Items that theoretically could be the best in slot but would require massive repeats of crafting to get.

There is also the possibility of “chase” items. These use cases favor recipes that either have preset mods you can’t normally get on a rare of that item type (Blood Gloves, Blood Belts, Hitpower Gloves), or recipes where you can stack a valuable preset mod with a naturally occurring affix (e.g. Caster Amulets) or “good enough gear” to support your character during end game while farming for the more perfect gear. Instead, the most commonly used crafted items recipes are to create either end game gear (e.g. Adding a cube recipe that upgrades crafted items, or just allowing the rare upgrade recipe to apply to crafted items might go a long way towards opening up the use of crafted items at lower levels. Effects that can make a difference to some specific builds during leveling.Īnother aspect that limits use of crafted items during play through is the inability to upgrade the items to their exceptional or elite forms after crafting. Examples include Blood Gloves with Crushing Blow, or Caster Belts with Faster Cast. Exceptions are recipes that provide very useful leveling affixes in the preset mods.

Primarily because you pass through levels too quickly to get a lot of use out of them before they are surpassed by higher affixes, and so players generally prefer to wait until high enough level to craft items with the best affixes, and then maybe use some of the lower level results for leveling other characters.
