Str-Stacking 12 Passive Spell Damage
If you aren't familiar with the Crafting Methods below, be sure to check out our resources before you start:
Getting Your Base
Buy an Item Level 84+ 12 Passive Spell Damage Large Cluster Jewel. Item Level 84+ allows you to get the Added Small Passive Skills have 35% increased Effect Prefix which is the most important modifier.
Trade Link
Creating the Imprint Checkpoint
Use Orbs of Alteration paired with Orbs of Augmentation to get these mods:
- Added Small Passive Skills have 35% increased Effect (Prefix)
- Added Small Passive Skills also grant: +(6-8) to Strength (Suffix)
This will take around ~2100 Alts and Augs on average. Despite the volume and time required, this is very cheap.
Imprinting
Once you have both modifiers on a Magic base, use a Craicic Chimeral to create an Imprint. This will serve as a checkpoint that you can come back to. This will probably take multiple tries so it can get very expensive.
Getting the Third Modifier
Large Cluster Jewel
4.2 - 12 Passive Spell Damage
After creating an Imprint, use a Regal Orb. You are looking for at least one of these Prefixes:
- Added Small Passive Skills also grant: +# to Armour (any Tier)
- Added Small Passive Skills also grant: +# to Maximum Life (any Tier)
Follow these guidelines for finishing your Cluster Jewel:
- If you Regal a Suffix, use an Exalted Orb to add a Prefix.
- If you Regal a bad Prefix, use a Farric Lynx Alpha to try to remove it while adding a Suffix at the same time. If you succeed, use an Exalted Orb. If you remove one of the 2 modifiers you originally had with the Beastcraft, use your Imprint to restart.
- If you end up with a bad Prefix and Suffix, use an Orb of Annulment for an attempt at removing one of them. If you remove either of the 2 modifiers you originally had, use your Imprint to restart.
- If the Annul removes the bad Prefix, use an Exalted Orb again.
- If the Annul removes the bad Suffix, use a Farric Lynx Alpha for a 50% chance at removing the bad Prefix while also adding a Suffix. If you succeed, use an Exalted Orb again.
You will most likely need to repeat these steps multiple times. As annoying as it is, this provides you the maximum number of "save attempts" before being forced to Imprint back to your Magic base.
All Done
Str-Stacking 12 Passive Spell Damage
Once your Large Cluster looks like the one here, you're finished! The second Suffix is not important so anything is acceptable. For example the one on the left has low-tier Cold Resistance.
