Crafted item level requirements in 1.10

[Brista]

I can't seem to be able to find crafted item level formula anywhere

It's here:

Crafting has had an odd history. I really liked it in 1.08. They then apparently decided it was over-powered for the availability and removed the greater crafts and the class crafts.

As for the formula for calculating affix levels I find it utterly bizarre that you are more likely to get Godly or Cruel on Hand Axes or Boots than you are on Tomahawks or Wyrmhide Boots. This is because the better the base item the more it gets penalised with regards to the affixes that can show up. That has to be the wrong way round, doesn't it? :blink: :blink: :unsure: :unsure:

Incidentally, has anyone tried upgrading a craft with the rares upgrade formula? It might not work of course but crafts are counted as rares for some purposes. If it did work then the way to get a Cruel might be to craft a Large Axe for instance with your highest level character then upgrade
