Diablo 2: Resurrected Crafting Guide
Below you can find the top five crafts that can be better than uniques in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
1. Caster Amulet
Caster Amulets give 5-10% faster cast rate which greatly benefits Enigma builds that use Teleport and caster builds.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Amethyst
1 Ral Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Magic Amulet (you can gamble this at a high level)
Tip: The Caster Amulet can roll an additional 10% faster cast rate for a maximum of 20%. It has the highest chance of being +2 to skills when the magic amulet is gambled and crafted at level 93 or higher.
2. Blood Ring
Blood Rings add up to 3% life leech, 5 strength, and 20 life to a ring and can roll with additional life leech, mana leech, and life.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Ruby
1 Sol Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Magic Ring (you can gamble this at a high level)
Tip: The Blood Ring can have life leech as high as 11% and can also roll mana leech for a chance at a dual leech ring with all resistances. The 20 health on Blood Ring can also stack further to a fairly high amount of life.
3. Blood Gloves
Blood Gloves can roll with up to 10% Crushing Blow for the highest source of Crushing Blow available on gloves in the game. Blood Gloves also give up to an extra 3% life leech and up to an extra 20 life.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Ruby
1 Nef Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Pair of Heavy Gloves/Sharkskin Gloves/Vampirebone Gloves (can be gambled at a high level)
Tip: Blood Gloves can roll with 10% crushing blow, 20% increased attack speed, +2 Javelin Skills or +2 Martial Arts Skills, and life leech/mana leech. You can reach a maximum of 6% life leech and 3% mana leech on Blood Gloves. You can find Vampirebone Gloves in a high level area or gamble them on a high level character and wait for them to upgrade to the base you want.
4. Blood Amulet
Blood Amulets can roll with up to 10% faster run/walk, up to an extra 4% life leech, and up to an extra 20 to life. The faster run walk is a nice quality of life improvement that can speed up your runs while the life leech and life will improve your survival.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Ruby
1 Amn Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Magic Amulet (can be gambled for at a high level)

5. Safety Amulet
Safety Amulet can roll with up to 10% increased block chance, damage reduced by 4, and magic damage reduced by 2. This amulet has increased block chance which lowers the amount of Dexterity needed to have maximum block and provides damage reduction.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Emerald
1 Thul Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Amulet (can be gambled for at a high level)
Tip: The Safety Amulet works similar to a high Dexterity roll for blocking purposes. It has the highest chance of having +2 to skills when the magic amulet is gambled and crafted at level 93 or higher.
HM. Hit Power Gloves
The honorable mention goes to Hit Power Gloves which can roll with Knockback and a 5% chance to cast level 4 Frost Nova when struck. They are primarily used by Bowazons and Javazons to add Knockback to their attacks which stuns enemies.
What's needed:
1 Perfect Sapphire
1 Ort Rune
1 Magic Jewel
1 Pair of Chain Gloves/Heavy Bracers/Vambraces (can be gambled for at a high level)
Tip: Hit Power Gloves can roll with 20% increased attack speed and can have +2 to Javelin and Spear Skills or +2 to Bow and Crossbow Skills. These gloves are also popular in player vs player to knockback and stun opponents.
Getting Runes and Perfect Gems
The runes and gems for crafting can be found just playing the game. If you find that you need them quicker, The Countess in the Forgotten Tower drops crafting runes frequently on Nightmare and Hell difficulty. The Cow Level and Travincal are great sources for crafting runes and flawless gems which can be combined into perfect gems. And trading lesser items for perfect gems in a trade game is also a common method for getting the perfect gems that are used for crafting.
End Note
The crafted items listed above are all of the best crafted items that have the potential to be better than other options available in the game. All the rest of the crafted items are not really worth crafting because there are better items available as uniques. Every amulet you craft has a chance at being a better than rare +2 to skills amulet with good modifiers, every Blood Ring you craft has a chance at being a dual leech ring with all resistance, and every set of Blood Gloves you craft has a chance at being 20% ias, +2 Javelin Skills, crushing blow, with life and mana leech. And that is all for the crafting guide! Best of luck with crafting all of your items!
