Look more the answer is on the CUBE RECIPES page: look for "JEWELCRAFTING"

Right except I am on that page and none of the runes give + spell focus or + Lightning spells? Is it just Fal Runes for generic spell damage and hoping we hit the other stats?

There are few ways of getting MF tho.

Lilith's Temptation (100%MF)
Corrupted Wormhole (can be around 130% tho)
Maybe the MF from a Merc also applies too you.
Ist Runes and Mystic Orbs are great for more MF.
Some weapons, Jewelrys, can also have a good amount of MF. (Ghostmoon has 25% )etc.

But I would only use MF if I am still able too clean the map fast enough.
For Fautz I use Lilith's and thats it pretty much, around 163% MF.

I think you can get around 300%+ with the right things.
I wonder if MF really helps at finding more Items aka more Sets/Uniques, Orbs, etc.

to go along with it and it helped my clear quite a bit, but the loss of 20 phys res hit hard. For instance Necrobots hurt quite a bit. Apart from that I'm still trying to get Great Runes to craft those same two items.

I'm level 134 atm, and can farm Fautz np, but going to Scosglen hurt, a lot. To the point that I gave up before getting to the waypoint.

I was playing with Mistress of Pain on Tempest Setup, right now I am testing Fork with Ghostmoon and looks better as Tempest somehow but I feel like Tempest is more relaxing.

I have pretty much the Endgame stuff and I am trying to min max my Char, atm I am farming Trophys.
Scosglen is a bit hard, my damage looks fine but there are 2 Monster which are more tanky, one of them does Ice Damage and also Absorbs Lightning.
Maybe I need to tryout a few Skilltrees adapted too Scosglen.

Would appreciate it, if Vikan makes a special Setup for Scosglen only also with a Video.
"Scosglen only Elemental Damage" means no Physical Reduce and Magic Resis right?
Maybe it makes sense to drop some damage and add 1%+ max Gems in equipment.

Living Flame & Ice Elemental are maybe great for Scosglen, btw. is it possible too make an endgame Merc that survives Scosglen / other content?
Also a question about fhr/fbr, why we dont try too use the max values of it? Is it not worth it too use that much? I mean its not that hard tho too get slightly more as the value descibed in the Guide for 1 more frame.

Well 157% FCR is easy and theres no higher frame of it, 109% FHR is also fine (280% is very hard too get tho) 75% FBR .
I think its not that hard too get the 129% for 1 more but I got no clue thats why I am looking for some feedback.

135% Pierce for Scosglen, right? I could also try Mistress of Pain with Fork but always keep in mind too adapt your Skilltree of the choice of your weapon and if I can afford enough Spell Focus, I maybe swap too Vision Boots for more HP / Max Res% but not sure yet.

I prob need a new Wormhole with Energy% or Combat Speed, also depends which stats you are missing, I need like 2-3 Jewels with FBR and I am on the values which are written down here. Then I would prob go Energy% on this Charm. Got around 2070 with Raven only but more with Nova Charge.
Wish I can get more Fire, Cold & Poison Res and maybe Magic Res too, +5% on Amu would be great too.
I would rather take that instead the +1sk.

My current Gear:

Ghostmoon / Hide of the Basilisk / Celestial Barrier / Black Dwarf / 2x Rare Rings / Indigo / Spirit Walker / Lunar Eclipse / Lamha / Deimoss Charm missing / Few Trophys / > Jewels are mostly like: 4% Light DMG / FHR / FBR / Energy % / All Atributes % < (I got few with Spell Focus but I am at 1k)

Yeah I grinded the hell out of that WP, tp blink and pray, then tp, rinse-repeat.
I tip-toe clear 1-2 waves near the entrance, but it isn't fun lol.

I blew through my belladonnas to figure out an approach to navagating through Scosglen, most of it came up requiring Ice elementals and pacing (whist on Lightning set). I was hoping for some viability using avoid damage stats, but max I can get is 42% (p-Mistress of Pain, 24pts on Warp Armor, 10% on set body or Armor of Old Religion), and very low success farming Fauntz at high clear speed.

For the price and the flexibility the Lightning set is soo strong! Ghostmoon seems to be fairly reasonable since it won't resist your ability to get Ice Elementals. Mistress of Pain really needs a lot of testing (and of course the last two items). I would love to see what true potential can come out of it, and whether leaning more avoid damage of giving up some of that for physical resist is more worth at the end of the day.

Sadly I haven't even bothered with the Greater Riftwalker to attempt a rift.
