How are rare items created?
I have two theories:
1
first, the game chooses how many affixes it will have. Next it determines what type of affix it has (IE... cold resist any %, +Dam +AR). Then it uses the ilvl of the item to find out what the affix name will be and the corresponding value for each affix, omitting any that are too high. Repeat for the # of affixes it has.
2
The game chooses # of affixes. Then, it finds any random affix (not according to group). Repeat. If another affix with the same group number comes up, redo affix.
The reason I want to know is because imbueing/crafting at low levels can increase chances of getting what you want dramatically if the second theory is true. Otherwise, you dont even have to bother with ilvls and such.
