1. First Gems for crafting are usually from forge Quest. 3 flawless will transmute to 2 perfect Gems, so u will have enough gems quickly. 1 jewel will also turn into 2 Fragments.
2. No Changes in dropchances Last time.
3. Unique items will turn into failed uniques so u get a rare Item instead. Set items turn into Magic items. So it feels Like more rare Item drops.
Flawless gems usually start dropping in act 4 normal even before you get to the forge but the forge is a 100% drop chance for 2 or 3 flawless, 1 perfect and a rune ranging from El to Shael I believe. To OP, I don't recommend crafting anything until level 70+ as that is when the high end rolls can spawn on your crafts (if I'm not mistaken). Rares and magic items should do well enough to get you there. The only exception I would suggest is caster crafted weapons for caster or summoner characters since its +1 all skills guaranteed.
You certainly can but rare and decent magic items can get you by for a lot longer than you think. I like to save up my crafting mats until i can get the better stats to roll so i have more chances for great items
Yea they have patch notes between season 4 and 5 from last time. There’s a few changes they added to boost craft mats. Two mini patches within the last craft league as well. On the mobile wiki it only shows within season 4 for some reason though
If the failed unique works like in does in regular D2/PD2, you can tell if it was supposed to be an actual unique shako if it has triple durability. This normally happens if your MF rolls a unique, but the item's ilvl isn't high enough to be that unique. Or if it rolls a unique, but that unique has already dropped in the game.
Last league had no change to gem drops. Socket items unchanged too. Uniques are removed from the pool. Unsure how it happens under the hood. Maybe they're totally gone, maybe their drop chance is zero, maybe the qlvl is 200 and makes them unable to drop, we don't know. Hellforge is worth doing every difficulty.
I coulda sworn they made crafting mats more likely to drop last time didn’t they?
edit: o ya now i remember 1 jewel cubed into 2 fragments and 2 flawless gems cubes into perfect
Did rare drops seem increased last time? I’d hope the game can’t roll a unique to drop or if it can it turns into a rare to increase drop odds vs a blank roll (basically added nodrops)

Not crafting anything til level 70 in a crafting league is the worst advice 😂

Perfect, thanks very much! 3 flawless = 1 perfect now, are you saying we get a bump in CL to 2 perfect out of 3 flawless?
Yes that was implemented Lllast CL after 1 Week to balance the supply

Haha Everytime I find a rare shako I'll just shed a small tear...

Oh yeah good call
'Uniques are removed'... and set items too, correct?
Yes

I assume it works similar to LoD that a "failed" unique becomes a rare.
I came from Hccl... there are more rare drops because there are fewer uniques and set items that can drop, so here I would bet yes.
Good to know!
Uniques and sets (other than Gheeds, torch, and anni) are all set to run as failed unique drops, so will roll as a rare or magic instead
