[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@oldsloppy69]

Pro tip, best way to get Perf gems. Take your flawless and spam normal stoney field, best spot for Gem Shrine. Free upgrades.

[@Krulm4n]

Also keep a flawless version of the gem you need most on you while running. Especially meph runs as the shrine on the way in rolls gem every 10-20 runs.

[@mildlifeisatrisk5727]

Ya, I kinda do that too, like coming back to Nightmare where I can rule the world, set difficulty to 7 and cube the nuts out of it

[@Xparkman30]

Chipped drop so damn often you can just cube up to perfects all day and still be drowning in gem mules filled with chipped gems

same if you running LK for high runes. eventually youll come across a few gem shrines.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@loganbaskett8541]

Yo phil man just started d2 recently after 20 years ish and ive really dug your content brother. Im a hc poe player so going back feels like true roots. Thabks for the information and chill vibes.

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

[@mmatss]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@nathanielmayo4950]

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.

[@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

[@FartSmucker]

heavy gloves*for crushing blow* and the light belt recipes are always my go-to I remember getting with friends and we would trade and farm up p ammys and p rubies and nef/tir runes and go nuts on crafting somethings make silly bank. Its always good to note if you do the light belt one to gamble and grab at least the expectation version of it so you have max potion slots. You dont wanna roll a gg or near gg belt...but you have 8 pot slots.

[@Madmac87ify]

can't you upgrade it in the cube?

[@19Mephisto90]

@@Madmac87ify you only can upgrade uniques

[@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

[@profex85]

Thanks for this 💪🏻

[@krunkcleanup2949]

A great place to get Gems/Runes/Jewels is from doing the super chests in the Arcane Sanctuary. I like this way since you can do it while farming Keys of Hate. I even found a Ber Rune from a super chest there!

[@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.

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.

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.

[@AjuntaPall316]

On belts pay attention to the +4 potion slot. I wasted 2 perfect amethists on a belt that doesn't carry crap for potions.

[@bueller06]

Pretty sure you can use the cube recipe to "up" this item.

[@AlgorithmMockery]

Nice vid!

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@TheFos88]

Man thanks for this. I've played d2 for years on and off and surprisingly never got into crafting things (I know, I know). This time around I will but didn't really know where to start. So I guess the best time really to begin crafting things would be end game like sheet a normal run?

Ya some I would make as fast as I can to help myself along but not use late game and others can be amazing late game after a bunch of tries and some luck.

Noob question for Blood Helm: If the potential for the extra HP is 10 - 20 how did it roll +48? was the extra HP from the properties of the random jewel or the ruby used in the crafting?

As a firewall orb sorc none of these really helped me any. Runewords, nightmare andariel runs and some luck have been all I've really needed to move past the point of these.

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.

[@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.
