Delve crafting is completely useless.

Fossil crafting is the best crafting in this game. It doesn't guarantee the mods you want but you have a very high chance for them. The most important thing about it though - you can exclude mods you don't want. It is bloody amazing what can you target craft. So get some more fossils and try few more times!

Like that chest, but you could have potentially had a 7 link there with maim xD

(also its only 20 quality)

In addition to using fossils that have "more" modifiers you need those that block unwanted modifiers, hence the need to use 3 and 4 socket resonators if you really want to tailor the results.

Speak for yourself, homie. Fossil crafting is awesome, and I hope it gets added to the core game.

Them sexy sexy booties man!

Goetzjam, I somehow missed the part with maim, damn I could have tried for that for sure! Wasn't concerned about quality much, not a true AR chest really.

Aight my turn, as an Ice Stormer, I am going to keep this for a while I think :



I will try to get elder/shaper nice glove bases and craft it next, and then maybe try again for the helmet.

@ OP, I can take all your useless fossils and resonators if you think that way :)

I use my fossils to alch maps, so I don't use up alchemy orbs. Its pretty good that way, as there are a lot of fossils and 1 socket resonators.

Otherwise, yeah. Another crafting system that will probably get a stash tab and will remain mostly forgotten like the essences.

I find this surprising that you think they are just like essences. They are more then that though. While unlike essences (where they give a for sure modifier every time), they allow you to specify mods by blocking as well as selecting more of a theme that you might want.

As for a stash tab, its logical and I wouldn't even be mad, I've been trying to craft something every single day (sometimes multiple things), especially using all of the enchanted fossils I find on various helm bases and I still fill up pretty quickly on my tabs that I'm using to store them.

I'm in the process of organizing the tabs so at least fossils are more centralized and the resonators I can grab out as I need from another (set) of tab.


I was curious what sort of character(s) you were playing this league, but your character tab is private so I can't see if you have any crafted items or anything.




Found the base last night, was VERY happy about that. Then made this. Ultimately I think I want higher rolls but I can deal without any res and it mostly gives what I was looking for.



As for using them to alch maps, I think that is largely a waste, what else are you going to use alchs for?

I don't see a reason to get excited over "the item you roll has less chance to be crap". Even after using the fossil for "higher level mods" (or whatever) the results I got were just random chaos orb results. At least with essences 1 mod is sure to be exactly as the essence states it will be.

An alchemy orb does exactly what it says it does. I know its value and I can trade it. The fossils do things that I have 0 patience to learn over hours of fruitless attempts at RNG. No attack mods? Well OK. Whatever that means. More fire mods? Like the life regen, 1-5 lightning damage and 10% lightning resistance I just rolled? OK. At least for map mods I don't really care what gets rolled.
