Rerolling Charms

[Ruvanal]

All,

OK why is it that shimmering on a small charm can only appear (on 3 perfects plus magic re-roll) if the monster dropping it is level 47, even tho the affix is a level 33 affix? And yet for a grand charm with +1 skills, I can re-roll it with the monster dropping it is level 50, even tho the affix level is also 50? Whats up with that?

This will list the main formulas that are used to determine the level of the affixes for an item.

For the first part (cube ilvl calculation) the 3 perfect gem reroll uses these parameters; lvl=0, plvl=0, ilvl=100. This means that this formula will end up being ilvl_new=ilvl_old.

For the second part of the calculations you will need to know some of the stats of items.
misc items

Code:

qlvl    name
1    amulet
1    ring
28    Small Charms
14    Large Charms
1    Grand Charms
1    Jewel

If you carefully step through the formula you will find that with a qlvl=28 item (small charm) and an ilvl of 47; you will end up with an alvl of 33 for the item.

Now if you use qlvl=1 instead and step though the formula, you will end up with a different result. If you study what the formula is doing at qlvl=1, it can be seen that for these types of items alvl=ilvl (which does not end up working for any other qlvl).

A full spreadsheet of the alvls resulting from the different qlvls and ilvls can be found here.

Also, that page (linked above) that does the affix calculation shows that a GC can only have 12% resist all, but I'm sure I've seen a 14% resist all GC.

Yes the calculator does have an error in the res-all affixes for grand charms.
pre=317, minAlvl=8, maxAlvl=13 (stops displaying at level 12 instead of 13 as it should), reqlvl=6, res-all min=3 max=6.

pre=318, minAlvl=14, maxAlvl=34 (maxAlvl is missing from the data entirely), reqlvl=10, res-all min=8 max=12 (yes there is a gap at res-all 7)

pre=319, minAlvl=35, maxAlvl=none, reqlvl=27, res-all min=13 max=15. (this affix is missing entirely)

Edit: I just saw dectgaps reply from the same time as I was writing this. The prefix information I pulled is from the current patch file, not 1.08.
