The basis for the calculation of the affix level is the item level. All pre- and suffixes with a level up to the calculated affix level can spawn on the Crafted Item.

To determine which pre- and suffixes can spawn on the Crafted Item the affix level has to be calculated. Note: this does not mean you will keep the Magical Bonuses on the item you place in the cube, this simply means that it's possible to combine the 'fixed' Crafted Bonuses with normal Magic Prefixes and Suffixes. 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. 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.īecause 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. The Level Requirement of crafted items will be higher than that of a rare item even if they have the same random prefixes/suffixes.Ĭrafted Items are pretty much a free shot of creating a Rare Item. Creating a Crafted Item is just like the Imbue quest reward in that it takes the base item, and creates a new one with new properties. When you Craft an item it loses all of its original Magical Prefixes/Suffixes. These are generated pretty much the same way as a Rare item. On top of those fixed properties, a Crafted Item can have from 1-4 standard Rare and Magic Prefix and Suffixes. It's also nice to be able to create an item knowing which fixed magical bonuses are going to always appear which is not the case with Magic or Rare Items.Ĭrafted Items have 1-4 Random Magical Prefixes/Suffixes Often the Fixed Properties are not available normally on Magic or Rare Items.

For example, there are some Crafted Items guaranteed to have from 5-10% Chance of Crushing Blow. Crafted Items have the potential to be better than Rare Items and possibly certain Set or Unique Items.Įach Crafted Item has one or more fixed properties. These serious players can have the ingredients and time to create a good Crafted Item. Crafted Items are a form of Gambling for high level players or 'hardcore' players. They can only be created with The Horadric Cube. Crafted items are similar to rare items, but cannot be Gambled, dropped by Monsters or found in Chests.
