PoE2 Minion Armour Crafting(0.4.0): A High ES Endgame Guide

Crafting the Ultimate High ES Minion Armour in 0.4.0

Welcome, Exile. For any endgame poe2 minion build, a body armour with high Energy Shield, a huge boost to Spirit, and Spirit Reservation Efficiency is a true Best-in-Slot item. Buying a poe2 body armour like this off the market can cost a staggering 100-150 Divine Orbs.

But what if you could craft one yourself for around 50 Divines?

This guide will provide a step-by-step process to create one of the best pieces of poe2 minion armour in the game. It requires some luck, but the result is well worth the investment.

(In Patch 0.4.0, the Omen of Homogenising Exaltation was removed. While this introduces more RNG (randomness) to the crafting process, the overall logic and steps of this guide remain unchanged.)

A finished, high-value Energy Shield body armour for a minion build.

Step 1: Preparing Your Materials

This advanced craft uses a specific combination of Omens and a fractured base. Here's what you'll need:

(There will be some RNG involved in all steps, but that is the beauty of crafting.)

Item	Amount	Purpose
Fractured Vile Robe	1	The base, with `+61 to Spirit` fractured.
Perfect Exalted Orb	3	Adds a new high-tier random modifier.
Omen of Sinistral Exaltation	1	Next Exalted Orb adds only prefix modifiers.
Preserved Rib	Multiple	Desecrates the armour to add a Defiled mod.
Omen of Light	Multiple	Next Annulment Orb removes only a Desecrated mod.
Omen of Abyssal Echoes	Multiple	Allows one reroll of Desecrated modifier options.
Orb of Annulment	Multiple	Removes a random modifier.
Chaos Orb	Multiple	Rerolls all modifiers on a rare item.

Step 2: The Crafting Process

This craft is broken down into several key stages, focusing on perfecting the prefixes first, then the suffixes.

Flowchart for the ES Body Armour crafting process.

1. Start with the Fractured Base

Buy a Vile Robe (or another high ES base) with a fractured +61 to Spirit prefix. This is the foundation of the entire craft, providing the huge poe2 spirit boost that minion builds need.

2. Roll for High Energy Shield

Use Chaos Orbs until your body armour has two other high-tier prefixes:

T1/T2 % increased Energy Shield
T1/T2 + to maximum Energy Shield

3. Add the Third ES Prefix

Use the combo of Perfect Exalted Orb + Omen of Sinistral Exaltation. This will add another prefix.

4. Craft the First Suffix (Resistance)

Use a **Perfect Exalted Orb. This will add a suffix. The goal is to hit any high-tier resistance.

5. Craft the Second Suffix (via Desecration)

Use the combo of Preserved Rib + Omen of Abyssal Echoes. This will add a hidden Defiled modifier.
Reveal the modifier. Your goal is to hit % reduced Ignite Duration on you.
If you don't hit this mod, you must use an Orb of Annulment + Omen of Light to safely remove the Defiled modifier, then try again with the Preserved Rib combo.

6. Craft the Third Suffix (Second Resistance)

Use another **Perfect Exalted Orb.

7. Craft the Final Suffix (Spirit Reservation)

First, remove the Ignite Duration mod by using an Orb of Annulment + Omen of Light.
Then, use the Preserved Rib + Omen of Abyssal Echoes combo again.
This time, your goal is to hit the most important suffix: % increased Spirit Reservation Efficiency of Skills.
This is the most expensive part of the craft. You may need to repeat the "remove and add" process many times until you hit this specific modifier.

Key Crafting Steps Explained

What is the most expensive step? The final step of repeatedly using Omen of Light + Annulment Orb and Preserved Rib to hit the Spirit Reservation Efficiency mod is where most of your currency will be spent.

Summary: A Worthwhile Investment

Crafting this endgame poe2 minion armour is a complex process, but it's not a mystery. It's a series of logical steps that give you a high degree of control over the final product.

While it requires a significant investment, the result is a Best-in-Slot item that will enable the most powerful versions of any poe2 minion build. With this guide, you have a clear path to crafting one of the best items in the game. Good luck, Exile.
