Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
In 1.07, crafting is different from later patches...first, the ilvl of the base item is completely irrelevant, the only thing that matters is clvl, which is multiplied by 0.66, rather than the 0.5 of later patches...so clvl makes a bigger difference, but gets no help from base item ilvl. Max crafting ilvl in 1.07 is 99 * 0.66 = 65. The number of additional affixes does seem to follow the same formula as later patches:
Code:
ilvl 1-30 : 40% chance of 1 affix, 20% chance each for 2, 3 or 4 affixes
ilvl 31-50 : 60% chance of 2 affixes, 20% chance each for 3 or 4 affixes
ilvl 51-70 : 80% chance of 3 affixes, 20% chance for four affixes
ilvl 71+ :100% chance of 4 affixes
note that because crafted ilvl is clvl * 0.66, you need to be clvl 47 for ilvl 31, and clvl 78 to get ilvl 51...you can never get ilvl 71+ to guarantee 4 affixes.
points (2) (3) and (4) are all correct.
You can tell from the ilvl of your bow (47) that you crafted it with a clvl 72 character...
I agree that it looks like your bow has Cruel...that is great, as I'd like to eventually craft one myself...you may be right that the qlvl of hydra bow is 76, that would be high enuff (my notes say qlvl74, which JUST misses it) or it may be that the alvl of some of the higher level affixes is a bit lower as well...either is good news for crafters
I'm still pretty dang sure that grandmasters is out of reach for crafting, but a Lord's Cruel Hydra Bow of Alacrity and Evisceration would still be mighty sweet
Maybe some of the other forum members who have done alot of crafting could share their experiences...I really do wonder about some of the higher alvl affixes in 1.07...
