question regarding shrine crafting and magic sacred items ?

But there is still a way. First, use the affix burn recipe to turn the magic item in a normal item. Reroll until it has 0 sockets, then go to charsi and upgrade it to rare as a quest reward.

you can only do that 3 times per character though, so use it wisely!

also, the item lvl output (ilvl) depends on your character level. the recipe is:

character level + 4 = ilvl from imbue

I dont believe this has any affect once you touch a shrine to it. A craft can still roll Lv 90 and if it's for your merc you prolly ilvl 1 it anyway.

:whatthe: higher ilvl unlocks more affixes it can roll, why would you zomg merc gear?

For MO room. I see no reason not to zomg merc crafts. And there's times like has been said that you would even zomg ur own gear.

zomg is good for boots for casters because boots don't roll spell damage or pierce.

Depends on the caster. Necro for example can get +2 sk on boots.

@ibagbrown honestly, I only use that cube recipe in very specific cases, but most of the time it‘s better to just go with the better affixes of a ilvl 99 item.
