craft leveling

Once you've finished Act 4 and before attempting your ascent, it's the perfect time to do some leveling crafts. These are very simple, cheap and very useful. It is therefore always in your interest from this moment to have an additional modifier on your objects. Here's what you need to know:

• use your Crafting Bench to add an affix line to your item
• take level 1 crafts, costing almost nothing
• prioritize resistances, then damage
• each time you change equipment, put a craft on it again
• use level 2 and higher crafts for items that you will keep for a long time (linked 5-hole armor or weapon with good DPS for example)
• you can add a suffix or prefix, if the lines appear in red it means that you have the maximum number of suffix or / and prefix or even that you already have this type of affix (impossible to add speed d attack if this affix is ​​already present for example)
