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!

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 , KZfaq 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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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...

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.

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

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

Great guide - love your content Sweet P! Keep up the great work !

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

OMG! Thanks for this video man! Been stuck at nightmare with normal gear. So helpful and just what i need :) Subd

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.

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

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

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.

Thank you. Very useful Information. Question on base helms etc, can they be slotted or not with these recipes?

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.

This helped me out with my sorceress. Do you have any rune combination videos?

Thanks man! Good stuff here

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

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

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

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

Solid vid! very helpful. thanks

Thanks for awesome videos man 😄👍

@Sweet Phil what's the build you're using to kill Hell Countess on your sorc? I am currently Cold but I can't respec so I am boned. Thinking of making an orb/light sorc but not sure if that's a dumb move.

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!

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.

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.

Good stuff. Any suggestions on how to craft lld 12, 15, 18 gear ?

You are sweet Phil! Thanks!

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.

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.

So what level is required to roll one of those juicy GG caster ammy’s? Like a 2/20 with some solid stats? I have a 91 sorc. Do I need to be higher?

He gets me everytime with that "keep slaying" so unexpected lol!

from these, it looks like the useful gems are the ones shown, but what use are the other gems? are they useless in crafting?

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?

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.

Thanks for this 💪🏻

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?

Blood Gloves? life, life steal, crushing blow, possibility of IAS. Not sure if it can roll other than amazon skills, but a paladin combat skill one is pretty nice for a smiter too if its possible.

Very good guide. Keep it up :)

Thanks Phil!

This helps greatly. Is there a site that has all the recipes? That way I can copy them down.

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.

Finally got two lvl93 crafting characters… now to cry at all the craft fails

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

Dope video . Can we some skillet farm locations?

This is late I know, but best place for gems is from the caskets and tombs in ground on the way to kill and Andariel end act1. If anyone see this and needs chipped gems for rune crafting and stuff.

Man you are my go to in Diablo

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.

Thanks for this vid I had no idea this existed

What to craft for a level 26 necrosummoner? I felt weak against Diablo in Act IV.

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

Thank you for content.

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?

About mana/life leech, do you need to physically hit the mob or does it count casting spells?

For me i like crafting ias gloves, fcr gloves and fcr amulets, all of em sell for quite a lot

The way you talk is soothing. I could listen for long grinds and never get tired. Also learn a thing or two.

Can you only craft items purchased from act 1 vendors?

Thanks man. 🤘

is this only char level or does the item lvl matter also ?

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

How do I switch difficulty i don't see a single option that let's me switch besides that 1 thru 8 player difficulty in offline

Świetny materiał, dzięki.

Quick question. Do u need to complete act5 (become slayer) to do this or can u do this as soon as u get cube on act 2 ? (Me and my friend needs to try this) 👍 Ps. Imma save this video and try the crafting today. I found demonhide gloves yesterday 👍

Blood gloves deserved a highlight here for sure...

Rare occasion countess doesn’t drop runes. Right.

Where / which website he got screen's hits of those recipes?

Is it worth farming there Countess on Normal as a Sorceress to get Tir + Ral? (This is my first character on D2)

What should I be crafting as a trap assassin? Level 70+. Thanks

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.

Found GUL rune yesterday from countess minion :)

Arachnids mesh is the one i found pretty fast:P so lucky :P

Safety recipes, especially safety amulet would've been great to talk about

any good crafting items for sorc? thanks

Gems and jewels actually are best farmed fro chaos and arcane. Cows are a good place too, but run some arcane and chaos and you’ll quickly realize that there is indeed a best place to farm them.

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?

Thanks for sharing

Do you have to be a minimum level to craft these items? Playing on PS4.

Noobish question perhaps. But im playing bowazon (frost arrows) and just entered nightmare. Is it attack speed or cast speed i should aim for? Been going attackspeed But hording all caster speed in stash

great fucking video super helpful and informative in such a nice format

I planed go for hammer paladin build.Every hit of that hammer skill count as a hit or not? Life stolen on hit will work?

great vid! part 2?

so crafted items don't have the orange color anymore?

I'm totally new to d2r, May I ask what is that skill of your merc? That smoke thing, I'm on normal act 5 but never seen that skill of act 2 merc

Does yellow jewel count? Or are they useless?

Mana after kill can really help early on...gloves are level 77 required LoL...

I crafted 20 IAS 10 CB dual resist gloves on my Zealot!!

When doing these recipes, do they keep the existing stats bonuses on the item and add new, or overwrite?

Very awesome video friend

Nice vid!

Hey... where is the caster ring?
