Some crafting questions

[Wubbie]

Hi there,

Planning on going to craft with a high level char of my.

Planning to make: Caster amulets.

So the cube recept is:

Magic Amulet
Ral Rune
Perfect Amethyst
Any Jewel

My questions are about the ilvl, clvl and affixes wich play the biggest part in crafting goldy amulets.

Planning to craft myself a +2 skills amu with 20 all res, 60 life and Teleport charges :drool:

At this link i have found some great info regarding crafting: http://www.diabloii.nu/affixcalc

Questions:

1. ilvl of the ammy is clvl + 5 when gambeling them. So if i use my lvl 88 char, i would get ilvl 93 ammys. Right?
2. About affixes. Its said on the battle.net site that you got a 100% chance of 4 affixes when ilvl is > 71. Does affixes mean: 4 perfix OR 4 suffix, or 2 prefix AND 2 suffix or a combination like 1 pre and 3 suff?
3. Is my combat lvl (88) high enough to make +2 skills ammy with ilvl 93 ammys?

Thanks in advance,

That means four in addition to the three guaranteed, and may be prefix or suffix.

I thought the item level four gambling could be above or below, but maybe I am wrong.

1. ilvl of the ammy is clvl + 5 when gambeling them. So if i use my lvl 88 char, i would get ilvl 93 ammys. Right?No. The Ilvl from gambled items is Clvl -5 to +4. Your character would gamble items with Ilvl 83 to 92.

2. About affixes. Its said on the battle.net site that you got a 100% chance of 4 affixes when ilvl is > 71. Does affixes mean: 4 perfix OR 4 suffix, or 2 prefix AND 2 suffix or a combination like 1 pre and 3 suff?4 affixes max, and 3 prefixes or 3 suffixes max. With 3 prefixes for example, you can still get one suffix.

3. Is my combat lvl (88) high enough to make +2 skills ammy with ilvl 93 ammys?If you use the Ilvl 92 amulets, yes. Otherwise not.

4 affixes max, and 3 prefixes or 3 suffixes max. With 3 prefixes for example, you can still get one suffix.


Not true, you cna get seven mods on a crafted item.

[Wubbie]

3 Fixed affixes i know of.
the 4 others are random suffixes or prefixes.

That's true as well. But mods aren't always affixes.

[Baltrek]

But mods aren't always affixes.

Say what? ALL mods are affixes. An affix is EITHER a prefix, or a suffix. I defy you to name a single magic mod that is neither.

RTB is distinguishing between the random affixes listed in MagicPrefix and MagicSuffix.txt, and the item mods that are described in CubeMain.txt or in fact in SetItems and UniqueItems.txt.

Affixes have an affix level, an affix name, a required level, etc associated with them. And they give an item some magical property.

The fixed mods granted by the crafting recipes, and fixed mods on uniques and sets, do not have these things (although they may have the same effect as some). That is an important distinction.

A craft can give 3 or 4 fixed mods (depending on recipe), and up to 4 random affixes (depending on ilvl).
