Example - you wrote, that we should creepy craft belt for high %str. Okay, but no matter how i craft my sacred plated belt, it gives out maximally 5% and +20. So, it is technically not possible to craft belt that gives more stregth than

Maybe i am doing something wrong? I am also not sure if there is a possibility to upgrade white superior item straight into the yellow one (except charsi ofc).

Max %Str you can get is 5% and the max flat strength you can get is 75 (20 srine + 55 suffix). I believe there was a suffix for %strength long time before, but not anymore. So bless you can get max of 10% strength and 95 flat, but thats like the absolute max roll. Usually good roll would be considered 8%+ and 50+.

Thank you very very much for your answer, but i still dont know, how to change white item into yellow - is that possible? I also understand the meaning of suffix etc, but i am not sure how to get that suffix while shrine crafting.

@E ive checked and i see that theese suffixes occurs random. Is this possible that this suffix can just spawn randomly and add to +strength from shrine craft?

When you craft, guaranteed mods are those on shrines. Rest is random. You roll a random rare item each time + shrine stats. So you need to get lucky, get good stats first.
To make item rare, you can use charsi imbue quest, or new in this patch oils of enchantment (it has different name, forgot)? There is new type of oil that drops randomly I think, maybe it drops in red portals in a5, don't know. But it works same as charsi quest, turns white item into a rare, that then can be crafted.
Another way is to just find rare base, set your filter for them. By the time you are 120, you should have almost all bases rare that just dropped naturally.

edit:

A1: Oil of Greater Luck - 40% lucky
-Cave 1&2 (Cold Plains)
-Hole 1&2 (Black Marsh)
-The Pit (Tamoe Highlands)

A2: Oil of Augmentation - Magic -> Rare
-Stony Tomb/Treasure Vault (Rocky Wastes)
-Halls of the Dead 1-3 (Dry Hills)
-Ancient Tunnels (Lost City)

A3: Oil of Intensity - Shrine craft/bless stats roll in the top half of the range
-Spider Caverns (Spider Forest)
-Swampy Pit 1&2, Flayer Dungeon 1-3 (Flayer Jungle)
-The 6 Temples (Kurast Bazaar, Upper Kurast, Kurast Causeway)

I am honestly loving this build this season. I've managed to do everything up to and including 120 except Teganze, Ureh, Invasion II and Triune. I can farm Triune decently, but I think that will wait until I get slightly better gear. Teganze I'm going to attempt again now that I have most of the charms. I even managed to do Baal this season. Took 18 minutes, but I managed to whittle him down. All that's left is for me to farm Duncraig to hit 125. I also think I'm ready to start crafting gear. I'm using a 506 Labrys right now with Time Strike ctc, nothing socketed. I have a spare Labrys, just need more shrines. I managed a decent helm, could definitely be better, but out of Creepy. I made a nice pair of gloves as well. 28 Max, 40 Flat STR, 5% STR, 30 Dex Vita and NRG, with 40% Psn res. I got my Truce and Erawan and a crap Angel Heart then just some rare ring's with Vampiric Icon, LL, and Res then MO'd. Still using Lionpaws, but I have a pair of boots to craft, just need creepy still. I also need to get a 1h Axe to craft for Motw. All in all, I'm happy with it. I've got level 123 in 2 days of playing and it's super easy to play. IF there's anything you think I can approve upon I'd love to hear it. Thanks for the guide aerial!

Ureh is really easy if you use leap. Try to fight boss so that you block stairs and they cant follow you, less enemies around = easier fight.
Teganze also isn't hard, just move away when that guy turns invicible, you can't dps him anyway during that stage, and continue attacking when he turns into human form.
Of all these really baal is probably most annoying, takes longest.

As for gear I'd probably not use truce, since you should have decent survival, especially with TA trophy, running with around 30% physical res is more than fine.

I've never attempted Ureh, always just buy the charm. I guess I just don't understand it well, that's no issue tho. Teganze did turn out to be easy with the charms and everything.

I still need Truce for now. I'm only sitting at 24% PR. I have 1 Fragment of the TA trophy so far so I need to farm that some more, but that's where I'm sitting.
I also managed to craft some decent boots. 15 MS, 4 CB, 36 STR, 4%str, 29 AA. I think I can get those better, but I'm rather happy so far. I'm considering trying another new build once I get around 130 to swap things up a bit. If you have any recommendations there, I'd love to hear them. Barb or non-barb.

I was wondering if there's something funky you could do with

Bul Kathos' Temper

Bul Kathos' Temper
Avenger Guard (Sacred)
Defense: (2868 - 3242) to (3185 - 3601)
(Barbarian Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 625
Item Level: 105
1% Chance to cast level 60 Tempest on Death Blow
+(20 to 30)% to Lightning Spell Damage
-(10 to 20)% to Enemy Lightning Resistance
+(14 to 20) to Forked Lightning
+(10 to 20) to Lightning Shield
+(130 to 160)% Enhanced Defense
+30 Life after each Kill
Socketed (4)

I know it isn't a great item, and would be more than a meme for the most part, but I was just curious if there was a way to make a build out of that, that is half decent.

Caster barb is a thing, you can build around it with forked lightning.

Hi, how to craft a sacred labrys with +300 dmg and 200%ed when the weird shrine only adds (3 to 9)-(3 to 18) Damage
+(30 to 55)% Enhanced Damage?

Two-handed axe can roll 150%-200% enhanced damage and 63-310 max damage, weird shrine just helps sub-maximum rolls get there.

Does it matter how good/bad the rare scared labrys i use to craft? Shrine bless and oil of greater luck it after right? thanks

The rare you use has nothing to do with it, it's a total reroll.

And yeah, lucky after then shrine bless if you're happy with it.
