↖ Wand Base Types

First off, let's discuss the wand base types. It's crucial to choose the right base, as it significantly impacts your build.

Ideal Tier:

• Imbued Wand: Top pick for its high crit chance and attack speed, plus the highest spell damage implicit.
• Engraved and Carved Wands: Similar to Imbued but with slightly less spell damage. Rare but equally effective.

Acceptable Tier:

• Driftwood Wand: Decent spell damage and crit chance. Slightly slower but a viable option.
• Heist Bases: Good for their crit chance but slower. Includes the one giving endurance, frenzy, or power charges every 6 seconds.

Mediocre Tier:

Tornado and Serpent Wands: Acceptable but not ideal. Slower with okay spell damage.

Item Level:

Make sure your wand is at least item level 73 for top-tier crit strike chance rolls.

↖ Crafting the Wand

1. Non-Fractured Wand:

• Start with Essence Crafting using Zeal for attack speed, aiming for tier 3 or higher crit chance.
• Clean the wand using annulment orbs, cannot roll attack mods, or by crafting "Suffixes cannot be changed" and scouring.
• Finalize with multimod, spell damage, local lightning damage, and unveiling for guaranteed Elemental Penetration.

2. Fractured Prefix Wand:

• Ideal for local lightning damage, hybrid spell damage with mana, flat fire, flat cold, or increased Elemental damage with attack skills.
• Similar cleaning process as the non-fractured wand.
• Multimod, add spell damage, local lightning damage, and unveil for Elemental Penetration.

3. Fractured Suffix Wand:

• Best with a fractured attack speed or crit chance.
• Essence Craft with Wrath for lightning damage and aim for high crit chance.
• Clean and finalize similar to other wands, with a choice of a final suffix or an exalt slam for potential bonuses.

↖ Crafting Notes

Crafting these wands can be intricate, but with patience and the right approach, you can achieve great results. Here are a few additional pointers:

• Patience is Key: Sometimes you win when trying to craft; sometimes you don't. You should have multiple attempts ready
• Economy Awareness: Always check the markets for the best deals on base wands and crafting components so as not to spend too much currency items on them.
• POB Notes: Go to notes in Path of Building for detailed crafting steps and comparisons.
