↖  Why and How of Micro-Distillery Belts?

• Tincture Titans: These belts are all the rage in 3.23, thanks to tinctures boosting your play.
• Choosing Your Champion: Snag an item level 86 for top-notch mods. Lower levels are okay but might miss out on the juiciest mods.
• Prep and Split: Got Fertile Catalyst? Use it for life mods. Belt not split yet? Whip out a Phumo Plag Arachnid to clone it and double your fun.

 

↖ Crafting Cookbook

• Essential Ingredient - Essence of Horror: This is your golden ticket to the Alchemist Genius mod and other nifty stats.
• Chasing the Perfect Mods: Keep your eyes peeled for life (prefix) and goodies like resistances or flask charges (suffixes).
• Crafting Rollercoaster: It's a game of chance! Each essence roll eats up one essence, so budget wisely.
• Knowing When to Bow Out: If you land decent life and resistances but miss the Hunter prefix, it might be time to call it a day, especially if you're low on resources.

 

↖ Advanced Crafting

• Block and Slam: Got a solid base? Block a suffix and use a Hunter's Exalted Orb for a chance at elite mods.
• Chaos Orbs with a Veil: These are great for aiming at specific suffixes or if Alchemist Genius isn't your goal.
• Crusader Belt Curveball: Eyeing energy shield mods or cooldown recovery? Give the Crusader belt a whirl.

 

↖ Pro Tips for Prosperous Crafting

• Smart Spending: Crafting these belts can drain your coffers. Ensure you've got enough divines for both the base and the crafting.
• Bench Magic: Use the crafting bench to tweak resistances or add other mods you're after.
• Hunter Influence - Yay or Nay? It hikes up the price but can seriously beef up your belt.
• Experiment with Essences: Depending on your build, different essences might do the trick. Explore and experiment!
• Sell It If You Can: Didn't get what you wanted? A well-crafted belt can still fetch a pretty penny.
