I just ran a rack that seemed to alter drop depending on where I was standing while casting hydra?
Edit: And, I'm almost certain where you cast hydra will affect drops. On rack vs above/below etc

It does. The only thing that affects a racks drop is the number of sprites spawning, and their location. That's why some racks are 50% stable for example. Sometimes the pack spawns 3, sometimes 4.
I don't know if the second weapon matters at all since I don't know the mechanics. iirc you definitely want shae in the main one for the ias bp but I only ever really used BK swords

What do you guys craft with your materials? Obviously do rings for maek / chance at unique ring with resists
But how do you use your runes? Is it worth crafting mat javelins? Melee weapons? Sorc orbs or staves?
Edit: Also do you get a new ring for every resist craft?

What do you mean by your edit?
I will try to answer/add to your first point. Craft rings with rubies of any kind + exploding potions (pick up pots one at a time w/ the inventory open otherwise you will only get one stack), craft 2x any topaz with rings for lite res and antidote pot + emeralds of any kind for poison res. These can all roll set/rare/unique like the cold res recipe so they're worth doing (especially lite res)
'shae' for greater blood gloves, ko/lum for blood ring/ammy and 6 perfect gems (all but skull) for prismatic amulets (just like the res rings but even better). Craft amulets at lvl 91+ for +3 skill tree.
Save sol for blood boots iirc (caster? maybe both?) and you can even make lesser blood/caster boots which are comparably good to the best boots (natalya's typically) but could have other useful perks as well.
Save all ort/fal for crafted weapons until you have something in particular you want to make (like mat javs you mentioned, or an amp dmg safety bow for a rogue merc).
I think dol and some other midrunes are useful but might as well collect lots of everything but el runes (I think eld for lesser boots which is why I started picking them up)

When you craft an item, the ilvl drops by 33% right? So if you craft a ring 50 times in a row, wouldn't the ring be ilvl 1? And if that is the case, can you get any good rings from ilvl 1 crafts
I just found these crazy boots at LK

Looks like I wont be crafting boots anytime soon
Oh. No, it's always your clvl*0.66 (ilvl=65 result for lvl 99 char) with some buggy exceptions that aren't understood which gives ilvl 99.
You might have read on @WoRG's post the other day about 1.08 crafting where when you reroll jewels with the 6x pskull recipe they slowly reduce to some number and stop there (I don't remember exactly the numbers).
So to answer your question, you just use the same ring until it rolls something you like
edit: what %frw are those boots?

I think theyre 40%? Fast is 20, faster is 30, and fastest is 40? I dont have ATMA installed on my new computer and TBH I never got it working with D2se. Maybe Ill try in a bit.
Whats the best melee base to craft? Or should I not waste my time with crafting those and get a grandfather / BK weapon?

No it actually depends on the item. It's not consistent. Because they're rare, I'm thinking it is 30%
crafted weapons are situational like javelins (you probably want amp dmg and/or replenish and/or increased quantity) or bows (amp dmg) or feor later versions since they can get 3os they have some uses (again situational since RWs in later versions trump pretty much everything).
Grandfather, BK set, Baranar's cover most melee options.

I do exploding pots straight into cube (w/inventory open). Cube keeps em separate.

!!!
Now that I found that, time to level up my javazon. How did you guys spend your skill points? I have maxed pierce, LF and critical strike. 4 points in dodge, evade and the other one. 1 point wonders up to strafe. Guided arrow or multishot to finish off small cow packs?
Does anyone remember the level to buy hydra bows from shops / get GMB from anya reward?
Fun fact its my 3rd racked unique, first 2 being rusthandle and lenymo I got 3 set balrogs before this

I hate her too. Quit annoying me with your quest! I've avenged your son many, many times already! And, what am I supposed to do with all these Horadric Scrolls? I already know what they say!
I got 30+ before my first gold. Now I'm probably sitting on 50 something
