So I decided to go for crafting a weapon since I feel most of my other gear is set.

I ended up with this:

I'm very annoyed right now because in my excitement, I crafted the wrong prefix, so there goes 2ex down the drain. I'm going to recraft as soon as I can get a couple more ex and change the "7% Lightning as extra chaos" to the Spell Damage + Non-Chaos as Extra chaos mod.

To anyone who has been asking questions or wondering about crafting a weapon, here's what I did. Be prepared, just for the multimod + one of the mods, you're looking at 3ex and that's not counting the anulls+alts you'll need, so make sure you know what you're getting into.

Spoiler

1) Get an ilvl 85+ Void/Opal Shaper Sceptre. (For wands or daggers, I don't know what base you want). Void/Opal both have the highest Elemental Damage Implicit, just different attribute requirements.
2) Alt spam until you hit "Gain #% of Elemental Damage as Extra Chaos Damage" Prefix. ilvl 85+ can have the highest tier at 8%. Mine rolled T2 but I had a great suffix so I kept it. Depending on your currency, use an orb of augmentation every time you hit a 1 suffix no prefix roll to see if can augment on the prefix you want.
3) If you get your Prefix roll and a bad suffix, annul and augment until you get a good suffix or your prefix gets rolled off, then back to step 2. I think in the current economy it is more cost effective to annul at this stage because I was only hitting that prefix on average 1 time out of every 40-60 alts.
4) Once you get your prefix/suffix combo, regal and hope you get a good 3rd mod. If not, annul and hope it's the bad one or scour and back to step 2.
5) Time to Multi-Mod. This mod comes from a recipe in the Pale Court. You can either get it yourself or sometimes people give this away or sell in Global 820. It also costs 2ex to craft this.
5) The way Multimod works now is "Can Have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers." This, in itself, counts as 1 of the 3 mods and is also a Suffix. So depending on whether you rolled a prefix or suffix with your Regal, you will have either 2 open prefixes, or 1 prefix 1 suffix left to craft.
6) For your first prefix you want Spell Damage + % of Non-Chaos as Extra Chaos. This is a mod that comes from Veiled It That Fled Weapons. You can buy veiled ITF weapons from the official trading site. At Rank 3 this caps out at 50% increased Spell Damage and 4% of Non-Chaos Damage as Extra Chaos Damage. This counts as 1 prefix for both mods, which is great. Tier 3 costs another exalt though, so it's expensive.
7) Your last mod will depend on whether you have an open prefix/suffix and what mods you rolled from your original suffix and regal. But those are the basics.

Hey bro, been grinding and I just tried my first attempt a sceptre. I got an iLvl 86 Shaper void sceptre and got Lightning damage to spells and 96% critical chance for spells, I regaled it and then annulled the regal affix so I still have those 2. My question now is, why did I annul it? Do I have to start over now since it’s “can have 3 crafted modifiers” and I’ll only end up with 5? So the method would be a little different now since it’s no longer truly multi it’s just 3 and the multi counts as 1. Correct?
What to do now? Scour?

Edit: does it not matter bc the prefix I’m looking for initially is %of non chaos/elemental as chaos. Wondering which order you got the affixes kinda

I hope I am understanding correctly, but you need to get % of elemental damage as extra chaos as the prefix while it's still a magic item. So just alt spam until you get that and a good suffix. Then you regal it and hope the 3rd mod is good otherwise you'll want to start again.
