1.How does the game determine the level requirement of a crafted item?
2.In cubemain.txt there are two columns called plvl and ilvl. As I recall they are the percentage of crafter's and item's level to be used for ilvl of the new item. Is that right?

Thanks in advance.

*bump*

If anyone knows, please share...I've tried every combination I can think of for the level, ilevel and plevel columns in cubemain.txt and always end up with these atrociously high-level items. I have specific plans that would be made much easier if I could create crafted items at more reasonable levels.

Anyone? Anyone?

Ok, I'm bumping this one more time...should I assume the lack of response means that none of us have a clue at all...or that this is a hardcoding/.dll issue?

Thanks, jbouley. I think someone has a clue, because I found an old thread where it was discussed, but I wasn't sure about the formula. I think it involved adding 3 to the level requirement for each preset mod, but again, I'm not sure, so... I'll go search again.

Okay, found explanation of the columns. There are three, lvl, plvl, ilvl.

If lvl and ilvl are defined, the levels of the magic mods on the item will be between lvl and ilvl.
If only plvl is defined, then the max lvl for magic mods is plvl% of player's level. No minimum.
If plvl and ilvl are defined, then plvl% of the player's level is minimum, and ilvl is maximum.

On the level requirements, I found that they are the requirement for the highest mod on the item, PLUS 3 for each random mod. Crazy, isn't it?

Just read your post again...does that all have to do ONLY with the level of the mods on the item?

MY concern was that the actualy level requirement for the item is atrociously high...and I want to have special crafted items that are usable by characters whose levels are in the 20s or 30s...whereas I keep getting level requirements of 60 or...much more often...80 or 90.

Is that addressed in your post above? Did I misunderstand something? Or is the level requirement for the item still something only vaguely understood and hardcoded?

Sorry if I'm muddying the waters, so to speak.
