Alright guys, farming Viz-jun is pretty boring, that's the best i got. should i try more to get a near perfect one ?
why am i asking ? because i have the trophy and i don't want to cube it with a bad charm.

is it worth it ? thanks.

since youre a barb id try to go for higher vitality at the expense of energy on that charm. everything else is passable. if those vitality and energy values were switched then it would be fine.

I have a question about ilvl, alvl and qlvl. It somehow doesn't make sense imo. https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes (please refer to the calculator at the top page)

If I add an ilvl of 1 and a quality level of 72, I get an affix level of 45, which means only affixes that include 45 in its range can spawn.

However, that affix level won't change when the quality level stays 72, but the ilvl is changed to 70. So the ilvl has no effect on the affix level in that case.

What's strange now is that the alvl suddenly raises to 70 when I set back the quality level to 1.

So that would basically mean that a shitty pair of tier 1 gloves (qlvl 1) can spawn much better affixes than a shitty pair of tier 2 gloves (qlvl 13) if both had the same ilvl.

Can anyone confirm this please?

That's how it works in D2.

IIRC magic level is not used in MXL (always equal to zero).

Edit: Pseudocode.

Code: Select all

if (ilvl > 99)
    ilvl = 99
end

if (qlvl > ilvl)
    ilvl = qlvl (**)
end
   
if (magiclvl > 0)
    alvl = ilvl + magiclvl
else
    if ( ilvl < ( 99 - qlvl / 2 ) )
        alvl = ilvl - qlvl / 2
    else
        alvl = 2 * ilvl - 99
    end
end

if (alvl > 99)
    alvl = 99
end

* All calculations use integers so there are no fractions at any step.
** This new ilvl value is only used for the duration of this calculation.

Does +% physical/magic damage affect it?
Does +debuff/buff duration affect it?

It's not a type of damage, so the amount of damage you deal has nothing to do with it. It's simply a state, so to speak. Any weapon damage attack will apply the effect and it lasts for 8 seconds. It isn't affected by anything, but you can continuously re-apply it simply by continuously using weapon damage attacks.

physical/magic damage is spell damage, not weapon damage.
