Just a thought I have been pondering over the last few days regarding crafted legendary and set items for when the itemization patch comes out. We were told that when itemization goes live, all legendary and set items will be able to roll at the monster level from which we obtain that item. In other words, a legendary such as Leoric's Signet which now only drops in normal at an item level of 17 would be able to drop in Inferno with an item level of 63, thus making the rolls on that item level 63 as well.
Here is my suggestion: Please allow all crafted legendary and set items to have this same possibility. As it is now, no one ever uses these items at end game, because they are simply too obsolete by that point. The plans are already so rare, it would be nice to see some attention paid to these items. Most of them are actually really cool, and it would be neat to be able to use them when we are level 60.
The best way I can think of to implement this would be to have the item roll its affixes at the level of the player who crafts it. So, let's say a player wants to craft the set pants Captain Crimson's Bowsprit. As it is now, this is a level 32 item. So, if a player crafts it at (or before) his own level of 32, it stays exactly the same as it is now. However, let's say this same player crafts Captain Crimson's Bowsprit when he is at level 45 - the pants would then roll with an item level of 45, thus increasing its affixes to an item level of 45. This notion would apply all the way to level 60, where the item then would be able to roll at an item level of 60 (or 63, which would be even better).
For instance, let's say my character, a level 60 Wizard, crafts Captain Crimson's Bowsprit. Instead of rolling with the properties it has now, which are set at level 32 and are:
Captain Crimson's Bowsprit
Legs
Set Pants
102 Armor
Attack Speed Increased by 4–5%
+4% Chance to Block
+3 Random Magic Properties
Crafting these at level 60 would then have the item roll with an item level of 63, therefore allowing it to look like this for example:
Captain Crimson's Bowsprit
Legs
Set Pants 430 Armor
Attack Speed Increased by 8–9% +9% Chance to Block
+3 Random Magic Properties
Bam.
Possible replacement for Inna's, anyone? Imagine if those 3 random rolls were All Resistance, 2 sockets, and main stat/vit. Oh boy.
To take this notion even further, obviously the set bonuses would also have to scale accordingly. For example, let us take the current set bonuses for Captain Crimson's Finery:
In conclusion, I think this would be a really substantial improvement to the crafting system, it would allow for more players to move away from the Auction House, it would give players like myself who love to craft an even greater incentive to do so, and it would open up far greater options for gear selection and customization. Imagine the possibilities if all of these low level craftables were given the chance to roll at an item level of 63 like the dropped legendaries and sets will soon be able to do. Just go ahead and look at those lower level recipies. It would be amazing. Go ahead, look at them. Like, right now. Why are you still here?
Blues, it would be great if you could pass this idea on to the developers. Thank you all for your time!
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a long time follower of DiabloFans, and read the forums and frontpage daily, and have just decided to sign up.
I just wanted to say hello to everyone here, and that I am happy to now be a part of such a wonderful community of such passionate Diablo 3 players. I am online pretty regularly every day, and now working on getting my main, a wizard, to paragon level 100.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Take care everyone.

(3) Set:
+20 Resistance to All Elements
Now, let's assume a player has crafted these items when they all have an item level of 63. They might look something like this:
Captain Crimson's Finery
Captain Crimson's Bowsprit
Captain Crimson's Satin Sash
Captain Crimson's Whalers
(2) Set:
Regenerates 360 Life per Second
(3) Set:
+60 Resistance to All Elements
