New player question on crafting - 2h Axe crafting

Hey guys I am new and going through so many videos on crafting to learn the ins and outs. I am wondering specifically how I see some players on POE ninja with hella high phys damage rolls. From looking at craft of exile, max roll on a ilvl 83 2h axe is 179%. I just came across a guy on poe ninja with a 203% roll. How is this possible?

I even tried going through the emulator on Craft of exile and I cant come up with a 200% roll like that. I cant find any videos on it pls help guys.

Craft of Exile is a great place to start. For mods like Physical Damage, you could have three prefix mods like this. One of them would be just % phys and another could be a hybrid mod that adds to the % phys and another stat.

1) 170-179% Increased Physical Damage

2) 75-79% Increased Physical Damage
+175-200 to Accuracy Rating

3) Adds 32-43 to 66-78 Physical Damage

Try the crafting Simulator & Emulator if you want, maybe Jagged fossil to see it right away.

awesome i understand now. Thank you!

The other thing you should know, is you will spend 2-3 times as much crafting your own mediocre axe than you could just buying one that is better anyway.

How is that possible? Well the meta-crafters, in making their own 1100 dps 2h axe or 700 dps 1h axe, will come up with many, many 4-500 dps axes that will sell below what you can spend.

Im not knocking crafting, its fun to make your own, but its objectively true.

Hi and welcome!

Best way is harvest reroll phys' or jagged fossils.

So what you do is get a high level mod, either flat phys or Phys % then use harvest to fracture that and hopefully retain it.

Then you can roll the same fossils/essenses/harvest phys without ruining the fracture.

Here is an example



I'm not done with that one. Still have 3 suffix to add like crits but hard part is done.

A 4-500 dps axe isnt hard to craft. It only takes a couple phys reforges from harvest or a couple dense fossils.

Wrong.

Sorry to be rude, but this is utterly and completely wrong.

I just checked trade, a 450 dps 1h axe is 4ex minimum. You think if you could make them with 2 dense fossils which sell for 1c right now, and the base is free, then they would sell for 4ex.

Wrong.

Sad.

400 pdps axes start at 1 ex.

You seem to be new around here. The role of the forum abrasive asshole belongs to me. Because I'm the best at doing it. And I'm the best at doing it because I actually know what I'm doing.

you're not making a 450 DPS 1H axe for 2 or 20 fossils. At least not on the reg. For sure by 200 tho.

Maybe you mean dense + jagged? Even then 2's not gonna get you there.

a 390 pdps axe crafted in 19 harvest reforge + phys more common crafts

maybe toss in a couple divines to make it actually 400 pdps

its not hard crafting these axes



430 pdps axe crafted in 56 reforge + phys more common



396 pdps axe crafted in 24 reforge + phys more common crafts with 2 divines

wow so hard to make

-- ok 1 more edit i promise because...

its even easier spamming essences



that was with 5 deafening essences lmao
