PoE2 Minion Sceptre Crafting (0.3.0): A Low-Cost +4/+5 Guide

How to Craft a +4 Minion Sceptre for Under 2 Divines

Welcome, Exile. For any endgame poe2 minion build, a sceptre with +4 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems and increased Spirit is a must-have. These weapons often sell for 4-5 Divine Orbs on the market.

But what if you could craft an even better one yourself for less than 2 Divines?

This poe2 sceptre crafting guide will show you a reliable, low-cost method to create a powerful sceptre with huge crafting potential, just like this one.

A finished, high-value +4 minion skill level sceptre.

Step 1: Preparing Your Materials

This craft uses a specific combination of Omens and currency. Here is what you need to gather:

Item	Amount	Purpose
High-Level Sceptre	2	The crafting bases (Item Level 78+).
Omen of Greater Exaltation	1	Next Exalted Orb adds two random modifiers.
Omen of Homogenising Exaltation	1	Next Exalted Orb adds a mod of an existing type.
Omen of Dextral Exaltation	1	Next Exalted Orb adds only suffix modifiers.
Greater Exalted Orb	1	Adds a new random modifier.
Broken Circle Artifact	Multiple	Combines two items at the Recombinator.
Divine Orb	1 (Optional)	Randomises the numeric values of modifiers.
Omen of Sanctification	1 (Optional)	Your next Divine Orb will Sanctify the item.

Step 2: The Crafting Process

The core of this method involves creating two separate "donor" items and then combining them for a powerful result.

Part A: Crafting the "+4 Minion Level" Sceptre

Start with %inc spirit and %inc minion life Sceptre base. Recombine them.
Use the powerful Omen combo: Omen of Greater Exaltation + Omen of Homogenising Exaltation + Omen of Dextral Exaltation + Greater Exalted Orb.to the sceptre. This combination will deterministically add two new suffixes. Because the item already has the "Minion" tag, one of these is guaranteed to be +3/4 to Level of all Minion Skill level
Apply two Exalted Orb This will add two new suffixes.

Key Crafting Steps Explained

Why get % Minion Health first? This is the key to the entire craft. It adds the "Minion" tag to the item. The Omen of Homogenising Exaltation looks for this tag and forces the Exalted Orb to add another Minion-tagged modifier, which is how we guarantee the +3 skill gem mod appears.
What is the Recombinator success rate? The success rate depends on the item level of your bases. For high-level bases, you can expect a success rate of around 50-60%.

Optional Part: Crafting a +5 Skill Level Sceptre

If your final exalted orb slam in Part A resulted in very high tiers of % Minion Damage and % Spirit, and you're feeling lucky, you can try to push your sceptre to the next level.

Use the combination of a Divine Orb + Omen of Sanctification.
The Omen of Sanctification causes the Divine Orb to reroll the values of your item's modifiers within a -20% to +20% range.
If +4 Minion Skill level is rolled to 13% or higher, the game will round the +4 up to a +5.
This would give you a legendary +5 to minion skill level sceptre, one of the best possible weapons for a poe2 minion build. This is a high-risk, high-reward gamble for true endgame perfection.

Summary: A Simple Path to a Powerful Weapon

Crafting a +4 sceptre for your summoner build isn't a matter of luck; it's a matter of process. This guide shows that by using Omens and the Recombinator intelligently, you can create a top-tier weapon with a very small investment. This is the power of the poe2 sceptre crafting system in the new patch.
