how to make the most out of fracture suffix crafts for an ele hit bow?

ok so i have 5 ilvl 100 imperial bows that i alt spammed to get 1 or 2 additional arrows and thats the only mod on it, i plan on tryinng to fracture it on them but was wondering is there any other suffixs that i could deterministacally put on the bows so that when some of the fractures inevitably not land on the arrow mod it would still be something worth selling to even get just a portion of my money back on it? for the +1 arrow mod the method wouldnt matter if i had to completely scour and hit some other mod first before i put the arrow mod on there, but the +2 arrow mod i wont risk losing..is there any methods or is it pretty much just fill it with whatever and hope i dont brick it?

Not sure if you are new or not, but this sounds like a good way to lose money.


First, you need either full prefixes/suffixes or 5 affixes in order to use the fracture harvest craft. So even though its cheaper to roll +1-2 bow attacks using alterations than chaos orbs, chaos orbs should be cheaper overall when you factor in the cost of adding 2+ mods.

Second, crafting the item further for additional good mods will be expensive, so much so that you may as well be crafting the bow properly in the first place. Crafting the bows once you have hit +2 bows with alterations is really inexpensive and relatively deterministic (may need to repeat some steps, but all up very cheap for a high-end bow). Any other fractured mod that could have some value, perhaps T1 AS/Crit or anything has significantly lower value than the cost that it would take to get these mods onto your item.

As I imagine you are aiming for a high-end craft, you should just set a search for bows with the mod you want and 2 suffixes or 4 suffixes (can just bench craft a mod) and hit it with fractures. The duds will be worthless, but thats that okay.
