What Is It?

Alt Spamming can be a term in poe orbs that means using Orb of Alteration soon you get your desired affixes (or mods). It is typically found in conjunction with the Orb of Transmutation to make a normal (white) item into a magic (blue) item. This is because the Orb of Alteration is only able to be used on magic things to reforge them new random modifiers.

Now, why could you engage in Alt Spamming if there are various ways to craft items? Orb of Alteration is quite cheap this is quite accessible in the early stages. Although some mods take a long time to look at, using Orb of Alteration remains cheaper than other crafting methods amongst players.

How to Use It for Crafting?

So, what's the usual procedure for crafting while using the Alt Spamming method? Before starting, there are several things that you'll want to keep in mind. First, a magic item could only have nearly two affixes. Second, some mods could only appear on certain crafting bases (ex. Increased damage with bows only appears on quivers). And third, mods that may roll while on an item are heavily according to RNG; you can find lucky and potentially roll your desired affixes inside a few tries. There's also a possibility that you won't get a preferred mod even though spending 1,000 Orbs of Alteration.

Anyway, to get going, contemplate what specific affix you need to roll to your build. Next, select which item you need to use being a crafting base. Let's say you need to craft an Opal Sceptre on your Righteous Fire build and also you want it to have a very "+1 to amount of all Fire Spell Skill Gems" mod. In this context, the Opal Sceptre can be your crafting base.

Now, purchase an Opal Sceptre by looting one in the enemy or purchase it from someone with all the trade websites. If your Opal Sceptre is still an ordinary/white item, work with Transmutation to change it into a magic/blue item. Then, just use Orbs of Alteration before you get the said affix.

However, in case your Opal Sceptre is rare/yellow, work with an Orb of Scouring to make it into a normal/white item. After that, readily Orb of Transmutation and begin spamming Orbs of Alteration soon you get the desired mod.

According to the Craft of Exile database, "+1 to Level of all Fire Spell Skill Gems" carries a weight of 250, meaning this mod is fairly rare therefore you'll need incredible massive luck to obtain it in 1,000 Orbs of Alteration or less.

Once you've finally rolled the said mod, what are the next steps? You have two options.
