Question harvest craft (augment vs reforge)

Hi guys,

any experienced crafters here?

If I want to make a triple elemental 2-handed weapon, with a non-fractured base (synthesized), I would proceed as follows:

- spam essences, until you hit another t1 (or t2)
- for the third element, use harvest crafting. Do prefixes cannot be changed craft, then harvest reforge OR harvest augument (add element), and hope to get a good roll of elemental damage and no resist.

Is there any difference in chance between the two harvest crafts?
I would check myself, but unsure where to see the chances to get a certain roll. I only found the emulator on the crafting website, which is quite useful, but doesnt show concrete numbers.

Includes also suggestions for new features and content.

No different in mod weights between the crafts. Both of the options guarantee you get a modifier with the tag type of your choice. The weights for which modifier you get, or what tier of that modifier are unrelated to the harvest bench at all.

To see these, go to craft of exile calculator and put in the base type and item level. The tables will show you the weight % for each mod and mod tier. Those are the applicable weights for any type of crafting that doesnt have an explicit impact on weights (for example fossils have More/Less/No effects to specified mod types. The weight effect of those can be seen on the crafting calculator page as well, by selecting fossil as crafting type. )
