I'm asking specifically for javazon, but I don't know what makes any crafted gear good for any build, especially since I can never find examples.
Abandoned Shrine for 8% DEX, then bless it (shrine + item + 2 arcane crystals) and hope for another 8% DEX. Boots or gloves are weak earlygame and therefore good craft slots.
Rare/craft boots have poor affixes, so you should use the rare downlevel recipe (item + rare amulet & ring) to set them to ilevel 1 and give you more space for MOs. You only really care about the 16% DEX on boots. Gloves can spawn with +1 Amazon skills and a couple of other useful things.
For a weapon you will better off with
Herfjotur
Herfjotur
Amazon Javelins
'BerOrt'
Runeword Level: 78
Ring Of Flames Gains +1% Total Damage per Character Level
5% Chance to cast level 1 Timefield on Kill
2% Chance to cast level 19 Ring of Flames on Striking
+(1 to 2) to Amazon Skill Levels
+(60 to 80) to Maximum Damage
+(15 to 20)% to Fire Spell Damage
-(25 to 30)% to Enemy Fire Resistance
+(141 to 171)% Enhanced Damage
(3 to 5)% Chance of Crushing Blow
Slow Target 25%
+(40 to 60) to Energy
Lightning Resist +30%
since worthwhile weapon crafts can take forever and they're probably not very good now anyway.
