I actually hit the T5 hybrid mod in more essences than craft of exile says is average, which would bring the price down by another divine. i.imgur.com/AX4SNR8.png

honestly i understand both sides of this when i was a noob and had 0 clue how to craft i thought every video was just clickbait but now that i understand the game mostly i see your side. you handled it very well just showing everyone how to do it haha

Crafting in PoE is like walking into the workshop of a master in woodworking, stone masonry, sculptor, etc. There are 100s if not over 1000 tools all organized in just the way they liked it. Somethings look familiar but a lot of it is so specific to the trade that it's use as a layman is completely obscured to you. And then you are given the task of doing that job with those tools with only bits of operation manuels.

Fantastic video. One of the best crafting videos I've ever seen. The walkthrough of your natural process for crafting, the explanation, and the fact that you didn't have budget of a billion divines came together to actually make me want to get into crafting again (after not having crafted anything meaningful since 3.3)

this is the exact same way i craft high dps bows, get a fracture t2~ mod (t1 is pretty expensive usually) then you essence for the 2nd guaranteed mod, spam until you hit the 3rd mod and now you have easily 1k+ dps ele bow without barely spending any chaos what so ever

Thank you for this video Subtractem ! I've played boneshatter for the first time this league and also found crafting a weapon to be suprisingly easy, my friend didn't believe it would be and i was just lucky. Now I can show him this and make him try the skill as well! :D

Always love a crafting session. Such a good way to save money in the first few weeks and pulls money out of thin air.

Your effort is commendable, trying to teach people how to flourish in the game should be celebrated but instead some people just can't see past their own ego and choose ignorance, be it online and most likely in their everyday life. What I see is you've unlocked the infinite content glitch. Keep up the good work man! You've helped me enjoy the game immensely to the point where I have several multi-mirror builds every single league due to the simple fact I can listen and absorb information, thank you!

It's always frustrating when people refuse to take what you're saying in good faith, but I'm sure the crafting guidance will help some folks so it's nice to see something positive come out of it.

I just came back to path and I’m using bone shatter jugg. It’s been a real pleasure being able to come back with a solid melee build. This video is spot on for the axe I need and then some. I took more from this video than most should. Thanks!

Appreciate the Video, this help Show the Perspektive of more experienced players like you. Plus great recipes for crafting different cost pdps weapons!

Your guides like this are my favorite, friend and I forced ourselves into SSF a few leagues ago and were destroyed. After watching your stuff I think we now have a solid chance, we haven't bought crafted boots in 6 leagues and plan to give SSF a try again in the next couple, thanks!

That guy yesterday going from YT to Reddit to twitch trying to “expose” you was so fucking cringe. Everyone pointing out how he was wrong at every step of the way. Ty for the vid anyway!!

any advice on crafting an axe for cyclone of tumult do the same principles apply? I need a new axe and I don't have enough currency for it

well that's awesome, just started playing Boneshatter jugg and this really helped a lot, now I have an excellent axe. cheers mate

Hi, sorry for bothering but after this how do you 6 link it? Fusings or corrupting and the tainted fusing and orbs? Best regards

I'm on console so price is the last thing I worry about. Thanks for coming back and explaining how to do it.

sleepytractem

Enjoyed the video, love the streams, thanks for showing us how easy it was..

Any reason not to get a T1 fractured +flat physical Despot Axe and spam essences of zeal on it?

Dang man. I've been wondering for a while how to make a decent melee weapon. Once again I has learned from subtractem.

Thanks for being such a smartass, obviously chat knows how to craft a pdps axe /s 😂

I wish there were more videos going step by step through the process "naturally". This is my first league and understanding crafting 'by example' would be so beneficial. for a beginner this was helpful but still a little bit tough to fully understand for someone new to the game.

New player to the game. Wishing you could do a skill spec breakdown series for different classes. For example, best skills to use for damage or crucial survivability skills or even recommend Ascendency skills to select. I know there is build guides out there, but let's be honest most are for seasoned players.

lets make an assumption that buying a good fractured base would be too expensive on league start and we look for a despot axe "off the floor" to craft a weapon like yours, what ilvl does it have to be? the way to go would be: take a despot axe hit it with the quality fossil hit it with deafening essence of contempt until we hit a t5 hybrid phys roll or higher multimod it for 2 divine (needs an open suffix) craft attackspeed(suffix) + %phys dmg(prefix) on it, right? We need an open prefix and a suffix right? Before we have to "prefix cant be modified" + scour to get rid of all suffixes and then multimod it? Crafting in poe for new players is insane ^^

I dont want to bash on this video, all the info on how to approach the craft and the concept of the original video are accurate and offer great help to anyone seeking to get into this build. But, most players play the game during league start. The prices for essenses are normally much higher, the fracture items are also priced much higher and you'd only get these kinda prices once things settle down a bit. If you are a new player or getting into this build, know that you wont get your hands on one of these (crafted or not) until much further in the league (i'd say week 2 or 3 for the average player). Just my 2 cents, played boneshatter anyway imaginable and have cleared all content on it.

you are now the ONLY youtube channel I have bookmarked. Thank you

I'm sleeping on this game a little right now but as soon as it's time for me to come back to it, you're my KZfaq resource for poe.

How do you lock in the fossil craft so that the essence craft doesn’t reroll it? I didn’t understand that part. Can you please explain.

So I got a max t1 fractured % increased phys on a vaal axe. Is it not worth crafting since it's a vaal axe?

Started this league and for sure the one thing I didn't learn much yet is crafting and I probably paid for a lot of overpriced stuff on trade. Figured I'd try to learn a bit before next league and stumbled on your channel, haven't watched the crafting videos you have yet but if you feel like it needs an update it would be really appreciated by new players like me. Thank you!

Thank you for this, I'm a crucible league nooby and have been having fun with Boneshatter (because I like to bonk) but struggling with the crafting / itemization. One follow up I'm sure very nooby question to this, now you've go the item, how do you link it up? Slamming with jewelers to get 6 sockets is easy enough, do you just do the same with fusing's until it 6 links?

thanks for also including SSF options even if its obvious to most. would the benchcraft that gives 95-105 phys damage but also the 18-20% chance to impale be a better option? i guess only if you're looking to reach 100% impale?

Thanks so much, I league started BSJ and got so lost trying to follow axe crafting vids. Can you elaborate on what 'Multi-Mod Craft' is?

How are u putting 2 increase phys damage mods on

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for teaching me how to craft myself a huge upgrade.

If it's early on the league. Basically, a League starter. Divines, Items, Essences are pretty rare and a bit expensive. But, Yeah. Boneshatter is pretty newbie friendly and YES. 2nd to Righteous Fire as Best League starter. Very very easy to use. (I've run both, they are awesome!)

More Crafting videos like this please for popular things people can come back to.

I hope u didn't mind my joke on the last video it was just a funny remark on how the idea of budget changed over the years. I love your videos!

I was flipping axes at the beggining of the league. I was hitting 1000+ pdps axes all day with crucible trees for way less then 5 divines. People that are bitching about the price either don’t know how to craft or don’t know how to look for a deal. The amount of axes that need 1 crafted mod to be crazy that go for pennys on the dollar is insane.

I like knowing price of weapons crafting all the time so prive you said i took as cost to craft

Bro I crafted a 1000dps beast, thank you.

Thanks I crafted something sick

You can also buy a %20 attack speed base weapon instead of multimoding.

Well I just learned that movementspeed is 100% guaranteed from a vieled chaos orb on boots with suf can't be changed...Its so obvious yet there is so damn much to this game, things sneak by me all the time. I've been playing for YEARS, crafting for YEARS, and I just never knew this. So weird. Thanks! Hope i can retain the information for next league lol.

how would we make an a e for late game pinnacle what would be the next upgrade

yeah I just checked the offline listings for 3 months ago (all the listings I checked were from like 9 days into the league ish) and it looks like you could get an ilvl 83+ despot with fractured t1 increased attack speed for like 3-4 divines, I must've overlooked attack speed when trying to find a base because I also wanted dd while focused on my axe. I think I just mistook your video for a guide even though you said it wasn't one, and wanted to let people know that in my experience this league trying to find a fractured base with % inc phys damage or hybrid phys in the first week of the league was harder than I expected it to be, usually when one was posted someone had already crafted on it somewhat and was trying to sell it for like 10+ divines

As I was getting a bit impatient waiting for the next PoE league I made a boneshatter character in SSF to see what the hype was about a few days before you made your video on it so it's been fun watching you basically doing the same thing as me. I am very pleasantly surprised by it so far. Since it's in SSF my gear is of course not amazing. My weapon is quite underwhelming but it's still absolutely blasting T16's. I've also done all the pinnacle bosses on it and while it's certainly not a great bosser, it could be worse honestly. Just because of how tanky it is the fights where still fairly comfy. I could very much see myself using this for leaguestart. It just gets going so incredibly fast.

@subtractem I did this today and ended up with a massive upgrade - worth 18d! thanks fella! Can you do another "quick and dirty" video for other types of items? Very new and still learning!

i hadn't even realized u mentioned a prize people are funny

1 day of farming ? it must be the luckiest day ever 😂😂

Liked and subbed on this video! I do have a question, do you have a "beginners guide to PoE crafting"? Not so much costs and stuff but more like, what items to use while crafting the top tier?

Your video is one of the best poe guide. Thank you for sharing.

"pricefixing" on awaken poe trade instead of actually check the mods and it proccess to craft Wow those haters I would never want to receive advice from those lmao

Thx for great and simple tutorial. Do item level matters? I just bought 30 quality, 24 (fractured) increased attack speed despot axe. Then I realised that item level is 72. Will I be able to craft it like You did?

I paid 5 divines early in the league for my boneshatter axe and it took me all the way to end game, so I don't think 5 divines is too far off.

The power of _understanding_ crafting in PoE

I came to learn how to craft a mid-end game bone shatter axe i want to practice for 3.22

Contempt or Zeal? which method is cheapest mathematically?

i never league started a templer before, cpt lance released a stormbind hiero u think its a competitive starter?

love u, amazing guide

So...buy t4 fracture, hit it with an essence of contempt until the prefix opens, scour suffixes -> multimod + phys craft + attack speed? Yep, that sounds pretty much in the 5 div range, give or take, depending on the price of the fracture.

as a complete noob, this shit is confusing af

Does anyone actually ever use trade prices for gear when giving an estimate on build set-up cost? Apart from rare uniques etc. that is? Genuine question btw, I had always assumed not and would like to know if I'm making a mistake. Also... Subs vid from maybe 2 years ago 'How to craft everything' was absolutely pivotal for me. As a new player I felt like I was doing a jigsaw with my eyes closed before that, like I had started getting some of the edge pieces together but... Cheers for that Dude *8 )

I might as well have been learning Latin. That is how confused I am when it comes to crafting.

i made the mistake once in an aero video where i told him his pricing is bs because the items have always been more expensive i learned alot of crafting since because i felt bad makeing him feel bad when its been just lacking knowledge in my part since that time i never coment on pricing

Can you elaborate on the fast af comment? Crucible is my first league and I was watching some of their videos. They seem harder to build than what's implied. Is that the issue?

Can you help to craft with a low budget on the next league?

Don't mind haters! Although thanks to them we got a crafting guide :D

It's so much easier to just be honest

So I hit T3 Hybrid and the damn thing is going low as 40div for an iLvl 85! I paid at most 4 div to hit it LOL! Thanks Sub, I could make some profit this way haha

It's not an expensive craft, but you probably should've mentioned that you could have gotten a t1 hybrid mod you wanted, but prefix filled with another useless mod, so you'd need to annul the right mod to not brick the item. Lucky for you, that didn't happen, you got a nice open prefix to finish, but it's not guaranteed.

I think it’s like a 1/200 chance to hit hybrid phys t3 with essence slam. Not to mention it’s way less than that to hit it with available prefix or suffix to work with. To buy 200+ essences idt you’re gonna get them at 6c each unless you want to do 10-20+ different trades waiting for someone to accept you, you’re probably paying at least 15c nowadays and I don’t remember it being much better back then. I kinda feel like this video is baiting people cause I still see this get thrown around on reddit sometimes. You know if you need to buy 200 essences it’s not gonna be 6c per. Even when this video was made at assuming 6c ea per essence (not realistic) and 2d for a base (similar price now), and landing a workable t3 hybrid phys first time you see it (not realistic) this craft costs like 12d. If you look at what it would take on average and not all best case scenarios it’s like 15d. It’s much easier to just buy an axe with 850dps for 5-10d from someone who bricked their attempt at a better axe on trade. You can find them with 850dps and 2 useless sufffixes pretty easily on trade for less than the cost of going at this yourself. Crafting phys melee axes is a game for someone with 100d+ ready to spend because hitting all t1 phys + AS + whatever you want is going to sell for like 250d.

Tnx man i just farmed uber atziri to get me started so yeah tnx 😁

It is really astonishing how long some players are in POE and still have no knowledge about it. Crucible was my first league after ritual and I clock just 800 hours in the game, but attack speed gloves with Aspect of the cat made me so rich it isn't funny anymore and the craft is so basic.

A 900 dps axe is generally lot more expensive than 10D. The chances of you getting the Ailsing slam is very low. Then you have to start all over again. It's only 10 Divine if you get ultra lucky on your first roll. In fact, after spending hours in Craft of Exile I have yet to make 900 dps axe. I've made an 850dps ax on craft of exile, but still that would have cost more like 30D just to make. The base alone will be 5- 10 Divine (Fractured damage T1 or T2). An axe worse than your is up for 70 D on trade. Now I'm glad to see someone posting some stuff on how to craft some of this stuff. But doing it the way cArn says in his guide is WAY more expensive. But you have to have open Prefix to craft your ax. Essence of contempt at the start of a league is way more than 6c. I spent over 3D on essences alone, and then the Aisling slam failed. I was stuck with 3 prefixes so bricked item and had to scour. This is straight out of cArns notes for his Bonezone guide. - Here's the process to craft the ENDGAME axe from the pob : 1- Spam Essences of Contempts (Defeaning ideally) until you hit a decent hybrid %phys roll, tier 4 roll is good enough for a first endgame axe, with an open prefix (attempt to annul if it isn't) 2- Craft Prefixes cannot be changed 3- Aisling slam 4- If it hits a Prefix and you unveil %phys proceed to the next step, if not restart 5a - Prefixes cannot be changed ---> scour ---> Multimod Attack speed + Double Damage while Focussed 5b- Prefixes cannot be changed ---> Reforge speed, if it hits T3+ speed, Craft DD focus and Warlord Exalt. If not, repeat ^xE05030

Same shirt

killer video!

you can literally get all 4 voidstones on this build with a 3 mod axe, including crafted attack speed 💀if anything you were underselling how not gear dependent the build is

This game interface looks harder than coding, imagine who code this game.

god ive missed this poe degeneracy

REEEEEEE!!!

Where there really that many haters? I only saw the KZfaq video and saw like 2 guys saying "true budget is a 10 chaos build", like this is 2019 and they have no Idea of the current state of farming.

Boneshatter is a league starter build and any build that costs more than 2 div isn't really viable as a league starter.

Content creators are facing the reality that Fyre (whether deserved or not) put an air of distrust over these things and there is always one nutjob looking to start the next outrage storm.

So I just tired this, exactly as listed. I ended up with a 790 pDPS (I have no idea what pDPS means), and it cost me start to finish about 6.9D, and I still would consider this a low ball. I got lucky and got a T7 damage / accuracy after 30 essence of contempt. That's pretty crap, but it's the first one I got and I was down to only having 1 essence left so I went with it. With a big worse luck I could easily see it costing 10D. I did not 6 link it. I got it to 5 link, 6 link is still going to cost another 2.3 more Divine (I've gambled about 3k fusing so far, no 6 link this league). So easily 10D for a 6 link.

Never changing your clothes?

lol 800dps axe for 30div is crazy wtf

I hate when people for 10-minute videos just have some filler talk of the first 4 minutes. Before they start showing you how to do it.

I play on a Mac laptop, and it isn't ideal. I must use an old barely functional PC to utilize POB and any other 3rd party application. Juggling laptops feels terrible. There is no copy-paste from the game to POB, so everything I do takes days to enter into POB manually. This literally has me burned out on the game. I have however gotten one voidstone by defeating Exarch in SSF. I'm now hard-stuck because I do not know how to min Max using POB. So long story long I'm only playing enough to get the free stuff and then waiting for the new season.

are you actually gonna craft it or are you just talking??

❤

yeah cause all of use be getting 5 divie drops a day 100 of correct essence and hitting t1 mods from essences in like 50 trys, more like 3 weeks 0 divines all the wrong essences 1000s of essences with 0 t1 mods XD

you still miss price anyway tho 10div sound better

the one thing to note is we are in a practically dead league right now. at league start you are not getting a base for 3d. but, as you said, league start is gonna be essences then multimod.

Sucks man I love Diablo 4 but going back to PoE you just have so many more options and depth. Wish Diablo 4 had a bit more, I think it’s a little too basic even for casuals

Haters gonna hate

While true, a fractured hybrid phys base for this is around 15 divines this league. In terms of hours, fairly long farm for someone not even in their endgame gear. Oh and it's not T1 fracture, the T1-T2 fractures are often 20-30div base. This is why using values as currency is completely useless to us players. Especially when you with tens of thousands of viewers post it. It inevitably means hundreds of players will attempt to abuse us, your followers, to up the prices and especially on the examples you post. Even now, an entire month after posting, getting an axe like this is simply more expensive than you claim. Not because you are wrong, but because you saw a cheap opportunity and claimed it at the time. Other also saw it. They benefited from it. This is a positive reinforcement which will cause likely repetition. This ups the prices slowly because they will reproduce the result. This means that this "cheap craft" will inevitably not be a very cheap craft anymore after a short while. This means claims that "5div 3mil DPS!!!!" videos usually are completely useless. Grandstanding by showing it with even higher results, like T1 fractures, six links and almost braggingly explaining how cheap it is to get the same result will cause the ones who are lower to feel bad about their worse results because they do not play all day. They had to pay more and not even get the same result. They do not research all day. They dont find the same opportunities because their time and effort in the game is lower. They dont get payed to play the game and create content. They cannot reproduce the result you show. They will inevitably feel worse and feel contempt towards you who talk from a positition of power down to them. This is something that will recur if you keep doing the same mistakes. Your mistake isn't that you are wrong, but that the people who attempt to reproduce what you do does not have the same knowledge and opportunity as you do. Repeatable crats like a base of something that isn't a fracture with 0.001 likelyness or even non fractured is much better. Going back a year or so you have made budget crafts for lightning strike for example where you basically slap wrath essences on a claw until 1x T1 and then multimod craft it. This is repeatable and the market can't make it more expensive than the multimod itself. There will also be crafts on the market for basically the multi mod cost. It's controllable. It can be repeated infinitely. Unlike rare

Telling new or SSF players to just grab a white axe and slap it with essence until hitting T3 hybrid is rather disingenuous. That's an average of 1/213 at your 6c per essence 1,278c. Full poverty mode would not be the words I'd personally use for such a craft, and had you listed a much lower hybrid I'd not even say a word. I did enjoy the content and appreciated the effort , but it isn't wise to throw stones at others while committing similar sins.

I love how people are freaking out when it comes to prices, honestly what's the difference between 5 and 10 divines? 2, 3 or 5 more hours to farm it? It's more about the price range rather the exact list of items and it's prices because no one is going to guarantee that for some reason half of the league won't start the particular build you are about to start with. What's more it seems that some people don't know the basics of how to craft and get items cheap instead of going full trade mode. How to settle with cheaper but also very good option if particular base/item is getting expensive etc. It's really not that hard but you need to understand what you are doing instead of going full copy/paste mode.
