Download the Better Path of Trading Extension

To begin, it is recommended to download the Better Path of Trading extension, which is available for Chromium, Bowser, and Firefox. After downloading the extension, go to the "Import" folder and enter the code linked in the description. This code will list the most to least important trades that should be followed to obtain the necessary gear.

Crafting a Unique Medium Cluster

The first trade involves crafting a medium cluster. This should cost at most 15-25 chaos orb. Use an Orb of Transmutation to make it magic and an Orb of Alteration until either eye-to-eye or repeater is obtained. If neither is obtained, use a Scour Orb and restart the process. If either eye-to-eye or repeater is obtained, use a Regal Orb to obtain the other.

Best Equipment for Low-Cost Builds

Next, obtain a Lord of Drought for 30c. After this, obtain an amulet for 20c, a wand for 30c, and a flask for a lower duration. Then, obtain a Coward's Chain belt with Ice Spear and Fire as an additional projectile. Afterwards, obtain a second wand at a lower price and a second Spire silks robe if budget allows. This robe should have +2 to socketed projectile gems, which is a good damage boost.

Obtaining the Necessary Gear for a Powerful Build

Next, obtain a unique Mana Flask, a unique Sulfur Flask, gloves with the necessary reds, an Onset ring with the necessary parameters, a temple with an open Apex Center ascension, as well as a Vile Consequence to upgrade the Coward's Chain belt to a Coward's Legacy Chain belt. Additionally, obtain boots with movement speed and res.

Finally, obtain four jewels, which the price can be added to the beginning and explained at the end.  For the helmet, prioritize increased spell damage, plus one to all skill gems, and increased critical strike with spells. For the gloves, prioritize cold res, strength, and increased damage against chilled enemies. For the ring, prioritize the Amatima Moonstone Ring with as much cast speed as possible and a chance to gain a power charge.

For the belt, prioritize reduced effects of curses on you. This is the biggest way to increase damage on this build and should be obtained through small jewels. The goal is to reach zero per cent curses. Lastly, prioritize the increased effect on the Dying Sun and health flask.
