The ULTIMATE 5 Line Jewel Craft Guide - 3 Methods

This guide will cover crafting jewels from various different bases with different techniques.

The three groups are:

1) Fractureless - Cheapest to make, but hardest to divine

2) Same Side Fracture - Easiest to make, slightly easier to divine

3) Opposite Side Fracture - Hardest to make, easiest to divine (well rolled jewels sell for a premium)

Some terminology that we'll be using here:

Prefix and Suffix refers to the "side" the modifiers are on. Each jewel normally has 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes, and we're using an item to add an extra prefix or suffix.

Same Side - This refers to the side that you are aiming to have 3 lines on instead of the normal 2 lines.

Opposite Side - This refers to the side that will be left at 2 lines - The craft finishes with a specific crafted modifier on the Opposite Side depending on the jewel being made.

Things you'll need for every craft:

1. The Jewel Base - basically the uncrafted/unfractured jewel
2. Chaos, Annulment, Exalted Orbs
3. Fracturing Orbs for craft 2/3
4. Sinistral / Dextral Annulments depending on whether your craft is suffix/prefix oriented
5. 1. Note the one you'll need is the OPPOSITE side. So if you're crafting 3 prefix, you want suffix annulment.
5. Omen of Abyssal Echoes, Omen of Light, Omen of Sinistral/Dextral Necromancy, Preserved Craniums
6. Potent Liquid Ferocity and Contempt (normal jewel) or Ancient Liquid Melancholy and Contempt (time-lost jewels)
7. (Optional) Refined Catalysts for improved stats
8. (Optional) Divine Orbs for better rolls

This jewel craft is cheap and more bulk heavy.

Here we rely on a numbers game, rather than on more deterministic fracturing + chaosing strategies.

The upsides are that when it succeeds, you've skipped the fracturing and first chaosing steps. And with expensive fracturing orbs + fracturing bases, this is a really solid way to enter the 5 line jewels side.

The downsides are these jewels are impossible to perfectly divine with any sort of consistency. Great if you're building out your first set of 5 line jewels for yourself on a budget, but significantly worse resale value generally than the other versions.

Step 1

Buy a jewel base (ideally many) with NO CRAFTED MODS and NO FRACTURED MODS. This base will require 2 of the 3 SAME SIDE modifiers. For example, if you want a triple suffix sapphire with Crit + Crit + Cast Speed, then start with a jewel that has any of those two mods on it.

Step 2

Use the Liquid Contempt on all the jewels. Immediately ignore / set aside / relist any jewels that received +1 to the OPPOSITE side. We only want +1 SAME side. For the example of the Sapphire, we would want +1 suffix with Crit + Crit on it already.

Step 3

Desecrate the SAME side using the applicable Omen of Necromancy, Preserved Cranium, and Abyssal Echoes. Reveal the modifiers and look for the 3rd SAME side modifier. In our example, we're looking for cast speed here.

Step 3.5

Any jewels that failed to hit the desired mod, you would either RAW annul, or, if the jewel base is expensive enough, use an Omen of Light. Note that RAW Annul can brick your jewel and make it worthless. Omen of Light guarantees you can repeat Step 3.

Step 4

One you have your desired SAME Side complete, use the Omen of Annulment on the OPPOSITE side. For example, we have our Sapphire jewel with Crit + Crit + Cast Speed and has a prefix line of "+1 suffix modifier allowed" - we need to remove the +1 modifier allowed.

Step 5

After Removing the +1 Modifier line, fully exalt the jewel until it can no longer receive more modifiers.

Step 6

Use Chaos Orbs on the jewel until you have your final desired OPPOSITE side modifier.

Step 7

Use either the Liquid Ferocity (normal jewels) or Ancient Liquid Melancholy (time-lost) for a 50/50 chance at completing the prefix modifiers. If you lose the 50/50, restart from Step 6.

Complete

Now it's time to quality, divine, and corrupt!

This jewel craft is, in my opinion, the easiest overall.

Here we rely on fracture and some simple steps to complete.

None of the steps are particularly hard.

The upside is it's very easy and time-efficient to complete. The downside is getting the fractured base ready is more costly.

Step 1

Buy a jewel base (ideally many) with NO CRAFTED MODS and NO FRACTURED MODS. This base will require 1 of the SAME side modifiers that is MAX rolled - for example, if you want Crit + Crit + Cast Speed again, you will want one of those modifiers on this jewel to be present at max roll. Let's assume we're working with Crit Chance. We will buy jewels with 15% Crit Chance to aim for a fracture.

Step 2

Use the Fracturing Orb on all the jewels. Immediately ignore / set aside / relist any jewels that did not fracture the desired modifier. In our example, we were showing Crit Chance fracture.

Step 3

Annul to 1 modifier then Chaos orb for a second SAME SIDE modifier. For example, We have Crit Chance Fractured, and then we Chaos and receive Critical Damage Bonus.

Step 4

Use an Exalted Orb, then apply Liquid Contempt. Any jewels that give +1 Modifier to the OPPOSITE side need to restart at Step 3.

Step 5

Desecrate the SAME side using the applicable Omen of Necromancy, Preserved Cranium, and Abyssal Echoes. Reveal the modifiers and look for the 3rd SAME side modifier. In our example, we're looking for cast speed here.

Step 5.5

Any jewels that failed to hit the desired mod, you would either RAW annul, or, if the jewel base is expensive enough, use an Omen of Light. Note that RAW Annul can brick your jewel and make it worthless. Omen of Light guarantees you can repeat Step 5.

Step 6

One you have your desired SAME Side complete, use the Omen of Annulment on the OPPOSITE side. For example, we have our Sapphire jewel with Crit + Crit + Cast Speed and has a prefix line of "+1 suffix modifier allowed" - we need to remove the +1 modifier allowed.

Step 7

After Removing the +1 Modifier line, fully exalt the jewel until it can no longer receive more modifiers.

Step 8

Use Chaos Orbs on the jewel until you have your final desired OPPOSITE side modifier.

Step 9

Use either the Liquid Ferocity (normal jewels) or Ancient Liquid Melancholy (time-lost) for a 50/50 chance at completing the prefix modifiers. If you lose the 50/50, restart from Step 6.

Complete

Now it's time to quality, divine, and corrupt!

This jewel craft is, in my opinion, the hardest and longest overall.

Here we rely on fracture and some lengthy RNG steps

The upside is it's very easy to divine. The downside is getting the fractured base ready is more costly.

Step 1

Buy a jewel base (ideally many) with NO CRAFTED MODS and NO FRACTURED MODS. This base will require the final OPPOSITE side modifier that is MAX rolled - for example, Spell Damage for Sapphires is common. Let's assume we're working with Crit Chance. We will buy jewels with 15% Spell Damage to aim for a fracture.

Step 2

Use the Fracturing Orb on all the jewels. Immediately ignore / set aside / relist any jewels that did not fracture the desired modifier. In our example, we were showing Spell Damage fracture.

Step 3

Annul to 1 modifier then Chaos orb for a SAME SIDE modifier. For example, We have Spell Damage Fractured, and then we Chaos and receive Critical Damage Bonus.

Step 4

Exalt twice and pray to the RNG gods that you land a second SAME SIDE modifier. Repeat step 3 if you miss.

Step 5

Apply Liquid Contempt. Any jewels that give +1 Modifier to the OPPOSITE side need to restart at Step 3.

Step 6

Desecrate the SAME side using the Preserved Cranium, and Abyssal Echoes. Reveal the modifiers and look for the 3rd SAME side modifier. In our example, we're looking for cast speed here. If you miss, use an Omen of Light and restart this step.

Step 7

One you have your desired SAME Side complete, use the Omen of Annulment on the OPPOSITE side. For example, we have our Sapphire jewel with Crit + Crit + Cast Speed and has a prefix line of "+1 suffix modifier allowed" - we need to remove the +1 modifier allowed.

Step 8

After Removing the +1 Modifier line, fully exalt the jewel until it can no longer receive more modifiers.

Step 9

Use Liquid Ferocity to apply effect of SAME side. If the roll of the Liquid Ferocity is poor, use Chaos Orbs on the jewel and re-apply Ferocity.

Now it's time to quality, divine, and corrupt!
