It is a fixed value for each one.
When you create an item (see my guide for more detailed info), the item is given an item creation level (ilvl). Now, when picking the base item, it will basically make alist of all base items that are (for Grisowld) in the range of ilvl/4 to ilvl, that is who's quality level is in that range. Then pick one at random. When picking affixes, it will make another list (seperate for prefix and suffix) of all that has a quality level in the range of ilvl/2 to ilvl and that can appear on the picked base item type. It then pick one of those at random.
My guide actually has a very complete and exact step by step procedure for how the item is generated, try following it again and see that it works like I said here.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
