confused about crafting :S

[Findux]

Hi

I want to craft my own gloves and I'm really confused. How do I know what the ilvl, qlvl and clvl should be. I know it depends on what mods I want. I have checked battle.net's magic prefixes and suffixes, but I don't understand what this mean: for example, the 20 IAS mod can be spawned on gloves(43). What does (43) means? Do the ilvl or qlvl need to be at least 43?

Please help me :undecided:

It means that the affix level needs to be at least 43. In most cases, affix level on an item is determined by ilvl - qlvl/2 (rounded down).

So if I craft vambracers (qlvl 69), then the ilvl need to be at least 77?

So if I craft vambracers (qlvl 69), then the ilvl need to be at least 77?

If the qlvl>66, it is always a 'high level' item, and then the affix level is determined by 2*X-99, where X is the highest of ilvl and qlvl. So ilvl 71 should be enough in that case (2*71-99=43).

When you craft, you should nearly always aim for an output level of at least 71 anyway, because that will guarantee four random affixes on the item.

The number of affixes doesn't depend on the affix level of the item, but on the final item level.
