A gambled amulet will get assigned an item level that is in a range from your characters level, -5 to +4. Well good news, I am going to explain to you the trick. But hold up, the item level of crafted amulets confuses the hell out of people. The simple solution is to gamble for the amulets. I want to craft right now, I don't want to farm blue amulets all day. The problem though, you can farm all day and not get a blue amulet from these sources. Got a blue amulet from baal in hell? Congrats it can get +2 to skills when you craft it. If you get a blue amulet to drop from a boss minion in a level 85 area, congrats it has the possibility of getting +2 to all skills when you craft it. It does not matter where you get this amulet, only that its ilvl is 88+.

To get +2 to skills you need to have a blue amulet with an item level of 88+. Guides written by people much smarter than me that I trust, and the results speak for themselves. I have read every guide on this topic that there is to be found on the internet. I have crafted 5000+ caster amulets over the years. This is where it confuses the hell out of people, and this is the part people get wrong. What blue magic amulets should you use when you are attempting to get the fabled +2 to skills? Don't hunt down high ilvl jewels to use because you are wasting time. Don't waste your fancy rolled jewels on crafting because the stats on the jewel you use have no impact on the final result of your amulet. These are referred to commonly as 'junk jewels'. It does not change the final result, ever. It can be from act 1 normal or from baal in hell. The level of the jewel has zero impact on the final result. The recipe to make a caster amulet is this:Ī ral rune, a magic amulet, a magic jewel, and a perfect amethyst I am specifically going to refer to crafted amulets, more specifically caster amulets in my example, but this applies to all crafted items based on the desired mods that you want to get. Here are a few simple things to know before I get into explaining item levels on gambled amulets. They say the correct response but then the explanation is wrong. Most of the responses are at least half wrong or misinterpreted correct responses. Every time this gets discussed there are responses that range from utterly wrong, to partly wrong and completely correct.
