I SPENT 600 DIVINES CRAFTING THIS AMULET (BAD IDEA) - Path of Exile 2

Storyline / Context

This is Path of Exile 2 gameplay focused on endgame crafting—the player is trying to build an exceptionally powerful minion amulet. The desired modifiers include specific “% minions” and “+3 to minions” family mods, along with strong rolls tied to mana / Energy Shield (ES) / health.

The “story” is essentially a personal crafting journey: heavy experimentation, repeated failures, and eventual success after large currency investments.

Gameplay Highlights (What They Did)

• Continuously crafts a fractured/selected base amulet using:

  • Divines / Exalts for rerolling higher-tier prefixes/suffixes
  • Chaos spam attempts to land specific high-value rolls (especially the “+3 …” mod family)
  • Fracturing steps to lock in key outcomes (they mention needing fracture levels such as 2 and 3)

• Tracks “milestones,” including:

  • Hitting 50% minions as a major early objective
  • Grinding toward a stack of “+3” mods across multiple categories (minions/spells/projectiles/melee)

• After many attempts and expensive failures, they eventually:

  • Catch the needed fracture outcomes (they report “caught” suffixes)
  • Use breaking/cleansing steps (annulment/cleanup vs. a more guaranteed removal approach)
  • Finish with Perfect Chaos and additional rolls to land their final tier targets

Key Strategy / Crafting Approach (Implied Build Plan)

Core Goals

• Secure a baseline amulet featuring 50% minions
• Obtain the correct “+3” progression for minion-related power, including multiple “+3” mod types before upgrading toward higher future targets
• Improve defensive and functional stats through:
  • Energy Shield (ES)
  • Mana/ES roll targets (they reference specific ES/mana value goals)
  • Health (pursued because ES/essence interactions make it hard to ignore)

Practical Tactics Mentioned

• Don’t plan to finish later in the league: lock costs and market prices get too high, making it “almost impossible.”
• Use Chaos spamming as the primary method for hunting rare “+3” mods, while accepting:
  • You might hit other “+3” variants first (spells/projectiles/melee)
  • Some successes require “reset” moments—e.g., realizing you’re on a different “level” tier than expected after securing the 50% minions setup
• Reduce risk and repair mistakes by deciding between:
  • Annul prefixes vs.
  • A method that guarantees removal of a prefix, then proceeding cautiously
• Choose suffixes based on endgame socket/gear synergy, not just raw stats:
  • They discuss a suffix they liken to “monamu” and whether it helps with Chober Chamber-style setups
  • They select an approach that allows the amulet to remain a long-term piece

Outcomes and Results They Achieved

• Eventually completes a very strong minion amulet after massive spending, including:

  • About ~600 Divines for the 50% stage
  • Roughly ~4,000–5,000+ Chaos overall (estimated), with later mentions of costs around ~3,400–4,000 Divines to reach higher tier outcomes such as +6

• Final amulet features include:

  • High-value rolls, including a “caught” suffix
  • Finishing with Perfect Chaos and rolling to desired tiers
  • Meaningful ES improvements (they emphasize the ES gain is substantial, though they still want more)

• They note quality matters, but the build focus is more on raw power and reservation/ES/mana interactions than on perfect quality.

Key Crafting Notes About Spirit + Reservations

• This minion build does not use fixed Spirit reservation.
• Instead, it relies on percentage-based reservation sources.
• As a result, “pure spirituality” doesn’t help much unless you use mechanics that convert/scale Spirit in a way this build doesn’t use.
• They explain other companion/minion reservation values (example context around wolves pack), clarifying that swapping packs is fine because Treasure Chamber provides the needed Spirit supply.

Key Tips Distilled

• Time your crafting: later crafting can be prohibitively expensive.
• Expect long failure streaks when hunting rare tier-1 “+3” mods with Chaos.
• Track what “level” your amulet is on: realizing it was “second level again” can change what tier outcomes are even possible.
• Choose suffixes based on endgame gear requirements, not only raw stat numbers.
• Understand reservation mechanics (percent vs fixed Spirit) before chasing spirituality-related goals.
