How to do repeating craft "+ maximum life" at Rank 5?

When I try to craft "+ maximum life" on a rare item that already has such mod, I get a corresponding tooltip that this is impossible.

But there are items on market that have this mod crafted despite having such roll. How is this possible?

Another question, there are usually 3 ranks of crafting. And on trade side, they are indicated by R1, R2 and R3. But there are items with R5. How is this done?

An item to illustrate both question is:

You have to start with a hybrid +life mod from one of the influence mods. Then you can add +life on top of that. That little green squiggle shows that you're looking at an influenced item. If you look at the full description of the mods one will be a Hunter mod that grants +life and something else.

Chests have 2 extra tiers of crafted life

There are hybrid mods that grant life + armour, life + evasion etc. If you have one of those you can craft standalone life.

these hybrid mods have nothing to do with the item being influenced. theyre in the normal mod pool

infact, you can even craft hybrid defense+life mods.



as to the item in question:
the chest has an armor+life mod, allowing someone to also craft flat life.



heres an old crappy pair of boots with flat life, and then crafted life/defense

Thanks for answers everyone!

Got life?
