It's more important to have the +3 than the maraketh base. When you're ready to craft your own dual res bow, that's when you go for maraketh. You'll always be able to sell your old bow and recover the cost

That's exactly the case here. I have my masters at max (Leo 3), so I believe I can do the crafting. So not sure if I should take my chances with RNG love or go risk-free with less convenient weapon.


What I did (and your mileage may vary), is I bought a 6 socket Markarth bow for 4 chaos and 5 linked it. Rolled +2 to bow gems and used that for awhile. As I built currency and alts, I would regal/scour until I got the right combination for multimod. Then I saved currency to multimod. It took me about 2 weeks I think, not really sure...but I just handed 1500 fusings over to my bud for the 6l.



That is what I am working with now. Next goal is a carcass jack. I'm currently using a Queen of the Forest.

I bought a 6LHarby and rolled the right mods I needed for my build with like 1200 Alts + 6 Regals. The bow was around 6 ex on Hardcore Tali. In my opinion the bowbase is not so relevant like most of the hipsters trying to tell you; a well rolled Quicksilver will even out the 6% MS you loose with any other base than a Maraketh.

Yeah, it's mostly a min-max thing, although it has greater relevance for other variations that don't run dual quicksilvers.

I don't need a ToH or any other unique Utility Flask for running Canyons 24/7 with this build.

Yes thank you Chrono! You've helped me a ton!

Have a well-deserved break before Ascendancy!

Besides of obvious answer of "RNG is RNG," how many Regals are you guys burning through before hitting +2 bow gems?

I bought this 6L with the intention of crafting a 2 resistance bow, but I've dumped in now around 100 regals/scours with still no +2 bow gems.

Just wondering if I should keep persisting with this, or if I've wasted enough currency and I should just alt the +2 and make a "random mod" +3 rare.



(Only reason it's a blue now is so I had something to use while I farmed more Regals)


Thanks!

To be honest, I think this is gonna be a better method. It's what I did to get my +3...then I wait and multimodded for Leo Dot and Tora Dual Res.

---- alt/aug spam until +2 bows AND a suffix
---- regal hoping for a second suffix (if not scour and start again)
---- Cannot Roll Attack mods (1ex)
---- Exalt for guaranteed +1 gems (1ex)
---- Scour Cata mod and Leo mod for DOT (1 scour 5 alch)
