I could use help testing out crafting to make sure there aren't typos in my formulas (there likely will be a few as I have already caught a couple of them). Folks can also double check gems & runes to make sure I have those correct although I think they are good to go.

To help test things here is a zip file that contains:
- modified gems.txt
- modified cubemain.txt with new crafting formulas
- modified misc.txt that allows Akara to sell all gems/runes/jewels for 1g and charsi to sell hammers for 1g (handy to get crafting supplies)
- modified monstats.txt that changes treasure class of blood moor monsters - that should allow you to get plenty of elite/exceptional items for crafting

zip file for download
http://blue.arimyth.com/crafttest.zip

Process to install:

1. BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL TXT files
2. download the zip
3. extract the txt files to your Diablo II\Data\Global\Excel folder
4. run the game in single player (edits won't work on realm)

Let me know what you find. Don't forget that crafts also get rare mods, so you may see some variety. For example, when you craft an elemental sword it may get say 208-420 cold dmg rather than the listed 200-400 cold dmg. This is just because the item spawned with +8-20 cold dmg and not because of a txt error. However if you find that error comes up repeatedly, then it is a txt error (or really wonky statistical chances!)

Thanks all for their testing, it helps keep the final patch high quality and we all want that.

oh - it is also probably handy to have a link to the patch changes in this thread:
http://blue.arimyth.com/patch.html

There are a couple new tweaks to crafting based on Brevan's feedback and my testing, nothing very dramatic though.

I'll start testing in like 10 min, i have like an hour so i will check it precisly. I would ask you blue just for one favor. Highlight in your page what exact changes you have done to the crafts, so i will know which one i should focus most. Anyway i'm glad i can at least help in testing. :D
Edit. One more, could u edit txt's that akara whould also sell rings and amulets for 1g?? It'll be easier to check everything.

To be honest, with stuff like this errors could exist anywhere so it is probably easiest to just run down the whole list and just start crafting away. I worry that if I highlight stuff, that errors may show up where I didn't expect them.

I found that rings/ammys dropped pretty quick in the blood moor from the with the jazzed up drops. Pretty funny to kill those low level monsters and watch showers of loot come out :P

hmm.. with the ele craft shields perhaps we should leave it like that as I have been informed that %magic dmg increased doesn't work.

already fixed the fireball, but will fix up the iceblast. thanks!

Looks like I plain old screwed up most all of the onstruck skills for elemental crafts. Fixing them up now

ok - ctc spells on elemental crafts should now all be correct.
I took a middle of the road approach with magic dmg, reduced it a bit but kept it a little higher than originally planned.

website & zip file are updated with the latest information.
