Eldritch Implicits: Rolling Eater & Exarch Mods the Smart Way

Eldritch implicits are one of the biggest power spikes you can add to an item. They sit in extra implicit slots — one from the Eater of Worlds (blue/cold) and one from the Searing Exarch (red/fire) — on top of the item's normal mods. Rolled well, they add another tier of damage, defence, or utility to gear you've already crafted. Here's how the system actually works.

The two influences

Every eligible item can hold two eldritch implicits:

• Searing Exarch (red) — applied with Eldritch Embers.
• Eater of Worlds (blue) — applied with Eldritch Ichors.

You add or reroll each side independently, so a finished item can carry one strong Exarch implicit and one strong Eater implicit at the same time.

The currency tiers

Both embers and ichors come in ascending tiers, and the tier controls how powerful a roll you can hit:

1. Lesser → Greater → Grand → Exceptional (and beyond).

Higher-tier currency unlocks higher-tier implicits. Using a currency of a given tier rerolls that side's implicit into a random mod of up to that tier — so, like all rolling, you often reroll several times to land the specific implicit you want at the tier you want.

Eldritch Chaos / Exalted / Annul

Three more items fine-tune the pair:

• Eldritch Chaos Orb — rerolls both eldritch implicits at once.
• Eldritch Exalted Orb — adds an eldritch implicit if one side is empty.
• Eldritch Annulment Orb — removes one eldritch implicit.

There's also eldritch altar / "favour" weighting you can build up to bias the pool toward the mod you're chasing — worth doing before spamming high-tier currency.

Where it fits in a craft

Eldritch implicits are usually a late step, after the base item's explicit mods are done:

1. Craft the item's normal mods first — the alteration/regal/chaos grind (see chaos spam vs alt-regal-exalt or the influenced items guide).
2. Add and roll the eldritch implicits with embers/ichors to the tiers your build wants.
3. Finish — perfect values (Divine) and, if you're gambling, corrupt last.

Where automation fits

Exiled Bench automates the explicit-mod grind — the part where you spam alteration/augmentation or other rolling currency until your target mods appear. The eldritch layer uses its own dedicated currency on a separate implicit pool, so you roll that by hand — but you get there faster because the base item was rolled for you.

Tips

• Weight before you spam. Building altar favour toward your target implicit dramatically cuts how much high-tier currency you burn.
• Match the influence to the stat. Some standout implicits only exist on one side — check which of Eater vs Exarch actually carries the mod you want before spending.
• Do it before corrupting. A Vaal Orb locks the item; roll your eldritch implicits while you still can (see the Vaal corruption guide).

Get the base right first — that's the grind worth automating — then stack the eldritch power on top. See what Exiled Bench covers, or get access.
