Can someone explain Ilvl?

Thank you

The horadric cube is hardcoded to have the max ilvl of its outputs & inputs capped at 99. So if you input an ilvl120 item the game downgrades it to 99 first, then runs your recipe. So basically if you want an ilvl99 sacred rare - you either have to have it drop already rare in terror chaos sanctuary +, or reroll it with a destruction dragon recipe.

The game also caps ilvl of any item above 99 down to 99 when you save the character.

I hope I'm not missing something. When I tested using plugy, items stayed ilvl 99 when I cubed them with a rune and an oil of crafting as soon as the item dropped.

Also, does ilvl 99 matter for jewels?

Yes, a 99 can be jewel crafted 6 times and always return max number of modifiers. I think a 120 can be cubed 7 times.
