Deterministic crafting is one of the most powerful systems in Path of Exile 2, and nowhere is it more profitable than in endgame amulet crafting. While many players still rely on expensive gambling with Perfect Chaos Orbs, experienced crafters are consistently producing mirror-tier Spirit and Crit amulets using item level 75 bases and controlled affix pools.

This guide explains how deterministic amulet crafting works in Path of Exile 2 Currency, why item level 75 is the optimal breakpoint, and how to craft Glome Amulets and Tenerous Amulets that regularly sell for 3–5 Mirrors. Whether you are crafting for profit or optimizing a high-end build, this method removes most of the RNG from the process.

Why Item Level 75 Is Optimal for Amulet Crafting in PoE 2

One of the biggest mechanical changes in PoE 2 is affix normalization. Many powerful modifiers that previously required item level 82+ now appear at item level 75, especially on jewelry.

At item level 75, the suffix pool for amulets becomes extremely limited, which enables deterministic crafting.

Key Suffixes at Item Level 75

+22 to All Attributes

Tier 1 Life Regeneration

+3 to Skill Gems (mutually exclusive variants)

Rarity was previously part of this pool but was nerfed and moved to a lower item level, effectively removing it. This means that only three high-tier suffixes exist at ilvl 75, making suffix blocking extremely powerful.

On the prefix side, PoE 2 normalized:

% Energy Shield

% Armour

Global Defenses

Spell Damage

All of these can now roll at item level 75, meaning you lose nothing by crafting lower-level bases and gain massive control.

Best Amulet Bases for Deterministic Crafting

This crafting method works best on two specific bases:

Glome Amulet

Ideal for Spirit + Energy Shield builds

Strong synergy with fractured Spirit

Commonly used for caster and hybrid ES setups

Tenerous Amulet

Ideal for Crit-focused builds

Supports five suffixes and one prefix

Excellent for attribute stacking and hybrid scaling

Other amulet bases can use similar techniques, but these two provide the cleanest affix control and highest profit potential.

Glome Amulet Crafting Guide (Spirit + Crit)

Step 1: Rolling and Fracturing Tier 1 Spirit

Start with an item level 75 Glome Amulet.

Chaos spam until the amulet has:

Exactly three modifiers

Tier 1 Spirit (50%)

Divine the Spirit roll if needed

Apply a cheap Collarbone

Use a 1-and-3 fracture until the Spirit is fractured

Once Spirit is fractured, it can never be removed. This makes all future crafting steps safe.

Step 2: Rolling +3 Skill Gems

After fracturing:

Reduce the amulet to one modifier

Chaos spam until you hit +3 to the desired skill type

The specific +3 does not matter initially. What matters is that it is an item-level 75 suffix, which limits future suffix outcomes.

Step 3: Blocking Life Regeneration

To control the suffix pool:

Apply a Preserved Collarbone

Use Dextral Necromancy

Force Life Regeneration as a desecrated suffix

Life regen is chosen because it is one of the three item level 75 suffixes. By blocking it intentionally, you prevent it from appearing again and reduce the suffix pool to attributes and crit modifiers.

Step 4: Locking Prefixes Before Whittling

Before using Whittle:

Add any prefix (Armour %, ES %, or Global Defenses)

This ensures Whittle targets suffixes only, cutting the cost in half and preventing wasted rolls.

Step 5: Rolling +22 to All Attributes

Use Perfect Whittle until you hit +22 to All Attributes.

Although technically Tier 2, this is effectively Tier 1 for item level 75 amulets. The difference between 22 and 24 attributes (ilvl 82) is negligible, especially once catalysts are applied.

Once attributes are on the item, the remaining suffix pool becomes extremely narrow.

Step 6: Forcing Tier 1 Crit Mods

With attributes secured:

Exalt for the final suffix

Eligible mods now include:

Tier 1 Crit Bonus (ilvl 74)

Tier 1 Crit Chance (ilvl 72)

Once either crit modifier appears:

Use Omen of the Light + Null

Remove the life regen suffix

Whittle again to obtain the remaining crit mod

At this stage, the suffixes are:

+3 Skills

+22 Attributes

Tier 1 Crit Chance

Tier 1 Crit Bonus

This is already mirror-tier.

Step 7: Finishing Prefixes

Because Spirit is fractured, prefix crafting is completely safe.

Common options:

Global Defenses

% Energy Shield

Hybrid Armour / ES

Using Sinestral Eraser, Perfect Exalt, and Catalysts, you can easily force optimal defensive rolls. If desired, sanctify the amulet to upgrade +3 to +4, which averages around 10–11 locks.

Properly finished Glome Amulets routinely sell for 3–5 Mirrors.

Tenerous Amulet Crafting Guide (Crit-First Method)

Step 1: Fracturing Tier 1 Crit Chance

Begin with an item level 75 Tenerous Amulet.

Chaos spam until:

Exactly three modifiers

Tier 1 Crit Chance

Divine if necessary

Apply 1-and-3 fracture until the crit chance is fractured

This locks in one of the most valuable suffixes permanently.

Step 2: Rolling +3 Skills and Blocking Regen

Reduce the amulet to one modifier:

Chaos until +3 Skills

Block Life Regen using desecration

As before, item level 75 ensures suffix control.

Step 3: Attributes and Crit Bonus

Using Whittle:

Force +22 All Attributes

Then force Tier 1 Crit Bonus

Because crit chance is fractured, crit bonus becomes inevitable with enough whittling.

Tenerous Amulet Prefix Flexibility

Unlike Glome Amulets, Tenerous Amulets can have:

Five suffixes

One prefix

This unlocks advanced crafting options.

Percentage Attribute Conversion

Using:

Perfect Essence of the Infinite

Sinestral Crystallization

You can convert flat spell damage into % Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence. If the roll is incorrect, Whittle it back into a prefix and repeat indefinitely at minimal cost buy Path of Exile 2 Currency.

Alternative Final Suffixes

Other viable options include:

Cast Speed

Skill Quality

All Resistances

Hybrid utility mods

If a desecrated suffix is used, prefixes can still be finished safely using Global Defenses or Sinestral Erasers.

Why These Amulets Are Worth Multiple Mirrors

The value comes from stat density and determinism:

Spirit or Crit locked via fracture

Double Tier 1 Crit modifiers

+3 or +4 Skill Gems

High attributes

Premium defenses

Because the process is repeatable, experienced crafters are no longer relying on luck. These amulets are manufactured, not found.

Mastering item-level control and suffix blocking is one of the most profitable skills in PoE 2 endgame crafting.
