PSA: Some White items you should highlight in your loot filter
Attuned Wand (ilvl 81+), Siphoning Wand (ilvl 81+)
We are looking for one single mod: +5 level of all Lightning Spell skills
Steps
- Essence of Electricity
If you hit it here, the magic base alone is 6-8div so you should stop.
- Greater Essence of Electricity
If you hit it here with a lot of open prefxies, it can be worth like 3-5div depending on how many affixes are open
Ideally you want to use a Greater Essence of Electricity, but if you Regal, make sure you use an Omen of Dextral Coronation to make sure you don't regal a prefix.
- Depending on how many suffixes are open, use an Omen of Dextral Exaltation combined with an Omen of Greater Exaltation
You can use both at the same time to hit both suffixes with one Exalt. The mod weighting is 0.114% for +5. If suffixes are full, item is bricked.
It’s not a 0.114 weighting when we use Omens or Essences, I will clarify this now since a commenter was confused. We are removing a significant amount of the mod pool by excluding all non-lightning weightings and all prefix weightings.
Notes
If suffixes are full and there's no +5, item is dead. If you hit +5 with open prefixes, item is worth more depending on how many prefixes you have open. Also if you hit:
T7/T8 Lightning damage - adds 8-10div+
T7/T8 Spell damage - adds 4-6div+
Expert Dualstring Bow (ilvl 82+)
We are looking for one mod: Bow Attacks fire 2 additional arrows
Steps:
- Essence of Battle
If we hit it here, instant 5-8div+ as magic.
Notes
It's really not worth doing much else if this doesn't hit magic. There's a lot more I'll add to this post over the coming days, but these are the ones that will sell instantly and are worth picking up EVERY TIME you see every White item at the correct item level on the ground.
These omens are dirt cheap because nobody knows what their true purpose is: creating good bases with open suffixes or prefixes.
Comments
I just disabled all white and blue bases yesterday. It became a waste of time picking them up and "crafting" pure junk every time.
Love this, thank you for spreading this information instead of keeping it to yourself.
Has been VERY lucrative
.
What are these bases going for? I’ve kept a few to do just this but wouldn’t mind selling them either.
Wish I understood how to do this on filterblade, anybody have some quick insight?
Anyone happen to have a complete list for highlighting? I see posts here and there but haven’t come across a complete list yet.
I would really like to see an overview of items with their stats we need to look for. I only play a witch infernalist so I kinda know that. But for all other classes I have no clue what stats to look for.
Why would you combine dextral and greater exaltation? Is it the same as 2x dextral? Or does it work differently?
I barely have enough time to play the game. Does anyone have a good endgame (but with white items) T15/16 filter I could copy? If that is even a thing? Thanks all 🙏🏻
Does neverlite filter out white bases?
0.114% chance, umm.. those essences aren’t super cheap nor are the bases. How can this possibly be a high expected value strategy?
handy to know but essences and other stuff like distilled emotions, omens, etc being another way to craft is a path of confusion for people like me who have been only taught to slam transmute/augs on white bases and then chuck it if it doesnt hit anything useful immediately
Very useful for us SSF folks, thanks.
I've been sleeping on using essences for crafting.
.
And now prices will tank since a lot of people will sell them.
Great tupa, thanks for sharing! Also worth mentioning that white stellar amulets sell for 20-30ex or more since PoE players love gambling (chancing for astramentis). Would love to know if there's other bases like that to look out for.
/remindme 34 hours
Perfect. Would love more added to this list if possible
Damn awesome guide mang. Literally monday I was thinking about what the best bases were outside of my class(monk) and change my filter to add some cuz i heared about some bases selling pretty good, but didn't know where to start. This makes it easy haha thanks a ton!
Why does spell damage add less value than lightning damage?
Isn't spell damage just strictly better?
Anyone know how to search POe trade by open suffix/prefix?

Great info
Best way to craft +5 minions scepter and +3 minion amulets?
Thanks for the info, brand new to POE and all this stuff blows my mind. I haven't even seen some of the stuff your talking about
Any input on other bases, e.g. sceptres, foci, helms? I know +minion is desirable but idk if you can essence it
Excellent post
Elon dualstring bow
How to highlight these with Neversink's latest filter?
I've been doing this with other items and made 15 divines off a 2 handed mace. It's why I don't understand exalted orbs being deflated on price. I grab bases and slam them if they are good early hits. Sometimes that's all you need. It's like a constant decline on your currency until you hit something worth selling (assuming you don't just find other valuable drops or raw currency during whatever you're doing).
A guide on jewels is something lacking AFAIK as well. Sold a jewel for a divine pretty fast that I thought was trash and just price checked randomly. I understand some bow ones now. Some melee or mace or quarters staff ones I see look like they'd be so good, but they're not worth anything.
Hey thanks for this. This is the exact kind of info that the average player has basically no chance of figuring out on their own.
thanks for sharing the knowledge. I can help chip in some too
Sceptre +81 ilvl (especially Rattling Sceptre) we are looking for two mods:
- + Spirit
- + 5 minion level
Unfortunately no essence available to for those 2 mods, which make it much harder to craft and control.
What is the purpose of keeping as many prefixes open as possible, is it just so that you roll more suffixes to have maximum chance at getting +5 lightning skills? What can a buyer do with open prefixes that isn't just slamming exalts?
Why only attuned and siphoning wands?
Is there a way to display ilvl without having to hit ALT every time? Would be a blessing for my thumb's dexterity and ligaments
.
Where are these level 81+ white items dropping? I've done t16 on corrupted+irradiated maps and only ever see level 78 white items. The 81+ stuff is always rare already.
Am I the only one here thinking to myself. Wtf is he talking about? Like how are people suppose to "figure" this stuff out....
Lvl 81? That's too low for level 97 players
Essence of lightning can add lightning skill levels?
Dude thank you. I have 3x 5 light wands already and was looking for advice how to proceed for best possible success. You are a hero!
Is there is best Crossbow base? From what I can tell, there isn’t.
I should also ask, why that type of bow? Thank you!
I honestly wouldn't mind this kind of breakdown for every item lol, thanks bud!
Good info
I just want a good dualstring bow for my lightning build. Level 75 Ranger. I don’t even know what a divine orb is.
The ilvl 82 attribute white amulet sells for 80ex
Im a casual gamer dad and im pretty sure i vendored at least one thing listed there. Gotta add this list to my filter before my next session
