+skills on claws

[mrflippy]

Is it possible to get plusses to low level skills on claws? For example, +1 to Claw Mastery as an innate bonus on a claw? I remember reading somewhere that the lower level skills were only available in lower acts or difficulties, but I can't find anything to confirm this.

It is very difficult to do this, and they do not spawn normally. All of the normal claws are unable to get staffmods, so by the time you can get the claws with staffmods, they have too high of an ilvl to get bottom tier skills.

In order to get the low tiers you need to take a low-quality claw that is able to get staffmods and use the low quality -> normal cube recipe.

Hmm... Would that mean that I couldn't also get a +3 skill tab prefix since the ilvl is 1?

Edit: Well, if it's low quality, I guess it wouldn't be magical in the first place...

Right, no +3 tabs with low lvl stuff. That way would provide you a claw that could get 2 sockets (I think) and then you could put Wind in it. :prop:

I think another way to do it would be to imbue them with a very low level character. I could be wrong on this, item generation isn't my strong point.
