Get the base item you want to craft on
Check that the base can roll minion-related modifiers
Use currency to raise the item level if needed
Use transmutation or alchemy to make it magic or rare
Roll for minion modifiers such as minion damage, minion life, minion attack speed, or +levels to minion skills if available
Use augmentation, alteration, regal, or chaos-style currency to refine the affixes
Use bench crafting or equivalent crafting systems if available to fill missing useful stats
For a Spirit Amulet, prioritize spirit-related implicit or explicit stats if the item can roll them
Look for modifiers that increase spirit, minion power, mana efficiency, or skill levels depending on your build
Use essence, fossil, or other specialized crafting methods if they support the desired affix pool
If possible, combine a strong amulet base with minion-supporting affixes through advanced crafting
Keep the item level high enough to access the best modifier tiers
Stop crafting once you hit the desired combination of affixes
Use an upgrade or enchant system only if it improves the final minion or spirit stats
