"Crafted Items Questions"
 
   Perhaps Spirea or someone could help me clear up a little doubt about Crafted Items....

1) Which of these Items can I Craft?
Plain, Socketed, Magic, Rare, Set, Unique items

2) Do Craft bonuses stack on top the ingredient's bonus? Or does it erase it and put in its own 1-5 Set, 1-5 Random bonuses?

3) Can Craft items gain Magic-Only mods?

4) Please confirm if this is true: "The Random bonuses that are available, are only 2/3 of your clvl. Hence, not even a clvl 99 character can obtain ilvl 67 mods, aiya, such as Cruel and of-Evisceration."

5) How many sockets would a Crafted Item obtain during the engrave-socket quest? How would this fare with the 3-Perf-Skull and 1-SoJ recipe, that claims to add one more socket?
Right now I think they can only get 1 socket. But it'll be made pointless if that other recipe can keep on adding sockets.

Please some quick answers will solve a lot of trouble for me!

   1 Plain or Superior items, Both socketed of course.

2 I have seen Crafted items pics with +14% durability from being Superior base items so I would say yes.

3 I havent seen any official word on this and have seen people post both rare and Magic. My personal guess is magic based on a crafted mace pic with 24% life steal.

4 I have read same but can only assume it is true.

5 I beleive this is bugged in beta and final number will be 1 socket.

   Wel, I've only crafted one item in the beta (because I've mostly played in hell/act V and the drops there are bugged -- jewels don't drop, period). Based on that and Spirea's info

http://spirea.lurkerlounge.com/Cube_Recipes.shtml

the dii.net info doesn't seem to agree exactly

http://www.diabloii.net/items/crafted/recipes.shtml

I would say:

1) recipes require magic items (I haven't tried it with a rare, which I assume doesn't work)

I crafted a magical spiders bow

2) Craft bonuses erase bonuses on the original item; they don't stack

3) I've read that crafted items can gain magic-only stats, but I can't confirm this from personal experience

4) It says that items gain bonuses at 66% of clvl, so I assume that's true

5) I used the socket-quest reward on the crafted spiders bow, and got three sockets. I assume this is a bug that will be fixed to allow only one socket on crafted items in the final release.

   Awesome page for crafted items is at diabloii.net:

http://www.diabloii.net/items/crafted/recipes.shtml

Some things to note:
-The item ingredient varies; sometimes it might require a specific magical elite, othertimes just a weapon.

-Crafted items can gain magic only stats, *BUT* as they are spawned with a max ilvl of 66% clvl, they can never get affixes such as cruel (201%-300% dam), even with a lvl100 char.

-If the recipe can be created with any quality item - then use a superior, as the crafted item will retain the superior bonuses.

   Wow thanks everyone for the superb replies. Cleared a lot more...

Oh well. What good magic-only ilvl < 66 affixes are there then?

So an enhanced damage bow used in craft will retain it enhanced damage (from superiority, I meant)?

Jeweler's - this will give you 4 sockets
Master's - this prefix has equivalent iLvl with King's, and much better than.
elemental damages, which average comes up to around 150
+2 to skill levels

there would be much more thing.. but anyone can't be confirmed by now.
only time will tell.


regards,

Woah!?!? Should I roll a Jeweler's prefix would that mean I'll be getting a 4-four socket Crafted Grand Matron Bow? Or, whatever GMB's cap at? I.E. 3?

That's still more than the measly one you get from the imbue-socket quest!
