Do harvest crafts abide the bench rules, e.g. "prefixes cannot be changed"?

To give a specific example:



The goal here is to remove the shock chance while not removing either the lightning as extra chaos or t1 chaos res, so "remove chaos" and "remove lightning" are out of the question.

However, I can target-remove spell crit, opening a suffix spot to craft "prefixes cannot be changed".

Will the harvest crafts abide the rule of the above mentioned bench craft, and will I be able to target-remove shock chance via "remove lightning mod."?

My guess is not, since there are some meta-crafty alternatives provided in the higher tier seeds. But I haven't actually tested so someone else will have to weigh in.

If harvest crafting currently honors meta crafts, it likely won't in the future - assuming there is a future in some form.

What I did test and it worked was on the following item:



Before the multicraft, the mace had just the spell damage, low tier crit multi, and explode mod.

I crafted "Cannot roll attack modifiers", and each time I used "remove crit/add crit", it rolled crit multi. There were at least 6 attempts with "cannot roll attack modifiers", and none of them rolled crit chance.

So it would appear that "cannot roll attack modifiers", in fact, worked.

Interesting, and good to know. I bet they will kill that if it goes core in any way, but at least for now we know!
