Zero to Mirror Ep 5: Huge Profits On Xesh (Fub) Bodies!
Summary
- Puhuarte Mod Transfer: A method to transfer exclusive temple mods (like “increased damage against chilled enemies”) onto optimal glove bases using the recombinator’s logic regarding Non-Native Natural (NNN) mods.
- The “Broken” Body Armor Tech: Utilizing imprints and NNN mod pools to transfer rare Grasping Mail mods (e.g., Lightning damage per 10 Intelligence) to high iLevel bases (like iLevel 86 Necrotic Armour) with a ~96% success rate.
- Fracture Logic: Strategies for isolating specific rare mods and using fracturing orbs to lock them, creating bases worth 100+ Divine Orbs.
- Market Efficiency: Undercutting current market prices to ensure high-velocity sales and maintain liquid currency for further crafting.
- Dense Fossil Crafting: Using Dense Fossils on fractured bases to hit high-tier Energy Shield and Evasion prefixes, followed by Eldritch currency manipulation for optimal suffixes.
Transferring Puhuarte Temple Mods
The “Puhuarte” temple mod on gloves is an exclusive mod. To transfer this to a better base, use the logic of Non-Native Natural (NNN) mods and the recombinator. NNN mods are attributes that can spawn on some items but not others (e.g., Strength can spawn on Strength gloves but not Dexterity/Intelligence gloves).
- Take a glove with the Puhuarte suffix and a non-native suffix (like Strength on an EV/ES base).
- Combine it with a base that cannot roll that specific non-native suffix.
- Because the recombinator sees one exclusive mod (Puhuarte) and one invalid native mod (the Strength), there is a high statistical probability of keeping the Puhuarte mod on the target base.
- Once the mod is on the correct base, use a Fracturing Orb. if the fracture misses, reset the base and repeat the transfer.
Market Strategy and Liquidating Assets
Fast sales are preferable to holding items for maximum profit. A Simplex Amulet listed at 198 Divine Orbs failed to sell for three hours; reducing the price to 191 Divine Orbs resulted in a sale within 10 minutes. Always undercut the market slightly to keep currency moving.
High-Efficiency Grasping Mail Transfers
Transferring “Esh” mods (1 to 5 lightning damage per 10 Intelligence/Strength/Dexterity) from Grasping Mails to iLevel 86 Necrotic Armour is one of the most profitable “secret” techniques.
- Isolate the Mod: Start with a Grasping Mail with the desired Esh mod. Use Eldritch Ichor to remove suffixes, then split the item to isolate the mod on a magic base.
- Imprint: Create an imprint of the isolated magic base.
- The NNN Setup: Regal and exalt the base until you have an “NNN” prefix (like Mana or Evasion on a base that shouldn’t normally have it).
- Recombine: Combine the Grasping Mail with a different high-iLevel base (e.g., Syndicate’s Garb or Necrotic Armour).
- Probability Logic: By using a 2-prefix vs. 2-prefix setup where one prefix is invalid on the target base, you create a roughly 96% chance to preserve the rare mod. If you lose the 50/50 on the base, you keep the mods and can try again.
- Final Isolation: Once the mod is on the high-iLevel base, use Eldritch currency to annul any unwanted mods, leaving only the Esh prefix.
Fracturing Rare Bases
Once the Esh mod is on an iLevel 86 Necrotic Armour:
- Add suffixes until the item has four mods total.
- Use a Fracturing Orb (1 in 4 chance).
- If the fracture hits the Esh mod, the base is worth approximately 120 Divine Orbs.
- If the fracture misses, you can sometimes “break” the fracture by recombining with more suffixes, though this is inconsistent.
Finishing the Body Armor
For a fractured Esh mod Necrotic Armour:
- Prefixes: Spam Dense Fossils until hitting Tier 1 or Tier 2 Evasion and Energy Shield.
- Suffixes: Use Eldritch Embers/Ichors to manipulate suffixes. Use Eldritch Chaos, Exalts, and Annuls to hunt for Tier 1 Spell Suppression and high Resistance.
- Quality: Use Tailoring Orbs for “8% increased Defense modifiers.” Note that this significantly increases attribute requirements, which may need to be divined or balanced.
- Final Linking: Use the crafting bench for six sockets and then link the item. A finished chest with these stats can be listed for 280+ Divine Orbs.
