I don't know the answer, but you can use the speed calculator to check what are the FCR breakpoints, if you haven't already.

click on Tools in the menu, and fill the info in the speed calc.


I see, thank you, didn't know about that handy tool :D

EDIT: apparently it's 187% FCR to get max FCR as a Sorceress with Staff, wish people would include that in their guides since a lot of that info is nowhere to be found, except for in these tools it seems.

? I don't want to accidentally create a Locust Hive from my Hanabigami.


What's the azmodan's heart recipe?

EDIT: Yea, i just lived through a whole duration of shadow avatar, the crystal ball was NOT cold immune, and it was NOT damaged. Great..


I don't know why but it sometimes was immortal for me. Normally when it has magic resistance no spell could damage it, sometimes even without that modifier. And when it had physical immunity as a bonus modifier it was completely unkillable. Took me many runs to get the trophy...

Ilvl does matter, but u can use any blue jewel upgrade it to rare (oil of enhancement + rune) an than roll it once with dragon egg in d for Ilvl99 (same for any rare jewel you find in terror)

Much easier will be to run fast k3k )
Every time you craft a Jewel, its item level is reduced by 5%, rounded up and capped at 1 and 99.

For best effect only 5 crafts per jewel max

Just gamble one, easiest way.

Terror Act 4 chaos sanctuary already drops 100 ilvl.

99 * 0,95 = 94,05 *0,95 = 89,35

2 times = 89,35
3 times=84,88
4 times= 80,64
5 times = 76,60
6 times = 72,77

"Item level 71+: 100% chance of 4 affixes." Maximum effect is 6 crafts per Jewel.
