffix (which will turn it blue)
3) Regal
4) If necessary, scour and repeat 2 & 3 until you get +2 bow gems (it has to be +2 bow gems, can't be +1 all gems)

At that point, you will have a rare bow with +2 bow gems and a mastercrafted suffix. Which you then bench-scour with Tora's bench, which will leave you with a rare bow that has just +2 bow gems.

* Then multimod (Elreon)
* Then "Cannot Roll Attack Mods" (Catarina)
* Then mastercraft a random suffix / random prefix so you only have one prefix left
* Exalt +1
* Use a master to bench-scour (remove crafted mod) so you're left with just a +2/+1 bow
* Then multimod again and mastercraft two resistances on it to make gearing everything else easier, and of course Leo's DoT mod



Basically Option 1 just gets you a +3 bow with other random mods, but is slightly less expensive. Option 2 is more expensive but gives you control over the other affixes via master crafting.

(crafting cant roll& ex)


You need to regal and hope for a suffix if I am correct. If you get a suffix you add cannot roll atk mod and you exalt. You will get +1 since all your suffix are used (resist, cannot roll and the mod added when you regal) and the only prefix available to roll is +1. Hope that helped you understand!
