["Solved"-Not a Bug]Hybrid Mods Counting as Single Mods on the crafting benches

This is not a bug. The issue is that there are different kind of mods with several parts and we call all of them hybrid, even though we could distinguish them properly. The ItemInfo script you used there should even do so, but as it turns out I made an error within my own notation and didn't label that sub-case properly. It was supposed to say "T1 HDP" and "Notation: HDP: Hybrid Defence Prefix. Flat Def on Hybrid Base Armour."

The shield in the opening post has two base defenses: evasion and energy shield. These items always have the dual-defense mods, meaning:
* "% increased Evasion and Energy Shield" (and not a "% increase" of a single stat)
* flat "to Evasion Rating/to Energy Shield". This stat is written in two parts because the flat number of Energy Shield is much lower, so you can't write "to Evasion and Energy Shield" in one.

This means the "pure flat defense" mod on the shield is there, you can't craft another pure flat defense on it.

Please note that you can use crafting benches to craft any defense type you like, so master crafts don't limit you to craft only the dual-defense mod on dual-defense base types (if there is no corresponding mod yet). This is not a contradiction to my explanation though, because you can even craft "% increased Energy Shield" on an item with just Armour, so that the craft is entirely pointless.



The master crafted example with the typical hybrid mod is different. Having a "flat def/life" mod is neither the pure flat defense group, nor the pure life mod. You can craft life in addition and you can craft pure flat defense in addition.

Original Post

So, i've recently got this shield:

Edit:



I can craft life on it, but I can't craft flat ES or Evasion. Why?

Screenshots:

As I don't think this is intentional, I can only guess it's a bug or inconsistent with other master crafting mods like you can see here:



Or maybe i'm just somehow missing something here.

Thanks

I'm a 100% sure it has a free prefix because I can craft life on it, but I can't craft flat ES or Evasion.

If you hover over the red text it should tell you why you can't craft it. In this case I strongly suspect it will tell you that you already have an affix of that type, so you can't craft another of them.

Same here. Can't craft %increase physical dmg. While the %phys & rating that's already on there is a hybrid mod. Weird.
