I honestly don't like crafted amulets, although I may be in the minority. It's really hard to beat a perfect Mara's, and that also boosts CTA in addition. A perfect Spirit/Hoto/Arach's/

Magefist is already enough imo to hit the 80/105 breakpoint for palas/sorcs. I guess you could want the 125 for a pala but I don't really think it's worth it, to each their own however.

I also prefer

Mara's Kaleidoscope personally (most of the time), but there are more cases than what you listed where an FCR amulet is necessary;
- If you want to make a 200 FCR sorc.
- If you want to self-wield Infinity as a sorc with

Nova

Ormus' Robes and at least one

The Stone of Jordan (two for optimized damage) and still hit the 105 FCR breakpoint.
- If you want to hit the 163 FCR breakpoint as a

Tornado Druid with Enigma.
- If you want to hit the 102 FCR breakpoint as a Fire Traps Assassin with Enigma (you will want to have some -res on weapon and/or shield over FCR).
(and probably some more cases I didn't think of)

That's fair, I admit my ignorance on most classes outside Palas and Sorcs, whic are usually the classes that want FCR the most. Didn't think of self-wield Infinity in all honesty, but definitely agree there. I still think I'd prefer a 10fcr ring over a crafted amu in that case even if 2 SoJs are optimal (assuming Griffons/

Magefist/Arach), I'd also prefer Vipermagi over

Ormus for the FCR, but that's me of course.

The bottom line is for me at least 1

Jah for a perfect Maras is way better than 10 for a crafted FCR amulet, as the other 9 can easily go into building out other characters.

Yeah there's definitely specific use-cases to take advantage of the higher FCR a

Caster Amulet can provide. Which makes it that more difficult to craft a useful one.

Side note : the class that MAY be the one actually needing the most a 2/20 amulet can also be the necromancer, the 125 breakpoint is not really easy to achieve if you choose any route different than HotO + Spirit.

Heart of the Oak

That's why i stopped crafting

Caster Amulet this season.
Far too random : waste of time / ressources ^^
Anyway, congrats on your craft

Best way is to craft until limit to get at least 1 valuable item. Trade for this and go on. Rewards are fine. Also consider Blood Items.
