Although they may appear tedious to make, Crafted Items have the potential to be extremely powerful, and more valuable than even Unique Items.

Any magical item can be used, including Ethereal Items, or items socketed due to a magical prefix such as Mechanics.

However, after the crafted item is made, the ethereal or socketed condition would be gone, as crafting an item gets rid of any preexisting mods.

This is important to remember: magical items with mods that are desired by a player should not be crafted, as crafting them erases them.

There are four types of basic recipes that correspond to four types of pre-set mods.

For instance, crafting a Dimensional Shard at level 81 would spawn 4 higher level random mods, as opposed to crafting a Jareds Stone at level 20, which would most likely spawn 1 lower level mod.

Crafted Items can also have very high character level requirements, sometimes even over level 100, making them unusable.

This formula will determine the new ilvl for your crafted item.

By using a certain recipe for a base, a player could theoretically continue to craft a desired item over and over again, until they find a Crafted Item with the pre-set and random mods they want.

For instance, a Blood Amulet requires a magical amulet, any jewel, a perfect ruby, and an Amn rune.

A player could get five amulets, perfect Rubies, jewels, and Amns, and craft five different Blood Amulets; they would all have the same range of fixed mods, and different random ones, and the player could take his or her pick out of the results.

Although no differences have been made from Patch 1.09 to the current Patch 1.13, those few players not updated to the latest patch may find Crafted Item recipes quite different than those listed.
