Do I have to make these items?

I have been reading posts about PDR builds. I have seen blue amulets that have +19 resists and 20 PDR. I have seen armor and tiaras with 3-4open slots and they are called Jeweler's ****** and have massive PDR base on them. Where do I find these or do I have to make them?

My brother and I MF and I have around 400 and he has 500 and we run through games together and have never seen anything like these!

Do I have to be a certain level to gamble?

She just sells them normally?!

Hell Anya has the possibility to sell a jewelers armor of amicae.

Dunno the required level for gambling that ammy, there's an affix calc somewhere that should help with that information.

i've gotten high PDR amulets before, and none of my chars are over 86ish.

Altho it didn't have any nice 2nd mods like +resist all. Even so, a +25 PDR ammy is a nice addition to a PDR build.

Amulet ([email protected] 25pdr possible) - Gamble
Head (3os 25pdr possible) - Gamble coronets, and hope they upgrade. Also possible to reroll tiaras/diadems with the pgem recipe.
Armor - Shop Anya by going in and out the red portal to reset her inventory.
Shield - 4os 15pdr monarch possible, but cannot be shopped.

Magic find doesn't have anything to do with what stats an item spawns with, it only increases the chance of getting a magic (or better) item in the first place.

You're blowing my mind here. I thought MF influenced the quality of an item. Namely that the chance of something magical being dropped was influenced mainly by things like TC and number of players, and once something like that was triggered, your MF upped your chances of this being something good. I cannot, however, tell you where I read this.

Somewhere that they didn't know what they were talking about, would be my guess. :crazyeyes:

There's an Item Generation Tutorial around here that explains it in detail, but helvete's explanation is a very nice summary. MF can affect "item-quality" (magic, rare, unique, etc.), but it does not affect "affix-quality" or "item-base-types" in any way.
