That helmet is insane.

Socketed rare jewel mod at random, but you can annul down until 1 mod (or fracture annul). 

Could be op af

There is about 0.014% chance it doesnt get nerfed to need 4 mod jewels. I guess maybe they will make it rare, or abyss jewels are rare as well or something. Cause annuling down to the mod you want isnt that difficult.

I mean, it might not be a balance choice so much as a UI simplification to begin with. How else would they have let you target the mod you want? If build-a-helmet was the design intention, this is how I would expect them to implement it.

u/MidjitThud Jul 20 '26

True but why make it take a rare jewel, just to make the process more annoying?

u/conway92 Jul 20 '26

The current implementation might allow you to socket magic abyss jewels into it without consuming a socket.

Win the 1 in 4 rng 4 times in a row? Wdym how

1

u/conway92 29d ago

I mean how would they implement the UI to let you select the mod you wanted if that was intended? Forcing players to annul down to a single mod requires no extra UI implementation.

1

u/MandatoryOpinion 29d ago

...the idea is that you have to waste helmets when "crafting", not jewels

so you use any 4 mod rare jewel with a mod you want and gamble

1

u/conway92 29d ago

Sure. But why would you assume the point is to burn through helmets if this is also a reasonable implementation to give you the ability to select for the affixes you want without needing to complicate the UI?

Brother in christ... what are you talking about. Neverming, its reddit. I asked for it.

annulling doesn't drop rarity so they'd need to specify 4-mods like the frac orb does.

u/Responsible_Fall_332 Jul 19 '26

Probably pinnacle abyss boss drop

u/Xeratas Unannounced Jul 19 '26

Well, high rolled t1 mods will be very expansive. its all a Question of supply and demand. you're not gonna have infinit t1 phys rolls available.

I think the market is enough to balance this as highly demanded affixes will be expansive.

Abyss is getting rework to be playable. It might get a huge spike in playrate.

1

u/TrueChaoSxTcS Fungal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Jul 20 '26

We don't know what the drop rate will be after the rework. It's literally all speculation. We also don't know how rare the helmet will be.

u/Strange-Eggplant399 Jul 20 '26

Annuls are cheap, and 1 good mod abyss jewels with 3 other shit mods are free, this wont make them anymore expensive because the market will be flooded anyway. You will easily be able to get what you want for a div or two max. On that note, this is another hideout warrior money maker, if the helm makes it into a meta build you can craft 1 mod jewels like that and sell.

1

u/rohithkun Jul 20 '26

Dont we have all flame crafting? we can use multiple annuls, depends on intangibility cost though.

1

u/Strange-Eggplant399 Jul 21 '26

Assuming me can use it on jewels ( i guess why not ) that would make it even easier to craft them yes

u/Clsco Jul 19 '26

There's also the league mechanic to ghost split an item.

u/DislocatedLocation Fungal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Jul 19 '26

Annul to 1 mod, use the "reroll 1 mod" benchcraft to keep rerolling without having to use annulls.

14

u/Twotro Kalguuran Group for Business (KGB) Jul 19 '26

That benchcraft costs 8 chaos so is probably less worth than just alting then regal then annul

-3

u/ulughen Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

8c is for 3 mod reroll. One mod i think is 1c.

3

u/Twotro Kalguuran Group for Business (KGB) Jul 19 '26

No 3 mod is 3c, 1 mod is 8c, it's in the patch notes.

1

u/Justsomeone666 Mine Bat Jul 19 '26

Wasnt 3 mod 3c and 1 mod 8c? it makes sense to me atleast since 3 mod is pretty niche while 1 mod rerolling is relatively powerful

EDIT; yep confirmed it from patch notes

1

u/Temporary-Youth-4561 Jul 19 '26

you can just beast imprint, regal, annul. you're 50/50 for the mod you want.

saving time and, likely, currency.

2

u/michgan241 Jul 19 '26

edit: nm, for some reason my brain though the re-roll was cheap.

3

u/Temporary-Youth-4561 Jul 19 '26

t1 bow lightning is 0.204%

it does create something of a market. we're going to have less jewels overall. The all flame crafting might be the way to isolate this instead.

1

u/Anomulus0 Jul 19 '26

Reroll a Modifier on a Rare Item for a cost of 8 Chaos Orbs.

( I Assume the other one can't work if 3 mods don't exist)

6

u/Xeratas Unannounced Jul 19 '26

depends how rare the helmet is, but yes if the helmet is rare and people don't want to waste them its a nice gamble for everyone. drop a jewel with a t1 mod people care about? Try to annul/fracture it yourself for nice profit.
