PoE2 Minion Amulet Crafting (0.3.0): A Low-Cost +3 skill Level Guide

How to Craft a +3 Minion Amulet for Under 20 Divines in 0.3.0
Welcome, Exile. The 0.3.0 patch has revolutionized crafting, and for any serious poe2 minion build, a high-Spirit, +3 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems
amulet is the ultimate prize. These amulets often sell for over 100 Divine Orbs.
But what if I told you that you can reliably craft one yourself for just 10-20 Divines?
This guide will provide a step-by-step process to create one of the best poe2 minion level items in the game. Follow these steps, and I guarantee you'll craft an amulet just like this one.
Step 1: Preparing Your Materials
This craft relies on a specific combination of Essences, Omens, and currency. Here's what you'll need:
Item | Amount | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Solar Amulet | 1 | The crafting base (Item Level 82+). |
Omen of Dextral Crystallisation | 1 | Next Perfect essence remove only Suffix modifiers. |
Greater Essence of Opulence | 1 | Adds % Rarity of Items Found (a suffix). |
Perfect Essence of Enhancement | 1 | Adds % increased Global Defences (a prefix). |
Perfect Exalted Orb | 2 | Adds a new high-tier random modifier. |
Omen of Homogenising Exaltation | 2 | Next Exalted Orb adds a mod of an existing type. |
Ancient Collarbone | Multiple | Desecrates the amulet to add Defiled mods. |
Omen of Dextral Necromancy | Multiple | Next Desecration adds only suffix modifiers. |
Omen of the Blackblooded | Multiple | Next Desecration guarantees a Kurgal modifier. |
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. |
Step 2: Crafting the Core Prefixes & Suffixes
Our first goal is to create the foundation of the amulet: +46 Spirit
, +3 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems
, and 20-30% increased Global Defences
.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the process:
- Start with a magic Solar Amulet. The Amulet must have the single prefix
+46 to Spirit
. - Use a Greater Essence of Opulence. This upgrades the item to rare, adding
% Rarity of Items Found
(a suffix) while keeping your Spirit prefix. - Use Perfect Essence of Enhancement + Omen of Dextral Crystallisation. The Omen guarantees the essence removes a suffix. You should be left with a rare amulet with only the mods:
+46 to Spirit
and20-30% increased Global Defences
. - Use an Ancient Collarbone
+ Omen of Dextral Necromancy
+ Omen of the Blackblooded
+ Omen of Abyssal Echoes until you hit any tier of
% increased Minion Damage
(a suffix). - Use an Omen of Homogenising Exaltation + Perfect Exalted Orb. Because your item already has a "minion" tag from the damage mod, this combination is guaranteed to add the only other available minion mod:
+3 to Level of all Minion Skill levels
. - You now have your core amulet!
Step 3: Finishing the Amulet
The final step is to add high-tier resistances and a final prefix.
- Desecrate for a Resistance Suffix: Use the combo of
Omen of Dextral Necromancy
+Omen of the Blackblooded
+Ancient Collarbone
. This will add a random, high-tier Kurgal resistance suffix. Repeat this until you have the resistance suffix. - Add a Second Resistance: Use another
Omen of Homogenising Exaltation
+Perfect Exalted Orb
. Your item now has+3 minion skills
and one resistance. Because there are no other "minion" suffixes, the Omen is guaranteed to add another resistance mod. - Add the Final Prefix: Use
Omen of the Blackblooded
+Omen of Abyssal Echoes
to add the last prefix. It is highly possibly to get the%increased energy shield from Equipped Body Armour
. Or you can use theOmen of Homogenising Exaltation
+Perfect Exalted Orb
to get the defense prefix.
Key Crafting Steps Explained
- Why start with Essence of Opulence? We use this to get a temporary suffix (
% Rarity
). This allows us to use anOmen of Dextral Crystallisation + Perfect Essence of Enhancement
to safely remove it, leaving us with a+46 spirit and %inc global defense
item, which is a crucial setup step. - Why find
% Minion Damage
first? This adds the "Minion" tag to the item. TheOmen of Homogenising Exaltation
looks for existing tags and adds a new mod with the same tag. This is how we force the poe2 plus minion skills mod to appear. - Why use Desecration for the first resistance? This gives us a "Resistance" tag, allowing us to use the same Omen trick again to guarantee a second resistance suffix. It's a brilliant way to control the outcome.
Summary: Crafting is a Process
This craft may seem complex, but it's a perfect example of deterministic crafting in PoE2. It's not about gambling; it's about following a logical sequence of steps to achieve a predictable, powerful result.
This process proves that with the right knowledge, you can create the best poe2 minion items in the game without needing hundreds of Divine Orbs. Now go craft your own masterpiece. Good luck, Exile.
