Item Creation in D1

[Toverkol]

hmmmk, that rules out quite a number of items...

Can i deduct from all this that for finding good items it does not matter which difficulty you play, as long as you're in hell you're ok (excpet fro the change in base items)

read trough that chapter with extra notes on creation btw, and it notes there right below the quote you copied to me, that wirt and Adria will not sell above qlvl 30 either. (and then goes on about the price of those).
I am sure this is a mistake or some, i have crowns of the mammoth and maces of carnage on my chars, which they have bought from wirt (with lowerqlvl prefixes)...
i think it might at least be stated here that the actual range is from ilvl-ilvl*2 (in this case ilvl=clvl), and as such being able to get qlvl 60 affixes. (apart from the price cap)

there seems to be an exception to the max monster qlvl of 34 (31) being diablo, having a mlvl of 45.

The item creation guide still does not state anything about the possibilities of a monster dropping a book, which is possible, i'm very interested in how that would work. (the only option fromt he guide seems that both tables in the top of 3.13.1 are avtually one table and as such a qlvl 8 item could be just as well an amulet or book as a broad axe or helm.), and if so the dropping of books would be affected by difficulty, the spell on the book wouldnt.
As for books in town it's pretty easy to figure out (clvl 24-25 allows qlvl 14 (teleport) items)
(ill read trough the magic section soon to find out if that states something)

thanks for the help given already
