Melee weapons now have Melee Attacks Deal Splash Damage (except wands).Modifiers that automatically appear on all regular/magic/rare/crafted versions of items, and sometimes unique/set versions too Quivers can now be magic or rare (see affixes).All claws can now have pointmods (staffmods) - previously, claws couldn't if they had a qlvl below 40: all normal claws, Quhab, Wrist Spike, Fascia.Throwing weapons and arrows/bolts have unlimited quantity.Ethereal items no longer have half durability.Ethereal bonus reduced from 50% to 25% (most exceptional/elite weapons rebalanced so that eth stats remain the same).The recipe for each craft includes a jewel and a magic/rare base item as well as the runes/gems shown below. The predetermined affixes for many crafts have been adjusted, and new Vampiric/Bountiful crafting recipes have been added.Rare items can now be used in crafting recipes.Crafted items can now be upgraded (same recipes as upgrading rares).Crafted items no longer have higher level requirements than their rare equivalents (was +10 with an additional +3 per affix, up to +22).Using an ethereal item to craft will cause the resulting item to be ethereal.Safety Weapon crafts are restricted to Bows and Crossbows.Circlets (and quivers) are the exception, and cannot be crafted with.Crafting recipes are no longer limited to specific item bases (such as Helm/Casque/Armet for Blood Helms).As an example of when this is useful, consider that a level 88 character can gamble an ilvl 92 amulet and use it to craft an ilvl 90 amulet, which is the minimum ilvl needed for a chance to get +2 class skills as an additional affix. Note that merchants sell magic items that have an ilvl of clvl+5 and gambled items have an ilvl between clvl-5 and clvl+4. The amount of additional affixes depends on the ilvl of the crafted item. Bracketed values within the formula are rounded down. The ilvl of a crafted item is determined by the crafter's character level (clvl) and the ilvl of the ingredient equipment item used in the recipe. The affixes they can get depends on their affix level, which depends on their item level (ilvl). Except for ethereal, affixes from the ingredient equipment item are not transferred to the crafted item.Ĭrafted items get predetermined affixes and up to 4 additional affixes.

Crafting an item creates a new rare-like item of the same type as the equipment item used in the recipe.
