Does Item Level matter for Crafts? - Taem - 02-14-2004 EDIT - Please disregard this post. I realized that I was confused and misread ilvl as clvl. I'll go ahead and leave my original post here to you can all laugh at my sleepy disillusioned silliness :P . I decided to try my hand at crafting and was gravely disappointed with some misinformation I heard. I entered a NORMAL game with my level 75 druid and started crafting. First I made a crafted CASTER ring (magic ring item level 1 + Amn + amethyst + jewel). The ring ended up with the three pre-determined modifiers and only ONE new modifier. Hummm... I thought to myself. I made two more, one with TWO new modifiers, and another with TWO; both with magical rings item level 1. Now I am greatly confused because if you read here: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cra...fteditems.shtml It says: Quote:Crafted Items have 3-4 Fixed Properties So where in the world are the rest of my modifiers? Does Item Level matter for Crafts? - Vash - 02-14-2004 According to that information, crafting is based on ilvl (the level of the item). Where did you get the ring that you're trying to craft? Remember that if an item is dropped by a monster, its ilvl is equal to the level of the monster that dropped it. If you gambled it, it's level is the level of the gambler, plus a few mods (ehhh..check up Arreat Summit on the random gambling level modifications). Not sure about the ilvl if it's store bought. Does Item Level matter for Crafts? - Obi2Kenobi - 02-14-2004 If it is store bought, it depends on your level, and the ilvl cap of the vendor you are buying it from. Does Item Level matter for Crafts? - adeyke - 02-14-2004 The final ilvl of the craft must be 71+ for the guaranteed 4 affixes. This is half the ilvl of the input item, rounded down, plus half the clvl of the crafter, rounded down. Gambled items' ilvl is clvl - 5 to clvl + 4. Bought items' ilvl is clvl + 5. There are caps if it was bought in normal.

This is half the ilvl of the input item, rounded down, plus half the clvl of the crafter, rounded down.Really? Now I'm even more confused :blink: . So if the item level is 71 on the item, I will get FOUR affixes, however the possible affix level is determined by character level? For example, if I get a level 1 character to craft a bunch of level 71 rings, they will still get FOUR affixes, but really crappy modifiers, right? Does the item level affect the affix level also? Seriously, I'm so confused on how character level factors into item level for the general output. I'm going to do a search on this site to see if I can't find any relevant information. Does Item Level matter for Crafts? - adeyke - 02-14-2004 It's like this: The ilvl of the crafted item is floor(.5 * clvl) + floor(.5 * ilvl). This ilvl is used for the determination of the number of affixes: Quote:At ilvls 1-30, there's a 40% chance of 1 affix and a 20% chance each of 2, 3 or 4 affixes. The ilvl is also used together with the qlvl of the base item to determine the alvl, which determines what affixes the item can have. So if you have a clvl 1 character and an ilvl 99 item, the ilvl of the output will be 49. If you have a clvl 99 character and an ilvl 1 item, the ilvl of the output will be 49. These two situations are exactly identical in terms of possible outcomes for the recipe. Only the ilvl of the output crafted item matters, not where the ilvl came from. If you have an ilvl 71 item and craft it with a clvl 1 character, you'll get an ilvl 35 crafted item. This has a 60% chance of 2 affixes and a 20% chance each of 3 or 4 affixes. The alvl would be based on this ilvl 35 and the qlvl of the base item. |
