Overview

This guide will explain the setup for crafting ES and ES/EV Body Armour with the Genesis Tree.

This requires most of the Points on the Tree to be unlocked, but some can be left out in case you haven't unlocked them all.

Optional Points will be marked with an asterisk (*) to note that they can be left out in case you don't have enough Points

Additional Item Chance

Optional

Take the small hanging Points to have a higher chance of birthing additional Items

This Tree aims to cut out as many unwanted modifiers as possible (namely Life on the Prefixes), while increasing the odds of getting the modifiers we do want, such as Energy Shield. This method can often produce extremely high Energy Shield Body Armours, often with 6 Links and good Fractures

Evasion/Energy Shield Body Armour

This tTee can be adjusted to produce Energy Shield and Evasion gear by simply swapping the "Less Chance of Dexterity Items" to "Increased Dexterity Items"
