Crafting Caster Boots

[Vash]

However, for calculating what affixes are possible on an item, you also have to take into account the qlvl.  This number is the same for all items of a given type.  For example, all boots (regardless of what stats they have and who found them where) have qlvl 3, all demonhide boots have qlvl 36 and all wyrmhide boots have qlvl 60.

If you gamble at clvl 81, the worst case ilvl would be 76.  If you craft with the same character, the crafted item's ilvl will be 78.

However, it turns out that all three kinds of boots will still have an alvl high enough to allow the greatest resistance affix on boots: up to 40% to a single resist.  So you were just unlucky.

Thanks for your reply.

What is qlvl? What is alvl?

Why would the ilvl of the boots go from 76 to 78 upon crafting?
