Crafting in Path of Exile is a deep and intricate part of the game, providing players the ability to tailor their gear towards their specific needs. Today, we will focus on crafting Spark Gloves, utilizing Shaper and Elder influences to achieve the desired modifiers.

• Preparing the Base
• Essence of Horror
• Refining the Modifiers
• Finalizing the Craft
• Market Value and Selling
• Conclusion

The main modifiers we are aiming for are:

• Socketed gems are supported by level X faster projectiles
• +2 to level of socketed projectile gems
• Bench mod as the third prefix

↖ Preparing the Base

Firstly, we will need to awaken the Shaper and Elder influences onto our item base. The specific mods that appear at this stage do not matter as they will be overwritten in the later stages of the crafting process.

↖ Essence of Horror

With our item base ready, we will use an Essence of Horror to aim for one of the two desired mods:

• Socketed gems have +3.5% base crit
• Socketed spells have crit multi
• It's important to note that hitting Tier 1 for these mods is a rare occurrence, with a 1 in 53 chance. Tier 2 is a bit more common at 1 in 27, and Tier 3 at 1 in 8.

If we get a mod we want but also obtain an undesired mod, we have two options:

• Use an Orb of Annulment to remove a random mod.
• Use an Orb of Dominance to remove a random mod and increase the tier of the remaining mod.

↖ Refining the Modifiers

Once we have our desired mods, we need to add and refine other modifiers to get our final product. Here's how you can approach it:

• Suffixes Cannot Be Changed: This mod prevents suffixes from being changed during crafting, which can be useful when rerolling prefixes.
• Reforge Crit: Use this when you have a suffix that you want to keep, as it allows you to reroll the item with a guarantee that one of the suffixes will be a crit modifier.
• Faster Projectiles: To get the "socketed gems are supported by level X faster projectiles" mod, lock the suffixes and reforge with speed. This process guarantees the faster projectiles mod.

↖ Finalizing the Craft

With the right mods in place, you now have a couple of options to finalize your craft:

• Using Ashling: This master can remove one of your prefixes and add a veiled mod. Before unveiling, use the crafting bench to block undesirable mods, increasing your chances of getting the +2 to level of socketed projectile gems.
• Final Touches: Depending on the outcome of your unveil, you might need to go back and reforge to get the highest tier mods, or to remove any undesired mods that appeared during the process.

↖ Market Value and Selling

Once you have finished crafting your Spark Gloves, it's time to evaluate their market value. Items like this can be extremely valuable, especially with high-tier mods and rare combinations. Look at similar items on the trade market to gauge how much you can sell Poe Currency your gloves for. Don't forget to factor in the cost of the materials used during crafting when setting your price.

↖ Conclusion

Crafting in Path of Exile can be a rewarding experience, and with the right knowledge and resources, you can create powerful and valuable items.
