why not able to fuse items? add magical aura from old wep to new. it is lame every few levels my replaced set gets sold. I 100% agree should be some way ( unlockable at crafting cap or making x number of lvl things )
to upgrade or add some randomness to crafting.
I make 10,000 weps or armors I should be skilled enough to make on on par with dungeon drops random rolls.
