Necropolis Crafting Can Be VERY Painful

One thing you didn't see was that your item level dropped down to 83 on the craft, so you missed out on at least a t1 Fire Damage. All the calcs and weightings will change if if target different tiers (obviously) so it makes some sense to target a tier down for some modifiers, especially on weapons like Scepters where you've got a mix of stats. Bow users certainly have it nice.

I can obviously see why it CAN be an enormous troll, but with a little care you can get INSANE items...i spent maybe 2-3 div on filled coffins, and got a bone ring with five T1 modifiers which were Flat phys...then T1 Minion damage, minion speed, minion life, minion cast and attack speed. Took me ten minutes.

My morgue has been full since act 3 and I haven’t even touched it lmao

I am so sorry, for that frustrating experience. I played around with that tool on craft of exile A LOT lately, since I'm not able to play these days. The main finding was: the 1 in 2 chance suggests a 50:50 but if you have a probability of around 99% it still shows a 1 in 2 chance since it is not a 100%. It does so as long as the chance of hitting the specific rolls is above 50%. Meaning more corpses DO impact the probability significantly. My planned bow Craft uses 84 corpses and has around 97% chance to hit T1 cold, fire and lightning. I could get away with way less corpses (42) but the chance to hit T1 elemental damage as a prefix rises drastically. So if you brick an item it actually is worth it to invest additional corpses since I would take a 97% chance over 2 or 3 50% chance any day. Love your content, keep up the great work!

Crafting in PoE is a convoluted mess using multiple systems and trading with people and this league just added another layer into the sh&t sandwich. I'll just sell my corpses.

Props on sharing what you learned basically a few hours after grinding hard on that original craft.

Anyone know why oscillating sceptre doesn't show up in the bases even when you have the experimental corpse in the grave? The other 2 experimental sceptre bases show up but not oscillating.

I spent so much time putting corpses in graves only to get essentially unusable trash. Boring.

Thank you for being on the front lien and taking the Divine hits for the rest of us! Super useful

You should use the view corpse layout button on Craft of Exile. It calculates the odds of success for each additional corpse and also helps you figure out which ones increase your odds of success best. For example, 88 corpses may result in an 78% chance to hit, but the last 30 corpses only increase the odds 1.5% (just an example).

Also you can make a 1 in 11 to get +1 all and +1 fire with only 24 corpses: 10 +tier, 2 +Explicit (granted, you'll have to roll the dice on anul to keep crafting), 12 +gem. You can match that 1/14 craft with 21 corpses by dropping to 9 +gem

and thats exactly why i dont craft, you need a masters degree for poe to craft anything fancy. i just hit my essence and done

Ive been trying to ssf find corpses but they seem so heavily weighted and keep getting the same base types. Mightbe map tileset tags, idk yet. Getting tough to gether everything

ive found that its very useful to go 18 +50 to tier modifiers to be on the 90% of higher rolls, it deletes a bunch of stuff and its cheaper than most of the good scarcer or increased gems

If there was no craftofexile, nobody in earth would know the effectiveness of the dead body parts. That's what I'm disturbed with on this league. League mechanic itself is forcing you to outsource your information. Poor decision by GGG.

old player returning to this game in affliction, and now necro. the item you crafted looked better than anything ive had drop. it took way too much work to craft and not get what you expected, but it was still a good item IMO. i dont quite understand the mechanic though, but it would seem to me that rolling 4 items with less corpse might result in more chances for it to roll well?

I tried CoE for boots yesterday and it said i needed 18000% increased chance of chaos modifiers, on top of all the speed and life corpses. In the end it was still an absurd low chance to hit it

It's like exponentially combining the bad parts of Harvest INTO the crafting of Harvest, whilst also having the bad parts of Bestiary/Metamorph (lack of QoL/annoyance.)
