Spawning crafted items with +sockets mods

[Frosty_The_Snowman]

Hi all, this question may be a bit hard to answer to, but anyway... :

On the official arreat summit site, in the magic prefixes section (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/pre.shtml), here's what I can read :

"Colors
Items shown in yellow can appear on both Magic and Rare Items. Items shown in violet can only appear on Magic Items but not Rare Items."

And so, a bit further, in the sockets section, here's what I can read :

"Mechanic's Add 1-2 Sockets Body Armor(10), Circlets(10), Helms(10), Shields(10), Weapons(10)
Artisan's Add 3 Sockets Body Armor(33), Helms(33), Shields(33), Weapons(33)
Jeweler's Add 4 Sockets Body Armor(55), Helms(55)[3], Shields(55), Weapons(55)"

OK, now I was asking to myself : What about crafted items :scratch: ? I've already seen crafted items spawning a "socketed (1)" mod. For example, take a look here (http://www.d-2.dk/Underside%20Hit%20Power%20Weapon.htm) at the bottom of the page (soul bludgeon, devil star).

So my question now : is it possible to spawn every magic and rare socketing mod on a crafted items, or can I spawn only the rare one (Mechanic's) ? For example, can I spawn a crafted body armor with the "socketed (3)" mod ?

Thanx so much,
Frosty_The_Snowman :surprise:

you forgot to take a look at the crafted items page (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/crafteditems.shtml)
"Crafted Items are pretty much a free shot of creating a Rare Item. You don't know if you'll get a "good" item since the bonuses are random but you do have a better chance than trying to find a Rare Item or Gambling for a Rare Item.

Because Crafted Items have fixed stats you have much more control over what magical bonuses will appear as opposed to finding or Gambling a Rare Item.

You can stack the "fixed" Magical Prefixes/Suffixes with regular Magical Prefixes/Suffixes that can appear on Rare Items to create bonuses that are much higher than would normally appear on a Rare Item"

answering your question, no, no "magic only" affixes can spawn in a crafted item.

answering your question, no, no "magic only" affixes can spawn in a crafted item.

I seem to remember hearing that that was the case in 1.09, but that in 1.10, Crafted items can spawn with "Magic Only" modifiers. I don't have one to prove it with, but that's what the Grapevine says.

i'm pretty sure somebody will come along and clarify, but arreats is outdated and many violet affixes can appear on rares/crafts. iirc, almost all violet affixes can appear on rares/crafts now.

works that way for 1.10 too, check it at d2data.net

There's is no clue on d2data.net, here is what they say :

Yellow Number The Affixes which can be attached to Magic,Rare,Crafted item.
Blue Number The Affixes which can be attached only to Magic item.


So on the contrary, it seems that only rare mods can appear on crafted items :scratch:.

To which part are you refering to say that magic mods can appear too (link please) ??

Emm... I know that's not possible to get 3 sockets or 4 sockets mods.... but since "Mechanic's (1-2)" is available.... would it be possible that a Crafted item spawn with TWO sockets?

Just like any rare items... although they are limited to one-socket-only with any "make socket" action (quest reward, cube formula).. but when it spawn "Mechanic's", it's possible to get up to 2 sockets.

So, is Crafted item possible to have 2 sockets?

I have spawned a nice rare elite armor with huge resists, 50+ life, mana, big % def bonus and... two sockets ^^

I hope the same can happen to crafted items, and I believe... yes. On each site I have visited, they say crafted is like rares concerning the mods :scratch:.
