clarification for "prefixes cant be changed" crafting

So I've got these 2 items i'd like to scour the suffixes off then multimod crit + atk speed.


Is this as simple as crafting the mod "prefixes cannot be changed" and scouring them?
Will the wand stay rare with only 2 mods or will it turn blue?

Scouring removes *all* modifiers. I'm pretty sure that includes the "prefixes cannot be changed" modifier as well.

Pretty much yes, you need to have a suffix slot open to craft 'prefixes cannot be changed', scouring will remove all suffixes along with crafted mod, leaving just prefixes.

You can't downgrade item rarity class by removing mods, a rare item will stay rare even if it has only one mod.

it would be silly, sure, but what if someone used this mod and scour a rare that has no prefixes?

also, wondering what would the vendor price of one mod rare be

Depends on the mod, as per usual. Vendor prices are determined by the value of an item's modifiers, and there's the couple overriding socket-related values (chrome/6s/6l). The base item and its rarity only give you a Wisdom scrap.

I was referring to the Orb of Scouring vendor value of 2-mod rare. I guess you did not suspect me from not knowing the basics you describe:)

I'm guessing using a scour will make any item that's left with just one prefix at the end, a magic item.

There are ways to make a one prefix rare though.

Right, saw a few of those, can't say I ever bothered to make one as the question is pretty much academic.

Ok, then, SpaceJanitor, turns out you actually can downgrade an item to magic, but your 2 affix rare wand will stay rare.

I always wonder if crafting multimod or if u could chaos spam it to get higher roles... I do neither but every know n then I fight off the temptation to find out..
