Hi, I have some questions about cubing magical items, and I was wondering if I understood it right.
For example, let's say I'd like to cube "shimmering" grand charms: looking on the arreat summit site, it says they have a qlvl of 35 for [13..15]% resit all.
Using the "3 perfect gems + 1 magic item" cube recibe, we know that input ilvl = output ilvl.
So, in order to narrow the range of possible affixes, the best way to proceed would be to find a grand charm with a ilvl of 35.
Looking at nobbie's magic find guide, Halls of Vaught in Normal Act5 and Blood Moor/Cold Plains in NM Act1 have an arealvl of 36, which means that charms dropping from normal monsters, chest, etc. should have an ilvl of 36.
Since there are no affixes for grand charms with qlvl=36, there should be no difference between (grand) charms with ilvl=35 or ilvl=36.
Is it right, or am I completely lost?
