Suffixes and Prefixes cannot be changed with Harvest crafting

Hi i have a couple of items that i have been trying to complete for a couple of months now and it seems to be impossible.

Example: Crystal belt Shaper and Crusader influ
Using bench crafting suffixes cannot be changed and then harvest crafting defence mods more common.

I have soon had suffixes cannot be changed 100 times on it and i only get shit tiers or only 1 defence mod every time.

When i don't have suffixes cannot be changed on a belt i get decent tiers and much more often 2-3 defence mods.

So my question is does suffixes and prefixes cannot be changed lower the chance to get higher tiers and more mods?

rng is rng.

its not rng. its just harvest not working properly, being completely garbage.

I've crafted this way over a dozen times and after seeing 1 mod 95% of the time, i concluded something isn't right. I've stopped crafting this way now.

Thanks for feedback man. I thought it was only me having problems with this

I have the same impression. There might be some tier and mod weighting in certain conditions going on in the background. That's likely intended though.

let me guess :

you're keeping 3 suffixes locked, right?

4 affix rares are more common than 5 affix rares. and 5 affix rares are more common than 6 affix rares.

so when you 'reforge, keep 3 suffixes', you are more likely to get 1 prefix than 3. this is not a bug.

also, low tiers have higher weighting than high tiers. getting low tiers more often is ALSO not a bug.

theese things i know but i have crafted more items than the belt i mentioned.
i have done it several hundered times this way and as i said when i don't have prefixes or suffixes cannot be changed i get higher tiers more often and more mods with both harvest crafting and fossil crafting.

rng or confirmation bias.

Uh, what. Can you back this up? Craft of Exile shows that every tier has the same weight.

upon further investigation, it appears mods for belts all appear with the same weight. the last time i was interested in mod weights was for cluster jewels and weapons. things like tier1/2 phys% and certain cluster jewel notables do not have the same weighting.

that said, there are **TWELVE** tiers for flat es on belts. getting a tier3/2/1 roll, will be MUCH rarer than getting tier 9-12 because thats 300/1200 weighting.



the 4-5-6 mod part i cannot find a source for, and will retract.
