Diablo 2 Resurrected - Crafting Guide and Best Recipes

[@NicholsPCS]

Great content. As one of many returning D2 players, I appreciate the in-depth knowledge here. When I was 12, I didn't touch crafting or runewords. Now I see why nightmare and hell were a sh!tshow for me!

[@jotuthegamingguru8809]

In the same boat! Having this knowledge my second time around I can actually clear the game as when I was 12 and clueless lmao

[@beefnacos6258]

You're still going to get dog walked in hell lol. Unless you have lots of high runes which I doubt you have yet.

[@beefnacos6258]

@@jotuthegamingguru8809 Thing is... most people were clueless. Diablo 2 was actually a pretty cryptic game.....people had to find out every single recipe! There was no guide.....Now that the game is so old and so many people have figured out the recipes that information is public to everyone. That's what made the game so fun....I am playing the new one but it can never be like the way it was. Being a clueless noob in games is what actually makes it fun.

[@NicholsPCS]

@@beefnacos6258 true story! I started hell last night, and I'll be damned it is tough lol

[@beefnacos6258]

@@NicholsPCS yessir. Also to the people that are thinking about crafting don't even do it right now. Unless you are like level 94 plus and in hell I wouldn't even waste my time crafting. Maybe 91 I forget the exact number you need to be at but I know it's up there

[@chrono2959]

I found that if you plan on playing multiple characters pick one and run it up to level 70 give or take 10 levels and by the time you hit said level with that one character you will have everything you need in hand-me-downs alone to help your next startup character plus you have access to a perfect gems full potions of rejuvenation ect, everything you need.

[@marbles9420]

I dunno why I found it funny when you rolled the lowest number every time. Thanks for the laugh + information brotha

[@AbsolutelyCasual]

Hell yeah I'm definitely going to be trying this out, I haven't played Diablo 2 for the past 15 years until resurrected just came out, I already have about five of each perfect gym at the end of normal mode on my first character, and so far I've literally saved every single Jewel I've picked up I probably have close to 20 of them so I should have no shortage of things to craft, back in Middle School when I last played the internet wasn't as previlant as it is now and guides were really hard to come by, and if you did they were in text format , KZbin wasn't even around back then so I never really got into runewords or using my cube for anything other than storage, using it to upgrade runes and gems alone is so useful

[@callofgeorge]

awesome video. i would love to see another one that quickly goes over all the cube recipes or the more uncommon ones like the crafting you covered here, unsocketing, re-rolling GCs, upgrading uniques, etc.. but the biggest suggestion i would make is, please make timestamps in the descriptions, so when I'm alt-tabbing to find a recipe i don't have to scroll through the video to find the recipe i need lol.. thanks again for taking the time to make these.

[@c4master703]

For any blocking Character, I believe that the safety amulet is one of the best crafting options. It can roll up to 10% block rate which saves you about 20-30 DeX depending on your level and your shield block%. I really think this is better than any blood amulet and it's also better than the caster amulets unless you need the extra fcr for the next break point. Also, like others already mentioned, blood gloves are super amazing thanks to 5-10% crushing blow. And finally, I want to point out that any blood or hot power weapons can get up to 450%ED along with 20% IAS and other nice mods. It's still worse than those super hot rune words and these never-to-find ethereal rares with selfrep, but it should suffice as an end game weapon.

[@vSwaGGerMoDz]

Yeah that’s pretty sick

[@budhasachofmann1901]

Played D2 years now and i think this is my first time crafting. Great video thanks

[@nightowl8363]

2 weeks ago, i had a bunch of blood materials and went to roll a few gloves. On my 1st try, i rolled a 20 IAS, 3 LL, 10 CB Sharkskin gloves with 14 life, 17 lit resist, 24 poison resist.. Been using them ever since

[@robe.2424]

Your channel is amazing man. Thanks for this video and all of your awesome guides! Some of these things my cousin didn't even know and he had been playing this for a decade (The original) and we're playing resurrected. It's incredible how much a game can be played and still somehow miss things lmao.

[@1lill0l]

Nice video! I was searching for a way to increase my merc's survivability in Hell (not having access to lifesteal sets/unqiues yet) and the blood helm did it! Finally my desert guy doesn't need constant potion feeding any longer :)

[@AChrivia]

I've definitely made my barbarian as strong or stronger than casters. I've played this on and off for 2 decades but this is one of the few things I've gotten into. Btw, 33 days from starting day of resurrected to make an enigma, 7 days for the first Botd, 14 for my first fortitude, found all my gear on my own, no trading and I don't use casters due to my lack of dexterity and control with my hand and arm now from excessive nerve damage unfortunately. If your curious about how I achieved all that, message me and I can easily tell you how I did all that with nothing other than a barb.

[@DevinDTV]

Good video. The one detail you didn't mention that I had to look up is that hitpower gloves can get up to +2 skills for the trees you listed.

[@yorkshirelad3133]

not sure if it falls under the same category but re-rolling items in the cube is a big one, everybody should be keeping those grand charms dropped from either diablo, baal or nilly, these ones in particular can roll a skill along side 45 life, all you need is 3 random perfect gems, and you can roll the same charm as many times as you want

[@LordKuam]

You make some great points in the video, and the amount of people in the comments that can't differentiate between low level and high level and just complain about "lEvEl 7X iS lOw LeVel?" just blows my mind. You spoon feed people some complex D2 mechanics and they still can't figure out how to get the spoon in their mouth.

[@MrPabloChang]

thank u for this! I stopped playing before they introduced this crafting stuff, so this was helpful!

[@korchannjoe5831]

Thanks for this guide man exactly what ive been looking for, going to craft some masks and belts right now :) Subscribed and cant wait for more content...

[@WhiteHazee]

Well done. But i think blood gloves should have his place. 5-10% crushing blows is pretty good.

[@robmiester]

I too was hoping my favorite recipe would be included. 10 crushing blow 20 ias 2 to jav with mana leech maybe fire res I mean holy cannoli

[@TheZachatree]

If you have a lot of emeralds or sapphires, crafting boots always is a good way to burn them up. Regardless of the fixed stats, you always have odds at rolling tri res boots. Safety boots have fire res fixed so it’s possible the get all four res on these.

[@mmatss]

12:30 more like ”thats the thing with D2 you never know whats going to roll”. Great summary on crafting, thanks.

[@rswannyable]

Thank you for this guide, really nice you explained about any level gem etc. I'm a crafting noob at the moment.

[@brownstuff42]

Blood gloves! 5-10% crushing blow! Super important to know!

[@lordofnothing7398]

Yeah, surprised it's not in the video, it's imo among the best gloves for melee chars (with laying on hands and dracul's, which are far harder to make). And it can be gg with some +assassin skills and attack speed, for kickers it's great

[@mikecupples1234]

Best d2 content out there, Not long winded or non applicable like some content out there. Love it bud

[@snowdawn]

I enjoyed your stream yesterday. It was fun. I will save this video reference when I get serious crafting. Great guide.

[@johndeere2525]

Explanations I've read for gambling ilvl is items roll between your clevel and 3 levels lower, meaning you need a level 93 char to guarantee rolling an ilvl of 90 or higher (90~93 roll chance), which is required for the highest mods (+2 skills) to roll.

[@versacefish6383]

Personally like your channel the best out of all creators - keep up the work

[@RatBagDad]

Yeah I thought it was pretty good. Background music is a bit high but I wouldn't sleep on that staying 'til end game.

[@dave-kt7sj]

Safety amulets provide up to 10% block. Every 1% block is 5.5 dexterity for a max block character, so this amulet can save you 55 dexterity on a max block character. The MDR/PDR is pretty tiny, but every little bit helps.

[@HanCholo112]

Does life and mana on hit work with your spells like fireball or only physical strikes?

[@dustinim7050]

only physical

[@freedonx]

good quesiton I also wanted to know!

[@Zerashadow]

on hit only works with a physical attack like melee or bow/throw attack, but mana after kill works with spells as well unless you are trapssassin, coz then it seems it does not count as you killing the mob when a trap does.

[@beefnacos6258]

no dude it doesn't work with magic.

[@SuperDonny21]

Great guide, this has helped me a lot. I finally have some way to get rid of the pgems and the ton of runes in my stash now, thanks.

[@tauriqabdullah6130]

Best use for pgems is to reroll grand charms until it rolls a + to skill. Crafted items like this are for niche cases.

[@SuperDonny21]

For sorc? Lore helmet.. easy. And spirit sword

[@ilyasnopchenko2886]

Blood gear all the way, especially gloves! I've crafted probably dozens of these and got some great pieces but sadly none that has attack speed, mana leech and +2 passive/magic skills all at once. 2 of these, sure, but not all 3 at once LOL. WILL keep on trying, so Nef runes will be pretty valuable for a while LOL.

[@Sophie2570]

12:52 What level do you have to be to get 2 to character skills?

[@johnbun5083]

I've always found that Mana leech was pointless at anything lower than 30, so I've always used Tir runes in socket items, so i can get that 2 mana per kill. ESP for tomb runs. because regardless of the skeletons or not. you'll always get mana back.

Question. I have a pair of blue boots, "Ruby Wyrmhide Boots of Luck" that give me Fire Resist 38% and 31% magic find. If I craft these with a perfect ruby or whatever else, will I lose the fire resist and magic find? Thank you.

[@TheNodray]

You can create a close if not the best necro wand in the game with caster recepie on it. It can row with 2 necro skills + up to 3 points in 2-3 other skills + much more. I had made such wand.

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

If you get a 2os wand with +3 to Summon Skeleton at minimum, you can do Dol+Io (White) and get a budget wand that can EASILY help your summons get through hell. I crushed Ubers with such a wand while the rest of my gear was pretty okay. My summons were beefy when kitted out with skillers.

[@invictusnictus7725]

[@ohshietitsandy]

So do you need to make sure the certain item drops from a high level area? For example, if I wanna craft a caster amulet, should I make sure I use a magical amulet that does from a level 85 area and also be high enough level?

[@SweetPhil]

The best way is to gamble amulets with a high level character. The amulet will be within 3 levels I believe of your character level up or down. So if your level 93 all amulets will be over the level 90 that they need to be to get 2 to character skills.

[@EnglishTeacher505]

I like to start the season with a summon necro. He can do Hell with weak gear. Get some gear. Give that gear to a sorc and use sorc to MF for other chars. Usually make barb, my fave class, next.

Does rolling items stack with its currents stats? You said if a caster amuleg had 10 cfr and you reroll it it can have 20 fcr. So stats do stack?

[@abouttime2569]

No. Crafting is just purely rerolling stats. Stats from base does not matter at all.

[@abouttime2569]

Nevermind i misunderstood you. Yes it can go up to 20% fcr because it can roll up to 10% from the craft stat and 10% from the amulet stats.

[@Chris-Cornell]

It would be nice if the hell version items were buffed up some. Other than rings and ammy's, most of the crafted items are useless. Could be cool if the stats rolled got buffed up by the item base. Normal items would not have a buff. Nightmare based items would get 25% buffed. And Hell items crafted would get a 50-75% buff on the stats rolled. I think this would be nice for that endgame treasure hunt for GG op gear. Like the rings and amulets all ready are.
