PoE 3.9 UPDATE Necromancer Minion Build - Best Convoking Wand - Crafting Guide
This time I bring you an update for my crafting guide on how to craft the best convoking wand for Necromancer minion builds.
(For full crafting guide you can watch my video from Blight league - • PoE 3.8 Blight Minion wand crafting (check... )
In 3.9 there is one big change to mod we used in this crafting, Can have multiple crafted modifiers is now called Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers, meaning after you craft this mod, you can add just two more mods with your crafting bench. This change makes crafting with alterations even less desirable than it was in the Blight league.
The main way to craft this wand in 3.9 expansion is with fossils.
First, you can craft by using just bound fossils. While this method is cheap, a chance to get something good is really low. Try this method only if you feel extremely lucky.
Second, the more expensive way is to use two fossils bound and aetheric. You will need to invest more, but I think this method is much better than using just bound fossil.
Also, as I mentioned in my previous video for this crafting, you can also use a combination of 3 or 4 fossils, to increase your chance for a better result.
In 3.9 expansion I tried two new methods.
First, I tried crafting with Shrieking Essence of Fear which gives the prefix Minions deal (57–62)% increased Damage. (you can also use any other essence of fear depending on what tier of this mod you wish to get and how much currency you want to invest).
The second new method I used is 4 fossil crafting. I used Jagged, Corroded, Metallic and Shuddering fossil. If you select these 4 fossils on the Poedb website, you can see that only prefixes possible are increased Spell Damage and +1 to Level of all Spell Skill Gems. The tricky part, Sometimes Poedb doesn't show all the info we need to see.
On convoking wand 2 more prefixes are not blocked, Minions deal increased Damage and +1 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems. As one prefix you can get either increased Spell Damage or Minions deal increase damage, never both because they are counted as the same mod.
The good news about this method is if your crafted wand has 3 prefixes, you will get both +1 gems. The bad news, the chance for that is small and you will most likely get just one prefix either increased spell damage or Minions deal increased damage. Also, this method is very expensive and each try in Metamorph league will cost you around 70 chaos.
If you wish to try this crafting, my advice is, for low investment, craft with Shrieking or Screaming Essence of Fear.
For mid-tier investment craft with 2 fossil combination, using Bound and Aetheric (very low chance). And finally for the best chance to get both +1 gems on your wand, craft with 4 fossils, using Jagged, Corroded, Metallic and Shuddering fossil.
Chance is around 1/12.
