Skull Prescription Question (Diablo 2)

Hello!
Rereading the topic "Money" on cl, the question arose whether I understand the situation with the generation of affixes correctly.
I will describe my question with a specific example.
Let's say I want to use the recipe 6 perfect skulls + 1 rare item -> 1 low level rare item to get a shield with the "+2 to Paladin Skill Levels" affix (Priest's). I'm primarily interested in the Bone Shield and Grim Shield bases.
The formula that determines the level of an item after the next brewing: ilvl = int (0.4 * clvl) + int (0.4 * ilvl)
The level of the affix "+2 Pal" on shields is 65 (affix_level = 65)

But alvl is not identical to ilvl. The relationship between these parameters is given by the following formula (taken from here):
If (mlvl> 0)
(1) alvl = max (qlvl, ilvl) + mlvl
Else if (max (ilvl, qlvl) <99 - [qlvl / 2])
(2) alvl = max (ilvl, qlvl) - [qlvl / 2]
Else
(3) alvl = 2 * max (ilvl, qlvl) - 99
For each item, its own alvl is calculated, and all affixes with affix_level <= alvl can appear on this item.

mlvl (magic level) = 0 in this case, and qlvl depends on the underlying thing. For Bone Shield qlvl = 19, for Grim Shield qlvl = 48
Let's say a level 90 character (clvl = 90) brews a rare Bone Shield dropped from Hell Diablo (ilvl = 90).
It turns out a shield with ilvl = int (0.4 * 90) + int (0.4 * 90) = 72.
Let's look at the formulas for alvl:
mlvl = 0, max (72, 19) = 72, 99 - [19/2] = 90, 72 <90 => we use the formula (2)
alvl = max (ilvl, qlvl) - [qlvl / 2] = 72 - 9 = 63
That is, "+2 Pal" (affix_level = 65) cannot drop even after the first brew.
For Grim Shield (qlvl = 48), things are even worse:
mlvl = 0, max (72, 48) = 72, 99 - [48/2] = 75, 72 <75 => alvl = 72 - [48/2] = 72 - 24 = 48 - similarly not enough for "+2 Pal"

If you try different clvl and qlvl, you can draw the following conclusions:
- It is impossible to cook a shield with "+2 Pal" from Exceptional shields with this recipe.
- For Normal shields, so that the "+2 Pal" affix can drop on a welded shield when brewing a rare shield dropped from Diablo (Hell), you need to do this with a character of a sufficiently high level, depending on the base of the shield:
Buckler - 73, Small Shield - 78, Large Shield - 85, Kite Shield - 90, Spiked Shield - 85, Bone Shield - 95 (Tower Shield - impossible).

Actually a question for knowledgeable people: are my calculations and conclusions correct, or is all this complete nonsense, and I don't understand anything?

Irvalande, the feature is that I swear fcr on the nn ring. unless you are a really cool nerd (in 2016, haha) and you won't calm down until you get the rejuvenation 2sor / fcr / hp / allres. and so, over there, people have already found. the ring is evil. :-)

In general, I don't really understand dancing around each stat in strength and dexterity ..) Will these ~ 100 hp really decide?) It seems not hardcore)

Irvalande, expu is not to lose the buzz, with 85+ quality. :-) Don't explode on wigs.

These ~ 100 hp are at least the difference between a regular enchant and a well-dressed one :)

I threw 30 stats into energy, because I need mana got enough ... that is, for good you need to pump? .. ((

Obsessed 19.11.21

Irvalande, in my opinion, you did just the right thing. Still, it would be good if you threw at least 10 into the teleport, and so, these ~ 100 hp are needed to compensate for the investment in energy (instead of survivability).

I always pumped energy to all the forties (not only to eskam and not only to cl) and usually more than 30 stats
100 hp naturally will not change anything, just like 200,
but from the fact that somewhere in the crowd of mobs you suddenly run out of mana, and there will either be no bottles, or you will slip over the button for a drink, it can be very bad,
not to mention the fact that flying just by holding the right button is much more pleasant than flying, holding the right button, keeping an eye on mana and mana bottles and running every minute to the city for new

When, somewhere in a crowd of mobs, HP suddenly ends, it's much worse somehow ...

f
firkax 19.11.21

a difference of 100 hp will not make the probability of ending hp much higher,
but a lack of mana can lead to the fact that your hp will start to run out, but you will not have time to do anything about it

Some kind of heresy.

It's simple. Don't swing blizzard, swing pho.

Irvalande, Bliz is also worth downloading cut for the sake of 10+ in the body.

Well, I don’t know.) The faster you take down, the faster the wounds ..) Although a cheap teleport is probably cool too ..)


PS I still have a randomly thrown one in pho and warmth ...)

Irvalande, she needs warmth. and with pho you can safely drag wigs.

I read in some thread on this forum where the type who, as I understand it, was in the top ladder (Alec) - said that the skill was useless on the classics. Well, really, the real usefulness of this skill is not clear ...

And be clear ... a machinist. xD Well, for "flying on the seals" in the xx close TP to pump a little sense.

Irvalande, this is nothing more than Alik's private opinion. besides, this bastard dumped from us to d3, where "grafon" - how can we trust him now? ; From
PS I hope the speech is still for pho, and not for warmth. ; D

>> Well, for "flying on pechatam" in the HKS close TP to pump a little sense.
It's sarcasm? :) And then from a magpie in xx, in fact, you only need a TP and a statics.
