Crafting Question

[Gangles]

I have a crafting question regarding amulets.

I read on Arreat Summit that ilevel 90 amulets have a chance to get +2 to a classes skills mod(i.e. +2 to Amazon Skills). Well I have been saving items to craft such amulets but my hammerdin is only level 88. Will it be possible to craft such an amulet with him or will he need to be level 90??

Also I heard when you gamble items they are + or - 2 levels from your own level. Does this mean that if I am level 90 that I only have a 50% chance to gamble an amulet that is able to have +2 Amazon skills.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is really about the most frequently asked question on this entire board, it wouldn't have taken you long to find the answer by looking. But, here it is again:

As the AS says, an amulet has to be ilvl 90 to spawn +2 skills.
When you craft an amulet, the result will have ilvl = [clvl/2] + .
Since you are clvl 88, to get ilvl 90 you need input ilvl at least 92. That is not easy to get. You will have to get one from Hell Diablo, Nihlathak, or Baal. You [i]could gamble one, but it is fairly unlikely (10%) to be ilvl 92, and you will have no way of knowing it is when it is.

When you gamble, the ilvl of the item is randomly from clvl-5 up to clvl+4. So you currently have a 30% chance of getting ilvl 90, and if you get up to clvl 90 you will have a 50% chance.

As the AS says, an amulet has to be ilvl 90 to spawn +2 skills.
When you craft an amulet, the result will have ilvl = [clvl/2] + [input ilvl/2].


Also at clvl 93, you will gamble a min ilvl of 88: therefore; 90 = (93/2) + (88/2).

So follow thrugg's advice or gain 5 more levels.

While we're on the subject of crafting ammys, i'm looking for a +2 pally FCR ammy at the moment and this guy had 2 of them which were both clvl89. He says that all +2 crafted ammys are lvl89, is this true? It just seems a bit high, like i'll have to spend so much time lvling just to be able to use it.

Rare amulets only have to be about lvl67 to have +2 skills right?

You always need +22 level for crafted items to have the same mod appeared on rare items. Yes, all +2 skill crafted amulet required level 89 at least, unless you got some ****ty charges of whatever crappy spells on it which may pump up the level requirement further. Similarly, all + 1 skills crafted amulet requires at least level 49, being level 27 (as on rare amulet) + 22.

Minor quibble Alywin, it isn't always +22, although people rarely notice when it is not.
It is actually +(10 + 3*number of random mods). So if you only get 3 random mods, it will only be +19. But, any decent craft usually has the max 4 random mods on it, so the +22 is a good rule of thumb.
