How to save prefixes and scour???

Hey, I am new to poe. And extremely new to crafting. So I am being overly cautious. I bought a item lvl 91, Harbinger, and kept throwing alterations till I got a "Tyrannical" with 155% increased physical damage and +187 accuracy rating. I then Regaled it to get "Adds 35 to 64 Physical Damage". So now it is the below bow:



now I want to remove the "+187 accuracy rating"

I have heard that one can protect the prefixes from scouring.
I don't know how it is done.

So my questions are as follows:

1. In my bow which are the prefixes and suffixes? And how do I know which are which generally?

2. How do I protect my prefixes and scour the bow to remove the accuracy rating.

3. Once That is done, what mods should I craft on it and how? (FOR MY TORNADO SHOT/PURE PHYSICAL/CRIT BUILD)

Please answer at the earliest in detail since I am just learning the game.

Thanks a tonne in advance :)

I'm no expert when it comes to crafting since i usually buy my stuff rather than craft it myself, but i will tell you what i know. Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty positive that there is no way to protect any mods from scouring (not counting implicit mods like enchantments). Haku has a crafting mod that say's "Prefixes can not be changed" but even if you have this, you would still scourge your bow to a white item. This mod is useful if you want to divine a certain mod to a higher value, or maybe for a chaos spam, but the mod itself is quite expensive.

To learn which mod is a suffix or a prefix, go to this website http://poeaffix.net/index.html and select the type of item.

When it comes to your bow its possible that you currently have 2 prefixes because %inc phys and accuracy could be what we call a "hybrid roll" and is actually counted as a single mod.(check website i linked for). There is a way to check this if you try to sell your bow to a vendor, if it gives you 7 alt shards, it should be a hybrid roll. So i would assume you would want to use Elrion "Can craft multiple mods" mod on it and then use the other masters to craft crit chance/crit multi/ attack speed. You can only craft 2 of those that i mentioned, because Elrion mod is considered a suffix.

Scouring a "pre/suffixes cannot be changed" item will not turn it into a white item.

It will remain with only prefixes, also removing the stat "xx cannot be changed".

@OP: as stated above: craft prefixes cannot be changed, scour it. Multimod with elreon, then craft Attackspeed + critchance (CC goes a long way, pushing the base), then I'd exalt it and hope for hybrid. If hybrid GG - if not, still pretty good!

That's good to know. I have found some topics on reddit that were claiming otherwise, like i said i never tried it myself.
if you alterated the bow to have phys percentage and accuracy the prefix most likely isn't a pure tyrannical but a lesser physical + (physical + accuracy)-hybrid mode.

you can test that by putting the item into the bow crafting bench and see if you can craft a prefix onto it.

if yes, you should try exalting the item after removing the suffixes and master crafting new suffixes.

if no, there is no open prefix and scouring the suffix will leave some accuracy (from the hybrid prefix) on the bow.

just in case you're wondering ;)
