Okay, let me go over some upgrades we made. I have spent a lot. The Mage blood, the Kings March money is almost gone. We're down to 120 divs. I have more stuff to sell, but so far we got the ring upgrade, more ES, more in which is even more ES and damage. Of course, ES is damage. Every 100 ES is 20 flat lightning damage on the high end. With this, we're mirroring that. Of course, I got a 21/20 Vol lightning strike. I got an awakened multi-strike. We'll level this up, I guess. Little room to grow here. I got a double implicit ephemeral Edge, 6% local attack speed. It's not just RT, it's also the local attack speed. Same ES roll as I had before. I got a double corrupted ages for plus two duration and percent chance to block. The percent chance to block allowed me to drop one small jeel, so I get another FX. I replaced this with something better, and the plus two duration gives two levels to my Vol molon shell, which is nice. And then I

bought this cluster jewel for like 35 div. It's increased effect, attack speed attribute, and flat ES on every point. 12 pointer. I could even get one more point. I dropped a little percent ES here. I dropped this onslaught mini wheel here, and we are SPF block, CT block capped with lucky block, and we still have lucky lightning. We had rage on H, also tattooed to 1% block here on my strength. I tattooed a bunch of PR speed on all my Dex nodes where I can. I think I can tattoo a little bit more still right now because we got a bunch of attributes from this jewel, so I can probably tattoo away like two more Dex nodes or three. And we tattooed some ES on all of my in nodes, like 1% ES better on each rather than the 5 in. I think that's all the upgrades for now. I think I can improve my flasks a bit, but yeah, that's where we're at with the character. It still feels

really good, and all of this should make it feel even better. You know, action RPG things. Farm some money, upgrade the character, farm some more money more efficiently. GG guys, it's new craft time. We're upgrading the helm if possible. These bases are 12 divines or 13, 12 and a half divines, 29 quality Lous circlet. And we're going to try to roll Mana reservation on it with the essence and something else, possibly int or yes, and then try to fracture them ourselves so we can continue crafting from there. Bazooka here is by my side, he's calculating, but I think it's going to be either yes or in any update. What else are we fracturing other than rme? We can fracture the es or in. I'll take a look at the market real quick, but I think they probably don't exist if I have to guess. But yeah, I think in like T1 in and T1 es should be decent. Okay, I'll buy some more Essences, I think.

think 112. All right, let's get this started. We'll look at int and yes, isn't 30 div for fracture DS more even which has flat or uh both. Okay, both mhm in is 40 div Plus mhm oh I got Flats on a four. Okay, how much Flats perfect perfect flat. Oh, that's our first one. Okay, I mean you're you're okay with nine right. I mean if you say so. I mean it works for you mhm or do I Divine it to 10 and ruin the es. If I hit the es then we can hit it or like or you can do you can do new prefix canot be changed theine H if you want to okay. That is so expensive [ __ ] it dude. Let's do it. We're balling today [ __ ] dude [ __ ] it dude. It's already four whites. No, it's three whites my bad. All right, we got 10 nice. We're remove the craft or or you can fracture.

with pref change and okay guys one in four two and four one in two let's go surely oh my God we hit it oh my God on the first one nice I love fracturing orbs guys remember when I said that earlier how I love fracturing orbs surely this happens every time you do something like this I mean you you lost 50/50 yep I did are you are you that surprised I flipped the coin guys ha crafting okay that's pretty good okay now we craft it's not no no don't don't say it like that because it is it is craft thinking okay you was smart enough to reach the conclusion that okay clipping the coin here is the best way best thing we can do no I wasn't smart enough I did it specifically cuz I was peer pressured by my chat I would not have done this if they didn't spam I would have just bought it so I was I'm just I'm just not taking credit for it is all I'm doing okay we're here

and we did it for Content, but I'm saying you hit it; you should take the credit. Okay, okay, I'll take the credit for hitting it, but I'm like, I wasn't smart enough to want to do this. This is for Content 29 Quality Base. Oh, that's good. Okay, what we do for the other base. I bought it for 12 and a half div. I'll sell it for 13, and I made 80 Kos puggers, guys. All right, craft it. Stop. I'm not getting no. Let's go. Okay, now the real crafting begins, which is probably Danse fossils or some [__]. Is it all right? How did he split into single Stacks? I'm a magician. So, if you hold it on your mouse right, you press shift, and then you left-click once, then you can spread these out nicely. You don't have to do this, you know, but if you are like me and you have your mouse wheel rebound to your left click, and you are really quick with your fingers, then you

can hover your mouse like this and scroll whe tick on every slot and if you do it right it looks like this pogers. Let's click some fossils on this. Where is my Helm? It's gone, guys. Who ate it [__]? Where is this? I already lost it. Ah, it's in the fossil G. Okay, we're looking for basically triple es T T1 T1 flat hybrid. I think we I don't think we settle for less and then hybrid can be any tier. I don't care. The third one is fine. Let's go tier six, tier one, tier three. Now, what happens when we hit one tier one? Do we un all? Do we refor? Do we reforge defense? Do we do anything? Or is it just fossil gas spam literally until like double T1? You you try to save that. You un new this. Then you craft life and you slam right life slam. It's probably Mana, right? We'll see. It is like it is Mana. It is Mana, yeah. So we anal no. The an all killed it. Okay, I

think we're just crafting here then T1 hybrid. Oh, T1 flat. Okay, here is our first T1 flat isolated. So now craft mana and slam. We slam the suffix. We slammed T2 life. Okay, remove craft an all that is very clean. Okay, craft Mana slam. Okay, okay, double T1. Wow, GG noobs. GG noobs. But we still need a hybrid, right? So yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you do pre cannot be changed all defense. Understood, guys. We need more juice for this. Okay, okay, okay. We need the special juice. Hang on. I think I have special juice. Maybe here you can hit suffix defense. You do reforge. Just reforge. It's whatever, man. Just actually, you can just rege it. It's not a big deal. If you even if just reforge it. Let's do it like it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. Okay, we hit T2 flat hybrid. We really wanted percent hybrid. That is not good, right? 488. That's bad. That is really bad.

it's fine. Oh no, okay, it's still saveable. Oh my God, it's saved. Okay, let's do it again. Prefixes cannot be changed. Wait, is this eating my divines from this tab, by the way? No, it can't because I only have one. Okay, death. This one is definitely going to be a good percent hybrid. [Music] Tier six. What? It can go to tier six? What? There's no way I can un all this T1 flat good hybrid. [Music] Ooh, ooh. [Music] Okay, refor defense into GG noobs. Come on, prepare your booms. [ __ ] Mana hybrid, man. Every time, unlucky. Ah, oh, we saved it though. Okay, going again. What? Nothing happened. You got, oh, you got a suffix. You got a again, again. There, I got another suffix, guys. Let's do it again. That is unlucky. It actually, I can't because it's full on suffixes, guys. I have to funun. I'm not changing the, okay, sure. Wait, we have to anal a suffix. Yeah, just a big blue. No, so we up.

tier this wait where is it here and then we funny and all one time and then we prefix cannot be changed reforge defense one last time to get a single suffix guys times in a row Jesus prefixes cannot be changed. This is the highest stacking of RNG I ever seen in my life. It's for sure now like 700 yes helmets right now right here boom just hit it got hit like three yes and see I told you you guys don't believe me when I'm speaking like this seriously stucking you stu the RNG and then you there is the it's math it's mathematically correct holy [ __ ] 565 oh you like this oh you like this okay we divide div yeah let's Divine the prefixes can we Divine later it is prefix is going be changed as suffix yeah no we we Divine now okay let's see we want like I I'll just look at the the value 565 and we are low on percent right now so 583 oh wow that's five off per perfect.

flat let's 59 minimum. Let's go again, guys. 558, 546, 71, 67, 70, 550, 47. Just clicking lives, guys. Goodbye, 64. What is this? 86 again. Four off perc again with perfect flat. Let's go again. 58, 41, 57, 76, 69, 58, 53, 93. It's one off per. Yes. Oh, Jesus. Okay. I will sacred orbit to Perfection minimum. See one sacred orb to perfect it. Holy [ __ ]. 596. Wait, can I? Can they actually be 600? They link this to me real quick. I think so. I mean, it's one off Max percent. No, it's 5.99. 59. Okay, so it can't be 600. Thank God. Ah, all right. Let's start slamming this, I guess. We want int and the res ideally. Actually, any rest 'cause we can just Harvest pu it. But yeah, does this already increase my energy Shield if I just put it on? Yeah, it's already 140 es upgrade without the r. Oh, wait. I don't even have implicit on it. Holy [ __ ].

suffix is time. We're uh, we're looking for a res. We're looking for INT basically. That would be ideal. I level is 84, so I craft one res and then slam once. And if we slam a good res or int, then we can try slam again and then save it after or just settle and do a double rescraft to finish. So let's start funny exalt. It's eer of Worlds dominant. It is good. Good luck. 84 is T2 int. Okay, it's a one in. It's a one in now 13. One in 31 to hit uh T3 or tier two in with blocking. Okay, uh actually you should block res uh region. Wait no. Oh no, it's not on hel much [ __ ] never mind. Yeah, maybe we don't block any. Well, maybe we don't block a res cuz if we swap the res can BL, we can still get a high res accuracy. Can block accuracy. Okay, I'll un all this first of all flat accuracy. Let's go lizard again [ __ ]

okay no go again accuracy okay accuracy and remove crafted mods. Wait actually 91 to like this remov remov. Let's go wait can I craft this. There we go it's somewhat expensive T6 in unlucky remov accuracy slam t7 res. Jesus Christ accurate. Let see ooh T1 fire as uhoh uh remove and slam. We going for the second one yeah okay here we go guys last slam shy T5 is stun in the block recovery. I guess we can funny to save the good fire as yeah and then yeah funny. I know again because the that block is a bad block yeah. I have funny here I think yeah I have 47 funny. Oh and 24 funny slams honestly 1,6. What hang on that's don't block anything and double slam. I mean you should still block that just block remove trade trade. Yeah I was thinking of chosing at when like on the second or like instead of removing sometimes but I don't know um yeah like let's say like you hit like bad R and

you s again. You hit another bad thing. You don't want to save any of those, and you're just chaos. That's what you do. But if you like hit the good R on the first slam and the second SL, don't hit G. You can try to save the good R. Okay, so like here I have a shitty bad suffix. I think I would just chaos this instead of like analing that, cuz is 50c. Chaos is like 58. Like, let's just just just roll this. I'm feeling lucky. Yeah, exalt first. Why you slam first? Yeah, you SL first. SL SL first. Okay, T8 int. Okay, that is a giga chaos. Watch this game. Yeah, that's a chaos. Yeah, we rolled emptiness. Okay, nice start. Sling C SL. Yeah, wait, so do I craft? Cuz you were saying Double SL. You always block. You always block. You always block. No point not blocking. Okay, okay, okay, okay. T1 regen. Nice. Yeah, that's a good

block. That's a good block. That's a good block. So now we remove and now we Giga slam, guys. T8 C. Okay, now you try to save it. Okay, yeah, yeah. The regen is the best thing to block. I see. Okay, we saved it. And now accuracy. Look, we got the two best blocks, guys. Ready for another slam. Oh wait, T6 fire as. Oh, saved it again. Energy Shield recharge rate, bro. Saved it again. T4 in Global accuracy. Slam the chaos lightning res. Accuracy slam the chaos. Fresh Start. Come on, tier three lightning res. That is okay. I would be okay with that. We don't need better than tier three res. Tier three in with tier three res. Oh [__]. That is. That's enough. Yeah, that's me. I have high fire on my current one, actually, and low cold. So we do lightning to cold res and then on the boots. And then we do double rescraft on the boots. Lightning called 38. Okay, we can do better. 41. There you go, guys. We are done with

the h and we are happy with it. We stopped on T3s 'cause the resist is enough. It can't be T1 on this eye level; it can only be T2. So, it could be like five more in, so it could have been a 1% es better, but I think that's nice. And then we have to do implicit still, but uh, the base is done. Okay, guys, we are back. We have grand increases from boots and gloves. Are you happy? No, I'm not done yet. I yeah, I mean, I'm happy in general, but we're not done yet. This is going to be a lot of conflicting, so a lot of conflict is going to happen. Guys, we are back. Should we start arguing then? Arguing? Yeah, you know, conflict. Oh yeah, okay. So, I think, uh, I think we should, uh, I think, I think we should add quantity back into the game on items, and there should be, on every item slot, there should be a rollable quantity rare mod. What do you think? No, no, I think

quantity being off is okay. I think we just need better Scarab. I don't know. Okay, I agree. No, no, no, I don't agree. I don't agree. Okay, conflict. It went down. They're making the games for casual. No, no, they are. They are making the games for everyone. Okay, and therefore, quantity should be on everything exceptional. [__] I'm out of conflict. I mean, but quantity, like, wait. I don't know, man. Look, I don't like the making the game only for the casuals. Okay, I understand that the casuals like 98% of the player base, but come on. I want to be able to play this game for 25 hours a day and enjoy it still. All right, true. Every, every, every, wait. No, I disagree. Wait, conflict. It's down to Grand, bro. Greater Grand. I'm out of conflicts, guys. Crafting is fun and exciting and engaging. I know it's like, I don't like this game anymore. Greater like the other [__] is perfect, dude. This game, this game.

I'm resp spamming it. Am I? I don't know, man. No, I'm not. I'm conflicting greater Grand greater. I hate the riots for making the, for making League casual game Grand. I'm out of confli G for making po into a casual game. I need more conflicts, guys. Goodbye chaos. Let's get one more. This crafting is fun, right? Let's do this. Watch this exceptional Exquisite and wait. We'll put a, we'll put a red on this as well, an exceptional one. Watch this perfect. Ah, Jesus Christ, I was here. Okay, sorry, I couldn't hold it. Crafting is so much fun, guys. All right, and now let's spam some, uh, reduced Mana cost of attacks. You know what, let's spam it with the best one. Why not? Why not spam with the best one? Why

not it's because I'm broke actually that's why hang on. I still have 1K chaos. Oh [ __ ] you're right. Nice, okay that's good, that's good. Now we buy Exquisite or exceptional 90c place order 95c place order. Goodbye chaos and surely we will get reduced man cost out of these guys. We have more chaos, it's okay. We just simply purchase more, just buy a couple more and then we'll be done with the helm guys. Oh, it's 100 now. That is unfortunate guys. Nice guys, you know what this means. We get to buy even more exceptional Eldri Embers. Look at that, isn't that fun? Isn't crafting fun? The storm is coming, okay watch this minion movement speed curse effect fire damage recoup enemy in your presence. That was such a fun way to spend the 800 chaos but let's do it again three times. We go again recoup guys actually I am out of do you have more chaos bazooka you happen to

have some more chaos, maybe I do another th80, guys. Just a couple more of these funky red orbs, and we'll be done with this Helm Pronto. Okay, okay, they're 9 now, pogers Silver Comet. Okay, never mind, they are not 9C. I got Jed, guys. They're 95, guys. We have four more. This is going to hit for sure, and it's this one. It's this one. Do you happen to have some chaos orbs, go? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, nice. Are you having fun over there, bro? No, yo, I'm making so much money from someone buying Embers right now, three for one. This is it, guys. This is lucky.

yep GG noobs GG noobs 596 es holy [ __ ] what does that do that gives me 600 es and with this jeel it allows me to fit discipline into the build hopefully we are about to find out Moment of Truth guys can we turn on all of our auras wrath Grace Tempest shield and discipline most importantly what we just gained 78 Mana which is enough to attack twice and we gain Giga es holy [ __ ] 11.7k nice we are not quite fire rest capped but that is solvable with a quick Divine orb okay just a quick two Divine orb three Divine orb four Divine orb five Divine orbs a quick solution to our firea problem it is now 75 with without the FL flask and 117 with the flask that is beautiful guys a great set of upgrades we got we got some good G good gear very happy with that and now I'm broke so it's time to form some currency again let's go so the final cost was uh

83 plus 18, 101. Dev, actually you're right. Okay, that is not the final money because we also have a base left for 13 div. So the final final for real this time price for the helm was 88 div. Okay, the fracture is a good call. I do have guys final final Final price because I do have a fracturing orb of the helmet is 83 div is actually what we spent with the leftover resources. And maybe I have some Essences left too. That's another two div here. So final final Final [Music]
