Quote:The reason i asked is because of an earlier post, "at what clvl does griswold sell" something or other, (i cant remember) and all i could make out from what griswold sells, is that if its under 200000, and your clvl 28 he will sell any item in slot 6, (and if youve been to hell in single player). what i couldnt find was the ilvl to the item the guy wanted to match it to his clvl. but if ilvl and qlvl are basicaly the same are they averaged together ((base qlvl)+(prefix qlvl)+(suffix qlvl)/3) to equal the ilvl? thanks.
In multiplayer Diablo, Gris generates 6 premium items with ilvls from clvl-1 (bottom two slots) up to clvl+2 (the last slot), with a maximum ilvl of 30. This explain why he can sell any item it's possible for him to sell in the last slot once you reach a clvl of 28, and in all slots once you reach a clvl of 31. (The price cap in Diablo is 140,000 though, not 200,000 as in later versions of Hellfire.)
In a slot with a given ilvl, Gris will sell items whose preffix and/or suffix have a qlvl in the range [ilvl/2]--ilvl. There is no averaging that goes on --- the ilvl just determines the minimum and maximum possible qlvls.
For instance, suppose you want to know at what clvls Gris can sell a massive (qlvl=20) bow of swiftness (qlvl=10) in multiplayer Diablo. Both qlvls are less than 30, and the price of such a bow is always less than 140,000gp, so there is no restriction on Gris selling the item. Also, since 10 >= [20/2]=10, the item is a possible one, whereas a savage (qlvl=23) bow of swiftness (qlvl=10) can't occur, since 10 < [23/2] = 11. (This is just the condition that the qlvls of the prefix and the suffix have to lie in the range [ilvl/2]--ilvl for some ilvl.)
To get massive, you need ilvl >= 20 (otherwise the upper limit ilvl is too small to get a qlvl of 20), and to get swiftess you need ilvl <= 21 (otherwise the lower limit [ilvl/2] is too large to permit a qlvl of 10). So the ilvl has to be in the range 20--21. To buy one at Gris, this means your clvl has to be in the range 18--22. Using the ilvls of the slots given in JG(1, 2=clvl-1; 3,4=clvl; 5=clvl+1; 6=clvl+2) , you see that the possible slots to find the bow are:
clvl=18: slot 6
clvl=19: slot 5, 6
clvl=20: slot 3, 4, 5
clvl=21: slot 1, 2, 3, 4
clvl=22: slot 1, 2
As far as the base type goes, according to JG Gris sells premium items with base type in the range [ilvl/4]--ilvl. For ilvl=20,21 this gives base type qlvls of 5--20 or 5--21. This means he can sell a massive/swiftness bow in all bases types up to a long war bow (qlvl=19), except for a short bow (qlvl=1) or a hunter's bow (qlvl=3), whose qlvls are too low to be allowed on any massive bow sold by Gris.
Hope that helped...
