Lets say a Recipe requires an item X to craft a new item A,
If Item X has a low potential like 3/5,
will the potential of the newly crated item A be 3/5 or 5/5 as a new one?
Also will the enhancement and socket gems remain in the new item as well?
Potential decreases as:
A. You add a socket to the item.
B. You trade the item.
This is all I know about potential in items so far.
But for your situation, I would assume if its a new yielded item it would have max potential possible.
Nothing from the old equipment used to craft the new one will transfer over. The crafted item will be brand new, with max potential, and no enhancements.
i support this^.
evidence: crafted one weapon using another weapon with 3/4 potential, the new crafted one is 5/5
