Notes

Militant Faith: You want "Cloistered" on Sentinel or constitution. Use my timeless jewel guide if you need help. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpEiG9vwfQU
You want "1% increased effect of non-curse auras" The 2nd devotion modifier can be any of the following. Area damage, elemental damage or brand damage.
Reduced mana cost of skills can also work (you would want 10% of phys as extra fire damage fractured on your rings instead of mana/mana cost reduction if you get a militant faith with this).

Spectres: Use dark marionettes, any of them work. They auto revive after 3 seconds.

Watchers eye: Grace evade is the only "must have" mod. Hatred crit is 2nd priority. If it's too expensive, you can use zealotry crit instead. But hated crit is superior because it gives your explode base crit chance.

Forbidden jewels: they aren't needed to play the build, but they are very strong. Can skip out on them when you start out, but make them a priority for your first upgrade.

Ghost wands: This is where majority of the budget comes from, while they aren't "needed" to play the build, I wouldn't really suggest playing the build without these.

------------Crafting Guide for Penance Brand----------------
General advice: always check trade before crafting an item, when it's late in the league it might be cheaper if you buy it over crafting.

Wands:
Fracture cast speed on an imbued base (lower int base)
1) Use the fossil combo - corroded/jagged/metallic/shuddering - On average this is 2 tries to hit +1 all
2) Now you have to clean both your prefix and suffix. For suffix you can do "prefix cannot be changed and scour" If you have anyother prefix besides +1 all, then you have to annul (chance to brick)
3) Your wand wand should be "+1 all spell skill gems" and fractured cast speed, with nothing else.
4) craft "can have 3 crafted modifiers" and then "cannot roll attack". Then use harvest bench for "add/remove phys mod" There is a 33% chance your wand bricks here.
5) your wand is now done, craft 3 modifiers again and craft on double damage/spell damage.

Option 2:
Instead of fossils you can alt/aug spam until +1 all skills (after getting fractured cast speed)
While it's still magic, use craicic chimerals in bestiary to imprint. Then regal and annul off the regal mod (50% chance to brick, if it does, use your imprint and make another one)
Follow step 3 above

Helmet: Need a double influence archdemon crown (shaper/elder). Buy on trade if it's cheap, if not you just combine a shaper and elder helmet together (only need 1 archdemon) with awakener orb.
1) Spam essence of horror until you hit hypothermia
2) Your suffixes need to be 30% more ele dmg/hypothermia, if you have a third suffix annul
3) Craft "suffixes cannot be changed" and reforge crit, this gives you a 40% chance to hit spell crit, ideally you want 2% or 3%
If you hit attack crit you can use orb of dominance in attempt to elevate your hypothermia.
4) Once suffixes are done, you need to metacraft your prefix. Craft flat mana to block and double exalt slam until you hit concetrated effect
use wild bristle matron to force on "suffixes cannot be changed" and then scour to clear prefix (cheaper then crafting suffxes cannot be changed from bench)
5) Helmet is now done, you can craft aoe/+1 gems or life.

Body Armour: Would highly recommend to watch sushis video on double elevated boots (same method) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI14FVaCv8M
Could potentially also recomb this if you have enough knowledge. But follow sushis video until you hit tier 3 or better suppress on the chest with the tech he used.
Getting life is just RNG, can always craft it as well.
you can also just use a budget explode chest. As long as the chest has explode/spell suppression then it's useable, phyts taken as cold is not mandatory but very strong.

Gloves: Can make this recombs if you have enough knowledge on it
1) Fracture "increased damage with hits against chilled enemies" on the best es/evasion. (can easily use recombs to move the temple mod onto a better base).
2) Spam any elemental resist essence, until you hit another t1 res.
3) For prefix, either use wild bristle matron to force on suffixes cannot be changed and then reforge life OR use eldritch crafting
For eldritch crafting, craft mana to block, use 1 eldritch exalted orb. Take off the crafted mod and use eldritch annulment orb. Repeat until t1 or t2 life.

Boots: Can make this recombs if you have enough knowledge on it
1) Fracture "14% spell suppression" on the best es/evasion base you can afford.
2) Spam any elemental resist essence, until you hit another t1 res.
3) For prefix, either use wild bristle matron to force on suffixes cannot be changed and then reforge life OR use eldritch crafting
For eldritch crafting, craft mana to block, use 1 eldritch exalted orb. Take off the crafted mod and use eldritch annulment orb. Repeat until t1 or t2 life.
4) Use wild bristle matron to force on "suffixes cannot be changed" then veiled orb for a 50/50, unveil any movement speed and your boots are done (onslaught on skill is the best).

Regular Amulet: 
I don't recommend to craft this amulet, just buy it if it's cheap. Other alternatives are ashes of the stars or replica dragonfang with +3 skills to penance
Maybe doable with recombs but unsure, eitherway dragonfang is pretty similar in performance.

Focus Amulet:
Buy an unsplit focus amulet (can't have the "split' tag on it)
1) Chaos spam until you hit +1 all skills, then annul (33% chance to brick and have to chaos spam again)
2) once you have 2 mods, split the amulet through bestiary. This will make your focus amulet magic.
3) Use craicic chimerals to imprint your amulet (your amulet should just be +1 all skills, you can sell your 2nd amulet from the split).
4) Now you want to regal. If you hit a suffix go to the harvest bench and aug life. If you hit a prefix, then you have to annul. If it's rare with 1 mod, then craft "prefixes cannot be changed" and aug life
If your amulet ever bricks from an annulment orb, then use your imprints to return the amulet to the +1 all skills. Keep an extra one in stash in case you mess up.
Repeat the steps until you hit t1 or t2 life.

Ring:
1) Fracture T1 max life on a vermiliion base. (two-stone is fine if you really need the res).
2) Spam essence of scorn until you hit t1 cast speed OR t1 chaos res. Annul if you have 3 suffixes (need crit multi/chaos res or crit multi/cast speed).
3) Craft suffixes cannot be changed and reforge chaos if you need chaos resist or reforge caster if you need cast speed
4) with suffixes done, use wild bristle matron to force on "suffixes cannot be changed" and then use a veiled orb. Block any flat ele dmg before unveiling.

Kalandra touch isn't needed, if you're short on a res this would be a good spot to craft a different ring to fill out your res.

Medium Cluster: Check trade first if it's cheap
Spam reforge speed with harvest, exalt if you hit either grand deisng or remarkable.

Doryani cluster jewel:
This cluster is not needed for the build.
If you want to craft it, fracture "Corrosive elements" then use harvest reforge life, exalt/annul when you hit 2/3 mods.

Small cluster: I don't really recommend to craft the small cluster if only 3 prop. Cheapest way would be buying any of mods already fractured and then just chaos spamming or harvest life (use exalt/annul if you hit 2/3 mods)
How to craft 4 prop cluster jewel
1) Fracture 6% to all elemental resistances
2) Spam harvest reforge life
3) Use exalts/annuls if you hit 3 out of the 4 mods
4) Corrupt (hope it doesn't brick) and use tainted divine tear drops to finish
Can be expensive, don't need a 4 prop small for the budget version.
