+2 minion item level requirement?
So Im a bit confused about something. In the item prefixes page, it says that the +2 minion
gem prefix requires an item level of 65. But I was just looking at a +2 minion helm which Im pretty sure (based on the base energy shield amount and appearance), is item level 62. So am I missing something? Is the prefixes page wrong, or is the appearance and energy shield amount on a circlet not specific to a given item level? |

" Is level 62 the level requirement for the item or is level 62 the itemlevel provided using the /itemlevel command? |

its what the /itemlevel command gives.
I assume this is the value thats referred to in the prefix page chart.. ie, if you want to be able to roll a given prefix on an item, in must have /itemlevel at least as big as what is shown in the chart.. |

bump.. I'd really like an answer to this before I waste another stack of transmutation orbs..
Here is a helm from my stash with item level 62: and here is a helm which has the same base energy shield and image with + 2 minion: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/128603 edit: and here is the prefixes page saying that +2 minion is a level 65 mod: http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/prefixmod So is the prefixes page just wrong?

" An item can have an Item Level (or ilevel) of higher than its base type requirement level. You can determine the item level by holding the item on your cursor, and typing the /itemlevel command. In trade you can determine it by holding Alt while hovering the item you are trading for. The item with base requirement of 62 would have had an ilevel of 65 or higher. | |
No. The circlet with + 2 minion have 65+ item level.

So just to make sure I understand:
Two items with the same image and base stats/ level requirement, can actually have different item levels. This item level can be determined only by the /itemlevel command, and is necessary to know if you want to craft the item to have specific mods. Do I have this right now? |

Yes, just like when you find an iron ring in act 1 normal vs act 1 merciless. Same "item type", different ilvl.

Ok, thanks everyone. Fwiw, this is a pretty clunky system.. it made me waste 2 stacks of transmutation orbs :(.
Other things in this game are very well designed though, so keep up the good work.. but this hidden item level system may be a bit of an exception. |
