Reforge item with influence harvest craft not working

When I put in my desired item it says it cannot use the item because it is not influenced. But that is the purpose of the craft, or so it reads. "Reforge a normal, Magic or Rare item with random modifiers, including an Influence modifier. Influence modifiers are more common" it does not say reforge an already influenced item.

I understand that, but reading it seems like it's supposed to add influence to a non influenced item. If that's not the case I'm confused as to the purpose of this T4 craft.

I think the item has to be able to have the ability to have a special influence.

Such as Hunter belts, crusader..etc. This way it has an unique pool of mods.

If you use a hunter's exalted orb and give a stygian belt the Hunter Influence, then the craft should work, in case you wanted to roll from Chaos damage to % life, or vice-versa kind of thing.

Or, after you give it an influence, you can then essence/fossil craft and itll have that special mod pool able to be rolled

forcing untagged/or tagged mods that have no related reforge on influenced bases.

that craft is worth multiple exalts btw if you sell it on TFT, its extremely necessary for crafting certain things(like prefixes on an int stacker amulet)
