↖ Part 1: Influencing the Helmet

The first crucial step in crafting our Storm Brand helmet is to apply either Shaper or Elder influence to it.

This step is essential as we require this influence for our desired mods. Follow these steps:

• Use a Crusader's Exalted Orb: We'll start by using a Crusader's Exalted Orb on the helmet. It's a cost-effective option.
• Change Influence Type: Head over to your crafting bench and select "Influence." Then, randomize the influence types until you get either Shaper or Elder influence.

 

↖ Part 2: Crafting the Mods

Now, the real fun begins. We will focus on crafting our desired mods onto the helmet, specifically Concentrated Effect and Hypothermia.

Please note that this process can be a bit RNG-dependent, so patience is key.

• Essence of Horror: We'll use Essence of Horror to add the "Socketed Gems Deal 30% More Elemental Damage" mod. Keep using it until we hit Hypothermia.
• Elevate the Mods: Try to elevate the Hypothermia mod to a higher tier using Exalted Orbs or other methods if possible.
• Base Critical Strike Chance: We'll aim to add Socketed Spells have Base Critical Strike Chance. This part can be challenging, but we won't give up easily. Reforge the item repeatedly until you hit the desired mod.

 

↖ Part 3: Perfecting the Craft

With our desired mods in place, we'll further refine our Storm Brand helmet.

• Crafting Bench: Benchcraft the helmet by adding maximum Mana, optimizing your defenses.
• Exalt Slam: Use Exalted Orbs to slam the helmet in hopes of hitting the Concentrated Effect mod.

 

↖ Part 4: Elevating Concentrated Effect

Now, for the ultimate challenge - elevating the Concentrated Effect mod.

This part is not for the faint of heart, as it involves significant risk and cost.

• Suffixes Cannot Be Changed: Use this modifier to lock your existing suffixes in place, ensuring the safety of your previous mods.
• Exalted Orbs: Keep slamming the helmet with Exalted Orbs, aiming for tier upgrades on the Concentrated Effect mod.

 

↖ Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully crafted an incredible Storm Brand helmet with Concentrated Effect, Hypothermia, and other powerful mods. Remember that this crafting process can be resource-intensive and challenging, but the results are well worth it.
