Finished my mirror wand!

Hey guys. Just wanted to show my big weapon craft for the season I’m pretty stoked with it!

I play CoC bloodmage with many different elements so I needed +5 all spell. Because of this, I didn’t have to buy a ilvl 81 which saved me some money. I then p Aug and anul slammed until I got t1 spell and t1 cast speed. I hit it with a crit greater essence to add t3 crit in case fracture failed, I wanted all good mods to roll from. Got lucky and hit spell damage.

After playing around on craftofexile I realized that +4 needed to be done with chaos. If I tried to whittle or desecrate I’d surely go broke. Took about 480 chaos. Probably 300 greater and 180 perfect. Hit +4.

I then desecrate prefix and reveal mana, any tier to block for ex slams. Hit t5 mana first try. Get a sinister ex omen and slam with 2for1. Hit t1 fire gain and t2 cold. I then omen of light mana and desecrate suffix for t1 mana regen. +4 is ilvl 78, cast speed t1 is 80 and crit 76. Mana regen and mana on kill t1 are both 79 meaning if it hit, a whittle would risk +4. So I blocked the 79 and whittled. Hit t1 cast speed fast like 6 whittles. While whittling, rolled a prefix for mana then hit other t1 gain.

Now for the most brutal part of the craft. I think I spent 49 omen of light, echos and jawbones. 39 of which were ancient. I rolled over t2 crit early and then t3 and t4 before losing my cool. I decided I’d take t2 before breaking another mirror. I broke a mirror for this craft and had about 800d left which isn’t bad. Luckily I had a few locks saved up and was determined to finish.

First lock was mediocre. It was 30/30/118 over 4/35/57. The div from the lock made it 30/29/118/4/35/59, took the extra crit.

Second lock and boom! My only t2 got rolled well into t1 and everything else hit well too. Super stoked and probably will be able to sell for 3-4. Gl all!

I think the cost of mana block and omen of light costs more than ? I think 50/50 is fine on prefix. There's w few interesting options. For instance you could sinister annul, sinister erase, whittle but you could also sinister crystallisation and essence of the abyss. If it lands on a suffix you could keep revealing for your third suffix not 100% proof but it saved me s lot of currency considering it's only 100d or so to regain spell +4 while omen of light cycle is extremely expensive it's like 110-120d per cycle. Trying to hit T1 cast speed or crit. The idea is here basically trying to finish the desecrate with essence of the abyss before prefix. Doing the prefixes is super easy it's like a 5.3% chance to hit extra cold and extra lightning. Even if you have to do sinister annulment occasionally its not too bad.

I still have nightmares of my first wand craft where I never got T1 crit. My second wand craft tried the abyss tech and it was a lot easier to hit it.

Nice craft and sanc hit.

You got really lucky on the Cast Speed whittle, IMO.

From personal experience, the cheapest (while also being the most painful) way to to get +4 All Spells and T1 Cast Speed on there is to chaos on one and dextral exalt slam the other. With the whittle method, 9 times out of 10 you're going to roll on Mana Per Enemy Kill even if you have T1 Regen blocked. Then there's the setup cost of both the prefixes (ensuring they're high enough ilvl) and suffixes (can get bad RNG on the regen reveal). You can easily blow through 1K+ divs on this step and be back to square one.

T1 Crit is best rolled on by abyss marking a prefix into a suffix (even if you have both T1 Gains you need on it already). This ends up being much, much cheaper than finishing prefixes and then moving on to reveal Crit via desecration with Ancients. Once T1 Crit is on there, you can finish the Gain prefixes in 5-10 erasures/whittles. It's actually better than using an Ancient (iLvl40+) because the majority of prefixes with the higher weights and much higher ilvl than 50 are going to be the ones that you slam on with perfect ex. If Crit shows up on the reveal, it's almost always T1 (T1 Chance is 76 and T2 is 59). Straight up revealing T1 Crit with Ancients can set you back a mirror+ unless you get really lucky.

I've crafted a few of these x6 T1s using this method in ~1/3 - 1/2 of a Mirror just in the roll costs (excluding cost of the T1 Spell Dmg Fracture). It takes much, much longer but you save a ton.
