Long story short, I usually do stick to our GG crafting guide
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=30598890and, even if I have an overall understanding on how the math works, I never went to deep on it since... Internet meta copy pasta, standard craft etc (that's on me, mbad).
Now, I want to start doing a "niche" craft: maek gloves. even if they are on very low demand, they are also utterly rare to find so I figured out it would be cool to be an hipster and work on those.
Let's quote from the guide:
Quote (Quorra)
Random Affixes (desired, unwanted)
(P) "Cobalt/Garnet/Coral/Jade" (level 18, levelreq 13, group 117/118/119/120): Cold/Fire/Lightning/Poison Resist +21-30 %
(P) "Bowyer's/Gymnastic/Spearmaiden's" (level 40, levelreq 30, group 125): +2 to Bow and Crossbow/Passive and Magic/Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)
(S) "of Alacrity" (level 43, levelreq 35, group 7): +20 % IAS
(S) "of Precision" (level 56, levelreq 48, group 17): +10-15 to Dexterity
(S) "of the Giant" (level 59, levelreq 51, group 31): +10-15 to Strength
(S) "of Weaken" (level 24, levelreq 24, group 44): Level 5 Weaken charges
.
.
.
(S) "of Power Strike" (level 55, levelreq 47, group 44): Level 4 Power Strike charges
(S) "of Multiple Shot" (level 63, levelreq 55, group 44): Level 4 Multiple Shot charges
(S) "of Charged Strike" (level 68, levelreq 60, group 44): Level 3 Charged Strike charges
.
.
.
(S) "of Freezing Arrow" (level 94, levelreq 86, group 44): Level 2 Freezing Arrow charges
Note that we cannot rule out the 6 charged suffixes with level < 59, because we want a chance to hit the suffix, "of the Giant". But we will try to freeze out as many of the 7 higher charged suffixes as possible. The charged suffixes available on gloves are basically useless and the highest ones increase the rlvl a LOT. You will probably not be pleased with your 'kick-ass' crafted gloves if they require level 98.
Looking at the above values, our initial target alvl would be at least 59 and at most 62.
Do note that all this points stand true for my craft as well.
Then, since Leather gloves are not taken in consideration by Quorra, couz there is no plan to do crafted caster gloves, the closest item we have on the topic are chain gloves for hit power recipe, quoting again:
Quote (Quorra)
Chain Glovesmax{Ilvl,12} < 99 - int(12/2) = 93 <=> Ilvl < 93. Suppose this is the case. From (2), 58 < max{Ilvl,12} - 6 < 63 <=> 64 < Ilvl < 69. Notice the problem here; Ilvls 51-70: 4 affixes (20 %), 3 affixes (80 %). Only every 5th pair of gloves would get 4 affixes, on average. Since we want 4 affixes, we have to compromise. Ilvl 71-73 (alvl 65-67) would guarantee 4 affixes and still eliminate 6 of the 7 higher charged suffixes (only "of Multiple Shot" has 59 < level < 68). Plugging this into the Ilvl formula,
70 < int(clvl/2) + int(ilvl/2) < 74
Similar to the restriction imposed on the
Rings, but now the Ilvl range is thrice as narrow. If we gamble, ilvl = clvl - 5 yields 73 < clvl < 77, whereas ilvl = clvl + 4 yields 69 < clvl < 72. No single clvl is able to cover both extremes. But we have another option:
Shopping. This would fix the ilvl at clvl + 5 and hence,
Code
70 < int(clvl/2) + int((clvl + 5)/2) < 74
from which 68 < clvl < 72. Use the NPC Shopping Calculator to get a suitable vendor selling
Chain Gloves.
My problem is that Leather Gloves are ilvl3, not 12. Everything else set by Quorra still stand true, since I would like to work under the premise that, as he wrote: for Chain Gloves:"we want 4 affixes, we have to compromise. Ilvl 71-73 (alvl 65-67) would guarantee 4 affixes and still eliminate 6 of the 7 higher charged suffixes (only "of Multiple Shot" has 59 < level < 68)".
If someone can help me on the solution, I would love him and tip for the help, thx!
