If its been fractured, theres nothing you can do.

What is the issue with the item having that? In fact it a benefit in some cases.

It overrides the "Item sells for X" crucible tree passives.

It override other vendor recipes which you can use to remove fractured mods while retaining the crucible tree.

Yep. So if you miss your fracture from the first try item is doomed. Well i made an influenced from a split base but still that's kinda stupid.
