PoE2 Emerald Jewel Crafting (0.3.0): A Low-Cost BiS Guide

A Low-Cost Guide to Crafting a BiS Emerald Jewel in 0.3.0

Welcome, Exile. For any Deadeye or attack-based build, a perfect poe2 jewel with two damage prefixes and two critical strike suffixes is a massive source of power. A well-rolled poe2 emerald jewel can sell for at least 6 Divine Orbs on the market.

But with this emerald jewel crafting guide, I will show you how to reliably craft these for an average cost of only 2 Divines.

A finished, high-value Emerald Jewel with four powerful modifiers.

Step 1: Preparing Your Materials

This is an incredibly cheap and simple craft. Here is all you need:

Item	Amount (per craft)	Purpose
3-Mod Emerald Jewel	1+	The crafting base with specific starting mods.
Preserved Cranium	1+	Desecrates a Rare Jewel.
Omen of Dextral Necromancy	1+	Next Desecration adds only a suffix.
Omen of Abyssal Echoes	1+	Allows one reroll of Desecrated modifier options.

Step 2: The Crafting Process

The core of this strategy is bulk crafting. You will repeat these simple steps on many jewel bases to guarantee a profitable outcome.

Flowchart for the Emerald Jewel crafting process.

1. Buy Your Jewel Bases

This is the most important step. You need to buy rare Emerald Jewels that already have three specific modifiers:

Two Prefixes: Two different % increased Damage modifiers (e.g., % increased Projectile Damage and % increased Area Damage).
One Suffix: One of the two critical strike modifiers (% increased Critical Hit Chance for Attacks or % increased Critical Damage Bonus for Attack Damage).

2. Desecrate the Suffix

Use the combination of Omen of Dextral Necromancy + Preserved Cranium.

This will add a hidden Defiled Suffix to your jewel.
This is a 50/50 gamble. You are hoping that the Desecration replaces your other suffix, not the valuable critical strike suffix. If it hits the wrong mod, you abandon this jewel and move to the next one.

3. Reveal for Profit

If the Desecration was successful, use an Omen of Abyssal Echoes and then reveal the hidden modifier.
The Omen gives you two "three-choose-one" chances to hit your desired final suffix.
Your primary goal is to hit the other critical strike modifier that you are missing. A secondary, also valuable, outcome is hitting % increased Movement Speed.

Key Crafting Steps Explained

Can this strategy cover its own costs? Absolutely. I ran a test on a batch of 60 jewels. In total, the crafting cost was 15 Divine Orbs. I successfully Desecrated 38 of them. From those 38, I hit 5 jewels with the second critical strike mod and 2 jewels with movement speed. The total profit was between 60-70 Divine Orbs.
What are the odds of hitting a crit mod? According to data from Craft of Exile, the odds of hitting a crit suffix are about 1 in 28. However, because you get two "three-choose-one" chances with the Omen of Abyssal Echoes, your actual odds of success are much higher.

Summary: The Power of Bulk Crafting

Crafting a perfect poe2 emerald jewel is one of the most profitable and straightforward crafting methods in the game. It’s not about making one perfect item; it’s about using a simple, repeatable process to play the odds and guarantee a profit over a large enough sample size.

This method is a fantastic way to build wealth in Path of Exile 2. Good luck, Exile.
