Armor Diagram/Crafing vs Buying Question
I have a bunch of diagrams for certain armors I use in between the various treasure hunts. As an example, I have the diagram for Assassins Gauntlets, which according to the diagram provides 28 armor. But I routinely see different versions of the same gauntlets sold by shops that carry a higher armor value. Currently I have a set equipped that provides 59 armor that I purchased.
My question is since I like to craft the armor versus always buying it, can I not craft those same gauntlets at a higher armor value? Does it matter what crafter does it, meaning their skill level? Is my old diagram just pretty much worthless at this point and I should just keep buying the higher leveled versions from shops?
