How to craft this chest?

So I should be focusing on the amount of armour being shown.
Asuming that is showing a correct value?

And what kinda of armour value should one aim for for red maps?

Sorry I should have been more clear. The actual armor number is correct. The estimated damage reduction is a lie.

How's your resistance? If you need help capping it out, Astral Plate is best. If you plan on doing Eldritch implicits, not so much.

Saintly Chain is expensive because of all the people playing Righteous Fire. If you plan on doing eldritch, I would do a Glorious Plate instead.

I'm currently sitting at 14k armour :(
So glorious plate is will be (my resists are 119/124/114, so those are fine, even with -20 lower resist mod on a map).

The only problem with glorious plate is that I need a 5 blue / 1 green armour.
Which is hell to get on a str armour with chromatic orbs.

And if I look for 6 linked 5 blue / 1 green glorious plates on trade, all I see are corrupted ones.
Can you do eldritch implicits on corrupted items?

If you buy it linked I would use the 3 chrome recipe to get 3 blue sockets and then harvest spam for non blue to blue and then you non green to green if you dont have one or gamble with vorici for white sockets.

Can always do the jeweler method but then you have to link yourself.

Just go with the Saintly Chainmail or even one tier lower if it's too expensive tbh.

You're not going for armour modifiers on the chest and you're not investing heavily into armour. The colors aren't worth the trouble since you are not going to craft something insane.

Try to always stay within your budget. Otherwise you'll end up with nothing and maybe even mad >:C

Agreed. Might even do the Vaal Regalia to be honest if the stats work for you given you need 5 blues.
