Bases

• Supreme Spiked Shield: Best base due to having lots of Evasion and a good amount of ES

iLevel

• 86 (you can recombinate high level bases to you base if you wanna increase iLevel)

Cheap Method

1. spam desolation essence on shaper shield for % and flat evasion/es
2. prefixes cannot be changed and reforge defence for recover 5% of es mod
3. if you fill suffix then yolo annul
4. foulborn exalt last suffix (block mana regen)
5. craft 5% DD

Expensive Method

IF you are gonna do a giga craft where you will use Hinekora's Locks for the final 2-3 Mods, the make sure you add strands! I wouldn't go for locks if you dont have strands.

1. desolation on shaper/redeemer shield. you want desolation essence to be the only prefix. also require 1 open suffix
2. craft suffix cannot be changed > Scour to turn magic. The item should now be a magic item with only the essence mod.
3. imprint.
4. aug for suffix > revert to imprint if brick. you want either recover es on block, +3 max res or aura effect
5. imprint/beast lock for regal suffix. you want either recover es on block, +3 max res or aura effect
6. multimod, craft mana > Foulborn Exalt prefix (if doing giga craft where you look for the last 2-3 mods with Hinekoras locks, then you DONT use crafted mods! Instead use a hinekora lock + exalt/foulborn exalt for the last prefixes/suffix.)
7. remove crafted mod, craft suffix mod
8. foulborn exalt prefix
9. craft 5% DD
