Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

"

our arc isnt even level 20 yet, and none of your gems have quality. I would just buy them I think arc 20/20 goes for about 10c if that, the others are probably pretty cheap too.

I'm really new to crafting but just rolled the staff with +3 to level of all lightning spell gems (~2.5k alts used!), and want to ensure my next steps don't brick it.

My understanding based on the crafting guide is that I'd want to wipe off the cold resistance before regal (50/50, but I can imprint it in the beastiary to be safe).

What would you recommend doing after that? Imprinting again and using an augment to see if I get lucky on a suffix?

Imprinting then regaling and moving forward with just the one affix (plus whatever the regal orb gives)?

Thanks

To get rid of the cold resistance you can use a bestiary trick:
+3 to lightning is a prefix
all resistances are suffix
So grab the beast from the market that allows you to:
"add a prefix remove a suffix" pretty cheap 5-10c
That will at least give you a cheaper way to gamble away the cold res for a better mod.

If you want the perfect staff I wouldnt spend too much on a non-influenced staff. Save the big spending until you have a shaper, elder staff. But you can still use a few imprints to get something good.

If you get something you like, regal it (pure gamble) then multimod
If you dont get something you like you can risk an annul orb then use the imprint if you mess it up (but then you may want to make a new imprint). Look out for wether you roll prefixes or suffixes (as you can use that bestiary craft again)

You can get master crafting mods which will lock prefixes, or lock suffixes but thats super expensive high end crafting 2ex crafts.

I would also consider searching the market for a +3 lightning staff that looks good but has no links or sockets. Then its usually pretty cheap to spam jeweller's orbs for a 6-socket and bench craft a 5-link for 125 fusings. That can end up cheaper than trying to craft with imprints at 80c each time or whatever they are now.

Also in case you dont know, make sure you have "advanced mod descriptions" turned on in the options/UI

Good luck

Thanks for the bolded tip, this will reduce the price of my craft by a lot!

EDIT: forgot to imprint and bricked it:

I.. I gotta stop smoking weed

Edit2

can anything be done to salvage this? idk at this point
