[@jamesbrown1156]

Great explanation, thank you for making this and providing such a comprehensive resource!

[@To3To3To3]

Incredibly useful video, thank you for going so in-depth.

[@MacroBioBoi]

My absolute pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BTNeanderthal]

Nice Explanation! I learned a couple things :)

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thx homie!

[@h.l.malazan5782]

It would help a lot to know what is going on in most of the video if I know what is considered a prefix and what is considered an affix... Diablo 2 Wiki does not teach that.

[@kipz]

@@h.l.malazan5782 yes it does lol

[@JRittelmeyer]

Great stuff, brother! This is choice!

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thx homie, glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevennagy6603]

Very epic video bro. Great great info.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thank you for this energy.

[@streak0r]

very good video, all that is missing for me is a real life example. Where you take an item and craft and explain what is possible and why that is.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thanks. That's a good idea.

[@Enderald]

thanks for the video

[@dingus9662]

oh thx for explaining what an affix lvl is for :D

[@azuraborelias4995]

It definitely works with -3/+5 cold facets, accidently tried it today xD

[@BurgerFlips]

wow thank you!

[@MacroBioBoi]

Np fam

[@sweetjp8633]

good video

[@MyNemesisIX]

Do you know if something happened to the affix list you showed us? cuz the link is dead -.-

[@jeremieherbette2939]

So actually, in order to max Alvl + Ilvl, the best would be to use normal bases but dropped from hell right ? (i.e: boots (qlvl3) from hell (ilvl80+ depending on area). right ?

[@MacroBioBoi]

That's gives access to the most affixes, which might be good or bad, depending on what you want

[@kingnanaki8227]

With all the shit I did in vanilla I never crafted... Question: Say you have a base, take a set of +2 bow gloves, when you then craft them does the +2 bow stay? Or is it gone? And, if it goes is it possible to get those rolls on it? Thanks.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Yes they're gone, yes you can get them again

[@alexonishencko1568]

Can crafted eth weapons still roll self repair in season 3 or is zod rune required for these eth gg weapons? So to clarify.. a "gg" let's say 2h sword would be, crafted eth col blade that rolled self repair (with gg stats) > slammed > socketed with puzzle box? What about eth uniques such as eth death cleaver... what would i do with this to make it gg? ty in advance

[@MacroBioBoi]

Crafted weapons can roll repairs durability.

[@LatzeH]

Pretty good video, but it would really benefit from a better microphone and a bit lowered music

[@SSJayLordSama]

What level do you recommend crafting throwing weapons?

[@MacroBioBoi]

It really depends on what base and affixes you're looking for. I'm assuming the answer is max damage and for that you want an alvl just at or above the highest alvl needed for the 3 highest +damage affixes.

[@MacroBioBoi]

Remember you can only have 1 from each group, and a maximum of 3 affixes. It's somewhere around alvl 66 if I'm not mistaken. So as long as 1/2 your level + 1/2 the I'll of the base = 66 you should be good.

[@denizbircan5894]

Hi Anyone can get over in diablo II what best level is to get the highest value of each crafting in blood, hitpower, caster, and safety? what best result on character level and what best result in dropped from and which item can you only get from merchants and dropped, i would really appreciate this and really need guide for this or a video to simply show each one

[@Goondius]

Wait so I am kind of confused does the blood weapon craft also work for javelins now? Or rather did it use to?

[@MacroBioBoi]

In Project Diablo it does

[@Goondius]

@@MacroBioBoi ah ok now I understand the title. Still a very informative video even if not all things apply for me.

[@MacroBioBoi]

@@Goondius thx, I'm glad it can help!

[@invincible0522]

What would character lvl and ilvl need to be for caster items for sorc? still the 92 and 88?

[@MacroBioBoi]

For an amulet? Yes minimum of 92/88 for iLVL/cLVL. Doesn't matter which is which.

[@invincible0522]

@@MacroBioBoi Could you do 90/90 then as well?

[@MacroBioBoi]

@@invincible0522 yep!

[@benjaminstoll3204]

Hi, what Char lvl is needed for crafting GMB?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Depends on what you want, and the ilvl of the bow when it dropped.

[@benjaminstoll3204]

@@MacroBioBoi i play plugy and want to craft the best bow ever :-) with high ed and ncie mods. i dropped a Ceremonial bow from Blood Moon Boss

[@awnrey2804]

Great video, no need for music. Can barely hear you over it.

[@tatebarnum731]

can u only upgrade crafted items online? single player wont work?

[@MacroBioBoi]

This works in Single player as well, only in Project Diablo 2.

[@alishaburgfeld8099]

Two of these websites aren't working, any fixes?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Sadly no, they just went down.

[@yanvigneault3802]

could i get amp damage on a ammy ? XD on a vampiric craft ?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Amp damage isn't an affix you can get from crafting sadly

[@Cmgenterprises]

why dont any of these links work anymore?

[@MacroBioBoi]

The websites went down :(

[@mba2ceo]

crafting should retain previous MODS - like corruption

[@kipz]

do you know of an alternative to the website you used? it's down and the archived version isnt working i used that site all the time

[@MacroBioBoi]

I've been looking but haven't found one yet :(

[@RIGHTTitan]

@@MacroBioBoi Check this one out... looks like they moved it to this page: diablo-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Affixes_(Diablo_II)

[@liamtjarnlund1023]

the menu music always made me stressed

[@MacroBioBoi]

I'm sorry to cause you stress :(

[@lolexx3]

i highly suggest toning down music or removing it.

[@MacroBioBoi]

I appreciate your feedback.

[@mndkv2747]

What means Diablo Vanilla tf?

[@MacroBioBoi]

This crafting guide works for Diablo 2 and the mod Project Diablo 2. Also there's a remaster now so the current Diablo 2 becomes "vanilla" in coin video game culture speech.

[@TxcNtr]

hmmmm...... could be made easier and smaller........

[@MacroBioBoi]

Did what I could with time stamps
