Not sure if there's a way to get shaper influence on it without shaper exalted orb, so i'll try to get a shaper kill before crafting.


If you only need the influence and don't need to hit a shaper exalt slam for a particular mod, you can randomize an item's influence with harvest. So any of the influence exalts will get there.

Well, seems like i have a lot to learn about crafting. I'm playing on trade league, but i thought it becomes very boring when i buy whatever i need from the trade. Moreover, i managed to defeat Shaper, but in six portals. I guess i have to practice it a bit if i want one-portal run.

Now about the helmet: i've got a ilvl 82 crown from the ritual and bought shaper's exalt and a bunch of corrupted essences.

crafting i did
1. Obtain acrhdemon crown (possibly ilvl 84, but 82 was fine);

2. single Shaper's exalt slam to get the influence;
OR
2.1. get ANY influence no the helmet
2.2. Harvest Randomize influence untill you get shaper's influence

3. spam essence of horror (30% more elemental damage) OR hysteria (30$ more damage when on low life) until you get hypothermia, trap and mine damage or flat critical chance

4. fill with other mods (exalted orb or crafting bench)

My result is:



There's another method i thought about. It's more effective, but requires expensive fossils i don't have currency for:

other method
1. and 2. are the same

3. Spam Faceted & Glyphic fossils until you get 30% more damage from Faceted fossil and two other useful suffixes, which are Hypothermia, trap and mine damage or flat critical chance

(optional)
4. Add "Increased area of effect" as a prefix. First step is to make sure you have a free prefix and 1/2 annul if you dont;

4.a. Suffixes cannot be changed, scour, block mana, two exalt slams, repeat if you didn't get what you wanted. Very reliable, but you'll need about 18 exalt slams which is expensive

4.b. Craft "suffixes cannot be changed" and use "Reforge influence" from harvest. It will reforge prefixes only and will add an influence modifier. You'll need about two reforges, which is very cheap. However, if you fill prefixes, you have to 1/2 annul. If you remove suffix, return to step 3.


Now i think about crafting a +2 dagger for myself. Crafting method is the same as described here.
However, i don't need any "damage over time", therefore i'll get other fractured mod and final multicraft.

I've made the knife:


crafting process
1. take rune dagger with fractured global crit multi / other usefull suffix, scour to make it magic. Make sure you've got the lowest level possible, but higher than 55;

2. use alteration & augment orbs until you hit +1 to level of all spell skill gems. I recommend to use "+1 to" regex so you won't lose focus;

3. Regal orb. If you somehow hit +1 to level of fire spells, the craft is finished. Otherwise, 1/2 annul. If you remove level of all pells, repeat step 2

4. multimod - cannot roll attack - added fire damage to spells. Use "Add fire" harvest craft. Since the only non-blocked fire modifier is the "+1 to level of all fire spells", it will be added. Random modifier will be removed and there's 1/4 chance that you lose "+1 to level of all spells". In this case you'll have to restart from step 2.

5. (haven't done yet) finish with multimod - trap throwing speed - any good prefix.


Interesting fact: I found out, that in the trade league elder guardian maps cost about 6c (chaos orbs) and drop you a fragment that cost about 16c. Free money, right? I also managed to do a maven invitation with these guards. That's how i get all the currency i needed to make this knife.

Now let's get back to the challenge:

Incarnation of Neglect: This fight is the best one i had in this challenge. Boss could easily destroy me with his default attack (three accelerating projectiles) and i had to avoid them as much as i could. As a result, i was dashing around, occasionally throwing some traps into him. And he was also dashing around, occasionally attacking me. We were two duelists fighting each other to the death. Just like the game was trying to say: "You should forget any neglectance. Show your respect."

Incarnation of Fear: For some reason i couldn't see dangerous fireballs that deal huge fire DoT. I died a couple of times because of it. The rest of the battle was simple enough. Incarnation of Fear is slow and my fire resistance was good enough to survive his attacks.

Incarnation of Dread: I couldn't record the end of the questline properly. My OBS was lagging very hard, therefore the whole fight was nothing but a slideshow. This recording seems to be much better. Well, the whole fight is as easy as Incarnation of Fear fight.

Final PoB: https://pobb.in/Yom1wXuU3V45. I've taken this from poe.ninja and changed configuration a bit:
- I'm always on low life because of my RF
- I always have maximum endurance charges because of low life and my graft
- Wave of Conviction applies fire exposure. I can cast it twice and always hit the fire exposure in the game.
- Enemy is on brittle ground, generated by my boots. What i have to do is to run through the enemy and it'll have this effect.
- I'm in sand stance, just like in the game itself.

I will continue with this build. It's strong enough and can tank some damage. My goal is to increase life pool (3k total life is too low) and get some protection from chaos damage. Chaos inoculation will remove about half of my damage, but will grant immunity to chaos damage. I guess i'll take it and find (buy from trade) Aegis Aurora for insane damage mitigation.
