How to craft a Molten Strike helmet using fossil?

recently dropped a helm as above and sincerely want to ask how to craft?

I played Delve but not much into the content...

Maybe a 3 socket will do, thinking of Prismatic and Scorched, still cant decide about the third...

I do not know but what I do know is I certainly wouldn't ever put effort into craft anything as bad as that helm. It's armor first off so bad for almost all ms builds which are ES for the most part and the rolls are low or not needed.

it is not bad because it isnt ES based because he is not playing CI HoWA jugg...

for starters, the main damage source for the helm is the lab enchant +2 MS proj that you already have...if you put a GG item without the enchant you will end up losing a lot of DPS
secondly, ppl mostly use fossils to get the -X% to nearby enemies, if you keep putting resonators you may get other affixes that will get in the way

if you want to sink some currency get a nice White enchanted helmet with high itemlevel...good luck getting an Elder helmet with high base
lastly the idea of Elder helmets is that you get combustion and other socketed gems effects to make a 6L or 7L helmet, ppl usually do that when they want to swap the chest to kaom's heart
in my experience to get a minimum of all the above you need to spend at least 8ex if you are very Lucky
also the essence mod that gives you more elemental damage is another thing to consider too...but it gets way too complex

If you are looking to craft a Molten Strike Helm, your goal is to end up with something similar to this.

These Color Sockets.
These Gems as Explicits.
The Spell Explicit on mine is unfortunate.


You can spend a lot of time crafting one, or you can buy one, and run the Lab for the enchant. (I've come up unlucky each time so far, as the enchant shows).

Honestly, as much as I would love to swap over to Kaom's and this, I'm even thinking about parting with mine (sadly in standard), because even after I get this helm done, I still have to upgrade quite a bit of gear to be able to even wear it + Kaom's (Resists, you know?)

Just spam scorched and life fossils on it (forgot the name) and hope for the following mods: Supported by Conc effect, Supported by Immolate, -9 to nearby enemy fire res, flat life, % life. Combine with a lab enchant and you got one of the best gear pieces you can get (in the entire game probably).

You can search for helmets like those on trade websites. They go for about 50ex right now, even without a ms enchant.

you could chuck in a glyphic fossil to try to get the essence mod of 30% more elemental damage, but that is insanely expensive. thats how you can potentially get a mirror tier worthy helmet though.

otherwise i'd just go with pristine and scorched and ya, try to get conc/immolate as well.
immolate is a suffix so if you do get -9 fire res + immolate you can multimod craft to try to get conc effect if you really want. again, expensive gamble.

Thanks you all for replying me.

I just want to have fun trying to craft using fossils to get a MS helmet, may try to get the helmet enchant if the helmet hit decent mods.

Yeah, of course resists will be a problem.

Recently tried, pristine + scorched and got some either concentrated or immolate
+ -9% fire res (just tried 10 sets actually...)

May I know how the 'suffix cannot be changed' work? If I get Immolate + -9% res, then I craft 'suffix cannot be changed', then I just chaos spam or what to do?

This is just my opinion, but crafting and fun are not two words that go together in this game, unless you are sitting on a stash full of Ex, and Chaos.

Crafting in this game has come a long way since I started playing in Open Beta, but it is still just a bunch of slot machine levers that you are pulling and hoping to hit a jackpot.

Trading, and "crafting" are the two parts of this game that I dislike the most.

its a very expensive way to craft. you can find guides on youtube.

essentially crafting suffix cannot be changed allows you to scour the item and have only your suffix's so that you can craft the prefix's.
so typically you would craft on % armor to 'block' a mod you don't want, then you would slam an exalt on it and pray its a mod that you want/like. if it isn't, then you craft suffix's cannot be changed again. then you can either annul or scour and start all over again.

in this method, depending on the mods you're trying to get, you can easily spend 50+ exalts trying to get concentrated effect, for example.
